tipc: simplify resetting and disabling of bearers

2015-05-14T16:24:45+00:00

Since commit 4b475e3f2f8e4e241de101c8240f1d74d0470494 ("tipc: eliminate delayed link deletion at link failover") the extra boolean parameter "shutting_down" is not any longer needed for the functions bearer_disable() and tipc_link_delete_list(). Furhermore, the function tipc_link_reset_links(), called from bearer_reset() is now unnecessary. We can just as well delete all the links, as we do in bearer_disable(), and start over with creating new links. This commit introduces those changes.

tipc: fix default link prop regression in nl compat

2015-05-09T20:40:02+00:00

Default link properties can be set for media or bearer. This functionality was missed when introducing the NL compatibility layer. This patch implements this functionality in the compat netlink layer. It works the same way as it did in the old API. We search for media and bearers matching the "link name". If we find a matching media or bearer the link tolerance, priority or window is used as default for new links on that media or bearer.

tipc: remove wrong use of NLM_F_MULTI

2015-04-29T18:59:17+00:00

NLM_F_MULTI must be used only when a NLMSG_DONE message is sent. In fact, it is sent only at the end of a dump. Libraries like libnl will wait forever for NLMSG_DONE.

tipc: ensure that idle links are deleted when a bearer is disabled

2015-03-10T22:37:36+00:00

commit afaa3f65f65fda2e7b190aac7e2a75d9a2a77cb6 (tipc: purge links when bearer is disabled) was an attempt to resolve a problem that turned out to have a more profound reason. When we disable a bearer, we delete all its pertaining links if there is no other bearer to perform failover to, or if the module is shutting down. In case there are dual bearers, we wait with deleting links until the failover procedure is finished. However, this misses the case when a link on the removed bearer was already down, so that there will be no failover procedure to finish the link delete. This causes confusion if a new bearer is added to replace the removed one, and also entails a small memory leak. This commit takes the current state of the link into account when deciding when to delete it, and also reverses the above-mentioned commit.

tipc: add ip/udp media type

2015-03-06T03:08:42+00:00

The ip/udp bearer can be configured in a point-to-point mode by specifying both local and remote ip/hostname, or it can be enabled in multicast mode, where links are established to all tipc nodes that have joined the same multicast group. The multicast IP address is generated based on the TIPC network ID, but can be overridden by using another multicast address as remote ip.

tipc: purge links when bearer is disabled

2015-02-27T23:18:47+00:00

If a bearer is disabled by manual intervention, all links over that bearer should be purged, indicated with the 'shutting_down' flag. Otherwise tipc will get confused if a new bearer is enabled using a different media type. Signed-off-by: Erik Hugne Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

tipc: remove tipc_snprintf

2015-02-09T21:20:49+00:00

tipc_snprintf() was heavily utilized by the old netlink API which no longer exists (now netlink compat). In this patch we swap tipc_snprintf() to the identical scnprintf() in the only remaining occurrence.

tipc: convert legacy nl bearer enable/disable to nl compat

2015-02-09T21:20:47+00:00

Introduce a framework for transcoding legacy nl action into actions (.doit) calls from the new nl API. This is done by converting the incoming TLV data into netlink data with nested netlink attributes. Unfortunately due to the randomness of the legacy API we can't do this generically so each legacy netlink command requires a specific transcoding recipe. In this case for bearer enable and bearer disable. Convert TIPC_CMD_ENABLE_BEARER and TIPC_CMD_DISABLE_BEARER into doit compat calls.
