tipc: simplify include dependencies

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

When we try to add new inline functions in the code, we sometimes run into circular include dependencies. The main problem is that the file core.h, which really should be at the root of the dependency chain, instead is a leaf. I.e., core.h includes a number of header files that themselves should be allowed to include core.h. In reality this is unnecessary, because core.h does not need to know the full signature of any of the structs it refers to, only their type declaration. In this commit, we remove all dependencies from core.h towards any other tipc header file. As a consequence of this change, we can now move the function tipc_own_addr(net) from addr.c to addr.h, and make it inline. There are no functional changes in this 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: make media address offset a common define

2015-02-27T23:18:48+00:00

With the exception of infiniband media which does not use media offsets, the media address is always located at offset 4 in the media info field as defined by the protocol, so we move the definition to the generic bearer.h Signed-off-by: Erik Hugne Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

tipc: rename media/msg related definitions

2015-02-27T23:18:48+00:00

The TIPC_MEDIA_ADDR_SIZE and TIPC_MEDIA_ADDR_OFFSET names are misleading, as they actually define the size and offset of the whole media info field and not the address part. This patch does not have any functional changes. Signed-off-by: Erik Hugne Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

tipc: convert legacy nl media dump to nl compat

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.

tipc: convert legacy nl bearer dump to nl compat

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

Introduce a framework for dumping netlink data from the new netlink API and formatting it to the old legacy API format. This is done by looping the dump data and calling a format handler for each entity, in this case a bearer. We dump until either all data is dumped or we reach the limited buffer size of the legacy API. Remember, the legacy API doesn't scale. In this commit we convert TIPC_CMD_GET_BEARER_NAMES to use the compat layer. Signed-off-by: Richard Alpe Reviewed-by: Erik Hugne Reviewed-by: Ying Xue Reviewed-by: Jon Maloy Signed-off-by: David S.

tipc: make tipc broadcast link support net namespace

2015-01-12T21:24:33+00:00

TIPC broadcast link is statically established and its relevant states are maintained with the global variables: "bcbearer", "bclink" and "bcl". Allowing different namespace to own different broadcast link instances, these variables must be moved to tipc_net structure and broadcast link instances would be allocated and initialized when namespace is created.

tipc: make bearer list support net namespace

2015-01-12T21:24:32+00:00

Bearer list defined as a global variable is used to store bearer instances. When tipc supports net namespace, bearers created in one namespace must be isolated with others allocated in other namespaces, which requires us that the bearer list(bearer_list) must be moved to tipc_net structure. As a result, a net namespace pointer has to be passed to functions which access the bearer list. Signed-off-by: Ying Xue Tested-by: Tero Aho Reviewed-by: Jon Maloy Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

tipc: make tipc node table aware of net namespace

2015-01-12T21:24:32+00:00

Global variables associated with node table are below: - node table list (node_htable) - node hash table list (tipc_node_list) - node table lock (node_list_lock) - node number counter (tipc_num_nodes) - node link number counter (tipc_num_links) To make node table support namespace, above global variables must be moved to tipc_net structure in order to keep secret for different namespaces. As a consequence, these variables are allocated and initialized when namespace is created, and deallocated when namespace is destroyed. After the change, functions associated with these variables have to utilize a namespace pointer to access them. So adding namespace pointer as a parameter of these functions is the major change made in the commit. Signed-off-by: Ying Xue Tested-by: Tero Aho Reviewed-by: Jon Maloy Signed-off-by: David S. Miller
