tipc: some cleanups in the file discover.c

2018-03-23T17:12:17+00:00

To facilitate the coming changes in the neighbor discovery functionality we make some renaming and refactoring of that code. The functional changes in this commit are trivial, e.g., that we move the message sending call in tipc_disc_timeout() outside the spinlock protected region.

tipc: eliminate buffer leak in bearer layer

2016-04-07T21:00:13+00:00

When enabling a bearer we create a 'neigbor discoverer' instance by calling the function tipc_disc_create() before the bearer is actually registered in the list of enabled bearers. Because of this, the very first discovery broadcast message, created by the mentioned function, is lost, since it cannot find any valid bearer to use. Furthermore, the used send function, tipc_bearer_xmit_skb() does not free the given buffer when it cannot find a bearer, resulting in the leak of exactly one send buffer each time a bearer is enabled. This commit fixes this problem by introducing two changes: 1) Instead of attemting to send the discovery message directly, we let tipc_disc_create() return the discovery buffer to the calling function, tipc_enable_bearer(), so that the latter can send it when the enabling sequence is finished. 2) In tipc_bearer_xmit_skb(), as well as in the two other transmit functions at the bearer layer, we now free the indicated buffer or buffer chain when a valid bearer cannot be found.

tipc: involve namespace infrastructure

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

Involve namespace infrastructure, make the "tipc_net_id" global variable aware of per namespace, and rename it to "net_id". In order that the conversion can be successfully done, an instance of networking namespace must be passed to relevant functions, allowing them to access the "net_id" variable of per namespace.

tipc: fix race in disc create/delete

2014-04-23T01:17:53+00:00

Commit a21a584d6720ce349b05795b9bcfab3de8e58419 (tipc: fix neighbor detection problem after hw address change) introduces a race condition involving tipc_disc_delete() and tipc_disc_add/remove_dest that can cause TIPC to dereference the pointer to the bearer discovery request structure after it has been freed since a stray pointer is left in the bearer structure. In order to fix the issue, the process of resetting the discovery request handler is optimized: the discovery request handler and request buffer are just reset instead of being freed, allocated and initialized. As the request point is always valid and the request's lock is taken while the request handler is reset, the race doesn't happen any more.

tipc: make discovery domain a bearer attribute

2014-03-28T18:46:29+00:00

The node discovery domain is assigned when a bearer is enabled. In the previous commit we reflect this attribute directly in the bearer structure since it's needed to reinitialize the node discovery mechanism after a hardware address change. There's no need to replicate this attribute anywhere else, so we remove it from the tipc_link_req structure. Signed-off-by: Erik Hugne Reviewed-by: Ying Xue Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

tipc: align tipc function names with common naming practice in the network

tipc: rename struct link* to struct tipc_link*

tipc: Add monitoring of number of nodes discovered by bearer

2011-05-10T20:04:01+00:00

Augments TIPC's discovery object to track the number of neighboring nodes having an active link to the associated bearer. This means tipc_disc_update_link_req() becomes either one of: tipc_disc_add_dest() or: tipc_disc_remove_dest() depending on the code flow direction of things.

tipc: Enhance handling of discovery object creation failures

2011-05-10T20:03:59+00:00

Modifies bearer creation and deletion code to improve handling of scenarios when a neighbor discovery object cannot be created. The creation routine now aborts the creation of a bearer if its discovery object cannot be created, and deletes the newly created bearer, rather than failing quietly and leaving an unusable bearer hanging around. Since the exit via the goto label really isn't a definitive failure in all cases, relabel it appropriately. Signed-off-by: Allan Stephens Signed-off-by: Paul Gortmaker

tipc: Remove unused message header field for requested number of links
