tipc: fix regression bug where node events are not being generated

2014-04-03T20:03:57Z

Commit 5902385a2440a55f005b266c93e0bb9398e5a62b ("tipc: obsolete the remote management feature") introduces a regression where node topology events are not being generated because the publication that triggers this: {0, , } is no longer available. This will break applications that rely on node events to discover when nodes join/leave a cluster. We fix this by advertising the node publication when TIPC enters networking mode, and withdraws it upon shutdown.

tipc: rename node create lock to protect node list and hlist

2014-03-27T17:08:37Z

When a node is created, tipc_net_lock read lock is first held and then node_create_lock is grabbed in order to prevent the same node from being created and inserted into both node list and hlist twice. But when we query node from the two node lists, we only hold tipc_net_lock read lock without grabbing node_create_lock. Obviously this locking policy is unable to guarantee that the two node lists are always synchronized especially when the operation of changing and accessing them occurs in different contexts like currently doing. Therefore, rename node_create_lock to node_list_lock to protect the two node lists, that is, whenever node is inserted into them or node is queried from them, the node_list_lock should be always held. As a result, tipc_net_lock read lock becomes redundant and then can be removed from the node query functions.

tipc: obsolete the remote management feature

2014-03-27T17:08:36Z

Due to the lacking of any credential, it's allowed to accept commands requested from remote nodes to query the local node status, which is prone to involve potential security risks. Instead, if we login to a remote node with ssh command, this approach is not only more safe than the remote management feature, but also it can give us more permissions like changing the remote node configuration. So it's reasonable for us to obsolete the remote management feature now. Signed-off-by: Ying Xue Reviewed-by: Erik Hugne Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

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

2014-02-18T22:31:59Z

tipc: change tipc_net_start routine return value type

2012-08-20T09:26:30Z

Since now tipc_net_start() always returns a success code - 0, its return value type should be changed from integer to void, which can avoid unnecessary check for its return value. Signed-off-by: Ying Xue Signed-off-by: Jon Maloy Signed-off-by: Paul Gortmaker Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

tipc: use standard printk shortcut macros (pr_err etc.)

2012-07-13T23:24:44Z

All messages should go directly to the kernel log. The TIPC specific error, warning, info and debug trace macro's are removed and all references replaced with pr_err, pr_warn, pr_info and pr_debug. Commonly used sub-strings are explicitly declared as a const char to reduce .text size. Note that this means the debug messages (changed to pr_debug), are now enabled through dynamic debugging, instead of a TIPC specific Kconfig option (TIPC_DEBUG). The latter will be phased out completely Signed-off-by: Erik Hugne Signed-off-by: Jon Maloy [PG: use pr_fmt as suggested by Joe Perches ] Signed-off-by: Paul Gortmaker

tipc: Enhance re-initialization of network topology service

2012-04-26T22:15:40Z

Streamlines the job of re-initializing TIPC's network topology service when a node's network address is first assigned. Rather than destroying the topology server port and breaking its connections to existing subscribers, TIPC now simply lets the service continue running (since the change to the port identifier of each port used by the topology service no longer impacts the flow of messages between the service and its subscribers). This enhancement means that applications that utilize the topology service prior to the assignment of TIPC's network address no longer need to re-establish their subscriptions when the address is finally assigned. However, it is worth noting that any subsequent events for existing subscriptions report the new port identifier of the publishing port, rather than the original port identifier. (For example, a name that was previously reported as being published by <0.0.0:ref> may be subsequently withdrawn by .) This doesn't impact any of the existing known userspace in tipc-utils, since (a) TIPC continues to treat references to the original port ID correctly and (b) normal use cases assign an address before active use. However if there does happen to be some rare/custom application out there that was relying on this, they can simply bypass the enhancement by issuing a subscription to {0,0} and break its connection to the topology service, if an associated withdrawal event occurs.

tipc: Optimize re-initialization of configuration service

2012-04-26T21:19:07Z

Streamlines the job of re-initializing TIPC's configuration service when a node's network address is first assigned. Rather than destroying the configuration server port and then recreating it, TIPC now simply withdraws the existing {0,<0.0.0>} name publication and creates a new {0,} name publication that identifies the node's network address to interested subscribers.

tipc: take lock while updating node network address

2012-04-19T19:46:46Z

The routine that changes the node's network address now takes TIPC's network lock in write mode while the main address variable and associated data structures are being changed; this is needed to ensure that the link subsystem won't attempt to send a message off-node until the sending port's message header template has been updated with the node's new network address.

tipc: Eliminate support for tipc_mode global variable

2012-02-24T22:05:17Z

Removes all references to the global variable that records whether TIPC is running in "single node" mode or "network" mode, since this information can be easily deduced from the global variable that records TIPC's network address. (i.e. a non-zero network address means that TIPC is running in network mode.) The changes made update most existing mode-based checks to use the network address global variable. A few checks that are no longer needed are removed entirely, along with any associated code lying on non-executable control paths. Signed-off-by: Allan Stephens Signed-off-by: Paul Gortmaker
