TIPC: Updated topology subscription protocol according to latest spec

2010-04-07T02:50:19Z

This patch makes it explicit in the API that all fields in subscriptions and events exchanged with the Topology Server must be in network byte order. It also ensures that all fields of a subscription are compared when cancelling a subscription, in order to avoid inadvertent cancelling of the wrong subscription. Finally, the tipc module version is updated to 2.0.0, to reflect the API change. Signed-off-by: Jon Maloy Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

tipc: fix endianness on tipc subscriber messages

2010-03-08T20:20:58Z

Remove htohl implementation from tipc I was working on forward porting the downstream commits for TIPC and ran accross this one: http://tipc.cslab.ericsson.net/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?p=people/allan/tipc.git;a=commitdiff;h=894279b9437b63cbb02405ad5b8e033b51e4e31e I was going to just take it, when I looked closer and noted what it was doing. This is basically a routine to byte swap fields of data in sent/received packets for tipc, dependent upon the receivers guessed endianness of the peer when a connection is established. Asside from just seeming silly to me, it appears to violate the latest RFC draft for tipc: http://tipc.sourceforge.net/doc/draft-spec-tipc-02.txt Which, according to section 4.2 and 4.3.3, requires that all fields of all commands be sent in network byte order. So instead of just taking this patch, instead I'm removing the htohl function and replacing the calls with calls to ntohl in the rx path and htonl in the send path. As part of this fix, I'm also changing the subscr_cancel function, which searches the list of subscribers, using a memcmp of the entire subscriber list, for the entry to tear down. unfortunately it memcmps the entire tipc_subscr structure which has several bits that are private to the local side, so nothing will ever match. section 5.2 of the draft spec indicates the tuple should uniquely identify a subscriber, so convert subscr_cancel to just match on those fields (properly endian swapped). I've tested this using the tipc test suite, and its passed without issue. Signed-off-by: Neil Horman Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

net/tipc/subscr.c: don't use ___constant_swab32

2008-08-13T09:32:06Z

It's an internal implementation detail which we _should_ be free to change. So we did, and it promptly broke. The compiler shold be able to work out when to use the __constant version anyway. Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

tipc: Cosmetic cleanup of topology service code

2008-05-19T20:30:13Z

This patch contains a set of cosmetic changes to TIPC's network topology service subsystem, including: - updates to comments (including copyright dates) - re-ordering structure fields to group them more logically - removal of optional debugging code that is no longer required - minor changes to whitespace to conform to Linux coding conventions Signed-off-by: Allan Stephens Signed-off-by: David S.

tipc: Consolidate subscriber & subscriber port references

2008-05-19T20:29:47Z

This patch modifies TIPC's network topology service so that it only requires a single reference table entry per subscriber connection, rather than two. This is achieved by letting the reference to the server port communicating with the subscriber act as the reference to the subscriber object itself. (Since the subscriber cannot exist without its port, and vice versa, this dual role for the reference is perfectly natural.) This consolidation reduces the size of the reference table by 50% in the default configuration. Signed-off-by: Allan Stephens Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

tipc: Fix bug in topology server byte swapping routine

2008-05-19T20:29:06Z

This patch fixes TIPC's topology server so that it does byte swapping correctly when endianness conversion is required. (Note: This bug only impacted an application if it issues a subscription request to a topology server on another node, rather than the server on it's own node; since the topology server is normally not accessible by off-node applications, most TIPC applications were not impacted by the bug.)

tipc: Add support for customized subscription endianness

2008-05-19T20:28:32Z

This patch enables TIPC's topology server code to do customized endianness conversions on a per-subscription basis. (This capability is needed to support the upcoming consolidation of subscriber and subscription object references.) Signed-off-by: Allan Stephens Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

tipc: Add support for customized subscription overlap handling

2008-05-19T20:27:31Z

tipc: Fix race condition when creating socket or native port

2008-05-12T22:42:28Z

This patch eliminates the (very remote) chance of a crash resulting from a partially initialized socket or native port unexpectedly receiving a message. Now, during the creation of a socket or native port, the underlying generic port's lock is not released until all initialization required to handle incoming messages has been done.
