  • Saves a socket's TIPC_CONN_TIMEOUT socket option value in its original
    form (milliseconds), rather than jiffies. This ensures that the exact
    value set using setsockopt() is always returned by getsockopt(), without
    being subject to rounding issues introduced by a ms->jiffies->ms
    conversion sequence.

  • Rework TIPC's message sending routines to take advantage of the total
    amount of data value passed to it by the kernel socket infrastructure.
    This change eliminates the need for TIPC to compute the size of outgoing
    messages itself, as well as the check for an oversize message in
    tipc_msg_build(). In addition, this change warrants an explanation:

    - res = send_packet(NULL, sock, &my_msg, 0);
    + res = send_packet(NULL, sock, &my_msg, bytes_to_send);

    Previously, the final argument to send_packet() was ignored (since the
    amount of data being sent was recalculated by a lower-level routine)
    and we could just pass in a dummy value (0). Now that the
    recalculation is being eliminated, the argument value being passed to
    send_packet() is significant and we have to supply the actual amount
    of data we want to send.

  • Adds checks to TIPC's socket send routines to promptly detect and
    abort attempts to send more than 66,000 bytes in a single TIPC
    message or more than 2**31-1 bytes in a single TIPC byte stream request.
    In addition, this ensures that the number of iovecs in a send request
    does not exceed the limits of a standard integer variable.

  • Enhances TIPC's socket receive routines to support iovec structures
    containing more than a single entry. This change leverages existing
    sk_buff routines to do most of the work; the only significant change
    to TIPC itself is that an sk_buff now records how much data has been
    already consumed as an numeric offset, rather than as a pointer to
    the first unread data byte.

  • As part of the removal of TIPC's native API support it is no longer
    necessary for TIPC to export symbols for routines that can be called
    by kernel-based applications, nor for it to have header files that
    kernel-based applications can include to access the declarations for
    those routines. This commit eliminates the exporting of symbols by
    TIPC and migrates the contents of each obsolete native API include
    file into its corresponding non-native API equivalent.

    The code which was migrated in this commit was migrated intact, in
    that there are no technical changes combined with the relocation.

    Change all read occurrences of sk_sleep by a call to this function.

  • …it slab.h inclusion from percpu.h

    percpu.h is included by sched.h and module.h and thus ends up being
    included when building most .c files. percpu.h includes slab.h which
    in turn includes gfp.h making everything defined by the two files
    universally available and complicating inclusion dependencies.

    percpu.h -> slab.h dependency is about to be removed. Prepare for
    this change by updating users of gfp and slab facilities include those
    headers directly instead of assuming availability. As this conversion
    needs to touch large number of source files, the following script is
    used as the basis of conversion.

    http://userweb.kernel.org/~tj/misc/slabh-sweep.py

    The script does the followings.

    * Scan files for gfp and slab usages and update includes such that
    only the necessary includes are there. ie. if only gfp is used,
    gfp.h, if slab is used, slab.h.

    * When the script inserts a new include, it looks at the include
    blocks and try to put the new include such that its order conforms
    to its surrounding. It's put in the include block which contains
    core kernel includes, in the same order that the rest are ordered -
    alphabetical, Christmas tree, rev-Xmas-tree or at the end if there
    doesn't seem to be any matching order.

    * If the script can't find a place to put a new include (mostly
    because the file doesn't have fitting include block), it prints out
    an error message indicating which .h file needs to be added to the
    file.

    The conversion was done in the following steps.

    1. The initial automatic conversion of all .c files updated slightly
    over 4000 files, deleting around 700 includes and adding ~480 gfp.h
    and ~3000 slab.h inclusions. The script emitted errors for ~400
    files.

    2. Each error was manually checked. Some didn't need the inclusion,
    some needed manual addition while adding it to implementation .h or
    embedding .c file was more appropriate for others. This step added
    inclusions to around 150 files.

    3. The script was run again and the output was compared to the edits
    from #2 to make sure no file was left behind.

    4. Several build tests were done and a couple of problems were fixed.
    e.g. lib/decompress_*.c used malloc/free() wrappers around slab
    APIs requiring slab.h to be added manually.

    5. The script was run on all .h files but without automatically
    editing them as sprinkling gfp.h and slab.h inclusions around .h
    files could easily lead to inclusion dependency hell. Most gfp.h
    inclusion directives were ignored as stuff from gfp.h was usually
    wildly available and often used in preprocessor macros. Each
    slab.h inclusion directive was examined and added manually as
    necessary.

    6. percpu.h was updated not to include slab.h.

    7. Build test were done on the following configurations and failures
    were fixed. CONFIG_GCOV_KERNEL was turned off for all tests (as my
    distributed build env didn't work with gcov compiles) and a few
    more options had to be turned off depending on archs to make things
    build (like ipr on powerpc/64 which failed due to missing writeq).

    * x86 and x86_64 UP and SMP allmodconfig and a custom test config.
    * powerpc and powerpc64 SMP allmodconfig
    * sparc and sparc64 SMP allmodconfig
    * ia64 SMP allmodconfig
    * s390 SMP allmodconfig
    * alpha SMP allmodconfig
    * um on x86_64 SMP allmodconfig

    8. percpu.h modifications were reverted so that it could be applied as
    a separate patch and serve as bisection point.

    Given the fact that I had only a couple of failures from tests on step
    6, I'm fairly confident about the coverage of this conversion patch.
    If there is a breakage, it's likely to be something in one of the arch
    headers which should be easily discoverable easily on most builds of
    the specific arch.

  • The generic __sock_create function has a kern argument which allows the
    security system to make decisions based on if a socket is being created by
    the kernel or by userspace. This patch passes that flag to the
    net_proto_family specific create function, so it can do the same thing.

  • This patch ensurs that accept() returns successfully even when
    the newly created socket is immediately disconnected by its peer.
    Previously, accept() would fail if it was unable to pass back
    the optional address info for the socket's peer before the
    socket became disconnected; TIPC now allows accept() to gather
    peer address information after disconnection. As a bonus, the
    revised code accesses the socket's port more efficiently, without
    the overhead incurred by a reference table lookup.

  • This patch eliminates an unneeded parameter when creating a low-level
    TIPC port object. Instead of returning both the pointer to the port
    structure and the port's reference ID, it now returns only the pointer
    since the port structure contains the reference ID as one of its fields.
