Currently, updating binding table (add service binding to
name table/withdraw a service binding) is being sent over replicast.
However, if we are scaling up clusters to > 100 nodes/containers this
method is less affection because of looping through nodes in a cluster one
by one.It is worth to use broadcast to update a binding service. This way, the
binding table can be updated on all peer nodes in one shot.Broadcast is used when all peer nodes, as indicated by a new capability
flag TIPC_NAMED_BCAST, support reception of this message type.Four problems need to be considered when introducing this feature.
1) When establishing a link to a new peer node we still update this by a
unicast 'bulk' update. This may lead to race conditions, where a later
broadcast publication/withdrawal bypass the 'bulk', resulting in
disordered publications, or even that a withdrawal may arrive before the
corresponding publication. We solve this by adding an 'is_last_bulk' bit
in the last bulk messages so that it can be distinguished from all other
messages. Only when this message has arrived do we open up for reception
of broadcast publications/withdrawals.2) When a first legacy node is added to the cluster all distribution
will switch over to use the legacy 'replicast' method, while the
opposite happens when the last legacy node leaves the cluster. This
entails another risk of message disordering that has to be handled. We
solve this by adding a sequence number to the broadcast/replicast
messages, so that disordering can be discovered and corrected. Note
however that we don't need to consider potential message loss or
duplication at this protocol level.3) Bulk messages don't contain any sequence numbers, and will always
arrive in order. Hence we must exempt those from the sequence number
control and deliver them unconditionally. We solve this by adding a new
'is_bulk' bit in those messages so that they can be recognized.4) Legacy messages, which don't contain any new bits or sequence
numbers, but neither can arrive out of order, also need to be exempt
from the initial synchronization and sequence number check, and
delivered unconditionally. Therefore, we add another 'is_not_legacy' bit
to all new messages so that those can be distinguished from legacy
messages and the latter delivered directly.v1->v2:

With the new RB tree structure for service ranges it becomes possible to
solve an old problem; - we can now allow overlapping service ranges in
the table.When inserting a new service range to the tree, we use 'lower' as primary
key, and when necessary 'upper' as secondary key.Since there may now be multiple service ranges matching an indicated
'lower' value, we must also add the 'upper' value to the functions
used for removing publications, so that the correct, corresponding
range item can be found.These changes guarantee that a well-formed publication/withdrawal item
from a peer node never will be rejected, and make it possible to
eliminate the problematic backlog functionality we currently have for
handling such cases.Signed-off-by: Jon Maloy

We rename some lists and fields in struct publication both to make
the naming more consistent and to better reflect their roles. We
also update the descriptions of those lists.node_list -> local_publ
cluster_list -> all_publ
pport_list -> binding_sock
ref -> portThere are no functional changes in this commit.

The file name_distr.c currently contains three functions,
named_cluster_distribute(), tipc_publ_subcscribe() and
tipc_publ_unsubscribe() that all directly access fields in
struct tipc_node. We want to eliminate such dependencies, so
we move those functions to the file node.c and rename them to
tipc_node_broadcast(), tipc_node_subscribe() and tipc_node_unsubscribe()
respectively.Reviewed-by: Ying Xue

TIPC handles message cardinality and sequencing at the link layer,
before passing messages upwards to the destination sockets. During the
upcall from link to socket no locks are held. It is therefore possible,
and we see it happen occasionally, that messages arriving in different
threads and delivered in sequence still bypass each other before they
reach the destination socket. This must not happen, since it violates
the sequentiality guarantee.We solve this by adding a new input buffer queue to the link structure.
Arriving messages are added safely to the tail of that queue by the
link, while the head of the queue is consumed, also safely, by the
receiving socket. Sequentiality is secured per socket by only allowing
buffers to be dequeued inside the socket lock. Since there may be multiple
simultaneous readers of the queue, we use a 'filter' parameter to reduce
the risk that they peek the same buffer from the queue, hence also
reducing the risk of contention on the receiving socket locks.This solves the sequentiality problem, and seems to cause no measurable
performance degradation.A nice side effect of this change is that lock handling in the functions
tipc_rcv() and tipc_bcast_rcv() now becomes uniform, something that
will enable future simplifications of those functions.Reviewed-by: Ying Xue

If net namespace is supported in tipc, each namespace will be treated
as a separate tipc node. Therefore, every namespace must own its
private tipc node address. This means the "tipc_own_addr" global
variable of node address must be moved to tipc_net structure to
satisfy the requirement. It's turned out that users also can assign
node address for every namespace.Signed-off-by: Ying Xue

TIPC name table is used to store the mapping relationship between
TIPC service name and socket port ID. When tipc supports namespace,
it allows users to publish service names only owned by a certain
namespace. Therefore, every namespace must have its private name
table to prevent service names published to one namespace from being
contaminated by other service names in another namespace. Therefore,
The name table global variable (ie, nametbl) and its lock must be
moved to tipc_net structure, and a parameter of namespace must be
added for necessary functions so that they can obtain name table
variable defined in tipc_net structure.Signed-off-by: Ying Xue

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

The node subscribe infrastructure represents a virtual base class, so
its users, such as struct tipc_port and struct publication, can derive
its implemented functionalities. However, after the removal of struct
tipc_port, struct publication is left as its only single user now. So
defining an abstract infrastructure for one user becomes no longer
reasonable. If corresponding new functions associated with the
infrastructure are moved to name_table.c file, the node subscription
infrastructure can be removed as well.Signed-off-by: Ying Xue

TIPC name table updates are distributed asynchronously in a cluster,
entailing a risk of certain race conditions. E.g., if two nodes
simultaneously issue conflicting (overlapping) publications, this may
not be detected until both publications have reached a third node, in
which case one of the publications will be silently dropped on that
node. Hence, we end up with an inconsistent name table.In most cases this conflict is just a temporary race, e.g., one
node is issuing a publication under the assumption that a previous,
conflicting, publication has already been withdrawn by the other node.
However, because of the (rtt related) distributed update delay, this
may not yet hold true on all nodes. The symptom of this failure is a
syslog message: "tipc: Cannot publish {%u,%u,%u}, overlap error".In this commit we add a resiliency queue at the receiving end of
the name table distributor. When insertion of an arriving publication
fails, we retain it in this queue for a short amount of time, assuming
that another update will arrive very soon and clear the conflict. If so
happens, we insert the publication, otherwise we drop it.The (configurable) retention value defaults to 2000 ms. Knowing from
experience that the situation described above is extremely rare, there
is no risk that the queue will accumulate any large number of items.Signed-off-by: Erik Hugne

In a previous commit series ("tipc: new unicast transmission code")
we introduced a new message sending function, tipc_link_xmit2(),
and moved the unicast data users over to use that function. We now
let the internal name table distributor do the same.The interaction between the name distributor and the node/link
layer also becomes significantly simpler, so we can eliminate
the function tipc_link_names_xmit().Signed-off-by: Jon Maloy
