tipc: support broadcast/replicast configurable for bc-link

2019-03-19T20:56:17Z

Currently, a multicast stream uses either broadcast or replicast as transmission method, based on the ratio between number of actual destinations nodes and cluster size. However, when an L2 interface (e.g., VXLAN) provides pseudo broadcast support, this becomes very inefficient, as it blindly replicates multicast packets to all cluster/subnet nodes, irrespective of whether they host actual target sockets or not. The TIPC multicast algorithm is able to distinguish real destination nodes from other nodes, and hence provides a smarter and more efficient method for transferring multicast messages than pseudo broadcast can do. Because of this, we now make it possible for users to force the broadcast link to permanently switch to using replicast, irrespective of which capabilities the bearer provides, or pretend to provide. Conversely, we also make it possible to force the broadcast link to always use true broadcast. While maybe less useful in deployed systems, this may at least be useful for testing the broadcast algorithm in small clusters. We retain the current AUTOSELECT ability, i.e., to let the broadcast link automatically select which algorithm to use, and to switch back and forth between broadcast and replicast as the ratio between destination node number and cluster size changes. This remains the default method. Furthermore, we make it possible to configure the threshold ratio for such switches. The default ratio is now set to 10%, down from 25% in the earlier implementation.

tipc: implement configuration of UDP media MTU

2018-04-20T15:04:05Z

In previous commit, we changed the default emulated MTU for UDP bearers to 14k. This commit adds the functionality to set/change the default value by configuring new MTU for UDP media. UDP bearer(s) have to be disabled and enabled back for the new MTU to take effect. Acked-by: Ying Xue Acked-by: Jon Maloy Signed-off-by: GhantaKrishnamurthy MohanKrishna Signed-off-by: David S.

tipc: add 128-bit node identifier

2018-03-23T17:12:18Z

We add a 128-bit node identity, as an alternative to the currently used 32-bit node address. For the sake of compatibility and to minimize message header changes we retain the existing 32-bit address field. When not set explicitly by the user, this field will be filled with a hash value generated from the much longer node identity, and be used as a shorthand value for the latter. We permit either the address or the identity to be set by configuration, but not both, so when the address value is set by a legacy user the corresponding 128-bit node identity is generated based on the that value.

tipc: step sk->sk_drops when rcv buffer is full

2018-03-22T18:43:37Z

Currently when tipc is unable to queue a received message on a socket, the message is rejected back to the sender with error TIPC_ERR_OVERLOAD. However, the application on this socket has no knowledge about these discards. In this commit, we try to step the sk_drops counter when tipc is unable to queue a received message. Export sk_drops using tipc socket diagnostics. Acked-by: Jon Maloy Acked-by: Ying Xue Signed-off-by: GhantaKrishnamurthy MohanKrishna Signed-off-by: Parthasarathy Bhuvaragan Signed-off-by: David S.

tipc: implement socket diagnostics for AF_TIPC

2018-03-22T18:43:35Z

This commit adds socket diagnostics capability for AF_TIPC in netlink family NETLINK_SOCK_DIAG in a new kernel module (diag.ko). The following are key design considerations: - config TIPC_DIAG has default y, like INET_DIAG. - only requests with flag NLM_F_DUMP is supported (dump all). - tipc_sock_diag_req message is introduced to send filter parameters. - the response attributes are of TLV, some nested. To avoid exposing data structures between diag and tipc modules and avoid code duplication, the following additions are required: - export tipc_nl_sk_walk function to reuse socket iterator. - export tipc_sk_fill_sock_diag to fill the tipc diag attributes. - create a sock_diag response message in __tipc_add_sock_diag defined in diag.c and use the above exported tipc_sk_fill_sock_diag to fill response.

License cleanup: add SPDX license identifier to uapi header files with a license

2017-11-02T10:20:11Z

Many user space API headers have licensing information, which is either incomplete, badly formatted or just a shorthand for referring to the license under which the file is supposed to be. This makes it hard for compliance tools to determine the correct license. Update these files with an SPDX license identifier. The identifier was chosen based on the license information in the file. GPL/LGPL licensed headers get the matching GPL/LGPL SPDX license identifier with the added 'WITH Linux-syscall-note' exception, which is the officially assigned exception identifier for the kernel syscall exception: NOTE! This copyright does *not* cover user programs that use kernel services by normal system calls - this is merely considered normal use of the kernel, and does *not* fall under the heading of "derived work". This exception makes it possible to include GPL headers into non GPL code, without confusing license compliance tools. Headers which have either explicit dual licensing or are just licensed under a non GPL license are updated with the corresponding SPDX identifier and the GPLv2 with syscall exception identifier. The format is: ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR SPDX-ID-OF-OTHER-LICENSE) SPDX license identifiers are a legally binding shorthand, which can be used instead of the full boiler plate text. The update does not remove existing license information as this has to be done on a case by case basis and the copyright holders might have to be consulted. This will happen in a separate step. This patch is based on work done by Thomas Gleixner and Kate Stewart and Philippe Ombredanne. See the previous patch in this series for the methodology of how this patch was researched.

tipc: add the ability to get UDP options via netlink

2016-08-27T04:38:41Z

Add UDP bearer options to netlink bearer get message. This is used by the tipc user space tool to display UDP options. The UDP bearer information is passed using either a sockaddr_in or sockaddr_in6 structs. This means the user space receiver should intermediately store the retrieved data in a large enough struct (sockaddr_strage) before casting to the proper IP version type.

tipc: introduce UDP replicast

2016-08-27T04:38:41Z

This patch introduces UDP replicast. A concept where we emulate multicast by sending multiple unicast messages to configured peers. The purpose of replicast is mainly to be able to use TIPC in cloud environments where IP multicast is disabled. Using replicas to unicast multicast messages is costly as we have to copy each skb and send the copies individually. Signed-off-by: Richard Alpe Reviewed-by: Jon Maloy Signed-off-by: David S. Miller
