<id>urn:sha1:9546a0b7ce0077d827470f603f2522b845ce5954</id>
<content type='text'>
The current 'tipc_wait_for_connect()' function does a wait-loop for the
condition 'sk-&gt;sk_state != TIPC_CONNECTING' to conclude if the socket
connecting has done. However, when the condition is met, it returns '0'
even in the case the connecting is actually failed, the socket state is
set to 'TIPC_DISCONNECTING' (e.g. when the server socket has closed..).
This results in a wrong return code for the 'connect()' call from user,
making it believe that the connection is established and go ahead with
building, sending a message, etc. but finally failed e.g. '-EPIPE'.

This commit fixes the issue by changing the wait condition to the
'tipc_sk_connected(sk)', so the function will return '0' only when the
connection is really established. Otherwise, either the socket 'sk_err'
if any or '-ETIMEDOUT'/'-EINTR' will be returned correspondingly.

<id>urn:sha1:49afb806cb650dd1f06f191994f3aa657d264009</id>
<content type='text'>
When a socket is suddenly shutdown or released, it will reject all the
unreceived messages in its receive queue. This applies to a connected
socket too, whereas there is only one 'FIN' message required to be sent
back to its peer in this case.

In case there are many messages in the queue and/or some connections
with such messages are shutdown at the same time, the link layer will
easily get overflowed at the 'TIPC_SYSTEM_IMPORTANCE' backlog level
because of the message rejections. As a result, the link will be taken
down. Moreover, immediately when the link is re-established, the socket
layer can continue to reject the messages and the same issue happens...

The commit refactors the '__tipc_shutdown()' function to only send one
'FIN' in the situation mentioned above. For the connectionless case, it
is unavoidable but usually there is no rejections for such socket
messages because they are 'dest-droppable' by default.

In addition, the new code makes the other socket states clear
(e.g.'TIPC_LISTEN') and treats as a separate case to avoid misbehaving.

<title>tipc: fix retrans failure due to wrong destination</title>

<id>urn:sha1:abc9b4e0549b93fdaff56e9532bc49a2d7b04955</id>
<content type='text'>
When a user message is sent, TIPC will check if the socket has faced a
congestion at link layer. If that happens, it will make a sleep to wait
for the congestion to disappear. This leaves a gap for other users to
take over the socket (e.g. multi threads) since the socket is released
as well. Also, in case of connectionless (e.g. SOCK_RDM), user is free
to send messages to various destinations (e.g. via 'sendto()'), then
the socket's preformatted header has to be updated correspondingly
prior to the actual payload message building.

Unfortunately, the latter action is done before the first action which
causes a condition issue that the destination of a certain message can
be modified incorrectly in the middle, leading to wrong destination
when that message is built. Consequently, when the message is sent to
the link layer, it gets stuck there forever because the peer node will
simply reject it. After a number of retransmission attempts, the link
is eventually taken down and the retransmission failure is reported.

This commit fixes the problem by rearranging the order of actions to
prevent the race condition from occurring, so the message building is
'atomic' and its header will not be modified by anyone.

<title>tipc: fix duplicate SYN messages under link congestion</title>

<id>urn:sha1:d34910e1751be79672db9cc61ca8892fbb4763f2</id>
<content type='text'>
Scenario:
1. A client socket initiates a SYN message to a listening socket.
2. The send link is congested, the SYN message is put in the
send link and a wakeup message is put in wakeup queue.
3. The congestion situation is abated, the wakeup message is
pulled out of the wakeup queue. Function tipc_sk_push_backlog()
is called to send out delayed messages by Nagle. However,
the client socket is still in CONNECTING state. So, it sends
the SYN message in the socket write queue to the listening socket
again.
4. The listening socket receives the first SYN message and creates
first server socket. The client socket receives ACK- and establishes
a connection to the first server socket. The client socket closes
its connection with the first server socket.
5. The listening socket receives the second SYN message and creates
second server socket. The second server socket sends ACK- to the
client socket, but it has been closed. It results in connection
reset error when reading from the server socket in user space.

Solution: return from function tipc_sk_push_backlog() immediately
if there is pending SYN message in the socket write queue.

This commit fixes it by converting that value from milliseconds

<content type='text'>
When tipc_sk_timeout() is executed but user space is grabbing
ownership, this function rearms itself and returns. However, the
socket reference counter is not reduced. This causes potential
unexpected behavior.

This commit fixes it by calling sock_put() before tipc_sk_timeout()
returns in the above-mentioned case.

When initiating a connection message to a server side, the connection
message is cloned and added to the socket write queue. However, if the
cloning is failed, only the socket write queue is purged. It causes
memory leak because the original connection message is not freed.

This commit fixes it by purging the list of connection message when
it cannot be cloned.

rhashtable_lookup_fast() internally calls rcu_read_lock() then,
calls rhashtable_lookup(). So if rcu_read_lock() is already held,
rhashtable_lookup() is enough.

The rest were (relatively) trivial in nature.

<title>tipc: add smart nagle feature</title>

<id>urn:sha1:c0bceb97db9efc72629dd00cd0d9812f24d4ba2d</id>
<content type='text'>
We introduce a feature that works like a combination of TCP_NAGLE and
TCP_CORK, but without some of the weaknesses of those. In particular,
we will not observe long delivery delays because of delayed acks, since
the algorithm itself decides if and when acks are to be sent from the
receiving peer.

- The nagle property as such is determined by manipulating a new
  'maxnagle' field in struct tipc_sock. If certain conditions are met,
  'maxnagle' will define max size of the messages which can be bundled.
  If it is set to zero no messages are ever bundled, implying that the
  nagle property is disabled.
- A socket with the nagle property enabled enters nagle mode when more
  than 4 messages have been sent out without receiving any data message
  from the peer.
- A socket leaves nagle mode whenever it receives a data message from
  the peer.

In nagle mode, messages smaller than 'maxnagle' are accumulated in the
socket write queue. The last buffer in the queue is marked with a new
'ack_required' bit, which forces the receiving peer to send a CONN_ACK
message back to the sender upon reception.

The accumulated contents of the write queue is transmitted when one of
the following events or conditions occur.

- A CONN_ACK message is received from the peer.
- A data message is received from the peer.
- A SOCK_WAKEUP pseudo message is received from the link level.
- The write queue contains more than 64 1k blocks of data.
- The connection is being shut down.
- There is no CONN_ACK message to expect. I.e., there is currently
  no outstanding message where the 'ack_required' bit was set. As a
  consequence, the first message added after we enter nagle mode
  is always sent directly with this bit set.

This new feature gives a 50-100% improvement of throughput for small
(i.e., less than MTU size) messages, while it might add up to one RTT
to latency time when the socket is in nagle mode.
