[PATCH net-next 1/5] tipc: Enhance enabling and disabling of Ethernet bearers

[Paul Gortmaker]

From: Allan Stephens <allan.stephens@windriver.com>

Use work queue to eliminate release of TIPC's configuration lock when
registering for device notifications while activating Ethernet media
support. Optimize code that locates an unused bearer entry when enabling
an Ethernet bearer. Use work queue to break the association between a
newly disabled Ethernet bearer and its device driver, thereby allowing
quicker reuse of the bearer entry.

[PATCH net-next 3/5] tipc: Optimizations to bearer enabling logic

[Paul Gortmaker]

From: Allan Stephens <allan.stephens@windriver.com>

Introduces "enabling" state during activation of a new TIPC bearer,
which supplements the existing "disabled" and "enabled" states.
This change allows the new bearer to be added without having to
temporarily block the processing of incoming packets on existing
bearers during the binding of the new bearer to its associated
interface. It also makes it unnecessary to zero out the entire
bearer structure at the start of activation.

[PATCH net-next 4/5] tipc: Rework data structures that track neighboring nodes and links

[Paul Gortmaker]

From: Allan Stephens <allan.stephens@windriver.com>

Convert existing linked list of neighboring nodes to a standard
doubly-linked list. Add counters that track total number of nodes
in list and total number of links to these nodes, thereby allowing
configuration message replies to allocate only space based on
the actual number of nodes and links rather than the worst case.

[PATCH net-next 5/5] tipc: clean out all instances of #if 0'd unused code

[Paul Gortmaker]

Remove all instances of legacy, or as yet to be implemented code
that is currently living within an #if 0 ... #endif block.
In the rare instance that some of it be needed in the future,
it can still be dragged out of history, but there is no need
for it to sit in mainline.

Why is the work queue needed at all?  Looking at this path, the only entry to it
is from:
genl_rcv_msg
 handle_cmd
  tipc_cfg_do_cmd
   cfg_set_own_addr

That path looks to only be callable from a user space context, so sleeping on
the rtnl lock in when you call register_netdevice_notifier in eth_media_start
should be perfectly fine.  So you should just be able to remove the lock without
any additional work.  Does doing so cause other problems?

If you do really need a workqueue for this, you should move this to someplace
like tipc_enable_bearers, in the restart loop, so you only initalize it once.
That also reduces the chance of a race if multiple processes attempt to disable
this barrier in rapid succession.

This is racy.  Even though tipc_cfg_do_cmd holds the config_lock, so only one
context can execute this at a time. two requests that execute this code in rapid
succession can re-initalize the reg_notifier work_struct while its sitting on a
work queue, causing an oops if the workqueue task tries to dequeue this entry
while its getting re-initalized.  You need to move this to someplace like the
module_init routine.

Where does this now get set when executing a tipc_eth_media_stop?  Don't you
want to block access to all bearers immediately when you call this?

It seems like you're doing a good deal more in this patch than just disabling
all active bearers without doing a name search.  The description is implemented
in the for loop of tipc_bearer_stop.  Whats the rest of it for?

I get why you're removing the tipc_mode check above, but why are you adding it
here?  commit d0021b252eaf65ca07ed14f0d66425dd9ccab9a6 modified tipc_bearers so
that calling this function should be tipc_mode safe (i.e. looking for a bearer
prior to entering TIPC_NET_MODE will return a NULL result).  Did you find a
subsequent problem?

Why the 3rd state?  Doesn't seem needed.

NAK, this is completely broken.  You're casting tipc_node structure as
struct list_heads.  That basically makes the first 64 (or 128 bits on 64 bit
arches) act like a list_heads prev and next pointers.  So if you use node like a
list head, you're corrupting those first 64 or 128 bits.  If you modify
node->addr, node->lock, etc, you're corrupting your list pointers.  What you
want is an empty list head pointer defined somewhere to serve as the head of
your list, and to use the node_list member that you added to tipc_node to serve
as your list member in the use of list_add, list_del and list_for_each_entry
calls.

Thanks for all the reviews.  As I'd indicated a while back, I
am by far no TIPC expert, so it may take me a bit to digest
it and rework things on 1 --> 4. That will probably put them
into the "for-38" net-next timeframe, as I'm guessing net-next
that is destined for 2.6.37 will close in a day or two.

This cleanup patch (patch #5) doesn't explicitly depend on
the other 4 bearer related patches, so it can be applied
at whatever time is most convenient for Dave.

Paul.

No problem,  Most of what I identified I don't think is strictly a tipc related
issue, they're more just correct usage of various primitives (i.e. don't
initalize a work queue every time right before you schedule it), and use
list_add/list_del, instead of just munging data structures onto a list).  Most
looks pretty easy to correct I think.  Allan can probably help you out if tipc
specific knoweldge is needed.

I've added patch #5 to net-next-2.6, thanks.

[PATCH net-next] tipc: cleanup function namespace

[Stephen Hemminger]

Do some cleanups of TIPC based on make namespacecheck
  1. Don't export unused symbols
  2. Eliminate dead code
  3. Make functions and variables local
  4. Rename buf_acquire to tipc_buf_acquire since it is used in several files

Compile tested only.
This make break out of tree kernel modules that depend on TIPC routines.

Hi Stephen,

When I first started looking at TIPC code, I too came to the
same conclusion as you did and was about to do #1,2,3 -- but
then I was told that the exported symbols were part of an API
and might be in use by folks here and there as per this thread:

http://www.mail-archive.com/netdev@vger.kernel.org/msg30208.html

I'm generally the 1st one to agree that the kernel should not
be libc, and that exporting all sorts of functions without a
clearly defined use case so that one can insert all sorts of
brewed up modules is *not* the way to go -- and was asking if
we could phase this API out if nobody was using it:

http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/message.php?msg_name=29C1DC0826876849BDD9F1C67ABA294308C1FEB6%40ala-mail09.corp.ad.wrs.com

...but apparently there are a couple of API users out there.

I'd like to better understand their use case(es) and what parts
of this API they use, but I haven't got that far yet, since
there are a bunch of other TIPC bugfixes and changes queued on
sourceforge which need cleaning and integration into mainline.

I was thinking one idea would be to wrap them in a TIPC specific
Kconfig (off by default) so that it would at least highlight
this atypical use case for EXPORT_SYMBOL -- which might help
bring these users to the surface so we can learn about their
use cases.  Having it as a Kconfig option would also help in
giving us something to point our finger at for the feature
removal file, if indeed we could find a better way for these
users to get done whatever it is that they are doing.

In any event, I think your #2 (dead code) and #3 (add static)
are items considered dead or candidates for static because
of #1, i.e. tossing the API exports out.

I've already tossed out the explicitly dead code in #if 0
blocks -- Dave just merged that today.   But the #4 from your
list seems to make sense, and we can do that as a standalone
item of course.

Thanks,
Paul.

The kernel is does not have or support API's just for out
of tree code. Any code that needs the API should be submitted for
inclusion or risks getting broken at any time!

I think its telling the the argument in the above thread for keeping the API
were that users of it were out there and 'likely to contribute' in the future.
That thread was 3 years ago.  They might be using the API from outside the
kernel tree, but they're not planning on contributing.  As Christoph noted,
they're freeloaders.  The community really doesn't need or want to maintain an
API like that.  If these users are your customers, and removing the API is
unacceptable, perhaps its time to move the entire TIPC module out of tree.

As I'd said -- I don't know what the use cases of these API users are,
and so as far as I know they aren't customers either.  For what it is
worth, know that I personally wouldn't try and use a business case to
justify a technically wrong decision here on netdev anyway.

I was just describing the history of the situation, and suggesting
one possible slower approach of phasing it out as a courtesy to those
users, in the same way that the kernel community has extended that
same courtesy with other things in feature-removal.txt

In the end, since Jon is OK with the removal, and is in the process of
communicating this to the API users he is aware of, I sure don't have
any reason to try and save the API.  If folks are good with having it
just go away overnight, then great -- I'll be just as happy to see it
disappear as you and Stephen.  So, a long winded way of saying...

How about putting an entry in feature-removal.txt with a short (6 month)
window?

I think that is a very good idea. That would give the users a reasonable time
to find other solutions.

Subject: [PATCH] TIPC: Document the demise of the Native API for March 2011

The native API in the TIPC code exists as a bunch of functions
and exported symbols that aren't actually used by any currently
in-tree kernel code/modules.

Since this code is anomalous to the general guiding principle that
the kernel should not be libc, coverage tools and people intending
to do general cleanups keep finding this code and suggesting that
it be removed.

It seems the right thing to do is to just finally delete it once
and for all, after giving a reasonable window for any existing
users to find alternative solutions to their custom use case(s).

It seems the original needlessly bloated out the patch size by
swapping the order of tipc_bearer_find_interface & bearer_find
in the file (now fixed) - and you are right, the locking change
wasn't properly covered in the commit log.  The extra test you'd
suggested tossing out is also now gone.

This change doesn't explicitly depend on any other changes,
so if it is now OK, the option is there for it to be applied
independently of the others that haven't been reworked yet.

Thanks,
Paul.

Subject: [PATCH] tipc: Simplify bearer shutdown logic

Optimize processing in TIPC's bearer shutdown code, including:

1. Remove an unnecessary check to see if TIPC bearer's can exist.
2. Don't release spinlocks before calling a media-specific disabling
routine, since the routine can't sleep.
3. Make bearer_disable() operate directly on a struct bearer, instead
of needlessly taking a name and then mapping that to the struct.

I'm a bit disappointed in myself for also not noticing that it
was set but never tested for.  The following should give the
same end result but without the obfuscation of an extra state.

This one also doesn't explicitly depend on any other changes,
so if it is now OK, the option is there for it to be applied
independently of the others that haven't been reworked yet.

Thanks,
Paul.

Allow new bearers to be added without having to temporarily block
the processing of incoming packets on existing bearers during the
binding of the new bearer to its associated interface. Eliminates
zeroing out of the new bearer structure at the start of activation,
since it is already in that state.

This definately looks more concise, but I don't see why its necessecary to drop
the tipc_net_lock around the call to enable_bearer.  The only caler of
tipc_register_media sets the enable_bearer pointer to the enable_bearer
function, and  I' don't see any path through that function which would
potentially retake that lock.  In fact it seems dropping it might be dangerous,
if other paths (like from cfg_named_msg_event), tried to enable a bearer in
parallel with a user space directive from the netlink socket).  With out the
protection of tipc_net_lock, you could use the same eth_bearer twice, and
corrupt that array.

I think it would be protected by config_lock. but in the end if it is
just an academic optimization that really isn't in a hot code path
anyway, and if it just adds more confusion than real world value, then
I'm fine with just dropping this on the floor (and deleting the extra
memset in a cleanup patch) -- it won't be the 1st time doing this with
these carry forward patches, and I'm sure it won't be the last.

Thanks,
Paul.

I really think we can and should do this now, so I've
applied this to net-next-2.6

Eliminates zeroing out of the new bearer structure at the start of
