[net-next 1/2] tipc: optimize link synching mechanism

[Tuong Lien]

This commit along with the next one are to resolve the issues with the
link changeover mechanism. See that commit for details.

Basically, for the link synching, from now on, we will send only one
single ("dummy") SYNCH message to peer. The SYNCH message does not
contain any data, just a header conveying the synch point to the peer.

A new node capability flag ("TIPC_TUNNEL_ENHANCED") is introduced for
backward compatible!

[net-next 2/2] tipc: fix changeover issues due to large packet

[Tuong Lien]

In conjunction with changing the interfaces' MTU (e.g. especially in
the case of a bonding) where the TIPC links are brought up and down
in a short time, a couple of issues were detected with the current link
changeover mechanism:

1) When one link is up but immediately forced down again, the failover
procedure will be carried out in order to failover all the messages in
the link's transmq queue onto the other working link. The link and node
state is also set to FAILINGOVER as part of the process. The message
will be transmited in form of a FAILOVER_MSG, so its size is plus of 40
bytes (= the message header size). There is no problem if the original
message size is not larger than the link's MTU - 40, and indeed this is
the max size of a normal payload messages. However, in the situation
above, because the link has just been up, the messages in the link's
transmq are almost SYNCH_MSGs which had been generated by the link
synching procedure, then their size might reach the max value already!
When the FAILOVER_MSG is built on the top of such a SYNCH_MSG, its size
will exceed the link's MTU. As a result, the messages are dropped
silently and the failover procedure will never end up, the link will
not be able to exit the FAILINGOVER state, so cannot be re-established.

2) The same scenario above can happen more easily in case the MTU of
the links is set differently or when changing. In that case, as long as
a large message in the failure link's transmq queue was built and
fragmented with its link's MTU > the other link's one, the issue will
happen (there is no need of a link synching in advance).

3) The link synching procedure also faces with the same issue but since
the link synching is only started upon receipt of a SYNCH_MSG, dropping
the message will not result in a state deadlock, but it is not expected
as design.

The 1) & 3) issues are resolved by the last commit that only a dummy
SYNCH_MSG (i.e. without data) is generated at the link synching, so the
size of a FAILOVER_MSG if any then will never exceed the link's MTU.

For the 2) issue, the only solution is trying to fragment the messages
in the failure link's transmq queue according to the working link's MTU
so they can be failovered then. A new function is made to accomplish
this, it will still be a TUNNEL PROTOCOL/FAILOVER MSG but if the
original message size is too large, it will be fragmented & reassembled
at the receiving side.

Re: [net-next 0/2] tipc: link changeover issues

[David Miller]

net-next is closed right now, resubmit this when the tree opens back up.

[net-next 1/2] tipc: optimize link synching mechanism

[Tuong Lien]

This commit along with the next one are to resolve the issues with the
link changeover mechanism. See that commit for details.

Basically, for the link synching, from now on, we will send only one
single ("dummy") SYNCH message to peer. The SYNCH message does not
contain any data, just a header conveying the synch point to the peer.

A new node capability flag ("TIPC_TUNNEL_ENHANCED") is introduced for
backward compatible!
