2014-05-14tipc: merge port message reception into socket reception functionJon Paul Maloy
In order to reduce complexity and save a call level during message reception at port/socket level, we remove the function tipc_port_rcv() and merge its functionality into tipc_sk_rcv().

2014-05-14tipc: compensate for double accounting in socket rcv bufferJon Paul Maloy
The function net/core/sock.c::__release_sock() runs a tight loop to move buffers from the socket backlog queue to the receive queue. As a security measure, sk_backlog.len of the receiving socket is not set to zero until after the loop is finished, i.e., until the whole backlog queue has been transferred to the receive queue. During this transfer, the data that has already been moved is counted both in the backlog queue and the receive queue, hence giving an incorrect picture of the available queue space for new arriving buffers. This leads to unnecessary rejection of buffers by sk_add_backlog(), which in TIPC leads to unnecessarily broken connections. In this commit, we compensate for this double accounting by adding a counter that keeps track of it. The function socket.c::backlog_rcv() receives buffers one by one from __release_sock(), and adds them to the socket receive queue. If the transfer is successful, it increases a new atomic counter 'tipc_sock::dupl_rcvcnt' with 'truesize' of the transferred buffer. If a new buffer arrives during this transfer and finds the socket busy (owned), we attempt to add it to the backlog. However, when sk_add_backlog() is called, we adjust the 'limit' parameter with the value of the new counter, so that the risk of inadvertent rejection is eliminated. It should be noted that this change does not invalidate the original purpose of zeroing 'sk_backlog.len' after the full transfer. We set an upper limit for dupl_rcvcnt, so that if a 'wild' sender (i.e., one that doesn't respect the send window) keeps pumping in buffers to sk_add_backlog(), he will eventually reach an upper limit, (2 x TIPC_CONN_OVERLOAD_LIMIT). After that, no messages can be added to the backlog, and the connection will be broken. Ordinary, well- behaved senders will never reach this buffer limit at all.

2014-03-12tipc: align usage of variable names and macros in socketJon Paul Maloy
The practice of naming variables in TIPC is inconistent, sometimes even within the same file. In this commit we align variable names and declarations within socket.c, and function and macro names within socket.h. We also reduce the number of conversion macros to two, in order to make usage less obsure. These changes are purely cosmetic.

2014-03-12tipc: eliminate upcall function pointers between port and socketJon Paul Maloy
Due to the original one-to-many relation between port and user API layers, upcalls to the API have been performed via function pointers, installed in struct tipc_port at creation. Since this relation now always is one-to-one, we can instead use ordinary function calls. We remove the function pointers 'dispatcher' and ´wakeup' from struct tipc_port, and replace them with calls to the renamed functions tipc_sk_rcv() and tipc_sk_wakeup(). At the same time we change the name and signature of the functions tipc_createport() and tipc_deleteport() to reflect their new role as mere initialization/destruction functions.

2014-03-12tipc: aggregate port structure into socket structureJon Paul Maloy
After the removal of the tipc native API the relation between a tipc_port and its API types is strictly one-to-one, i.e, the latter can now only be a socket API. There is therefore no need to allocate struct tipc_port and struct sock independently. In this commit, we aggregate struct tipc_port into struct tipc_sock, hence saving both CPU cycles and structure complexity. There are no functional changes in this commit, except for the elimination of the separate allocation/freeing of tipc_port. All other changes are just adaptatons to the new data structure. This commit also opens up for further code simplifications and code volume reduction, something we will do in later commits.
