      tipc: Enhance sending of bulk name table messages · 9aa88c2a
      Allan Stephens authored 
      Modifies the initial transfer of name table entries to a new neighboring
node so that the messages are enqueued as a unit, rather than individually.

The revised algorithm now locates the link carrying the message only once,
and eliminates unnecessary checks for link congestion, message fragmentation,
and message bundling that are not required when sending these messages.

      tipc: relocate/coalesce node cast in tipc_named_node_up · 1c553bb5
      Paul Gortmaker authored 
      Functions like this are called using unsigned longs from
function pointers.  In this case, the function is passed in
a node which is normally internally treated as a u32 by TIPC.

Rather than add more casts into this function in the future
for each added use of node within, move the cast to a single
place on a local.

      tipc: Prevent fragmented messages during initial name table exchange · 149ce37c
      Allan Stephens authored 
      Reduces the maximum size of messages sent during the initial exchange
of name table information between two nodes to be no larger than the
MTU of the first link established between the nodes. This ensures that
messages will never need to be fragmented, which would add unnecessary
overhead to the name table synchronization mechanism.

      tipc: Lower limits for number of bearers and media types · 909234cd
      Allan Stephens authored 
      Reduces the number of bearers a node can support to 2, which can use
identical or non-identical media. This change won't impact users,
since they are currently limited to a maximum of 2 Ethernet bearers,
and will save memory by eliminating a number of unused entries in
TIPC's media and bearer arrays.

      tipc: Remove redundant search when enabling bearer · 18abf0fb
      Allan Stephens authored 
      Removes obsolete code that searches for an Ethernet bearer structure entry
to use for a newly enabled bearer, since this search is now performed
at the start of the enabling algorithm.

      tipc: Fix unsafe device list search when enabling bearer · bcd326e8
      Allan Stephens authored 
      Ensures that the device list lock is held while trying to locate
the Ethernet device used by a newly enabled bearer, so that the
addition or removal of a device does not cause problems.

      tipc: Ensure both nodes recognize loss of contact between them · b4b56102
      Allan Stephens authored 
      Enhances TIPC to ensure that a node that loses contact with a
neighboring node does not allow contact to be re-established until
it sees that its peer has also recognized the loss of contact.

Previously, nodes that were connected by two or more links could
encounter a situation in which node A would lose contact with node B
on all of its links, purge its name table of names published by B,
and then fail to repopulate those names once contact with B was restored.
This would happen because B was able to re-establish one or more links
so quickly that it never reached a point where it had no links to A --
meaning that B never saw a loss of contact with A, and consequently
didn't re-publish its names to A.

This problem is now prevented by enhancing the cleanup done by TIPC
following a loss of contact with a neighboring node to ensure that
node A ignores all messages sent by B until it receives a LINK_PROTOCOL
message that indicates B has lost contact with A, thereby preventing
the (re)establishment of links between the nodes. The loss of contact
is recognized when a RESET or ACTIVATE message is received that has
a "redundant link exists" field of 0, indicating that B's sending link
endpoint is in a reset state and that B has no other working links.

Additionally, TIPC now suppresses the sending of (most) link protocol
messages to a neighboring node while it is cleaning up after an earlier
loss of contact with that node. This stops the peer node from prematurely
activating its link endpoint, which would prevent TIPC from later
activating its own end. TIPC still allows outgoing RESET messages to
occur during cleanup, to avoid problems if its own node recognizes
the loss of contact first and tries to notify the peer of the situation.

Finally, TIPC now recognizes an impending loss of contact with a peer node
as soon as it receives a RESET message on a working link that is the
peer's only link to the node, and ensures that the link protocol
suppression mentioned above goes into effect right away -- that is,
even before its own link endpoints have failed. This is necessary to
ensure correct operation when there are redundant links between the nodes,
since otherwise TIPC would send an ACTIVATE message upon receiving a RESET
on its first link and only begin suppressing when a RESET on its second
link was received, instead of initiating suppression with the first RESET
message as it needs to.

Note: The reworked cleanup code also eliminates a check that prevented
a link endpoint's discovery object from responding to incoming messages
while stale name table entries are being purged. This check is now
unnecessary and would have slowed down re-establishment of communication
between the nodes in some situations.
