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.

Modifies code that disables a bearer to ensure that all of its links are deleted, not just its uncongested links.

Saves a socket's TIPC_CONN_TIMEOUT socket option value in its original form (milliseconds), rather than jiffies. This ensures that the exact value set using setsockopt() is always returned by getsockopt(), without being subject to rounding issues introduced by a ms->jiffies->ms conversion sequence.

Modifies TIPC's incoming broadcast packet handler to discard messages that cannot legally be sent over the broadcast link, including: - broadcast protocol messages that do no contain state information - payload messages that are not named multicast messages - any other form of message except for bundled messages, fragmented messages, and name distribution messages. These checks are needed to prevent TIPC from handing an unexpected message to a routine that isn't prepared to handle it, which could lead to incorrect processing (up to and including invalid memory references caused by attempts to access message fields that aren't present in the message).

Modifies TIPC's incoming broadcast packet handler to ensure that the node lock associated with the sender of the packet is held whenever node-related data structure fields are accessed. The routine is also restructured with a single exit point, making it easier to ensure the node lock is properly released and the incoming packet is properly disposed of.

Ensure that broadcast link messages that have not been acknowledged by a newly failed node do not get an implied acknowledgement until the failed node is removed from the broadcast link's map of reachable nodes. Previously, a race condition allowed a new broadcast link message to be sent after the implicit acknowledgement processing was completed, but before the map of reachable nodes was updated, resulting in the message having an expected acknowledgement count that required the failed node to explicitly acknowledge the message. Since this would never occur the new message would remain in the broadcast link's transmit queue forever, eventually causing the link to become congested and "stall". Delaying the implicit acknowledgement processing until after the update of the map of reachable nodes eliminates this race condition and prevents stalling.

Enhances cleanup of broadcast link-related information when contact with a node is lost. 1) All broadcast link-related cleanup now occurs only if the lost node was capable of communicating over the broadcast link. 2) Following cleanup, the lost node is marked as no longer supporting the broadcast link, ensuring that any remaining broadcast messages received from that node prior to the re-establishment of a normal communication link are ignored. Thanks to Surya [Suryanarayana.Garlapati@emerson.com] for contributing a prototype version of this patch.

Ensure TIPC ignores an out-dated link reset message whose session number predates the current session number. (Previously, TIPC only ignored an out-date reset message whose session number was equal to the current link session number.) Out-dated link reset messages should not occur under normal circumstances; however, they can be generated if a link endpoint is unable to send a link reset message right away and queues it for later delivery, but the queued message is not sent until after the link is established.

Eliminates code that increments and validates the re-route count field of payload messages, since the elimination of multi-cluster support means that it is no longer necessary for TIPC to forward incoming messages to another node. (The obsolete code was incorrect anyway, since it incorrectly incremented the re-route count field of messages that originated on the node that forwarded the message.)
