      tipc: introduce capability bit for broadcast synchronization · fd556f20
      Jon Paul Maloy authored 
      Until now, we have tried to support both the newer, dedicated broadcast
synchronization mechanism along with the older, less safe, RESET_MSG/
ACTIVATE_MSG based one. The latter method has turned out to be a hazard
in a highly dynamic cluster, so we find it safer to disable it completely
when we find that the former mechanism is supported by the peer node.

For this purpose, we now introduce a new capabability bit,
TIPC_BCAST_SYNCH, to inform any peer nodes that dedicated broadcast
syncronization is supported by the present node. The new bit is conveyed
between peers in the 'capabilities' field of neighbor discovery messages.

      tipc: let broadcast transmission use new link transmit function · 2f566124
      Jon Paul Maloy authored 
      This commit simplifies the broadcast link transmission function, by
leveraging previous changes to the link transmission function and the
broadcast transmission link life cycle.

      tipc: make struct tipc_link generic to support broadcast · c1ab3f1d
      Jon Paul Maloy authored 
      Realizing that unicast is just a special case of broadcast, we also see
that we can go in the other direction, i.e., that modest changes to the
current unicast link can make it generic enough to support broadcast.

The following changes are introduced here:

- A new counter ("ackers") in struct tipc_link, to indicate how many
  peers need to ack a packet before it can be released.
- A corresponding counter in the skb user area, to keep track of how
  many peers a are left to ack before a buffer can be released.
- A new counter ("acked"), to keep persistent track of how far a peer
  has acked at the moment, i.e., where in the transmission queue to
  start updating buffers when the next ack arrives. This is to avoid
  double acknowledgements from a peer, with inadvertent relase of
  packets as a result.
- A more generic tipc_link_retrans() function, where retransmit starts
  from a given sequence number, instead of the first packet in the
  transmision queue. This is to minimize the number of retransmitted
  packets on the broadcast media.

When the new functionality is taken into use in the next commits,
we expect it to have minimal effect on unicast mode performance.

      tipc: use explicit allocation of broadcast send link · 32301906
      Jon Paul Maloy authored 
      The broadcast link instance (struct tipc_link) used for sending is
currently aggregated into struct tipc_bclink. This means that we cannot
use the regular tipc_link_create() function for initiating the link, but
do instead have to initiate numerous fields directly from the
bcast_init() function.

We want to reduce dependencies between the broadcast functionality
and the inner workings of tipc_link. In this commit, we introduce
a new function tipc_bclink_create() to link.c, and allocate the
instance of the link separately using this function.

      tipc: make link implementation independent from struct tipc_bearer · 0e05498e
      Jon Paul Maloy authored 
      In reality, the link implementation is already independent from
struct tipc_bearer, in that it doesn't store any reference to it.
However, we still pass on a pointer to a bearer instance in the
function tipc_link_create(), just to have it extract some
initialization information from it.

I later commits, we need to create instances of tipc_link without
having any associated struct tipc_bearer. To facilitate this, we
want to extract the initialization data already in the creator
function in node.c, before calling tipc_link_create(), and pass
this info on as individual parameters in the call.

This commit introduces this change.

      tipc: create broadcast transmission link at namespace init · 5fd9fd63
      Jon Paul Maloy authored 
      The broadcast transmission link is currently instantiated when the
network subsystem is started, i.e., on order from user space via netlink.

This forces the broadcast transmission code to do unnecessary tests for
the existence of the transmission link, as well in single mode node as
in network mode.

In this commit, we do instead create the link during initialization of
the name space, and remove it when it is stopped. The fact that the
transmission link now has a guaranteed longer life cycle than any of its
potential clients paves the way for further code simplifcations
and optimizations.

      tipc: move broadcast link lock to struct tipc_net · 0043550b
      Jon Paul Maloy authored 
      The broadcast lock will need to be acquired outside bcast.c in a later
commit. For this reason, we move the lock to struct tipc_net. Consistent
with the changes in the previous commit, we also introducee two new
functions tipc_bcast_lock() and tipc_bcast_unlock(). The code that is
currently using tipc_bclink_lock()/unlock() will be phased out during
the coming commits in this series.

      tipc: move bcast definitions to bcast.c · 6beb19a6
      Jon Paul Maloy authored 
      Currently, a number of structure and function definitions related
to the broadcast functionality are unnecessarily exposed in the file
bcast.h. This obscures the fact that the external interface towards
the broadcast link in fact is very narrow, and causes unnecessary
recompilations of other files when anything changes in those
definitions.

In this commit, we move as many of those definitions as is currently
possible to the file bcast.c.

We also rename the structure 'tipc_bclink' to 'tipc_bc_base', both
since the name does not correctly describe the contents of this
struct, and will do so even less in the future, and because we want
to use the term 'link' more appropriately in the functionality
introduced later in this series.

Finally, we rename a couple of functions, such as tipc_bclink_xmit()
and others that will be kept in the future, to include the term 'bcast'
instead.

There are no functional changes in this commit.

The openvswitch conflicts were overlapping changes.  One was

The xfrm6_output.c conflicts was also a simplification
overlapping a bug fix.

several other changes it contains the rest of the fixes & cleanups from
the Bluetooth UnplugFest (that didn't need to be hurried to 4.3).

 - Refactoring & cleanups to 6lowpan code
 - New USB ids for two Atheros controllers and BCM43142A0 from Broadcom
 - Fix (quirk) for broken Broadcom BCM2045 controllers
 - Support for latest Apple controllers
 - Improvements to the vendor diagnostic message support

Please let me know if there are any issues pulling. Thanks.
