* tipc: Remove unused function declarationsYue Haibing2023-08-031-2/+0
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Commit d50ccc2d3909 ("tipc: add 128-bit node identifier") declared but never implemented tipc_node_id2hash(). Also commit 5c216e1d28c8 ("tipc: Allow run-time alteration of default link settings") never implemented tipc_media_set_priority() and tipc_media_set_window(), commit cad2929dc432 ("tipc: update a binding service via broadcast") only declared tipc_named_bcast(). Since commit be07f056396d ("tipc: simplify the finalize work queue") tipc_sched_net_finalize() is removed and declaration is unused.

* tipc: delete tipc_mtu_bad from tipc_udp_enableXin Long2023-05-311-2/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Since commit a4dfa72d0acd ("tipc: set default MTU for UDP media"), it's been no longer using dev->mtu for b->mtu, and the issue described in commit 3de81b758853 ("tipc: check minimum bearer MTU") doesn't exist in UDP bearer any more. Besides, dev->mtu can still be changed to a too small mtu after the UDP bearer is created even with tipc_mtu_bad() check in tipc_udp_enable(). Note that NETDEV_CHANGEMTU event processing in tipc_l2_device_event() doesn't really work for UDP bearer. So this patch deletes the unnecessary tipc_mtu_bad from tipc_udp_enable.

* tipc: introduce variable window congestion controlJon Maloy2019-12-111-2/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | We introduce a simple variable window congestion control for links. The algorithm is inspired by the Reno algorithm, covering both 'slow start', 'congestion avoidance', and 'fast recovery' modes. - We introduce hard lower and upper window limits per link, still different and configurable per bearer type. - We introduce a 'slow start theshold' variable, initially set to the maximum window size. - We let a link start at the minimum congestion window, i.e. in slow start mode, and then let is grow rapidly (+1 per rceived ACK) until it reaches the slow start threshold and enters congestion avoidance mode. - In congestion avoidance mode we increment the congestion window for each window-size number of acked packets, up to a possible maximum equal to the configured maximum window. - For each non-duplicate NACK received, we drop back to fast recovery mode, by setting the both the slow start threshold to and the congestion window to (current_congestion_window / 2). - If the timeout handler finds that the transmit queue has not moved since the previous timeout, it drops the link back to slow start and forces a probe containing the last sent sequence number to the sent to the peer, so that this can discover the stale situation. This change does in reality have effect only on unicast ethernet transport, as we have seen that there is no room whatsoever for increasing the window max size for the UDP bearer. For now, we also choose to keep the limits for the broadcast link unchanged and equal. This algorithm seems to give a 50-100% throughput improvement for messages larger than MTU.

* tipc: introduce TIPC encryption & authenticationTuong Lien2019-11-081-1/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This commit offers an option to encrypt and authenticate all messaging, including the neighbor discovery messages. The currently most advanced algorithm supported is the AEAD AES-GCM (like IPSec or TLS). All encryption/decryption is done at the bearer layer, just before leaving or after entering TIPC. Supported features: - Encryption & authentication of all TIPC messages (header + data); - Two symmetric-key modes: Cluster and Per-node; - Automatic key switching; - Key-expired revoking (sequence number wrapped); - Lock-free encryption/decryption (RCU); - Asynchronous crypto, Intel AES-NI supported; - Multiple cipher transforms; - Logs & statistics; Two key modes: - Cluster key mode: One single key is used for both TX & RX in all nodes in the cluster. - Per-node key mode: Each nodes in the cluster has one specific TX key. For RX, a node requires its peers' TX key to be able to decrypt the messages from those peers. Key setting from user-space is performed via netlink by a user program (e.g. the iproute2 'tipc' tool). Internal key state machine: Attach Align(RX) +-+ +-+ | V | V +---------+ Attach +---------+ | IDLE |---------------->| PENDING |(user = 0) +---------+ +---------+ A A Switch| A | | | | | | Free(switch/revoked) | | (Free)| +----------------------+ | |Timeout | (TX) | | |(RX) | | | | | | v | +---------+ Switch +---------+ | PASSIVE |<----------------| ACTIVE | +---------+ (RX) +---------+ (user = 1) (user >= 1) The number of TFMs is 10 by default and can be changed via the procfs 'net/tipc/max_tfms'. At this moment, as for simplicity, this file is also used to print the crypto statistics at runtime: echo 0xfff1 > /proc/sys/net/tipc/max_tfms The patch defines a new TIPC version (v7) for the encryption message (- backward compatibility as well). The message is basically encapsulated as follows: +----------------------------------------------------------+ | TIPCv7 encryption | Original TIPCv2 | Authentication | | header | packet (encrypted) | Tag | +----------------------------------------------------------+ The throughput is about ~40% for small messages (compared with non- encryption) and ~9% for large messages. With the support from hardware crypto i.e. the Intel AES-NI CPU instructions, the throughput increases upto ~85% for small messages and ~55% for large messages. By default, the new feature is inactive (i.e. no encryption) until user sets a key for TIPC. There is however also a new option - "TIPC_CRYPTO" in the kernel configuration to enable/disable the new code when needed.

* tipc: add loopback device trackingJohn Rutherford2019-08-091-0/+10
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Since node internal messages are passed directly to the socket, it is not possible to observe those messages via tcpdump or wireshark. We now remedy this by making it possible to clone such messages and send the clones to the loopback interface. The clones are dropped at reception and have no functional role except making the traffic visible. The feature is enabled if network taps are active for the loopback device. pcap filtering restrictions require the messages to be presented to the receiving side of the loopback device. v3 - Function dev_nit_active used to check for network taps. - Procedure netif_rx_ni used to send cloned messages to loopback device.

* tipc: enable tracepoints in tipcTuong Lien2018-12-191-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | As for the sake of debugging/tracing, the commit enables tracepoints in TIPC along with some general trace_events as shown below. It also defines some 'tipc_*_dump()' functions that allow to dump TIPC object data whenever needed, that is, for general debug purposes, ie. not just for the trace_events. The following trace_events are now available: - trace_tipc_skb_dump(): allows to trace and dump TIPC msg & skb data, e.g. message type, user, droppable, skb truesize, cloned skb, etc. - trace_tipc_list_dump(): allows to trace and dump any TIPC buffers or queues, e.g. TIPC link transmq, socket receive queue, etc. - trace_tipc_sk_dump(): allows to trace and dump TIPC socket data, e.g. sk state, sk type, connection type, rmem_alloc, socket queues, etc. - trace_tipc_link_dump(): allows to trace and dump TIPC link data, e.g. link state, silent_intv_cnt, gap, bc_gap, link queues, etc. - trace_tipc_node_dump(): allows to trace and dump TIPC node data, e.g. node state, active links, capabilities, link entries, etc. How to use: Put the trace functions at any places where we want to dump TIPC data or events. Note: a) The dump functions will generate raw data only, that is, to offload the trace event's processing, it can require a tool or script to parse the data but this should be simple. b) The trace_tipc_*_dump() should be reserved for a failure cases only (e.g. the retransmission failure case) or where we do not expect to happen too often, then we can consider enabling these events by default since they will almost not take any effects under normal conditions, but once the rare condition or failure occurs, we get the dumped data fully for post-analysis. For other trace purposes, we can reuse these trace classes as template but different events. c) A trace_event is only effective when we enable it. To enable the TIPC trace_events, echo 1 to 'enable' files in the events/tipc/ directory in the 'debugfs' file system. Normally, they are located at: /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/tipc/ For example: To enable the tipc_link_dump event: echo 1 > /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/tipc/tipc_link_dump/enable To enable all the TIPC trace_events: echo 1 > /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/tipc/enable To collect the trace data: cat trace or cat trace_pipe > /trace.out & To disable all the TIPC trace_events: echo 0 > /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/tipc/enable To clear the trace buffer: echo > trace d) Like the other trace_events, the feature like 'filter' or 'trigger' is also usable for the tipc trace_events.

* | tipc: don't reset stale broadcast send linkJon Paul Maloy2017-08-211-1/+0
|/ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When the broadcast send link after 100 attempts has failed to transfer a packet to all peers, we consider it stale, and reset it. Thereafter it needs to re-synchronize with the peers, something currently done by just resetting and re-establishing all links to all peers. This has turned out to be overkill, with potentially unwanted consequences for the remaining cluster. A closer analysis reveals that this can be done much simpler. When this kind of failure happens, for reasons that may lie outside the TIPC protocol, it is typically only one peer which is failing to receive and acknowledge packets. It is hence sufficient to identify and reset the links only to that peer to resolve the situation, without having to reset the broadcast link at all. This solution entails a much lower risk of negative consequences for the own node as well as for the overall cluster. We implement this change in this commit.

As anyone can set device MTU in a user/net namespace, this issue can be abused by a regular user. As agreed in the discussion on Ben Hutchings' original patch, we should check the MTU at the moment a bearer is attached rather than for each processed packet. We also need to repeat the check when bearer MTU is adjusted to new device MTU. UDP case also needs a check to avoid overflow when calculating bearer MTU.

* tipc: make bearer packet filtering genericJon Paul Maloy2016-08-191-0/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | In commit 5b7066c3dd24 ("tipc: stricter filtering of packets in bearer layer") we introduced a method of filtering out messages while a bearer is being reset, to avoid that links may be re-created and come back in working state while we are still in the process of shutting them down. This solution works well, but is limited to only work with L2 media, which is insufficient with the increasing use of UDP as carrier media. We now replace this solution with a more generic one, by introducing a new flag "up" in the generic struct tipc_bearer. This field will be set and reset at the same locations as with the previous solution, while the packet filtering is moved to the generic code for the sending side. On the receiving side, the filtering is still done in media specific code, but now including the UDP bearer.

* | tipc: add neighbor monitoring frameworkJon Paul Maloy2016-06-151-1/+1

Those links are expected to provide a short failure detection time, by default set to 1500 ms. Because of this, the background load for neighbor monitoring in an N-node cluster increases with a factor N on each node, while the overall monitoring traffic through the network infrastructure increases at a ~(N * (N - 1)) rate. Experience has shown that such clusters don't scale well beyond ~100 nodes unless we significantly increase failure discovery tolerance. This commit introduces a framework and an algorithm that drastically reduces this background load, while basically maintaining the original failure detection times across the whole cluster. Using this algorithm, background load will now grow at a rate of ~(2 * sqrt(N)) per node, and at ~(2 * N * sqrt(N)) in traffic overhead. As an example, each node will now have to actively monitor 38 neighbors in a 400-node cluster, instead of as before 399. This "Overlapping Ring Supervision Algorithm" is completely distributed and employs no centralized or coordinated state. It goes as follows: - Each node makes up a linearly ascending, circular list of all its N known neighbors, based on their TIPC node identity. This algorithm must be the same on all nodes. - The node then selects the next M = sqrt(N) - 1 nodes downstream from itself in the list, and chooses to actively monitor those. This is called its "local monitoring domain". - It creates a domain record describing the monitoring domain, and piggy-backs this in the data area of all neighbor monitoring messages (LINK_PROTOCOL/STATE) leaving that node. This means that all nodes in the cluster eventually (default within 400 ms) will learn about its monitoring domain. - Whenever a node discovers a change in its local domain, e.g., a node has been added or has gone down, it creates and sends out a new version of its node record to inform all neighbors about the change. - A node receiving a domain record from anybody outside its local domain matches this against its own list (which may not look the same), and chooses to not actively monitor those members of the received domain record that are also present in its own list. Instead, it relies on indications from the direct monitoring nodes if an indirectly monitored node has gone up or down. If a node is indicated lost, the receiving node temporarily activates its own direct monitoring towards that node in order to confirm, or not, that it is actually gone. - Since each node is actively monitoring sqrt(N) downstream neighbors, each node is also actively monitored by the same number of upstream neighbors. This means that all non-direct monitoring nodes normally will receive sqrt(N) indications that a node is gone. - A major drawback with ring monitoring is how it handles failures that cause massive network partitionings. If both a lost node and all its direct monitoring neighbors are inside the lost partition, the nodes in the remaining partition will never receive indications about the loss. To overcome this, each node also chooses to actively monitor some nodes outside its local domain. Those nodes are called remote domain "heads", and are selected in such a way that no node in the cluster will be more than two direct monitoring hops away. Because of this, each node, apart from monitoring the member of its local domain, will also typically monitor sqrt(N) remote head nodes. - As an optimization, local list status, domain status and domain records are marked with a generation number. This saves senders from unnecessarily conveying unaltered domain records, and receivers from performing unneeded re-adaptations of their node monitoring list, such as re-assigning domain heads. - As a measure of caution we have added the possibility to disable the new algorithm through configuration. We do this by keeping a threshold value for the cluster size; a cluster that grows beyond this value will switch from full-mesh to ring monitoring, and vice versa when it shrinks below the value. This means that if the threshold is set to a value larger than any anticipated cluster size (default size is 32) the new algorithm is effectively disabled. A patch set for altering the threshold value and for listing the table contents will follow shortly. - This change is fully backwards compatible.

* tipc: simplify bearer level broadcastJon Paul Maloy2015-10-241-0/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Until now, we have been keeping track of the exact set of broadcast destinations though the help structure tipc_node_map. This leads us to have to maintain a whole infrastructure for supporting this, including a pseudo-bearer and a number of functions to manipulate both the bearers and the node map correctly. Apart from the complexity, this approach is also limiting, as struct tipc_node_map only can support cluster local broadcast if we want to avoid it becoming excessively large. We want to eliminate this limitation, in order to enable introduction of scoped multicast in the future. A closer analysis reveals that it is unnecessary maintaining this "full set" overview; it is sufficient to keep a counter per bearer, indicating how many nodes can be reached via this bearer at the moment. The protocol is now robust enough to handle transitional discrepancies between the nominal number of reachable destinations, as expected by the broadcast protocol itself, and the number which is actually reachable at the moment. The initial broadcast synchronization, in conjunction with the retransmission mechanism, ensures that all packets will eventually be acknowledged by the correct set of destinations. This commit introduces these changes. Signed-off-by: Jon Maloy <jon.maloy@ericsson.com> Reviewed-by: Ying Xue <ying.xue@windriver.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
* tipc: make media xmit call outside node spinlock contextJon Paul Maloy2015-07-211-0/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Currently, message sending is performed through a deep call chain, where the node spinlock is grabbed and held during a significant part of the transmission time. This is clearly detrimental to overall throughput performance; it would be better if we could send the message after the spinlock has been released. In this commit, we do instead let the call revert on the stack after the buffer chain has been added to the transmission queue, whereafter clones of the buffers are transmitted to the device layer outside the spinlock scope. As a further step in our effort to separate the roles of the node and link entities we also move the function tipc_link_xmit() to node.c, and rename it to tipc_node_xmit().

* tipc: simplify include dependenciesJon Paul Maloy2015-05-141-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When we try to add new inline functions in the code, we sometimes run into circular include dependencies. The main problem is that the file core.h, which really should be at the root of the dependency chain, instead is a leaf. I.e., core.h includes a number of header files that themselves should be allowed to include core.h. In reality this is unnecessary, because core.h does not need to know the full signature of any of the structs it refers to, only their type declaration. In this commit, we remove all dependencies from core.h towards any other tipc header file. As a consequence of this change, we can now move the function tipc_own_addr(net) from addr.c to addr.h, and make it inline. There are no functional changes in this commit.
