* tipc: remove files ref.h and ref.cJon Paul Maloy2014-08-231-56/+0
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The reference table is now 'socket aware' instead of being generic, and has in reality become a socket internal table. In order to be able to minimize the API exposed by the socket layer towards the rest of the stack, we now move the reference table definitions and functions into the file socket.c, and rename the functions accordingly. There are no functional changes in this commit.

* tipc: remove port_lockJon Paul Maloy2014-08-231-4/+11
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | In previous commits we have reduced usage of port_lock to a minimum, and complemented it with usage of bh_lock_sock() at the remaining locations. The purpose has been to remove this lock altogether, since it largely duplicates the role of bh_lock_sock. We are now ready to do this. However, we still need to protect the BH callers from inadvertent release of the socket while they hold a reference to it. We do this by replacing port_lock by a combination of a rw-lock protecting the reference table as such, and updating the socket reference counter while the socket is referenced from BH. This technique is more standard and comprehensible than the previous approach, and turns out to have a positive effect on overall performance.

* tipc: use registry when scanning socketsJon Paul Maloy2014-08-231-0/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The functions tipc_port_get_ports() and tipc_port_reinit() scan over all sockets/ports to access each of them. This is done by using a dedicated linked list, 'tipc_socks' where all sockets are members. The list is in turn protected by a spinlock, 'port_list_lock', while each socket is locked by using port_lock at the moment of access. In order to reduce complexity and risk of deadlock, we want to get rid of the linked list and the accompanying spinlock. This is what we do in this commit. Instead of the linked list, we use the port registry to scan across the sockets. We also add usage of bh_lock_sock() inside the scope of port_lock in both functions, as a preparation for the complete removal of port_lock. Finally, we move the functions from port.c to socket.c, and rename them to tipc_sk_sock_show() and tipc_sk_reinit() repectively.

* tipc: eliminate redundant lookups in registryJon Paul Maloy2014-03-121-1/+0
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | As an artefact from the native interface, the message sending functions in the port takes a port ref as first parameter, and then looks up in the registry to find the corresponding port pointer. This despite the fact that the only currently existing caller, tipc_sock, already knows this pointer. We change the signature of these functions to take a struct tipc_port* argument, and remove the redundant lookups. We also remove an unmotivated extra lookup in the function socket.c:auto_connect(), and, as the lookup functions tipc_port_deref() and ref_deref() now become unused, we remove these two functions.

* tipc: cleanup function namespacestephen hemminger2010-10-161-1/+0
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Do some cleanups of TIPC based on make namespacecheck 1. Don't export unused symbols 2. Eliminate dead code 3. Make functions and variables local 4. Rename buf_acquire to tipc_buf_acquire since it is used in several files Compile tested only. This make break out of tree kernel modules that depend on TIPC routines.

* [TIPC]: Remove inlining of reference table locking routinesAllan Stephens2008-04-171-85/+4
| | | | | | | | | | This patch converts the TIPC reference table locking routines into non-inlined routines, since they are mainly called from non-performance critical areas of TIPC and the added code footprint incurred through inlining can no longer be justified.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | Tried to run the new tipc stack through sparse. Following patch fixes all cases where 0 was used as replacement of NULL. Use NULL to document this is a pointer and to silence sparse. This brough sparse warning count down with 127 to 24 warnings.
