In the function 'tipc_disc_rcv()', the 'msg_peer_net_hash()' is called
to read the header data field but after the message skb has been freed,
that might result in a garbage value...
This commit fixes it by defining a new local variable to store the data
first, just like the other header fields' handling.

When a user message is sent, TIPC will check if the socket has faced a
congestion at link layer. If that happens, it will make a sleep to wait
for the congestion to disappear. This leaves a gap for other users to
take over the socket (e.g. multi threads) since the socket is released
as well. Also, in case of connectionless (e.g. SOCK_RDM), user is free
to send messages to various destinations (e.g. via 'sendto()'), then
the socket's preformatted header has to be updated correspondingly
prior to the actual payload message building.
Unfortunately, the latter action is done before the first action which
causes a condition issue that the destination of a certain message can
be modified incorrectly in the middle, leading to wrong destination
when that message is built. Consequently, when the message is sent to
the link layer, it gets stuck there forever because the peer node will
simply reject it. After a number of retransmission attempts, the link
is eventually taken down and the retransmission failure is reported.
This commit fixes the problem by rearranging the order of actions to
prevent the race condition from occurring, so the message building is
'atomic' and its header will not be modified by anyone.

In commit c55c8edafa ("tipc: smooth change between replicast and
broadcast"), we allow instant switching between replicast and broadcast
by sending a dummy 'SYN' packet on the last used link to synchronize
packets on the links. The 'SYN' message is an object of link congestion
also, so if that happens, a 'SOCK_WAKEUP' will be scheduled to be sent
back to the socket...
However, in that commit, we simply use the same socket 'cong_link_cnt'
counter for both the 'SYN' & normal payload message sending. Therefore,
if both the replicast & broadcast links are congested, the counter will
be not updated correctly but overwritten by the latter congestion.
Later on, when the 'SOCK_WAKEUP' messages are processed, the counter is
reduced one by one and eventually overflowed. Consequently, further
activities on the socket will only wait for the false congestion signal
to disappear but never been met.
Because sending the 'SYN' message is vital for the mechanism, it should
be done anyway. This commit fixes the issue by marking the message with
an error code e.g. 'TIPC_ERR_NO_PORT', so its sending should not face a
link congestion, there is no need to touch the socket 'cong_link_cnt'
either. In addition, in the event of any error (e.g. -ENOBUFS), we will
purge the entire payload message queue and make a return immediately.

The current rbtree for service ranges in the name table is built based
on the 'lower' & 'upper' range values resulting in a flaw in the rbtree
searching. Some issues have been observed in case of range overlapping:
Case #1: unable to withdraw a name entry:
After some name services are bound, all of them are withdrawn by user
but one remains in the name table forever. This corrupts the table and
that service becomes dummy i.e. no real port.
E.g.
/
{22, 22}
/
/
---> {10, 50}
/ \
/ \
{10, 30} {20, 60}
The node {10, 30} cannot be removed since the rbtree searching stops at
the node's ancestor i.e. {10, 50}, so starting from it will never reach
the finding node.
Case #2: failed to send data in some cases:
E.g. Two service ranges: {20, 60}, {10, 50} are bound. The rbtree for
this service will be one of the two cases below depending on the order
of the bindings:
{20, 60} {10, 50} <--
/ \ / \
/ \ / \
{10, 50} NIL <-- NIL {20, 60}
(a) (b)
Now, try to send some data to service {30}, there will be two results:
(a): Failed, no route to host.
(b): Ok.
The reason is that the rbtree searching will stop at the pointing node
as shown above.
Case #3: Same as case #2b above but if the data sending's scope is
local and the {10, 50} is published by a peer node, then it will result
in 'no route to host' even though the other {20, 60} is for example on
the local node which should be able to get the data.
The issues are actually due to the way we built the rbtree. This commit
fixes it by introducing an additional field to each node - named 'max',
which is the largest 'upper' of that node subtree. The 'max' value for
each subtrees will be propagated correctly whenever a node is inserted/
removed or the tree is rebalanced by the augmented rbtree callbacks.
By this way, we can change the rbtree searching appoarch to solve the
issues above. Another benefit from this is that we can now improve the
searching for a next range matching e.g. in case of multicast, so get
rid of the unneeded looping over all nodes in the tree.

Scenario:
1. A client socket initiates a SYN message to a listening socket.
2. The send link is congested, the SYN message is put in the
send link and a wakeup message is put in wakeup queue.
3. The congestion situation is abated, the wakeup message is
pulled out of the wakeup queue. Function tipc_sk_push_backlog()
is called to send out delayed messages by Nagle. However,
the client socket is still in CONNECTING state. So, it sends
the SYN message in the socket write queue to the listening socket
again.
4. The listening socket receives the first SYN message and creates
first server socket. The client socket receives ACK- and establishes
a connection to the first server socket. The client socket closes
its connection with the first server socket.
5. The listening socket receives the second SYN message and creates
second server socket. The second server socket sends ACK- to the
client socket, but it has been closed. It results in connection
reset error when reading from the server socket in user space.
Solution: return from function tipc_sk_push_backlog() immediately
if there is pending SYN message in the socket write queue.

It is observed that TIPC service binding order will not be kept in the
publication event report to user if the service is subscribed after the
bindings.
For example, services are bound by application in the following order:
Server: bound port A to {18888,66,66} scope 2
Server: bound port A to {18888,33,33} scope 2
Now, if a client subscribes to the service range (e.g. {18888, 0-100}),
it will get the 'TIPC_PUBLISHED' events in that binding order only when
the subscription is started before the bindings.
Otherwise, if started after the bindings, the events will arrive in the
opposite order:
Client: received event for published {18888,33,33}
Client: received event for published {18888,66,66}
For the latter case, it is clear that the bindings have existed in the
name table already, so when reported, the events' order will follow the
order of the rbtree binding nodes (- a node with lesser 'lower'/'upper'
range value will be first).
This is correct as we provide the tracking on a specific service status
(available or not), not the relationship between multiple services.
However, some users expect to see the same order of arriving events
irrespective of when the subscription is issued. This turns out to be
easy to fix. We now add functionality to ensure that publication events
always are issued in the same temporal order as the corresponding
bindings were performed.
v2: replace the unnecessary macro - 'publication_after()' with inline
function.
v3: reuse 'time_after32()' instead of reinventing the same exact code.

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)
+-+ +-+

| IDLE |---------------->| PENDING |(user = 0)

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.

When user sets RX key for a peer not existing on the own node, a new
node entry is needed to which the RX key will be attached. However,
since the peer node address (& capabilities) is unknown at that moment,
only the node-ID is provided, this commit allows the creation of a node
with only the data that we call as “preliminary”.
A preliminary node is not the object of the “tipc_node_find()” but the
“tipc_node_find_by_id()”. Once the first message i.e. LINK_CONFIG comes
from that peer, and is successfully decrypted by the own node, the
actual peer node data will be properly updated and the node will
function as usual.
In addition, the node timer always starts when a node object is created
so if a preliminary node is not used, it will be cleaned up.
The later encryption functions will also use the node timer and be able
to create a preliminary node automatically when needed.

When preparing tunnel packets for the link failover or synchronization,
as for the safe algorithm, we added a dummy packet on the pair link but
never sent it out. In the case of failover, the pair link will be reset
anyway. But for link synching, it will always result in retransmission
of the dummy packet after that.
We have also observed that such the retransmission at the early stage
when a new node comes in a large cluster will take some time and hard
to be done, leading to the repeated retransmit failures and the link is
reset.
Since in commit 4929a932be ("tipc: optimize link synching mechanism")
we have already built a dummy 'TUNNEL_PROTOCOL' message on the new link
for the synchronization, there's no need for the dummy on the pair one,
this commit will skip it when the new mechanism takes in place. In case
nothing exists in the pair link's transmq, the link synching will just

As mentioned in commit e95584a889 ("tipc: fix unlimited bundling of
small messages"), the current message bundling algorithm is inefficient
that can generate bundles of only one payload message, that causes
unnecessary overheads for both the sender and receiver.
This commit re-designs the 'tipc_msg_make_bundle()' function (now named
as 'tipc_msg_try_bundle()'), so that when a message comes at the first
place, we will just check & keep a reference to it if the message is
suitable for bundling. The message buffer will be put into the link
backlog queue and processed as normal. Later on, when another one comes
we will make a bundle with the first message if possible and so on...
This way, a bundle if really needed will always consist of at least two
payload messages. Otherwise, we let the first buffer go its way without
any need of bundling, so reduce the overheads to zero.
Moreover, since now we have both the messages in hand, we can even
optimize the 'tipc_msg_bundle()' function, make bundle of a very large
(size ~ MSS) and small messages which is not with the current algorithm
e.g. [1400-byte message] + [10-byte message] (MTU = 1500).

We introduce a feature that works like a combination of TCP_NAGLE and
TCP_CORK, but without some of the weaknesses of those. In particular,
we will not observe long delivery delays because of delayed acks, since
the algorithm itself decides if and when acks are to be sent from the
receiving peer.
- The nagle property as such is determined by manipulating a new
'maxnagle' field in struct tipc_sock. If certain conditions are met,
'maxnagle' will define max size of the messages which can be bundled.
If it is set to zero no messages are ever bundled, implying that the
nagle property is disabled.
- A socket with the nagle property enabled enters nagle mode when more
than 4 messages have been sent out without receiving any data message
from the peer.
- A socket leaves nagle mode whenever it receives a data message from
the peer.
In nagle mode, messages smaller than 'maxnagle' are accumulated in the
socket write queue. The last buffer in the queue is marked with a new
'ack_required' bit, which forces the receiving peer to send a CONN_ACK
message back to the sender upon reception.
The accumulated contents of the write queue is transmitted when one of
the following events or conditions occur.
- A CONN_ACK message is received from the peer.
- A data message is received from the peer.
- A SOCK_WAKEUP pseudo message is received from the link level.
- The write queue contains more than 64 1k blocks of data.
- The connection is being shut down.
- There is no CONN_ACK message to expect. I.e., there is currently
no outstanding message where the 'ack_required' bit was set. As a
consequence, the first message added after we enter nagle mode
is always sent directly with this bit set.
This new feature gives a 50-100% improvement of throughput for small
(i.e., less than MTU size) messages, while it might add up to one RTT
to latency time when the socket is in nagle mode.

Currently, TIPC transports intra-node user data messages directly
socket to socket, hence shortcutting all the lower layers of the
communication stack. This gives TIPC very good intra node performance,
both regarding throughput and latency.
We now introduce a similar mechanism for TIPC data traffic across
network namespaces located in the same kernel. On the send path, the
call chain is as always accompanied by the sending node's network name
space pointer. However, once we have reliably established that the
receiving node is represented by a namespace on the same host, we just
replace the namespace pointer with the receiving node/namespace's
ditto, and follow the regular socket receive patch though the receiving
node. This technique gives us a throughput similar to the node internal
throughput, several times larger than if we let the traffic go though
the full network stacks. As a comparison, max throughput for 64k
messages is four times larger than TCP throughput for the same type of
traffic.
To meet any security concerns, the following should be noted.
- All nodes joining a cluster are supposed to have been be certified
and authenticated by mechanisms outside TIPC. This is no different for
nodes/namespaces on the same host; they have to auto discover each
other using the attached interfaces, and establish links which are
supervised via the regular link monitoring mechanism. Hence, a kernel
local node has no other way to join a cluster than any other node, and
have to obey to policies set in the IP or device layers of the stack.
- Only when a sender has established with 100% certainty that the peer
node is located in a kernel local namespace does it choose to let user
data messages, and only those, take the crossover path to the receiving
node/namespace.
- If the receiving node/namespace is removed, its namespace pointer
is invalidated at all peer nodes, and their neighbor link monitoring
will eventually note that this node is gone.
- To ensure the "100% certainty" criteria, and prevent any possible
spoofing, received discovery messages must contain a proof that the
sender knows a common secret. We use the hash mix of the sending
node/namespace for this purpose, since it can be accessed directly by
all other namespaces in the kernel. Upon reception of a discovery
message, the receiver checks this proof against all the local
namespaces'hash_mix:es. If it finds a match, that, along with a
matching node id and cluster id, this is deemed sufficient proof that
the peer node in question is in a local namespace, and a wormhole can
be opened.
- We should also consider that TIPC is intended to be a cluster local
IPC mechanism (just like e.g. UNIX sockets) rather than a network
protocol, and hence we think it can justified to allow it to shortcut the
lower protocol layers.
Regarding traceability, we should notice that since commit 6c9081a391
("tipc: add loopback device tracking") it is possible to follow the node
internal packet flow by just activating tcpdump on the loopback
interface. This will be true even for this mechanism; by activating
tcpdump on the involved nodes' loopback interfaces their inter-name
space messaging can easily be tracked.
v2:
- update 'net' pointer when node left/rejoined
v3:
- grab read/write lock when using node ref obj
v4:
- clone traffics between netns to loopback

sk_add_backlog() callers usually read sk->sk_rcvbuf without

be changed by other cpus, and KCSAN complains.
Add READ_ONCE() annotations to document the lockless nature

but this will be done in separate patches to ease stable

We have identified a problem with the "oversubscription" policy in the
link transmission code.
When small messages are transmitted, and the sending link has reached
the transmit window limit, those messages will be bundled and put into
the link backlog queue. However, bundles of data messages are counted
at the 'CRITICAL' level, so that the counter for that level, instead of
the counter for the real, bundled message's level is the one being
increased.
Subsequent, to-be-bundled data messages at non-CRITICAL levels continue
to be tested against the unchanged counter for their own level, while
contributing to an unrestrained increase at the CRITICAL backlog level.
This leaves a gap in congestion control algorithm for small messages
that can result in starvation for other users or a "real" CRITICAL
user. Even that eventually can lead to buffer exhaustion & link reset.
We fix this by keeping a 'target_bskb' buffer pointer at each levels,
then when bundling, we only bundle messages at the same importance
level only. This way, we know exactly how many slots a certain level
have occupied in the queue, so can manage level congestion accurately.
By bundling messages at the same level, we even have more benefits. Let
consider this:
- One socket sends 64-byte messages at the 'CRITICAL' level;
- Another sends 4096-byte messages at the 'LOW' level;
When a 64-byte message comes and is bundled the first time, we put the
overhead of message bundle to it (+ 40-byte header, data copy, etc.)
for later use, but the next message can be a 4096-byte one that cannot
be bundled to the previous one. This means the last bundle carries only
one payload message which is totally inefficient, as for the receiver
also! Later on, another 64-byte message comes, now we make a new bundle
and the same story repeats...
With the new bundling algorithm, this will not happen, the 64-byte
messages will be bundled together even when the 4096-byte message(s)
comes in between. However, if the 4096-byte messages are sent at the
same level i.e. 'CRITICAL', the bundling algorithm will again cause the
same overhead.
Also, the same will happen even with only one socket sending small
messages at a rate close to the link transmit's one, so that, when one
message is bundled, it's transmitted shortly. Then, another message
comes, a new bundle is created and so on...
We will solve this issue radically by another patch.

The policy for handling the skb list locks on the send and receive paths
is simple.
- On the send path we never need to grab the lock on the 'xmitq' list
when the destination is an exernal node.
- On the receive path we always need to grab the lock on the 'inputq'
list, irrespective of source node.
However, when transmitting node local messages those will eventually
end up on the receive path of a local socket, meaning that the argument
'xmitq' in tipc_node_xmit() will become the 'ínputq' argument in the
function tipc_sk_rcv(). This has been handled by always initializing
the spinlock of the 'xmitq' list at message creation, just in case it
may end up on the receive path later, and despite knowing that the lock
in most cases never will be used.
This approach is inaccurate and confusing, and has also concealed the
fact that the stated 'no lock grabbing' policy for the send path is
violated in some cases.
We now clean up this by never initializing the lock at message creation,
instead doing this at the moment we find that the message actually will
enter the receive path. At the same time we fix the four locations
where we incorrectly access the spinlock on the send/error path.
This patch also reverts commit d12cffe932 ("tipc: ensure head->lock
is initialised") which has now become redundant.

This commit eliminates the use of the link 'stale_limit' & 'prev_from'
(besides the already removed - 'stale_cnt') variables in the detection
of repeated retransmit failures as there is no proper way to initialize
them to avoid a false detection, i.e. it is not really a retransmission
failure but due to a garbage values in the variables.
Instead, a jiffies variable will be added to individual skbs (like the
way we restrict the skb retransmissions) in order to mark the first skb
retransmit time. Later on, at the next retransmissions, the timestamp
will be checked to see if the skb in the link transmq is "too stale",
that is, the link tolerance time has passed, so that a link reset will
be ordered. Note, just checking on the first skb in the queue is fine
enough since it must be the oldest one.
A counter is also added to keep track the actual skb retransmissions'
number for later checking when the failure happens.
The downside of this approach is that the skb->cb[] buffer is about to
be exhausted, however it is always able to allocate another memory area
and keep a reference to it when needed.

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.

- Procedure netif_rx_ni used to send cloned messages to loopback device.

In commit 365ad353c2 ("tipc: reduce risk of user starvation during
link congestion") we allowed senders to add exactly one list of extra
buffers to the link backlog queues during link congestion (aka
"oversubscription"). However, the criteria for when to stop adding
wakeup messages to the input queue when the overload abates is
inaccurate, and may cause starvation problems during very high load.
Currently, we stop adding wakeup messages after 10 total failed attempts
where we find that there is no space left in the backlog queue for a
certain importance level. The counter for this is accumulated across all
levels, which may lead the algorithm to leave the loop prematurely,
although there may still be plenty of space available at some levels.
The result is sometimes that messages near the wakeup queue tail are not
added to the input queue as they should be.
We now introduce a more exact algorithm, where we keep adding wakeup
messages to a level as long as the backlog queue has free slots for
the corresponding level, and stop at the moment there are no more such
slots or when there are no more wakeup messages to dequeue.

The commit started to reject TIPC netlink compat messages that do not
