      tipc: update a binding service via broadcast · cad2929d
      Hoang Huu Le authored 
      

Currently, updating binding table (add service binding to
name table/withdraw a service binding) is being sent over replicast.
However, if we are scaling up clusters to > 100 nodes/containers this
method is less affection because of looping through nodes in a cluster one
by one.

It is worth to use broadcast to update a binding service. This way, the
binding table can be updated on all peer nodes in one shot.

Broadcast is used when all peer nodes, as indicated by a new capability
flag TIPC_NAMED_BCAST, support reception of this message type.

Four problems need to be considered when introducing this feature.
1) When establishing a link to a new peer node we still update this by a
unicast 'bulk' update. This may lead to race conditions, where a later
broadcast publication/withdrawal bypass the 'bulk', resulting in
disordered publications, or even that a withdrawal may arrive before the
corresponding publication. We solve this by adding an 'is_last_bulk' bit
in the last bulk messages so that it can be distinguished from all other
messages. Only when this message has arrived do we open up for reception
of broadcast publications/withdrawals.

2) When a first legacy node is added to the cluster all distribution
will switch over to use the legacy 'replicast' method, while the
opposite happens when the last legacy node leaves the cluster. This
entails another risk of message disordering that has to be handled. We
solve this by adding a sequence number to the broadcast/replicast
messages, so that disordering can be discovered and corrected. Note
however that we don't need to consider potential message loss or
duplication at this protocol level.

3) Bulk messages don't contain any sequence numbers, and will always
arrive in order. Hence we must exempt those from the sequence number
control and deliver them unconditionally. We solve this by adding a new
'is_bulk' bit in those messages so that they can be recognized.

4) Legacy messages, which don't contain any new bits or sequence
numbers, but neither can arrive out of order, also need to be exempt
from the initial synchronization and sequence number check, and
delivered unconditionally. Therefore, we add another 'is_not_legacy' bit
to all new messages so that those can be distinguished from legacy
messages and the latter delivered directly.

v1->v2:
 - fix warning issue reported by kbuild test robot <lkp@intel.com>
 - add santiy check to drop the publication message with a sequence
number that is lower than the agreed synch point

      Pull AFS fixes from David Howells:
 "I've managed to get xfstests kind of working with afs. Here are a set
  of patches that fix most of the bugs found.

  There are a number of primary issues:

   - Incorrect handling of mtime and non-handling of ctime. It might be
     argued, that the latter isn't a bug since the AFS protocol doesn't
     support ctime, but I should probably still update it locally.

   - Shared-write mmap, truncate and writeback bugs. This includes not
     changing i_size under the callback lock, overwriting local i_size
     with the reply from the server after a partial writeback, not
     limiting the writeback from an mmapped page to EOF.

   - Checks for an abort code indicating that the primary vnode in an
     operation was deleted by a third-party are done in the wrong place.

   - Silly rename bugs. This includes an incomplete conversion to the
     new operation handling, duplicate nlink handling, nlink changing
     not being done inside the callback lock and insufficient handling
     of third-party conflicting directory changes.

  And some secondary ones:

   - The UAEOVERFLOW abort code should map to EOVERFLOW not EREMOTEIO.

   - Remove a couple of unused or incompletely used bits.

   - Remove a couple of redundant success checks.

  These seem to fix all the data-corruption bugs found by

	./check -afs -g quick

  along with the obvious silly rename bugs and time bugs.

  There are still some test failures, but they seem to fall into two
  classes: firstly, the authentication/security model is different to
  the standard UNIX model and permission is arbitrated by the server and
  cached locally; and secondly, there are a number of features that AFS
  does not support (such as mknod). But in these cases, the tests
  themselves need to be adapted or skipped.

  Using the in-kernel afs client with xfstests also found a bug in the
  AuriStor AFS server that has been fixed for a future release"
