Joe Perches e3192690a3 net: Remove casts to same type
Adding casts of objects to the same type is unnecessary
and confusing for a human reader.

For example, this cast:

	int y;
	int *p = (int *)&y;

I used the coccinelle script below to find and remove these
unnecessary casts.  I manually removed the conversions this
script produces of casts with __force and __user.

@@
type T;
T *p;
@@

-	(T *)p
+	p

Paul Gortmaker 617d3c7a50 tipc: compress out gratuitous extra carriage returns
Some of the comment blocks are floating in limbo between two
functions, or between blocks of code.  Delete the extra line
feeds between any comment and its associated following block
of code, to be consistent with the majority of the rest of
the kernel.  Also delete trailing newlines at EOF and fix
a couple trivial typos in existing comments.

This is a 100% cosmetic change with no runtime impact.  We get
rid of over 500 lines of non-code, and being blank line deletes,
they won't even show up as noise in git blame.

Allan Stephens aad585473f tipc: Reject payload messages with invalid message type
Adds check to ensure TIPC sockets reject incoming payload messages
that have an unrecognized message type.

Remove the old open question about whether TIPC_ERR_NO_PORT is
the proper return value.  It is appropriate here since there are
valid instances where another node can make use of the reply,
and at this point in time the host is already broadcasting TIPC
data, so there are no real security concerns.

Allan Stephens 8f17789693 tipc: Enhance error checking of published names
Consolidates validation of scope and name sequence range values into
a single routine where it applies both to local name publications
and to name publications issued by other nodes in the network. This
change means that the scope value for non-local publications is now
validated and the name sequence range for local publications is now
validated only once. Additionally, a publication attempt that fails
validation now creates an entry in the system log file only if debugging
capabilities have been enabled; this prevents the system log from being
cluttered up with messages caused by a defective application or network
node.

Allan Stephens eb3865a99d tipc: Enhance re-initialization of network topology service
Streamlines the job of re-initializing TIPC's network topology service
when a node's network address is first assigned. Rather than destroying
the topology server port and breaking its connections to existing
subscribers, TIPC now simply lets the service continue running (since
the change to the port identifier of each port used by the topology
service no longer impacts the flow of messages between the service and
its subscribers).

This enhancement means that applications that utilize the topology
service prior to the assignment of TIPC's network address no longer need
to re-establish their subscriptions when the address is finally assigned.

However, it is worth noting that any subsequent events for existing
subscriptions report the new port identifier of the publishing port,
rather than the original port identifier. (For example, a name that was
previously reported as being published by <0.0.0:ref> may be subsequently
withdrawn by <Z.C.N:ref>.)

This doesn't impact any of the existing known userspace in tipc-utils,
since (a) TIPC continues to treat references to the original port ID
correctly and (b) normal use cases assign an address before active use.

However if there does happen to be some rare/custom application out
there that was relying on this, they can simply bypass the enhancement
by issuing a subscription to {0,0} and break its connection to the
topology service, if an associated withdrawal event occurs.

Allan Stephens f0712e86b7 tipc: Ensure network address change doesn't impact local connections
Revises routines that deal with connections between two ports on
the same node to ensure the connection is not impacted if the node's
network address is changed in mid-operation. The routines now treat
the default node address of <0.0.0> as an alias for "this node" in
the following situations:

1) Incoming messages destined to a connected port now handle the alias
properly when validating that the message was sent by the expected
peer port, ensuring that the message will be accepted regardless of
whether it specifies the node's old network address or it's current one.

2) The code which completes connection establishment now handles the
alias properly when determining if the peer port is on the same node
as the connected port.

An added benefit of addressing issue 1) is that some peer port
validation code has been relocated to TIPC's socket subsystem, which
means that validation is no longer done twice when a message is
sent to a non-socket port (such as TIPC's configuration service or
network topology service).

The inclusion of node scope name publications in a conventional publication
list means that they must now also be withdrawn, just like cluster and zone
scope publications are currently withdrawn.  So some conditional tests on
scope ==/!= TIPC_NODE_SCOPE are inserted/removed accordingly.

Streamlines the logic that prevents an application from binding a
reserved TIPC name type to a port by moving the check to the code
that handles a socket bind() operation. This allows internal TIPC
subsystems to bind a reserved name without having to set an atomic
flag to gain permission to use such a name. (This simplification is
now possible due to the elimination of support for TIPC's native API.)

Allan Stephens c74a46110f tipc: Remove duplicate check of message destination node
Eliminates a check in the processing of TIPC messages arriving from
off node that ensures the message is destined for this node, since this
check duplicates an earlier check. (The check would be necessary if TIPC
needed to be able to route incoming messages to another node, but the
elimination of multi-cluster support means that this never happens and
all incoming messages are consumed by the receiving node.)

Note: This change involves the elimination of a single "if" statement
with a large "then" clause; consequently, a significant number of lines
end up getting re-indented. In addition, a simple message header access
routine that is no longer referenced is eliminated. However, the only
functional change is the elimination of the single check described above.

Allan Stephens 97878a405c tipc: Detect duplicate nodes using different network interfaces
Utilizes the new "node signature" field in neighbor discovery messages
to ensure that all links TIPC associates with a given <Z.C.N> network
address belong to the same neighboring node. (Previously, TIPC could not
tell if link setup requests arriving on different interfaces were from
the same node or from two different nodes that has mistakenly been assigned
the same network address.)

The revised algorithm for detecting a duplicate node considers both the
node signature and the network interface adddress specified in a request
message when deciding how to respond to a link setup request. This prevents
false alarms that might otherwise arise during normal network operation
under the following scenarios:

a) A neighboring node reboots. (The node's signature changes, but the
network interface address remains unchanged.)

b) A neighboring node's network interface is replaced. (The node's signature
remains unchanged, but the network interface address changes.)

c) A neighboring node is completely replaced. (The node's signature and
network interface address both change.)

The algorithm also handles cases in which a node reboots and re-establishes
its links to TIPC (or begins re-establishing those links) before TIPC
detects that it is using a new node signature. In such cases of "delayed
rediscovery" TIPC simply accepts the new signature without disrupting
communication that is already underway over the links.

Thanks to Laser [gotolaser@gmail.com] for his contributions to the
development of this enhancement.

Allan Stephens fc0eea691a tipc: Introduce node signature field in neighbor discovery message
Adds support for the new "node signature" in neighbor discovery messages,
which is a 16 bit identifier chosen randomly when TIPC is initialized.
This field makes it possible for nodes receiving a neighbor discovery
message to detect if multiple neighboring nodes are using the same network
address (i.e. <Z.C.N>), even when the messages are arriving on different
interfaces.

This first phase of node signature support creates the signature,
incorporates it into outgoing neighbor discovery messages, and tracks
the signature used by valid neighbors. An upcoming patch builds on this
foundation to implement the improved duplicate neighbor detection checking.

Allan Stephens dff10e9e63 tipc: Minor optimization to rejection of connection-based messages
Modifies message rejection logic so that TIPC doesn't attempt to
send a FIN message to the rejecting port if it is known in advance
that there is no such message because the rejecting port doesn't exist.

Allan Stephens 3175bd9add tipc: Eliminate alteration of publication key during name table purging
Removes code that alters the publication key of a name table entry
that is being forcibly purged from TIPC's name table after contact
with the publishing node has been lost.

Current TIPC ensures that all defunct names are purged before
re-establishing contact with a failed node.  There used to be a risk
that the publication might be accidentally deleted because it might be
re-added to the name table before the purge operation was completed.
But now there is no longer a need to ensure that the new key is different
than the old one.

Allan Stephens 63e7f1ac28 tipc: Prevent loss of fragmented messages over broadcast link
Modifies broadcast link so that an incoming fragmented message is not
lost if reassembly cannot begin because there currently is no buffer
big enough to hold the entire reassembled message. The broadcast link
now ignores the first fragment completely, which causes the sending node
to retransmit the first fragment so that reassembly can be re-attempted.

Previously, the sender would have had no reason to retransmit the 1st
fragment, so we would never have a chance to re-try the allocation.

To do this cleanly without duplicaton, a new bclink_accept_pkt()
function is introduced.
