Completely redesigns broadcast link ACK and NACK mechanisms to prevent
spurious retransmit requests in dual LAN networks, and to prevent the
broadcast link from stalling due to the failure of a receiving node to
acknowledge receiving a broadcast message or request its retransmission.
Note: These changes only impact the timing of when ACK and NACK messages
are sent, and not the basic broadcast link protocol itself, so inter-
operability with nodes using the "classic" algorithms is maintained.
The revised algorithms are as follows:
1) An explicit ACK message is still sent after receiving 16 in-sequence
messages, and implicit ACK information continues to be carried in other
unicast link message headers (including link state messages). However,
the timing of explicit ACKs is now based on the receiving node's absolute
network address rather than its relative network address to ensure that
the failure of another node does not delay the ACK beyond its 16 message
target.
2) A NACK message is now typically sent only when a message gap persists
for two consecutive incoming link state messages; this ensures that a
suspected gap is not confirmed until both LANs in a dual LAN network have
had an opportunity to deliver the message, thereby preventing spurious NACKs.
A NACK message can also be generated by the arrival of a single link state
message, if the deferred queue is so big that the current message gap
cannot be the result of "normal" mis-ordering due to the use of dual LANs
(or one LAN using a bonded interface). Since link state messages typically
arrive at different nodes at different times the problem of multiple nodes
issuing identical NACKs simultaneously is inherently avoided.
3) Nodes continue to "peek" at NACK messages sent by other nodes. If
another node requests retransmission of a message gap suspected (but not
yet confirmed) by the peeking node, the peeking node forgets about the
gap and does not generate a duplicate retransmit request. (If the peeking
node subsequently fails to receive the lost message, later link state
messages will cause it to rediscover and confirm the gap and send another
NACK.)
4) Message gap "equality" is now determined by the start of the gap only.
This is sufficient to deal with the most common cases of message loss,
and eliminates the need for complex end of gap computations.
5) A peeking node no longer tries to determine whether it should send a
complementary NACK, since the most common cases of message loss don't
require it to be sent. Consequently, the node no longer examines the
"broadcast tag" field of a NACK message when peeking.

Fix a bug that can prevent TIPC from sending broadcast messages to a node
if contact with the node is lost and then regained. The problem occurs if
the broadcast link first clears the flag indicating the node is part of the
link's distribution set (when it loses contact with the node), and later
fails to restore the flag (when contact is regained); restoration fails
if contact with the node is regained by implicit unicast link activation
triggered by the arrival of a data message, rather than explicitly by the
arrival of a link activation message.
The broadcast link now uses separate fields to track whether a node is
theoretically capable of receiving broadcast messages versus whether it is
actually part of the link's distribution set. The former member is updated
by the receipt of link protocol messages, which can occur at any time; the
latter member is updated only when contact with the node is gained or lost.
This change also permits the simplification of several conditional
expressions since the broadcast link's "supported" field can now only be
set if there are working links to the associated node.

Enhances TIPC to ensure that a node that loses contact with a
neighboring node does not allow contact to be re-established until
it sees that its peer has also recognized the loss of contact.
Previously, nodes that were connected by two or more links could
encounter a situation in which node A would lose contact with node B
on all of its links, purge its name table of names published by B,
and then fail to repopulate those names once contact with B was restored.
This would happen because B was able to re-establish one or more links
so quickly that it never reached a point where it had no links to A --
meaning that B never saw a loss of contact with A, and consequently
didn't re-publish its names to A.
This problem is now prevented by enhancing the cleanup done by TIPC
following a loss of contact with a neighboring node to ensure that
node A ignores all messages sent by B until it receives a LINK_PROTOCOL
message that indicates B has lost contact with A, thereby preventing
the (re)establishment of links between the nodes. The loss of contact
is recognized when a RESET or ACTIVATE message is received that has
a "redundant link exists" field of 0, indicating that B's sending link
endpoint is in a reset state and that B has no other working links.
Additionally, TIPC now suppresses the sending of (most) link protocol
messages to a neighboring node while it is cleaning up after an earlier
loss of contact with that node. This stops the peer node from prematurely
activating its link endpoint, which would prevent TIPC from later
activating its own end. TIPC still allows outgoing RESET messages to
occur during cleanup, to avoid problems if its own node recognizes
the loss of contact first and tries to notify the peer of the situation.
Finally, TIPC now recognizes an impending loss of contact with a peer node
as soon as it receives a RESET message on a working link that is the
peer's only link to the node, and ensures that the link protocol
suppression mentioned above goes into effect right away -- that is,
even before its own link endpoints have failed. This is necessary to
ensure correct operation when there are redundant links between the nodes,
since otherwise TIPC would send an ACTIVATE message upon receiving a RESET
on its first link and only begin suppressing when a RESET on its second
link was received, instead of initiating suppression with the first RESET
message as it needs to.
Note: The reworked cleanup code also eliminates a check that prevented
a link endpoint's discovery object from responding to incoming messages
while stale name table entries are being purged. This check is now
unnecessary and would have slowed down re-establishment of communication
between the nodes in some situations.

the new message would remain in the broadcast link's transmit queue
forever, eventually causing the link to become congested and "stall".
Delaying the implicit acknowledgement processing until after the update
of the map of reachable nodes eliminates this race condition and prevents
stalling.

Enhances cleanup of broadcast link-related information when contact
with a node is lost.
1) All broadcast link-related cleanup now occurs only if the lost node
was capable of communicating over the broadcast link.
2) Following cleanup, the lost node is marked as no longer supporting
the broadcast link, ensuring that any remaining broadcast messages
received from that node prior to the re-establishment of a normal
communication link are ignored.

Ensure TIPC ignores an out-dated link reset message whose session
number predates the current session number. (Previously, TIPC only
ignored an out-date reset message whose session number was equal
to the current link session number.)
Out-dated link reset messages should not occur under normal circumstances;
however, they can be generated if a link endpoint is unable to send a
link reset message right away and queues it for later delivery, but the
queued message is not sent until after the link is established.

Modifies the name table array structure that contains the name
sequence instances for a given name type so that the publication
lists associated with a given instance are stored in a dynamically
allocated structure, rather than being embedded within the array
entry itself. This change is being done for several reasons:
1) It reduces the amount of data that needs to be copied whenever
a given array is expanded or contracted to accommodate the first
publication of a new name sequence or the removal of the last
publication of an existing name sequence.
2) It reduces the amount of memory associated with array entries that
are currently unused.
3) It facilitates the upcoming conversion of the publication lists
from TIPC-specific circular lists to standard kernel lists. (Standard
lists cannot be used with the former array structure because the
relocation of array entries during array expansion and contraction
would corrupt the lists.)
Note that, aside from introducing a small amount of code to dynamically
allocate and free the structure that now holds publication list info,
this change is largely a simple renaming exercise that replaces
references to "sseq->LIST" with "sseq->info->LIST" (or "info->LIST").

Optimizes the creation of a returned payload message by duplicating
the original message and then updating the small number of fields
that need to be adjusted, rather than building the new message header
from scratch. In addition, certain operations that are not always
required are relocated so that they are only done if needed.
These optimizations also have the effect of addressing other issues
that were present previously:
1) Fixes a bug that caused the socket send routines to return the
size of the returned message, rather than the size of the sent
message, when a returnable payload message was sent to a non-existent
destination port.
2) The message header of the returned message now matches that of
the original message more closely. The header is now always the same
size as the original header, and some message header fields that
weren't being initialized in the returned message header are now
populated correctly -- namely the "d" and "s" bits, and the upper
bound of a multicast name instance (where present).

Revises the algorithm governing the sending of link request messages
to take into account the number of nodes each bearer is currently in
contact with, and to ensure more rapid rediscovery of neighboring nodes
if a bearer fails and then recovers.
The discovery object now sends requests at least once a second if it
is not in contact with any other nodes, and at least once a minute if
it has at least one neighbor; if contact with the only neighbor is
lost, the object immediately reverts to its initial rapid-fire search
timing to accelerate the rediscovery process.
In addition, the discovery object now stops issuing link request
messages if it is in contact with the only neighboring node it is
configured to communicate with, since further searching is unnecessary.

Rework TIPC's message sending routines to take advantage of the total
amount of data value passed to it by the kernel socket infrastructure.
This change eliminates the need for TIPC to compute the size of outgoing
messages itself, as well as the check for an oversize message in
tipc_msg_build(). In addition, this change warrants an explanation:
- res = send_packet(NULL, sock, &my_msg, 0);
+ res = send_packet(NULL, sock, &my_msg, bytes_to_send);
Previously, the final argument to send_packet() was ignored (since the
amount of data being sent was recalculated by a lower-level routine)
and we could just pass in a dummy value (0). Now that the
recalculation is being eliminated, the argument value being passed to
send_packet() is significant and we have to supply the actual amount
of data we want to send.
