Without properly implicit or explicit read memory barrier, it's
unsafe to read an atomic variable with atomic_read() from another
thread which is different with the thread of changing the atomic
variable with atomic_inc() or atomic_dec(). So a stale tipc_num_links
may be got with atomic_read() in tipc_node_get_links(). If the
tipc_num_links variable type is converted from atomic to unsigned
integer and node list lock is used to protect it, the issue would
be avoided.

As tipc_node_list is protected by rcu read lock on read side, it's
unnecessary to hold node_list_lock to protect tipc_node_list in
tipc_node_get_links(). Instead, node_list_lock should just protects
tipc_num_nodes in the function.

Convert tipc_node_list list and node_htable hash list to RCU lists.
On read side, the two lists are protected with RCU read lock, and
on update side, node_list_lock is applied to them.

When a node is created, tipc_net_lock read lock is first held and
then node_create_lock is grabbed in order to prevent the same node
from being created and inserted into both node list and hlist twice.
But when we query node from the two node lists, we only hold
tipc_net_lock read lock without grabbing node_create_lock. Obviously
this locking policy is unable to guarantee that the two node lists
are always synchronized especially when the operation of changing
and accessing them occurs in different contexts like currently doing.
Therefore, rename node_create_lock to node_list_lock to protect the
two node lists, that is, whenever node is inserted into them or node
is queried from them, the node_list_lock should be always held. As a
result, tipc_net_lock read lock becomes redundant and then can be
removed from the node query functions.

Now unicast bearer is dynamically allocated and placed into its
identity specified slot of bearer_list array. When we search
bearer_list array with a bearer identity, the corresponding bearer
instance can be found. But broadcast bearer is statically allocated
and it is not located in the bearer_list array yet. So we decide to
enlarge bearer_list array into MAX_BEARERS + 1 slots, and its last
slot stores the broadcast bearer so that the broadcast bearer can
be found from bearer_list array with MAX_BEARERS as index. The
change will help us reduce the complex relationship between bearer
and link in the future.

After the allocation of tipc_bearer structure instance is converted
from statical way to dynamical way, we identify whether a certain
tipc_bearer structure pointer is valid by checking whether the pointer
is NULL or not. So the active flag in tipc_bearer structure becomes
redundant.

The 'tipc_node_list' is guarded by tipc_net_lock and 'links' array
defined in 'tipc_node' structure is protected by node lock as well.
Without acquiring the two locks in named_cluster_distribute() a fatal
oops may happen in case that a destroyed link might be got and then
accessed. Therefore, above mentioned two locks must be held in
named_cluster_distribute() to prevent the issue from happening
accidentally.
As 'links' array in node struct must be protected by node lock,
we have to move the code of selecting an active link from
tipc_link_xmit() to named_cluster_distribute() and then call
__tipc_link_xmit() with the selected link to deliver name messages.

Due to the lacking of any credential, it's allowed to accept commands
requested from remote nodes to query the local node status, which is
prone to involve potential security risks. Instead, if we login to
a remote node with ssh command, this approach is not only more safe
than the remote management feature, but also it can give us more
permissions like changing the remote node configuration. So it's
reasonable for us to obsolete the remote management feature now.

This patch replaces rcu_assign_pointer(x, NULL) with RCU_INIT_POINTER(x, NULL)
The rcu_assign_pointer() ensures that the initialization of a structure
is carried out before storing a pointer to that structure.
And in the case of the NULL pointer, there is no structure to initialize.
So, rcu_assign_pointer(p, NULL) can be safely converted to RCU_INIT_POINTER(p, NULL)

Some applications didn't expect recvmsg() on a non blocking socket
could return -EINTR. This possibility was added as a side effect
of commit b3ca9b02b00704 ("net: fix multithreaded signal handling in
unix recv routines").
To hit this bug, you need to be a bit unlucky, as the u->readlock
mutex is usually held for very small periods.

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/linville/wireless-next
John W. Linville says:
====================
Please pull this batch of wireless updates intended for 3.15!
For the mac80211 bits, Johannes says:
"This has a whole bunch of bugfixes for things that went into -next
previously as well as some other bugfixes I didn't want to rush into
3.14 at this point. The rest of it is some cleanups and a few small
features, the biggest of which is probably Janusz's regulatory DFS CAC
time code."
For the Bluetooth bits, Gustavo says:
"One more pull request to 3.15. This is mostly and bug fix pull request, it
contains several fixes and clean up all over the tree, plus some small new
features."
For the NFC bits, Samuel says:
"This is the NFC pull request for 3.15. With this one we have:
- Support for ISO 15693 a.k.a. NFC vicinity a.k.a. Type 5 tags. ISO
15693 are long range (1 - 2 meters) vicinity tags/cards. The kernel
now supports those through the NFC netlink and digital APIs.
- Support for TI's trf7970a chipset. This chipset relies on the NFC
digital layer and the driver currently supports type 2, 4A and 5 tags.
- Support for NXP's pn544 secure firmare download. The pn544 C3 chipsets
relies on a different firmware download protocal than the C2 one. We
now support both and use the right one depending on the version we
detect at runtime.
- Support for 4A tags from the NFC digital layer.
- A bunch of cleanups and minor fixes from Axel Lin and Thierry Escande."
For the iwlwifi bits, Emmanuel says:
"We were sending a host command while the mutex wasn't held. This
led to hard-to-catch races."
And...
"I have a fix for a "merge damage" which is not really a merge
damage: it enables scheduled scan which has been disabled in
wireless.git. Since you merged wireless.git into wireless-next.git,
this can now be fixed in wireless-next.git.
Besides this, Alex made a workaround for a hardware bug. This fix
allows us to consume less power in S3. Arik and Eliad continue to
work on D0i3 which is a run-time power saving feature. Eliad also
contributes a few bits to the rate scaling logic to which Eyal adds his
own contribution. Avri dives deep in the power code - newer firmware
will allow to enable power save in newer scenarios. Johannes made a few
clean-ups. I have the regular amount of BT Coex boring stuff. I disable
uAPSD since we identified firmware bugs that cause packet loss. One
thing that do stand out is the udev event that we now send when the
FW asserts. I hope it will allow us to debug the FW more easily."
Also included is one last iwlwifi pull for a build breakage fix...
For the Atheros bits, Kalle says:
"Michal now did some optimisations and was able to improve throughput by
100 Mbps on our MIPS based AP135 platform. Chun-Yeow added some
workarounds to be able to better use ad-hoc mode. Ben improved log
messages and added support for MSDU chaining. And, as usual, also some
smaller fixes."
Beyond that...
Andrea Merello continues his rtl8180 refactoring, in preparation for
a long-awaited rtl8187 driver. We get a new driver (rsi) for the
RS9113 chip, from Fariya Fatima. And, of course, we get the usual
round of updates for ath9k, brcmfmac, mwifiex, wil6210, etc. as well.

Without this check, the current code will end up following random
pointers that just happened to be on the stack when this function was

Take into account posted recv buffers that will never receive their
reply.
The RDMA code posts a recv buffer for each request that it sends.
When a request is flushed, it is possible that this request will
never receive a reply, and that one recv buffer will stay unused on
the recv queue.
It is then possible, if this scenario happens several times, to have the
recv queue full, and have the 9pnet_rmda module unable to send new requests.

With this patch a node sends IPv4 multicast packets to nodes which
have a BATADV_MCAST_WANT_ALL_IPV4 flag set and IPv6 multicast packets
to nodes which have a BATADV_MCAST_WANT_ALL_IPV6 flag set, too.
Why is this needed? There are scenarios involving bridges where
multicast report snooping and multicast TT announcements are not
sufficient, which would lead to packet loss for some nodes otherwise:
MLDv1 and IGMPv1/IGMPv2 have a suppression mechanism
for multicast listener reports. When we have an MLDv1/IGMPv1/IGMPv2
querier behind a bridge then our snooping bridge is potentially not
going to see any reports even though listeners exist because according
to RFC4541 such reports are only forwarded to multicast routers:
-----------------------------------------------------------
---------------
{Querier}---|Snoop. Switch|----{Listener}
---------------
\ ^
-------
| br0 | < ???
-------
\
_-~---~_
_-~/ ~-_
~ batman-adv \-----{Sender}
\~_ cloud ~/
-~~__-__-~_/
I) MLDv1 Query: {Querier} -> flooded
II) MLDv1 Report: {Listener} -> {Querier}
-> br0 cannot detect the {Listener}
=> Packets from {Sender} need to be forwarded to all
detected listeners and MLDv1/IGMPv1/IGMPv2 queriers.
-----------------------------------------------------------
Note that we do not need to explicitly forward to MLDv2/IGMPv3 queriers,
because these protocols have no report suppression: A bridge has no
trouble detecting MLDv2/IGMPv3 listeners.
Even though we do not support bridges yet we need to provide the
according infrastructure already to not break compatibility later.

With this patch a node may additionally perform the dropping or
unicasting behaviour for a link-local IPv4 and link-local-all-nodes
IPv6 multicast packet, too.
The extra counter and BATADV_MCAST_WANT_ALL_UNSNOOPABLES flag is needed
because with a future bridge snooping support integration a node with a
bridge on top of its soft interface is not able to reliably detect its
multicast listeners for IPv4 link-local and the IPv6
link-local-all-nodes addresses anymore (see RFC4541, section 2.1.2.2
and section 3).
Even though this new flag does make "no difference" now, it'll ensure
a seamless integration of multicast bridge support without needing to
break compatibility later.
Also note, that even with multicast bridge support it won't be possible
to optimize 224.0.0.x and ff02::1 towards nodes with bridges, they will
always receive these ranges.

With this patch a multicast packet is not always simply flooded anymore,
the behaviour for the following cases is changed to reduce
unnecessary overhead:
If all nodes within the horizon of a certain node have signalized
multicast listener announcement capability then an IPv6 multicast packet
with a destination of IPv6 link-local scope (excluding ff02::1) coming
from the upstream of this node...
* ...is dropped if there is no according multicast listener in the
translation table,
* ...is forwarded via unicast if there is a single node with interested
multicast listeners
* ...and otherwise still gets flooded.

If the soft interface of a node is not part of a bridge then a node
announces a new multicast TVLV: The existence of this TVLV
signalizes that this node is announcing all of its multicast listeners
via the translation table infrastructure.

The new bitfield allows us to keep track whether capability subsets of
an originator have gone through their initialization phase yet.
The translation table is the only user right now, but a new one will be
added soon.
