To enable iproute2/tipc to generate backwards compatible
printouts and validate command parameters for nodes using a
<z.c.n> node address, it needs to be able to read the legacy
address flag from the kernel. The legacy address flag records
the way in which the node identity was originally specified.
The legacy address flag is requested by the netlink message
TIPC_NL_ADDR_LEGACY_GET. If the flag is set the attribute
TIPC_NLA_NET_ADDR_LEGACY is set in the return message.

Selecting and explicitly configuring a TIPC node identity may be
unwanted in some cases.
In this commit we introduce a default setting if the identity has not
been set at the moment the first bearer is enabled. We do this by
using a raw copy of a unique identifier from the used interface: MAC
address in the case of an L2 bearer, IPv4/IPv6 address in the case
of a UDP bearer.

We add a 128-bit node identity, as an alternative to the currently used
32-bit node address.
For the sake of compatibility and to minimize message header changes
we retain the existing 32-bit address field. When not set explicitly by
the user, this field will be filled with a hash value generated from the
much longer node identity, and be used as a shorthand value for the
latter.
We permit either the address or the identity to be set by configuration,
but not both, so when the address value is set by a legacy user the
corresponding 128-bit node identity is generated based on the that value.

Global variables associated with node table are below:
- node table list (node_htable)
- node hash table list (tipc_node_list)
- node table lock (node_list_lock)
- node number counter (tipc_num_nodes)
- node link number counter (tipc_num_links)
To make node table support namespace, above global variables must be
moved to tipc_net structure in order to keep secret for different
namespaces. As a consequence, these variables are allocated and
initialized when namespace is created, and deallocated when namespace
is destroyed. After the change, functions associated with these
variables have to utilize a namespace pointer to access them. So
adding namespace pointer as a parameter of these functions is the
major change made in the commit.

As a preparation to eliminate port_lock we need to bring reception
of connection protocol messages under proper protection of bh_lock_sock
or socket owner.
We fix this by letting those messages follow the same code path as
incoming data messages.
As a side effect of this change, the last reference to the function
net_route_msg() disappears, and we can eliminate that function.

Now tipc routing hierarchy comprises the structures 'node', 'link'and
'bearer'. The whole hierarchy is protected by a big read/write lock,
tipc_net_lock, to ensure that nothing is added or removed while code
is accessing any of these structures. Obviously the locking policy
makes node, link and bearer components closely bound together so that
their relationship becomes unnecessarily complex. In the worst case,
such locking policy not only has a negative influence on performance,
but also it's prone to lead to deadlock occasionally.
In order o decouple the complex relationship between bearer and node
as well as link, the locking policy is adjusted as follows:
- Bearer level
RTNL lock is used on update side, and RCU is used on read side.
Meanwhile, all bearer instances including broadcast bearer are
saved into bearer_list array.
- Node and link level
All node instances are saved into two tipc_node_list and node_htable
lists. The two lists are protected by node_list_lock on write side,
and they are guarded with RCU lock on read side. All members in node
structure including link instances are protected by node spin lock.
- The relationship between bearer and node
When link accesses bearer, it first needs to find the bearer with
its bearer identity from the bearer_list array. When bearer accesses
node, it can iterate the node_htable hash list with the node
address to find the corresponding node.
In the new locking policy, every component has its private locking
solution and the relationship between bearer and node is very simple,
that is, they can find each other with node address or bearer identity
from node_htable hash list or bearer_list array.
Until now above all changes have been done, so tipc_net_lock can be
removed safely.

Relocates network-related variables into the subsystem files where
they are now primarily used (following the recent rework of TIPC's
node table), and converts globals into locals where possible. Changes
the initialization of tipc_num_links from run-time to compile-time,
and eliminates the net_start routine that becomes empty as a result.
Also eliminates the corresponding net_stop routine by moving its
(trivial) content into the one location that called the routine.

Replaces the dynamically allocated array of pointers to the cluster's
node objects with a static hash table. Hash collisions are resolved
using chaining, with a typical hash chain having only a single node,
to avoid degrading performance during processing of incoming packets.
The conversion to a hash table reduces the memory requirements for
TIPC's node table to approximately the same size it had prior to
the previous commit.
In addition to the hash table itself, TIPC now also maintains a
linked list for the node objects, sorted by ascending network address.
This list allows TIPC to continue sending responses to user space
applications that request node and link information in sorted order.
The list also improves performance when name table update messages are
sent by making it easier to identify the nodes that must be notified.

Converts the fields of the global "tipc_net" structure into individual
variables. Since the struct was never referenced as a complete unit,
its existence was pointless. This will facilitate upcoming changes to
TIPC's node table and simpify upcoming relocation of the variables so
they are only visible to the files that actually use them.
This change is essentially cosmetic in nature, and doesn't affect the
operation of TIPC.

Removes a race condition that could cause TIPC's internal counter
of the number of links it has to neighboring nodes to have the
incorrect value if two independent threads of control simultaneously
create new link endpoints connecting to two different nodes using two
different bearers. Such under counting would result in TIPC failing to
list the final link(s) in its response to a configuration request to
list all of the node's links. The counter is now updated atomically
to ensure that simultaneous increments do not interfere with each
other.

are shut down; this ensures that any existing connections to the
