The client announcement mechanism informs every mesh node in the network
of any connected non-mesh client, in order to find the path towards that
client from any given point in the mesh.
The old implementation was based on the simple idea of appending a data
buffer to each OGM containing all the client MAC addresses the node is
serving. All other nodes can populate their global translation tables
(table which links client MAC addresses to node addresses) using this
MAC address buffer and linking it to the node's address contained in the
OGM. A node that wants to contact a client has to lookup the node the
client is connected to and its address in the global translation table.
It is easy to understand that this implementation suffers from several
issues:
- big overhead (each and every OGM contains the entire list of
connected clients)
- high latencies for client route updates due to long OGM trip time and
OGM losses
The new implementation addresses these issues by appending client
changes (new client joined or a client left) to the OGM instead of
filling it with all the client addresses each time. In this way nodes
can modify their global tables by means of "updates", thus reducing the
overhead within the OGMs.
To keep the entire network in sync each node maintains a translation
table version number (ttvn) and a translation table checksum. These
values are spread with the OGM to allow all the network participants to
determine whether or not they need to update their translation table
information.
When a translation table lookup is performed in order to send a packet
to a client attached to another node, the destination's ttvn is added to
the payload packet. Forwarding nodes can compare the packet's ttvn with
their destination's ttvn (this node could have a fresher information
than the source) and re-route the packet if necessary. This greatly
reduces the packet loss of clients roaming from one AP to the next.

When a link is saturated (re)broadcasts of OGMs are delayed. Under heavy
load this delay may exceed the orig interval which leads to OGMs being

TI-RPC introduces the capability of performing RPC over AF_LOCAL
sockets. It uses this mainly for registering and unregistering
local RPC services securely with the local rpcbind, but we could
also conceivably use it as a generic upcall mechanism.
This patch provides a client-side only implementation for the moment.
We might also consider a server-side implementation to provide
AF_LOCAL access to NLM (for statd downcalls, and such like).
Autobinding is not supported on kernel AF_LOCAL transports at this
time. Kernel ULPs must specify the pathname of the remote endpoint
when an AF_LOCAL transport is created. rpcbind supports registering
services available via AF_LOCAL, so the kernel could handle it with
some adjustment to ->rpcbind and ->set_port. But we don't need this
feature for doing upcalls via well-known named sockets.
This has not been tested with ULPs that move a substantial amount of
data. Thus, I can't attest to how robust the write_space and
congestion management logic is.

As libtirpc does in user space, have our registration API try using an
AF_LOCAL transport first when registering and unregistering.
This means we don't chew up privileged ports, and our registration is
bound to an "owner" (the effective uid of the process on the sending
end of the transport). Only that "owner" may unregister the service.
The kernel could probe rpcbind via an rpcbind query to determine
whether rpcbind has an AF_LOCAL service. For simplicity, we use the
same technique that libtirpc uses: simply fail over to network
loopback if creating an AF_LOCAL transport to the well-known rpcbind
service socket fails.
This means we open-code the pathname of the rpcbind socket in the
kernel. For now we have to do that anyway because the kernel's
RPC over AF_LOCAL implementation does not support autobind. That may
be undesirable in the long term.

Several crashes in cleanup_once() were reported in recent kernels.
Commit d6cc1d642d (inetpeer: various changes) added a race in
unlink_from_unused().
One way to avoid taking unused_peers.lock before doing the list_empty()
test is to catch 0->1 refcnt transitions, using full barrier atomic
operations variants (atomic_cmpxchg() and atomic_inc_return()) instead
of previous atomic_inc() and atomic_add_unless() variants.
We then call unlink_from_unused() only for the owner of the 0->1
transition.
Add a new atomic_add_unless_return() static helper
