Hi.
We use the tipc topology server extensively in our system to keep track of
other instances of an app.
Dies this chage mea we cannot use the topology server anymore?
This si the userland code we use
(this one would check on open sockets on 200:0 to 200:255
void * TipcTopologyServerThread(void * context)
{
int tipcStatusSocket;
struct tipc_event event;
struct sockaddr_tipc topsrv;
struct tipc_subscr subscr = {{200, 0, 255},
TIPC_WAIT_FOREVER,
TIPC_SUB_SERVICE,
{5,5,5,5,5,5,5,5}};
memset(&topsrv, 0, sizeof(topsrv));
topsrv.family = AF_TIPC;
topsrv.addrtype = TIPC_ADDR_NAME;
topsrv.addr.name.name.type = TIPC_TOP_SRV;
topsrv.addr.name.name.instance = TIPC_TOP_SRV;
tipcStatusSocket = socket(AF_TIPC, SOCK_SEQPACKET,0);
if (tipcStatusSocket < 0)
{
perror("TipcTopologyThread: Could not make TIPC socket");
}
// Connect to topology server:
if (0 > connect(tipcStatusSocket,(struct sockaddr*)&topsrv,sizeof(topsrv)))
{
perro("TipcTopologyThread: Could not connect to TIPC topology server");
return NULL;
}
if (send(tipcStatusSocket,&subscr,sizeof(subscr),0) != sizeof(subscr))
{
printf("TipcTopologyThread: Failed to send topology server
subscription");
return NULL;
}
// Now wait for the subscriptions to fire:
while(true)
{
int ret = recv(tipcStatusSocket,&event,sizeof(event),0);
if (ret == sizeof(event))
{
printf("Received an event\n");
if (event.event == TIPC_PUBLISHED)
{
printf("received a TIPC_PUBLISH msg, type: %u, found_lower: %u,
found_upper: %u\n", event.s.seq.type, event.found_lower, event.found_upper);
// do something
}
else if (event.event == TIPC_WITHDRAWN)
{
printf("received a TIPC_WITHDRAWN msg, type: %u, found_lower:
%u, found_upper: %u\n", event.s.seq.type, event.found_lower, event.found_upper);
// do something
}
else if (event.event == TIPC_SUBSCR_TIMEOUT)
{
printf("received a TIPC_SUBSCR_TIMEOUT msg, type: %u,
found_lower: %u, found_upper: %u\n", event.s.seq.type, event.found_lower,
event.found_upper);
}
}
}
return NULL;
}

Subject: [tipc-discussion] [net ] tipc: add stricter control of reserved
service types
This email originated from outside Innovative Systems. Do not click links or

From: Jon Maloy <jma...@redhat.com>
TIPC reserves 64 service types for current and future internal use.
Therefore, the bind() function is meant to block regular user sockets
from being bound to these values, while it should let through such
bindings from internal users.
However, since we at the design moment saw no way to distinguish
between regular and internal users the filter function ended up
with allowing all bindings of the types which were really in use
([0,1]), and block all the rest ([2,63]).
This is dangerous, since a regular user may bind to the service type
representing the topology server (TIPC_TOP_SRV == 1) or the one used
for indicating neigboring node status (TIPC_CFG_SRV == 0), and wreak
havoc for users of those services. I.e., practically all users.
The reality is however that TIPC_CFG_SRV never is bound through the
bind() function, since it doesn't represent a regular socket, and
TIPC_TOP_SRV can easily be filtered out, since it is the very first
binding performed when the system is starting.
We can hence block TIPC_CFG_SRV completely, and only allow TIPC_TOP_SRV
to be bound once, and the correct behavior is achieved. This is what we
do in this commit.
It should be noted that, although this is a change of the API semantics,
there is no risk we will break any currently working applications by
doing this. Any application trying to bind to the values in question
would be badly broken from the outset, so there is no chance we would
find any such applications in real-world production systems.
