The current rbtree for service ranges in the name table is built based on the 'lower' & 'upper' range values resulting in a flaw in the rbtree searching. Some issues have been observed in case of range overlapping: Case #1: unable to withdraw a name entry: After some name services are bound, all of them are withdrawn by user but one remains in the name table forever. This corrupts the table and that service becomes dummy i.e. no real port. E.g. / {22, 22} / / ---> {10, 50} / \ / \ {10, 30} {20, 60} The node {10, 30} cannot be removed since the rbtree searching stops at the node's ancestor i.e. {10, 50}, so starting from it will never reach the finding node. Case #2: failed to send data in some cases: E.g. Two service ranges: {20, 60}, {10, 50} are bound. The rbtree for this service will be one of the two cases below depending on the order of the bindings: {20, 60} {10, 50} <-- / \ / \ / \ / \ {10, 50} NIL <-- NIL {20, 60} (a) (b) Now, try to send some data to service {30}, there will be two results: (a): Failed, no route to host. (b): Ok. The reason is that the rbtree searching will stop at the pointing node as shown above. Case #3: Same as case #2b above but if the data sending's scope is local and the {10, 50} is published by a peer node, then it will result in 'no route to host' even though the other {20, 60} is for example on the local node which should be able to get the data. The issues are actually due to the way we built the rbtree. This commit fixes it by introducing an additional field to each node - named 'max', which is the largest 'upper' of that node subtree. The 'max' value for each subtrees will be propagated correctly whenever a node is inserted/ removed or the tree is rebalanced by the augmented rbtree callbacks. By this way, we can change the rbtree searching appoarch to solve the issues above. Another benefit from this is that we can now improve the searching for a next range matching e.g. in case of multicast, so get rid of the unneeded looping over all nodes in the tree.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
