tipc: phase out most of the struct print_buf usage

2012-07-13T23:33:28+00:00

The tipc_printf is renamed to tipc_snprintf, as the new name
describes more what the function actually does.  It is also
changed to take a buffer and length parameter and return
number of characters written to the buffer.  All callers of
this function that used to pass a print_buf are updated.

Final removal of the struct print_buf itself will be done
synchronously with the pending removal of the deprecated
logging code that also was using it.

Functions that build up a response message with a list of
ports, nametable contents etc. are changed to return the number
of characters written to the output buffer. This information
was previously hidden in a field of the print_buf struct, and
the number of chars written was fetched with a call to
tipc_printbuf_validate.  This function is removed since it
is no longer referenced nor needed.

A generic max size ULTRA_STRING_MAX_LEN is defined, named
in keeping with the existing TIPC_TLV_ULTRA_STRING, and the
various definitions in port, link and nametable code that
largely duplicated this information are removed.  This means
that amount of link statistics that can be returned is now
increased from 2k to 32k.

The buffer overflow check is now done just before the reply
message is passed over netlink or TIPC to a remote node and
the message indicating a truncated buffer is changed to a less
dramatic one (less CAPS), placed at the end of the message.

tipc: simplify link_print by divorcing it from using tipc_printf

2012-07-13T23:27:57+00:00

To pave the way for a pending cleanup of tipc_printf, and
removal of struct print_buf entirely, we make that task simpler
by converting link_print to issue its messages with standard
printk infrastructure.  [Original idea separated from a larger
patch from Erik Hugne ]

tipc: remove TIPC packet debugging functions and macros

2012-07-13T23:25:16+00:00

The link queue traces and packet level debug functions served
a purpose during early development, but are now redundant
since there are other, more capable tools available for
debugging at the packet level.

The TIPC_DEBUG Kconfig option is removed since it does not
provide any extra debugging features anymore.

This gets rid of a lot of tipc_printf usages, which will
make the pending cleanup work of that function easier.

tipc: use standard printk shortcut macros (pr_err etc.)

2012-07-13T23:24:44+00:00

All messages should go directly to the kernel log.  The TIPC
specific error, warning, info and debug trace macro's are
removed and all references replaced with pr_err, pr_warn,
pr_info and pr_debug.

Commonly used sub-strings are explicitly declared as a const
char to reduce .text size.

Note that this means the debug messages (changed to pr_debug),
are now enabled through dynamic debugging, instead of a TIPC
specific Kconfig option (TIPC_DEBUG).  The latter will be
phased out completely

net: Fix (nearly-)kernel-doc comments for various functions

Fix incorrect start markers, wrapped summary lines, missing section
breaks, incorrect separators, and some name mismatches.

tipc: compress out gratuitous extra carriage returns

2012-04-30T19:53:56+00:00

Some of the comment blocks are floating in limbo between two
functions, or between blocks of code.  Delete the extra line
feeds between any comment and its associated following block
of code, to be consistent with the majority of the rest of
the kernel.  Also delete trailing newlines at EOF and fix
a couple trivial typos in existing comments.

This is a 100% cosmetic change with no runtime impact.  We get
rid of over 500 lines of non-code, and being blank line deletes,
they won't even show up as noise in git blame.

tipc: Eliminate obsolete code for re-sending a message

2012-02-29T16:45:01+00:00

Removes code that updated the "previous node" field of an out-going
message over TIPC's links. Such updating is unnecessary since the
removal of the prototype multi-cluster capability means that all
outgoing messages are generated locally and already have this field
populated correctly.

tipc: Eliminate trivial buffer manipulation helper routines

2012-02-24T22:05:16+00:00

Gets rid of two inlined routines that simply call existing sk_buff
manipulation routines, since there is no longer any extra processing
done by the helper routines.

Note that these changes are essentially cosmetic in nature, and have
no impact on the actual operation of TIPC.

tipc: Remove duplicate check of message destination node

2012-02-24T22:05:14+00:00

Eliminates a check in the processing of TIPC messages arriving from
off node that ensures the message is destined for this node, since this
check duplicates an earlier check. (The check would be necessary if TIPC
needed to be able to route incoming messages to another node, but the
elimination of multi-cluster support means that this never happens and
all incoming messages are consumed by the receiving node.)

Note: This change involves the elimination of a single "if" statement
with a large "then" clause; consequently, a significant number of lines
end up getting re-indented. In addition, a simple message header access
routine that is no longer referenced is eliminated. However, the only
functional change is the elimination of the single check described above.
