tipc: narrow down interface towards struct tipc_link

2015-11-20T19:06:10+00:00

We move the definition of struct tipc_link from link.h to link.c in
order to minimize its exposure to the rest of the code.

When needed, we define new functions to make it possible for external
entities to access and set data in the link.

Apart from the above, there are no functional changes.

tipc: narrow down exposure of struct tipc_node

2015-11-20T19:06:10+00:00

In our effort to have less code and include dependencies between
entities such as node, link and bearer, we try to narrow down
the exposed interface towards the node as much as possible.

In this commit, we move the definition of struct tipc_node, along
with many of its associated function declarations, from node.h to
node.c. We also move some function definitions from link.c and
name_distr.c to node.c, since they access fields in struct tipc_node
that should not be externally visible. The moved functions are renamed
according to new location, and made static whenever possible.

There are no functional changes in this commit.

tipc: move and rename the legacy nl api to "nl compat"

2015-02-09T21:20:47+00:00

The new netlink API is no longer "v2" but rather the standard API and
the legacy API is now "nl compat". We split them into separate
start/stop and put them in different files in order to further
distinguish them.

tipc: make netlink support net namespace

2015-01-12T21:24:34+00:00

Currently tipc module only allows users sitting on "init_net" namespace
to configure it through netlink interface. But now almost each tipc
component is able to be aware of net namespace, so it's time to open
the permission for users residing in other namespaces, allowing them
to configure their own tipc stack instance through netlink interface.

tipc: involve namespace infrastructure

2015-01-12T21:24:32+00:00

Involve namespace infrastructure, make the "tipc_net_id" global
variable aware of per namespace, and rename it to "net_id". In
order that the conversion can be successfully done, an instance
of networking namespace must be passed to relevant functions,
allowing them to access the "net_id" variable of per namespace.
