tipc: Increase buffer header to support worst-case device

2008-05-09T04:38:24+00:00

This patch increases the headroom TIPC reserves in each sk_buff
to accommodate the largest possible link level device header.

[TIPC]: Force linearization of non-linear sk_buffs

2008-04-16T02:03:23+00:00

This patch allows TIPC to process incoming messages that are
stored in a fragmented sk_buff, by forcing the linearization
of any such messages it receives.

Note: This is an interim solution to allow TIPC to operate with
Ethernet devices that generate non-linear buffers (such as the
gianfar driver), until such time as the rest of TIPC is enhanced
to handle sk_buffs with multiple data areas.

[TIPC]: Use fast buffer cloning to improve performance

2008-04-16T02:02:30+00:00

This patch causes TIPC to allocate fast clonable sk_buffs,
rather than standard ones.  This speeds up the cloning
operation done by the link code each time a message is sent
off-node.

[TIPC]: Remove redundant NULL check when discarding buffers

2008-04-16T02:01:43+00:00

This patch eliminates a null pointer check when discarding a
TIPC message buffer, since kfree_skb() already handles this
situation.

Acknowledgements to Florian Westphal (fw@strlen.de> for
suggesting this enhancement.

[NET]: Convert init_timer into setup_timer

2008-01-28T22:53:35+00:00

Many-many code in the kernel initialized the timer->function
and  timer->data together with calling init_timer(timer). There
is already a helper for this. Use it for networking code.

The patch is HUGE, but makes the code 130 lines shorter
(98 insertions(+), 228 deletions(-)).

[TIPC]: Remove code bloat introduced by print buffer rework

2006-10-19T02:55:18+00:00

This patch allows the compiler to optimize out any code that tries to
send debugging output to the null print buffer (TIPC_NULL), a capability
that was unintentionally broken during the recent print buffer rework.

[TIPC]: Debug print buffer enhancements and fixes

2006-10-19T02:55:14+00:00

This change modifies TIPC's print buffer code as follows:
1) Now supports small print buffers (min. size reduced from 512 bytes to 64)
2) Now uses TIPC_NULL print buffer structure to indicate null device
   instead of NULL pointer (this simplified error handling)
3) Fixed misuse of console buffer structure by tipc_dump()
4) Added and corrected comments in various places
