tipc: Fix initialization sequence problems when entering network mode

2008-05-21T21:55:04+00:00

This patch ensures that TIPC's topology service and configuration
service are shut down before switching into "network mode".  This
ensures that TIPC does not mistakenly try to send unnecessary
"publication withdraw" messages to other nodes before it is fully
initialized for sending off-node messages.  Note that the node's
current network address is now updated only after the two services
are shut down; this ensures that any existing connections to the
topology server are terminated correctly using the old address.

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: Exclude debug-only print buffer code when not debugging

2008-05-05T08:24:06+00:00

This patch modifies TIPC to only exclude debug-related print buffer
routines when debugging capabilities are not required.  It also
fixes up some related #defines that exceed 80 characters.

tipc: Cosmetic cleanup of system & debug output declarations

2008-05-05T08:23:34+00:00

This patch contains changes to make TIPC's system & debug
message declarations more readable.  Declarations have been
regrouped and recommented to make it easier to understand
what output is generated in both standard and debugging modes.
In addition, oversize lines have been fixed to respect the
80 character upper bound used in the kernel.

[TIPC]: Cosmetic cleanup of print buffer code

2008-05-05T08:22:59+00:00

This patch contains changes to make TIPC's print buffer code
conform more closely to Linux kernel coding guidelines.

tipc: Elimination of print buffer chaining

2008-05-05T08:22:30+00:00

This patch revamps TIPC's print buffer subsystem to eliminate
support for arbitrary chains of print buffers, which were
rarely needed and difficult to use safely.

In its place, print buffers can now be configured to echo their
output to the system console.  This provides an equivalent for
the only chaining currently utilized by TIPC, in a faster and
more compact manner.

[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.
