tipc: compress out gratuitous extra carriage returns

2012-04-30T19:53:56Z

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. Signed-off-by: Paul Gortmaker

tipc: remove inline instances from C source files.

2012-04-24T04:41:03Z

Untie gcc's hands and let it do what it wants within the individual source files. There are two files, node.c and port.c -- only the latter effectively changes (gcc-4.5.2). Objdump shows gcc deciding to not inline port_peernode(). Suggested-by: David S. Miller Signed-off-by: Paul Gortmaker Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

tipc: Add routines for safe checking of node's network address

2012-04-19T19:46:39Z

Introduces routines that test whether a given network address is equal to a node's own network address or if it lies within the node's own network cluster, and which work properly regardless of whether the node is using the default network address <0.0.0> or a non-zero network address that is assigned later on. In essence, these routines ensure that address <0.0.0> is treated as an alias for "this node", regardless of which network address the node is actually using. Old users of the pre-existing more strict match in_own_cluster() have been accordingly redirected to what is now called in_own_cluster_exact() --- which does not extend matching to <0,0,0>.

tipc: Eliminate support for tipc_mode global variable

2012-02-24T22:05:17Z

Removes all references to the global variable that records whether TIPC is running in "single node" mode or "network" mode, since this information can be easily deduced from the global variable that records TIPC's network address. (i.e. a non-zero network address means that TIPC is running in network mode.) The changes made update most existing mode-based checks to use the network address global variable. A few checks that are no longer needed are removed entirely, along with any associated code lying on non-executable control paths. Signed-off-by: Allan Stephens Signed-off-by: Paul Gortmaker

tipc: Minor optimization to broadcast link synchronization logic

2012-02-24T22:05:16Z

Optimizes processing done when contact with a neighboring node is established to avoid recording the current state of outgoing broadcast messages if the neighboring node isn't a valid broadcast link destination, since this state information isn't needed for such nodes.

tipc: Remove obsolete comments about routing table updates

2012-02-24T22:05:16Z

Eliminates a block of comments that describe how routing table updates are to be handled. These comments no longer apply following the removal of TIPC's prototype multi-cluster support. Note that these changes are essentially cosmetic in nature, and have no impact on the actual operation of TIPC. Signed-off-by: Allan Stephens Signed-off-by: Paul Gortmaker

tipc: Eliminate trivial buffer manipulation helper routines

2012-02-24T22:05:16Z

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. Signed-off-by: Allan Stephens Signed-off-by: Paul Gortmaker

tipc: Hide internal details of node table implementation

2012-02-24T22:05:15Z

Relocates information about the size of TIPC's node table index and its associated hash function, since only node subsystem routines need to have access to this information. Note that these changes are essentially cosmetic in nature, and have no impact on the actual operation of TIPC. Signed-off-by: Allan Stephens Signed-off-by: Paul Gortmaker

tipc: Introduce node signature field in neighbor discovery message

2012-02-24T22:05:13Z

Adds support for the new "node signature" in neighbor discovery messages, which is a 16 bit identifier chosen randomly when TIPC is initialized. This field makes it possible for nodes receiving a neighbor discovery message to detect if multiple neighboring nodes are using the same network address (i.e. ), even when the messages are arriving on different interfaces. This first phase of node signature support creates the signature, incorporates it into outgoing neighbor discovery messages, and tracks the signature used by valid neighbors. An upcoming patch builds on this foundation to implement the improved duplicate neighbor detection checking. Signed-off-by: Allan Stephens Signed-off-by: Paul Gortmaker

tipc: Remove obsolete broadcast tag capability

2012-02-06T21:59:18Z

Eliminates support for the broadcast tag field, which is no longer used by broadcast link NACK messages. Signed-off-by: Allan Stephens Signed-off-by: Paul Gortmaker
