tipc: rename struct bearer_name to struct tipc_bearer_names

2011-12-30T02:53:30Z

The addition of the "s" to indicate pluralization is intentional, since the struct actually contains two name variants. Signed-off-by: Paul Gortmaker

tipc: rename struct link* to struct tipc_link*

2011-12-30T02:53:30Z

This converts the following: struct link -> struct tipc_link struct link_req -> struct tipc_link_req struct link_name -> struct tipc_link_name Signed-off-by: Paul Gortmaker

tipc: rename struct media to struct tipc_media

2011-12-30T02:53:29Z

Give it a meaningful prefix, as suggested by DaveM, so that it is consistent with things like struct tipc_bearer, and so it isn't confused with anything else. This has no impact on the actual runtime code behaviour. Signed-off-by: Paul Gortmaker

tipc: Allow run-time alteration of default link settings

2011-12-27T16:33:39Z

Permits run-time alteration of default link settings on a per-media and per-bearer basis, in addition to the existing per-link basis. The following syntax can now be used: tipc-config -lt=/ tipc-config -lp=/ tipc-config -lw=/ Note that changes to the default settings for a given media type has no effect on the default settings used by existing bearers. Similarly, changes to default bearer settings has no effect on existing link endpoints that utilize that interface. Thanks to Florian Westphal for his contributions to the development of this enhancement. Signed-off-by: Allan Stephens Signed-off-by: Paul Gortmaker

tipc: Hide media-specific addressing details from generic bearer code

2011-12-27T16:33:36Z

Reworks TIPC's media address data structure and associated processing routines to transfer all media-specific details of address conversion to the associated TIPC media adaptation code. TIPC's generic bearer code now only needs to know which media type an address is associated with and whether or not it is a broadcast address, and totally ignores the "value" field that contains the actual media-specific addressing info. These changes eliminate the need for a number of endianness conversion operations and will make it easier for TIPC to support new media types in the future.

tipc: Improve handling of media address printing errors

2011-12-27T16:13:06Z

Enhances conversion of a media address to printable form so that an unconvertable address will be displayed as a string of hex digits, rather than not being displayed at all. (Also removes a pointless check for the existence of the media-specific address conversion routine, since the routine is not optional.) Signed-off-by: Allan Stephens Signed-off-by: Paul Gortmaker

tipc: Streamline media registration error checking

2011-12-27T16:13:06Z

Simplifies error handling performed during media registration, since TIPC no longer supports the dynamic addition of new media types that are potentially error-prone. These simplifications include the following: 1) No longer check for premature registration of a new media type. 2) No longer check for negative link priority values (which was pointless since such values are unsigned, and could cause a compiler warning). 3) No longer generate a warning describing the exact cause of any registration failure (just warns that overall registration failed).

tipc: Eliminate duplication of media structures

2011-12-27T16:13:06Z

Changes TIPC's list of registered media types from an array of media structures to an array of pointers to media structures. This eliminates the need to copy of the contents of the structure passed in during media registration. Signed-off-by: Allan Stephens Signed-off-by: Paul Gortmaker

tipc: Optimize detection of duplicate media registration

2011-12-27T16:13:06Z

Streamlines the detection of an attempt to register a TIPC media structure using an already registered name or type identifier. The revised logic now reuses an existing routine to detect an existing name and no longer unnecessarily manipulates the media type counter during an unsuccessful registration attempt.

tipc: Register new media using pre-compiled structure

2011-12-27T16:13:05Z

Speeds up the registration of TIPC media types by passing in a structure containing the required information, rather than by passing in the various fields describing the media type individually. Signed-off-by: Allan Stephens Signed-off-by: Paul Gortmaker
