tipc: phase out most of the struct print_buf usage

2012-07-13T23:33:28Z

The tipc_printf is renamed to tipc_snprintf, as the new name describes more what the function actually does. It is also changed to take a buffer and length parameter and return number of characters written to the buffer. All callers of this function that used to pass a print_buf are updated. Final removal of the struct print_buf itself will be done synchronously with the pending removal of the deprecated logging code that also was using it. Functions that build up a response message with a list of ports, nametable contents etc. are changed to return the number of characters written to the output buffer. This information was previously hidden in a field of the print_buf struct, and the number of chars written was fetched with a call to tipc_printbuf_validate. This function is removed since it is no longer referenced nor needed. A generic max size ULTRA_STRING_MAX_LEN is defined, named in keeping with the existing TIPC_TLV_ULTRA_STRING, and the various definitions in port, link and nametable code that largely duplicated this information are removed. This means that amount of link statistics that can be returned is now increased from 2k to 32k. The buffer overflow check is now done just before the reply message is passed over netlink or TIPC to a remote node and the message indicating a truncated buffer is changed to a less dramatic one (less CAPS), placed at the end of the message.

tipc: use standard printk shortcut macros (pr_err etc.)

2012-07-13T23:24:44Z

All messages should go directly to the kernel log. The TIPC specific error, warning, info and debug trace macro's are removed and all references replaced with pr_err, pr_warn, pr_info and pr_debug. Commonly used sub-strings are explicitly declared as a const char to reduce .text size. Note that this means the debug messages (changed to pr_debug), are now enabled through dynamic debugging, instead of a TIPC specific Kconfig option (TIPC_DEBUG). The latter will be phased out completely Signed-off-by: Erik Hugne Signed-off-by: Jon Maloy [PG: use pr_fmt as suggested by Joe Perches ] Signed-off-by: Paul Gortmaker

tipc: limit error messages relating to memory leak to one line

2012-07-12T14:13:12Z

With the default name table size of 1024, it is possible that the sanity check in tipc_nametbl_stop could spam out 1024 essentially identical error messages if memory was corrupted or similar. Limit it to issuing no more than a single message. The actual chain number (i.e. 0 --> 1023) wouldn't provide any useful insight if/when such an instance happened, so don't bother printing out that value. Signed-off-by: Paul Gortmaker

net: Fix (nearly-)kernel-doc comments for various functions

2012-07-11T06:13:45Z

Fix incorrect start markers, wrapped summary lines, missing section breaks, incorrect separators, and some name mismatches. Signed-off-by: Ben Hutchings Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

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: Enhance error checking of published names

2012-04-26T22:15:48Z

Consolidates validation of scope and name sequence range values into a single routine where it applies both to local name publications and to name publications issued by other nodes in the network. This change means that the scope value for non-local publications is now validated and the name sequence range for local publications is now validated only once. Additionally, a publication attempt that fails validation now creates an entry in the system log file only if debugging capabilities have been enabled; this prevents the system log from being cluttered up with messages caused by a defective application or network node.

tipc: Create helper routine to delete unused name sequence structure

2012-04-26T22:15:47Z

Replaces two identical chunks of code that delete an unused name sequence structure from TIPC's name table with calls to a new routine that performs this operation. This change is cosmetic and doesn't impact the operation of TIPC. Signed-off-by: Allan Stephens Signed-off-by: Paul Gortmaker

tipc: Ensure network address change doesn't impact name table updates

2012-04-19T19:46:40Z

Revises routines that add and remove an entry from a node's name table so that the publication scope lists are updated properly even if the node's network address is changed in mid-operation. The routines now recognize the default node address of <0.0.0> as an alias for "this node" even after a new network address has been assigned.

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: Don't record failed publication attempt as a success

2012-04-19T19:46:37Z

No longer increments counter of number of publications by a node if an attempt to add a new publication fails. This prevents TIPC from incorrectly blocking future publications because the configured maximum number of publications has been reached. Signed-off-by: Allan Stephens Signed-off-by: Paul Gortmaker
