tipc: rename struct bearer_name to struct tipc_bearer_names

2011-12-30T02:53:30+00:00

The addition of the "s" to indicate pluralization is intentional,
since the struct actually contains two name variants.

tipc: rename struct link* to struct tipc_link*

2011-12-30T02:53:30+00:00

This converts the following:

	struct link		->	struct tipc_link
	struct link_req		->	struct tipc_link_req
	struct link_name	->	struct tipc_link_name

tipc: rename struct media to struct tipc_media

2011-12-30T02:53:29+00:00

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.

tipc: Allow run-time alteration of default link settings

2011-12-27T16:33:39+00:00

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.

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

2011-12-27T16:33:36+00:00

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: Add new address conversion routines for Ethernet media

2011-12-27T16:33:27+00:00

Enhances TIPC's Ethernet media support to provide 3 new address conversion
routines, which allow TIPC to interpret an address that is in string form
and to convert an address to and from the 20 byte format used in TIPC's
neighbor discovery messages.

These routines are pre-requisites to a follow on commit that hides all
media-specific addressing details from TIPC's generic bearer code.

tipc: Improve handling of media address printing errors

2011-12-27T16:13:06+00:00

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.)

tipc: Register new media using pre-compiled structure

2011-12-27T16:13:05+00:00

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.

tipc: Lower limits for number of bearers and media types

2011-09-18T02:55:07+00:00

Reduces the number of bearers a node can support to 2, which can use
identical or non-identical media. This change won't impact users,
since they are currently limited to a maximum of 2 Ethernet bearers,
and will save memory by eliminating a number of unused entries in
TIPC's media and bearer arrays.

tipc: Eliminate unused field in bearer structure

2011-06-24T20:18:16+00:00

Gets rid of counter that records the number of times a bearer has
resumed after congestion or blocking, since the value is never
referenced anywhere.
