tipc: Optimize setting of immutable payload message header fields

2012-02-29T16:45:35Z

Optimizes routines that send payload messages so that they no longer update the "originating node" and "originating port" fields of the outgoing message header template, since these fields are initialized when the sending port is created and never change thereafter. Also optimizes the routine which updates the message header template when a connection to a port is established, for the same reason. Signed-off-by: Allan Stephens Signed-off-by: Paul Gortmaker

tipc: Eliminate obsolete code for re-sending a message

2012-02-29T16:45:01Z

Removes code that updated the "previous node" field of an out-going message over TIPC's links. Such updating is unnecessary since the removal of the prototype multi-cluster capability means that all outgoing messages are generated locally and already have this field populated correctly.

tipc: Un-inline port routine for processing incoming messages

2012-02-29T16:44:32Z

Converts a non-trivial routine from inline to non-inline form to avoid bloating the TIPC code base with 6 copies of its body. This change is essentially cosmetic, and doesn't change existing TIPC behavior. Signed-off-by: Allan Stephens Signed-off-by: Paul Gortmaker

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: Eliminate obsolete support for "not running" mode

2012-02-24T22:05:17Z

Removes all references to TIPC's "not running" mode, since the removal of support for the native API means that there is no longer any way to interact with TIPC if it has not been initialized. The changes made consist of removing mode-based checks that are no longer needed, along with any associated code lying on non-executable control paths.

tipc: Revert name table translation optimization

2012-02-24T22:05:17Z

Restores name table translation using a non-zero domain that is "out of scope", which was broken by an earlier commit (5d9c54c1e9ececcf7e99c4f014f9bec7ee3a7def). Comments have now been added to the name table translation routine to make it clear that there are actually three possible outcomes to a translation request (found/not found/deferred), rather than just two (found/not found). Note that a straightforward revert of the earlier commit is not possible, as other changes to the name table translation logic have occurred since the incorrect optimization was made.

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
