Subject: [PATCH net-next 07/28] tipc: Cosmetic changes to broadcast bearer send routine
Date: Sat, 17 Sep 2011 23:32:03 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1316316744-29514-8-git-send-email-paul.gortmaker@windriver.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1316316744-29514-1-git-send-email-paul.gortmaker@windriver.com>

From: Allan Stephens <allan.stephens@windriver.com>

Updates the comments in the broadcast bearer send routine to more
accurately describe the processing done by the routine. Also replaces
the improper use of a TIPC payload message error status symbol (in a place
that has nothing to do with such errors) with its numeric equivalent.
