[PATCH net-next 00/13] tipc: separate link and link aggregation layer

[Jon Maloy <jon.maloy@ericsson.com>]

This is the first batch of a longer series that has two main objectives:

o Finer lock granularity during message sending and reception,
  especially regarding usage of the node spinlock.

o Better separation between the link layer implementation and the link
  aggregation layer, represented by node.c::struct tipc_node.

Hopefully these changes also make this part of code somewhat easier
to comprehend and maintain.


Jon Maloy (13):
  tipc: introduce link entry structure to struct tipc_node
  tipc: move link creation from neighbor discoverer to node
  tipc: move link input queue to tipc_node
  tipc: use bearer index when looking up active links
  tipc: change sk_buffer handling in tipc_link_xmit()
  tipc: make media xmit call outside node spinlock context
  tipc: clean up definitions and usage of link flags
  tipc: introduce new link protocol msg create function
  tipc: improve link FSM implementation
  tipc: simplify link timer implementation
  tipc: move link supervision timer to node level
  tipc: introduce node contact FSM
  tipc: reduce locking scope during packet reception
