At the same time we make the interaction between the socket and link layer simpler and more consistent. Jon Maloy (3): tipc: unify tipc_wait_for_sndpkt() and tipc_wait_for_sndmsg() functions tipc: modify struct tipc_plist to be more versatile tipc: reduce risk of user starvation during link congestion net/tipc/bcast.c | 6 +- net/tipc/link.c | 75 ++++----- net/tipc/msg.h | 2 - net/tipc/name_table.c | 100 +++++++---- net/tipc/name_table.h | 21 +-- net/tipc/node.c | 15 +- net/tipc/socket.c | 449 ++++++++++++++++++++++---------------------------- 7 files changed, 319 insertions(+), 349 deletions(-) -- 2.7.4 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Check out the vibrant tech community on one of the world's most engaging tech sites, SlashDot.org! http://sdm.link/slashdot
