[net-next 0/8] tipc: introduce 128-bit auto-configurable node id

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

We introduce a 128-bit free-format node identity as an alternative to
the legacy <Zone.Cluster.Node> structured 32-bit node address.

We also make configuration of this identity optional; if a bearer is
enabled without a pre-configured node id it will be set automatically
based on the used interface's MAC or IP address.

Jon Maloy (8):
  tipc: refactor function tipc_enable_bearer()
  tipc: some cleanups in the file discover.c
  tipc: remove restrictions on node address values
  tipc: allow closest-first lookup algorithm when legacy address is
    configured
  tipc: remove direct accesses to own_addr field in struct tipc_net
  tipc: add 128-bit node identifier
  tipc: handle collisions of 32-bit node address hash values
  tipc: obtain node identity from interface by default
