* tipc: Update commenting in TIPC APIAllan Stephens2010-05-121-8/+8
| | | | | | | | | Eliminate comments in TIPC's main API files that are either obsolete, incorrect, misleading, or unhelpful. It also adds in one new comment.

* tipc: Remove unneeded parameter to tipc_createport_raw()Allan Stephens2008-07-141-10/+3
| | | | | | | | | | This patch eliminates an unneeded parameter when creating a low-level TIPC port object. Instead of returning both the pointer to the port structure and the port's reference ID, it now returns only the pointer since the port structure contains the reference ID as one of its fields.

* tipc: Fix race condition when creating socket or native portAllan Stephens2008-05-121-1/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | This patch eliminates the (very remote) chance of a crash resulting from a partially initialized socket or native port unexpectedly receiving a message. Now, during the creation of a socket or native port, the underlying generic port's lock is not released until all initialization required to handle incoming messages has been done.

* [TIPC]: Overhaul of socket locking logicAllan Stephens2008-04-151-0/+6
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch modifies TIPC's socket code to follow the same approach used by other protocols. This change eliminates the need for a mutex in the TIPC-specific portion of the socket protocol data structure -- in its place, the standard Linux socket backlog queue and associated locking routines are utilized. These changes fix a long-standing receive queue bug on SMP systems, and also enable individual read and write threads to utilize a socket without unnecessarily interfering with each other.

* [TIPC]: Removal of message header option codeAllan Stephens2008-03-061-7/+0
| | | | | | | | | | This patch removes code associated with optional, user-specified fields of the TIPC message header. Such fields were never utilized by TIPC, and have now been removed from the protocol specification. Signed-off-by: Allan Stephens <allan.stephens@windriver.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

* [TIPC]: Optimize stream send routine to avoid fragmentationAllan Stephens2007-07-101-2/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch enhances TIPC's stream socket send routine so that it avoids transmitting data in chunks that require fragmentation and reassembly, thereby improving performance at both the sending and receiving ends of the connection. The "maximum packet size" hint that records MTU info allows the socket to decide how big a chunk it should send; in the event that the hint has become stale, fragmentation may still occur, but the data will be passed correctly and the hint will be updated in time for the following send. Note: The 66060 byte pseudo-MTU used for intra-node connections requires the send routine to perform an additional check to ensure it does not exceed TIPC"s limit of 66000 bytes of user data per chunk.
