From: Paul Gortmaker <paul.gortmaker@windriver.com> Date: Mon, 17 Jun 2013 10:54:35 -0400 > This is a rework of the content sent earlier[1], with the following changes: > > -drop the Kconfig --> modparam conversion patch; this was > requested to be replaced[2] with a dynamic port quantity resizing. > Ying and Erik were discussing how best to achieve this, and then > vacation schedules got in the way, so implementing that will > come (hopefully) in the next round. > > -rework the sk_rcvbuf patch to allow memory resizing via sysctl > as per what Ying and Neil discussed[3] > > -add 4 more seemingly straigtforward and relatively small changes > from Ying (the last 4 in the series). > > -add cosmetic UAPI comment update patch from Ying. > > That said, the largest change is still the one where we make use of > the fact that linux supports kernel threads and do the server like > operations within kernel threads. As Jon says: > > We remove the last remnants of the TIPC native API, to make it > possible to simplify locking policy and solve a problem with lost > topology events. > > First, we introduce a socket-based alternative to the native API. > > Second, we convert the two remaining users of the native API, the > TIPC internal topology server and the configuarion server, to use the > new API. > > Third, we remove the remaining code pertaining to the native API. > > I have re-tested this collection of commits between 32 and 64 bit x86 > machines using the standard tipc test suite, and build tested for ppc.
