    tipc: add support for broadcast rcv stats dumping · 03b6fefd
    Tuong Lien authored
    This commit enables dumping the statistics of a broadcast-receiver link
    like the traditional 'broadcast-link' one (which is for broadcast-
    sender). The link dumping can be triggered via netlink (e.g. the
    iproute2/tipc tool) by the link flag - 'TIPC_NLA_LINK_BROADCAST' as the
    indicator.
    
    The name of a broadcast-receiver link of a specific peer will be in the
    format: 'broadcast-link:<peer-id>'.
    
    For example:
    
    Link <broadcast-link:1001002>
      Window:50 packets
      RX packets:7841 fragments:2408/440 bundles:0/0
      TX packets:0 fragments:0/0 bundles:0/0
      RX naks:0 defs:124 dups:0
      TX naks:21 acks:0 retrans:0
      Congestion link:0  Send queue max:0 avg:0
    
    In addition, the broadcast-receiver link statistics can be reset in the
    usual way via netlink by specifying that link name in command.
    
    Note: the 'tipc_link_name_ext()' is removed because the link name can
    now be retrieved simply via the 'l->name'.
