    tipc: phase out most of the struct print_buf usage · dc1aed37
    Erik Hugne authored
    The tipc_printf is renamed to tipc_snprintf, as the new name
    describes more what the function actually does.  It is also
    changed to take a buffer and length parameter and return
    number of characters written to the buffer.  All callers of
    this function that used to pass a print_buf are updated.
    
    Final removal of the struct print_buf itself will be done
    synchronously with the pending removal of the deprecated
    logging code that also was using it.
    
    Functions that build up a response message with a list of
    ports, nametable contents etc. are changed to return the number
    of characters written to the output buffer. This information
    was previously hidden in a field of the print_buf struct, and
    the number of chars written was fetched with a call to
    tipc_printbuf_validate.  This function is removed since it
    is no longer referenced nor needed.
    
    A generic max size ULTRA_STRING_MAX_LEN is defined, named
    in keeping with the existing TIPC_TLV_ULTRA_STRING, and the
    various definitions in port, link and nametable code that
    largely duplicated this information are removed.  This means
    that amount of link statistics that can be returned is now
    increased from 2k to 32k.
    
    The buffer overflow check is now done just before the reply
    message is passed over netlink or TIPC to a remote node and
    the message indicating a truncated buffer is changed to a less
    dramatic one (less CAPS), placed at the end of the message.
