Merge branch 'tipc'
Paul Gortmaker says: ==================== 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.
