Subject: [PATCH net-next 0/8] tipc: kill off struct print_buf/log

Dave,

The main thrust of what happens in this series is to deal with
the request you'd made a while ago about making it so TIPC did
not have its own specific (and complex) logging infrastructure.

It used to have tipc_printf taking an arg of this struct print_buf
thing, with a length field in it.  There was also a function to
set/validate string lengths etc.  So the approach was to first
wean off as many users of tipc_printf as possible (e.g. by deleting
old debug code, etc.) and then changing tipc_printf into something
much simpler that conveyed string lengths via normal return values
one would expect from snprintf-like functions.  Finally, with the
core code no longer using the print_buf struct, it and the log
code associated with it are removed.

A side bonus is that we get rid of a couple TIPC related Kconfig
options along the way, and about 600 lines of code too.

The folks at Ericsson did most of the work here, and I just
refactored things a bit and made a few suggestions here and there.
I've also run the server/client tests on this series atop of the
net-next baseline of 48ee3569f "ipv6: Move ipv6 twsk accessors
outside of CONFIG_IPV6 ifdefs."

If there no obvious problems spotted by anyone in the next day
or so, I would like to issue a pull request for these.

Thanks,
Paul.

Erik Hugne (5):
  tipc: use standard printk shortcut macros (pr_err etc.)
  tipc: remove TIPC packet debugging functions and macros
  tipc: simplify print buffer handling in tipc_printf
  tipc: phase out most of the struct print_buf usage
  tipc: remove print_buf and deprecated log buffer code

Paul Gortmaker (3):
  tipc: factor stats struct out of the larger link struct
  tipc: limit error messages relating to memory leak to one line
  tipc: simplify link_print by divorcing it from using tipc_printf
