From 323019069e8d96d87e9dba51f897060f94999821 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jon Paul Maloy Date: Thu, 22 Oct 2015 08:51:37 -0400 Subject: tipc: use explicit allocation of broadcast send link The broadcast link instance (struct tipc_link) used for sending is currently aggregated into struct tipc_bclink. This means that we cannot use the regular tipc_link_create() function for initiating the link, but do instead have to initiate numerous fields directly from the bcast_init() function. We want to reduce dependencies between the broadcast functionality and the inner workings of tipc_link. In this commit, we introduce a new function tipc_bclink_create() to link.c, and allocate the instance of the link separately using this function.
