    tipc: create broadcast transmission link at namespace init · 5fd9fd63
    Jon Paul Maloy 提交于
    The broadcast transmission link is currently instantiated when the
    network subsystem is started, i.e., on order from user space via netlink.
    
    This forces the broadcast transmission code to do unnecessary tests for
    the existence of the transmission link, as well in single mode node as
    in network mode.
    
    In this commit, we do instead create the link during initialization of
    the name space, and remove it when it is stopped. The fact that the
    transmission link now has a guaranteed longer life cycle than any of its
    potential clients paves the way for further code simplifcations
    and optimizations.
