    tipc: fix link attribute propagation bug · d01332f1
    Richard Alpe 提交于
    Changing certain link attributes (link tolerance and link priority)
    from the TIPC management tool is supposed to automatically take
    effect at both endpoints of the affected link.
    
    Currently the media address is not instantiated for the link and is
    used uninstantiated when crafting protocol messages designated for the
    peer endpoint. This means that changing a link property currently
    results in the property being changed on the local machine but the
    protocol message designated for the peer gets lost. Resulting in
    property discrepancy between the endpoints.
    
    In this patch we resolve this by using the media address from the
    link entry and using the bearer transmit function to send it. Hence,
    we can now eliminate the redundant function tipc_link_prot_xmit() and
    the redundant field tipc_link::media_addr.
