* tipc: add UDP remoteip dump to netlink APIRichard Alpe2016-08-271-0/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When using replicast a UDP bearer can have an arbitrary amount of remote ip addresses associated with it. This means we cannot simply add all remote ip addresses to an existing bearer data message as it might fill the message, leaving us with a truncated message that we can't safely resume. To handle this we introduce the new netlink command TIPC_NL_UDP_GET_REMOTEIP. This command is intended to be called when the bearer data message has the TIPC_NLA_UDP_MULTI_REMOTEIP flag set, indicating there are more than one remote ip (replicast).

* tipc: add the ability to get UDP options via netlinkRichard Alpe2016-08-271-0/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Add UDP bearer options to netlink bearer get message. This is used by the tipc user space tool to display UDP options. The UDP bearer information is passed using either a sockaddr_in or sockaddr_in6 structs. This means the user space receiver should intermediately store the retrieved data in a large enough struct (sockaddr_strage) before casting to the proper IP version type.

* tipc: introduce UDP replicastRichard Alpe2016-08-271-0/+44
This patch introduces UDP replicast. A concept where we emulate multicast by sending multiple unicast messages to configured peers. The purpose of replicast is mainly to be able to use TIPC in cloud environments where IP multicast is disabled. Using replicas to unicast multicast messages is costly as we have to copy each skb and send the copies individually.
