  • This patch revamps TIPC's print buffer subsystem to eliminate
    support for arbitrary chains of print buffers, which were
    rarely needed and difficult to use safely.

    In its place, print buffers can now be configured to echo their
    output to the system console. This provides an equivalent for
    the only chaining currently utilized by TIPC, in a faster and
    more compact manner.

  • This patch provides feedback to the user when TIPC is unable
    to set its log buffer to the requested size.

  • This patch simplifies & standardizes the way TIPC's print buffer
    log is resized. Code to terminate use of the log buffer is
    eliminated by simply setting the log buffer size to 0 bytes.

  • This change modifies TIPC's print buffer code as follows:
    1) Now supports small print buffers (min. size reduced from 512 bytes to 64)
    2) Now uses TIPC_NULL print buffer structure to indicate null device
    instead of NULL pointer (this simplified error handling)
    3) Fixed misuse of console buffer structure by tipc_dump()
    4) Added and corrected comments in various places
