[tipc-discussion] [PATCH net-next v4 00/10] media/bearer changes part of "purge the big tipc_net lock"

[Ying X. <yin...@wi...>]

v4 changes:
- remove patch #2 (tipc: involve tipc_unregister_media routine)
- remove patch #7 (tipc: remove extern keywords from function
  declarations)
- rebase other patches on the latest net-next tree
- revise patch headers of patch #9 and patch #10 with Erik's
  suggestions.

v3 changes:
- add patch #1 and patch #7
- rebase v2 on the series of "[PATCH net-next v2 0/6]  tipc: some small
  patches" sbumitted by Ying at 9/29 and the patch of "[PATCH net-next
  1/1] tipc: simplify the link lookup routine" sent by Jon at 9/6.

v2 changes:
- revise changelogs of all relevant patches.
- drop the patch "[PATCH net-next v1 06/30] tipc: avoid to launch
  different thread to call link_state_event". As Jason said, it's
  meaningful to let tipc_link_start() run in tasklet context.
- merge patch "PATCH net-next v1 01/30] tipc: remove bearer setup
  works" into patch #4 (move registration of TIPC packet handler to
  media start).
- divide patch "PATCH net-next v1 10/30] tipc: convert static media
  array to hash list" into two patches like patch #2 and patch #3.
- merge patch #13 "[PATCH net-next v1 13/30] tipc: move functions of
  registering media into tipc_core_start routine", patch #14 "[PATCH
  net-next v1 14/30] tipc: eliminate tipc core net start/stop routines"
  and patch #15 "[PATCH net-next v1 15/30] tipc: use config_mutex to
  protect tipc_net_stop routine" to one patch #6.
- divide patch #16 into two patches: patch #7 and patch #8.
- add a new patch #9.
- now the mapping relationship between v1 and v2 will be:
  1. old patch #1 is to new patch #4;
  2. old patch #2, #3 and #4 are included into the small 
     non-controversial series;
  3. old patch #4 is dropped in the series.
  4. old patch #9 is mapped to patch #1.
  5. old patch #10 is divided into patch #2 and #3.
  6. old patch #11 is mapped to patch #4.
  7. old patch #12 is mapped to patch #5.
  8. old patch #13, #14 and #15 is patch #6.
  9. old patch #16 is divided into patch #7 and #8.
  10. old patch #17 is mapped to patch #10.
  11. the rest of patches in v1 will be sent out recently.
