[tipc-discussion] [PATCH net-next v2 00/16] make tipc support namespace

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

This patchset aims to add net namespace support for TIPC stack.

Currently TIPC module declares the following global resources:
- TIPC network idenfication number
- TIPC node table
- TIPC bearer list table
- TIPC broadcast link
- TIPC socket reference table
- TIPC name service table
- TIPC node address
- TIPC service subscriber server
- TIPC random value
- TIPC netlink

In order that TIPC is aware of namespace, above each resource must be
allocated, initialized and destroyed inside per namespace. Therefore,
the major works of this patchset are to isolate these global resources
and make them private for each namespace. However, before these changes
come true, some necessary preparation works must be first done: convert
socket reference table with generic rhashtable, cleanup core.c and
core.h files, remove unnecessary wrapper functions for kernel timer
interfaces and so on.

v2 changes:
- Involve Patch #1 into the series
- Rebase the whole series on the latest net-next tree
- Use skb_orphan() to orphan a SKB buffer
- Fix a issue that nametbl_lock spin lock is not initialized
