    tipc: use registry when scanning sockets · 5a9ee0be
    Jon Paul Maloy 提交于
    The functions tipc_port_get_ports() and tipc_port_reinit() scan over
    all sockets/ports to access each of them. This is done by using a
    dedicated linked list, 'tipc_socks' where all sockets are members. The
    list is in turn protected by a spinlock, 'port_list_lock', while each
    socket is locked by using port_lock at the moment of access.
    
    In order to reduce complexity and risk of deadlock, we want to get
    rid of the linked list and the accompanying spinlock.
    
    This is what we do in this commit. Instead of the linked list, we use
    the port registry to scan across the sockets. We also add usage of
    bh_lock_sock() inside the scope of port_lock in both functions, as a
    preparation for the complete removal of port_lock.
    
    Finally, we move the functions from port.c to socket.c, and rename them
    to tipc_sk_sock_show() and tipc_sk_reinit() repectively.
