In the current implementation, each 'struct tipc_node' instance keeps a linked list of those ports/sockets that are connected to the node represented by that struct. The purpose of this is to let the node object know which sockets to alert when it loses contact with its peer node, i.e., which sockets need to have their connections aborted. This entails an unwanted direct reference from the node structure back to the port/socket structure, and a need to grab port_lock when we have to make an upcall to the port. We want to get rid of this unecessary BH entry point into the socket, and also eliminate its use of port_lock. In this commit, we instead let the node struct keep list of "connected socket" structs, which each represents a connected socket, but is allocated independently by the node at the moment of connection. If the node loses contact with its peer node, the list is traversed, and a "connection abort" message is created for each entry in the list. The message is sent to it respective connected socket using the ordinary data path, and the receiving socket aborts its connections upon reception of the message. This enables us to get rid of the direct reference from 'struct node' to ´struct port', and another unwanted BH access point to the latter.
