OK indeed, got it here for reference :

  https://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/davem/net-next.git/commit/?id=7216cd949c9bd56

But anyway, what is mentionned in this commit is a number of changes that
happened between 2.6.32 and 3.15, so I hardly see how the tipc_net_lock
is obsolete in 2.6.32 if it does not have all these changes. I have counted
489 commits between 2.6.32 and 3.15-rc5 touching net/tipc, so surely we
cannot count on what we have to get rid of this lock.

Am I missing anything ?

Thanks,
Willy
