Hi! I'm not sure what you mean about the one timer issue. I don't see
any use of timer_setup() in net/tipc (and no recent conversions to the
older setup_timer() API). What's the preferred path for landing this
API conversion in net/tipc/?

And, just to note, these changes are almost entirely mechanical. The
only "special" case is in tipc_sk_timeout() where the argument needs
to be slightly adjusted to fetch the tsk from the sk again.

Thanks!
