No problem,  Most of what I identified I don't think is strictly a tipc related
issue, they're more just correct usage of various primitives (i.e. don't
initalize a work queue every time right before you schedule it), and use
list_add/list_del, instead of just munging data structures onto a list).  Most
looks pretty easy to correct I think.  Allan can probably help you out if tipc
specific knoweldge is needed.
