Subject: RE: [RFC PATCH] net/tipc: reduce tipc_node lock holding time in
 tipc_rcv

No, you cannot do that. As I said before, the link status (including l->state) needs to be protected by node lock.
What I showed you were just 2 use cases (link reset/delete). There are more use cases (netlink, transmit path etc) that need proper locks.
