Andrew Morton reported a build failure on sparc32, because TIPC
uses names like "struct node" and there is a like named data
structure defined in linux/node.h

This just regexp replaces "struct node*" to "struct tipc_node*"
to avoid this and any future similar problems.

<title>tipc: Eliminate improper use of TIPC_OK error code</title>

<content type='text'>
This patch corrects many places where TIPC routines indicated
successful completion by returning TIPC_OK instead of 0.
(The TIPC_OK symbol has the value 0, but it should only be used
in contexts that deal with the error code field of a TIPC
message header.)

This patch eliminates the rarely-used "error code" argument
when initializing a TIPC message header, since the default
value of zero is the desired result in most cases; the few
exceptional cases now set the error code explicitly.

This patch eliminates a case where TIPC's link code could try reading
a field that is not present in a short message header.  (The random
value obtained was not being used, but the read operation could result
in an invalid memory access exception in extremely rare circumstances.)

This patch enhances TIPC's handler for incoming messages in two
ways:
- the trivial, single-use routine for processing non-sequenced
  messages has been merged into the main handler
- the interface that received a message is now identified without
  having to access and/or modify the associated sk_buff

This patch introduces a new, out-of-range value to indicate that
a link endpoint does not have an existing session established
with its peer, eliminating the risk that the previously used
"invalid session number" value (i.e. zero) might eventually be
assigned as a valid session number and cause incorrect link
behavior.

The patch also introduces explicit bit masking when assigning a
new link session number to ensure it does not exceed 16 bits.

This patch modifies TIPC to only exclude debug-related print buffer
routines when debugging capabilities are not required.  It also
fixes up some related #defines that exceed 80 characters.

<content type='text'>
This patch ensures that TIPC properly handles incoming messages
that have incorrect or unexpected formats.  Most significantly,
it now ensures that each sl_buff has at least as much data as
the message header indicates it should, and that the entire
message header is stored contiguously; this prevents TIPC from
accidentally accessing memory that is not part of the sk_buff.

<title>[TIPC]: Force linearization of non-linear sk_buffs</title>

<content type='text'>
This patch allows TIPC to process incoming messages that are
stored in a fragmented sk_buff, by forcing the linearization
of any such messages it receives.

Note: This is an interim solution to allow TIPC to operate with
Ethernet devices that generate non-linear buffers (such as the
gianfar driver), until such time as the rest of TIPC is enhanced
to handle sk_buffs with multiple data areas.
