So in the forward porting of various tipc packages, I was constantly
getting this lockdep warning everytime I used tipc-config to set a network
address for the protocol:
[ INFO: possible circular locking dependency detected ]
2.6.33 #1
tipc-config/1326 is trying to acquire lock:
(ref_table_lock){+.-...}, at: [<ffffffffa0315148>] tipc_ref_discard+0x53/0xd4 [tipc]
but task is already holding lock:
(&(&entry->lock)->rlock#2){+.-...}, at: [<ffffffffa03150d5>] tipc_ref_lock+0x43/0x63 [tipc]
which lock already depends on the new lock.
the existing dependency chain (in reverse order) is:

Finally decided I should fix this. Its a straightforward inversion,
tipc_ref_acquire takes two locks in this order:
ref_table_lock
entry->lock
while tipc_deleteport takes them in this order:
entry->lock (via tipc_port_lock())
ref_table_lock (via tipc_ref_discard())
when the same entry is referenced, we get the above warning. The fix is equally
straightforward. Theres no real relation between the entry->lock and the
ref_table_lock (they just are needed at the same time), so move the entry->lock
aquisition in tipc_ref_acquire down, after we unlock ref_table_lock (this is
safe since the ref_table_lock guards changes to the reference table, and we've
already claimed a slot there. I've tested the below fix and confirmed that it
clears up the lockdep issue

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 (very remote) chance of a crash resulting
from a partially initialized socket or native port unexpectedly
receiving a message. Now, during the creation of a socket or native
port, the underlying generic port's lock is not released until all
initialization required to handle incoming messages has been done.

This patch is a largely cosmetic cleanup of the TIPC reference
table code.
- The object reference field in each table entry is now single
32-bit integer instead of a union of two 32-bit integers.
- Variable naming has been made more consistent.
- Error message output has been made more consistent.
- Useless #includes have been eliminated.

This patch converts the TIPC reference table locking routines
into non-inlined routines, since they are mainly called from
non-performance critical areas of TIPC and the added code
footprint incurred through inlining can no longer be justified.

locking init cleanups:
- convert " = SPIN_LOCK_UNLOCKED" to spin_lock_init() or DEFINE_SPINLOCK()
- convert rwlocks in a similar manner
this patch was generated automatically.
Motivation:
- cleanliness
- lockdep needs control of lock initialization, which the open-coded
variants do not give
- it's also useful for -rt and for lock debugging in general

Tried to run the new tipc stack through sparse.
Following patch fixes all cases where 0 was used
as replacement of NULL.
Use NULL to document this is a pointer and to silence sparse.
This brough sparse warning count down with 127 to 24 warnings.
