Ying Xue says:

====================
tipc: purge signal handler infrastructure

When we delay some actions to be executed in asynchronous contexts,
these usually add unnecessary code complexities, and make their
behaviours unpredictable and indeterministic. Moreover, as the signal
handler infrastructure is first stopped when tipc module is removed,
this may cause some potential risks for us. For instance, although
signal handler is already stopped, some tipc components still submit
signal requests to signal handler infrastructure, which may lead to
some resources not to be released or freed correctly.

So the series aims to convert all actions being performed in tasklet
context asynchronously with interface provided by signal handler
infrastructure to be executed synchronously, thereby deleting the
whole infrastructure of signal handler.
