tipc: Consolidate subscriber & subscriber port references
This patch modifies TIPC's network topology service so that it only requires a single reference table entry per subscriber connection, rather than two. This is achieved by letting the reference to the server port communicating with the subscriber act as the reference to the subscriber object itself. (Since the subscriber cannot exist without its port, and vice versa, this dual role for the reference is perfectly natural.) This consolidation reduces the size of the reference table by 50% in the default configuration. Signed-off-by: Allan Stephens <allan.stephens@windriver.com> Signed-off-by: David S.
