RE: [PATCH v2] tipc: initialise addr_trail_end when setting node addresses

[Jon Maloy]

I would re-phrase this a little:
We set the field 'addr_trial_end' to 'jiffies', instead of the current value 0,  at the moment the node address is initialized. 
This guarantees we don't inadvertently enter an address trial period when the node address is explicitly set by the user.
