In commit 2f487712b893 ("tipc: guarantee that group broadcast doesn't bypass group unicast") we introduced a mechanism that requires the first (replicated) broadcast sent after a unicast to be acknowledged by all receivers before permitting sending of the next (true) broadcast.
The counter for keeping track of the number of acknowledges to expect is based on the tipc_group::member_cnt variable. But this misses that some of the known members may not be ready for reception, and will never acknowledge the message, either because they haven't fully joined the group or because they are leaving the group. Such members are identified by not fulfilling the condition tested for in the function tipc_group_is_enabled(). We now set the counter for the actual number of acks to receive at the moment the message is sent, by just counting the number of recipients satisfying the tipc_group_is_enabled() test.
