We fix a very real starvation problem that may occur when the link
level runs into send buffer congestion. At the same time we make the
interaction between the socket and link layer simpler and more
consistent.
v2: - Simplified link congestion check to only check against own
importance limit. This reduces the risk of higher levels
starving out lower levels.
Jon Maloy (3):
tipc: unify tipc_wait_for_sndpkt() and tipc_wait_for_sndmsg()
functions
tipc: modify struct tipc_plist to be more versatile
tipc: reduce risk of user starvation during link congestion
