We fix a very real starvation problem that may occur when a link
encounters send buffer congestion. At the same time we make the
interaction between the socket and link layer simpler and more
consistent.
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
