The function for checking if there is an node address conflict is
supposed to return a suggestion for a new address if it finds a
conflict, and zero otherwise. But in case the peer being checked
is previously unknown it does instead return a "suggestion" for
the checked address itself. This results in a DSC_TRIAL_FAIL_MSG
being sent unecessarily to the peer, and sometimes makes the trial
period starting over again.

The bpf syscall and selftests conflicts were trivial
overlapping changes.

The r8169 change involved moving the added mdelay from 'net' into a
different function.

A TLS close bug fix overlapped with the splitting of the TLS state
into separate TX and RX parts.  I just expanded the tests in the bug
fix from "ctx-&gt;conf == X" into "ctx-&gt;tx_conf == X &amp;&amp; ctx-&gt;rx_conf
== X".

When we get link properties through netlink interface with
tipc_nl_node_get_link(), we don't validate TIPC_NLA_LINK_NAME
attribute at all, instead we directly use it. As a consequence,
KMSAN detected the TIPC_NLA_LINK_NAME attribute was an uninitialized
value, and then posted the following complaint:

<title>tipc: introduce ioctl for fetching node identity</title>

<id>3e5cf362c34b14c8d01d19d4b821fb35e1779862</id>
<content type='text'>
After the introduction of a 128-bit node identity it may be difficult
for a user to correlate between this identity and the generated node
hash address.

We now try to make this easier by introducing a new ioctl() call for
fetching a node identity by using the hash value as key. This will
be particularly useful when we extend some of the commands in the
'tipc' tool, but we also expect regular user applications to need
this feature.

Commit 36a50a989ee8 ("tipc: fix infinite loop when dumping link monitor
summary") intended to fix a problem with user tool looping when max
number of bearers are enabled.

Unfortunately, the wrong version of the commit was posted, so the
problem was not solved at all.

This commit adds the missing part.

<title>tipc: confgiure and apply UDP bearer MTU on running links</title>

<id>682cd3cf946b66bace4aa1037f49f0093ff182ce</id>
<content type='text'>
Currently, we have option to configure MTU of UDP media. The configured
MTU takes effect on the links going up after that moment. I.e, a user
has to reset bearer to have new value applied across its links. This is
confusing and disturbing on a running cluster.

We now introduce the functionality to change the default UDP bearer MTU
in struct tipc_bearer. Additionally, the links are updated dynamically,
without any need for a reset, when bearer value is changed. We leverage
the existing per-link functionality and the design being symetrical to
the confguration of link tolerance.

MTU takes effect on the links going up after that moment. I.e, a user
has to reset bearer to have new value applied across its links. This is
confusing and disturbing on a running cluster.

We now introduce the functionality to change the default UDP bearer MTU
in struct tipc_bearer. Additionally, the links are updated dynamically,
without any need for a reset, when bearer value is changed. We leverage
the existing per-link functionality and the design being symetrical to
the confguration of link tolerance.

<title>tipc: fix infinite loop when dumping link monitor summary</title>

When configuring the number of used bearers to MAX_BEARER and issuing
command "tipc link monitor summary", the command enters infinite loop
in user space.

This issue happens because function tipc_nl_node_dump_monitor() returns
the wrong 'prev_bearer' value when all potential monitors have been
scanned.

The correct behavior is to always try to scan all monitors until either
the netlink message is full, in which case we return the bearer identity
of the affected monitor, or we continue through the whole bearer array
until we can return MAX_BEARERS. This solution also caters for the case
where there may be gaps in the bearer array.

<title>tipc: permit overlapping service ranges in name table</title>

With the new RB tree structure for service ranges it becomes possible to
solve an old problem; - we can now allow overlapping service ranges in
the table.

When inserting a new service range to the tree, we use 'lower' as primary
key, and when necessary 'upper' as secondary key.

Since there may now be multiple service ranges matching an indicated
'lower' value, we must also add the 'upper' value to the functions
used for removing publications, so that the correct, corresponding
range item can be found.

These changes guarantee that a well-formed publication/withdrawal item
from a peer node never will be rejected, and make it possible to
eliminate the problematic backlog functionality we currently have for
handling such cases.
