In commit 42b531de17d2f6 ("tipc: Fix missing connection request
handling"), we replaced unconditional wakeup() with condtional
wakeup for clients with flags POLLIN | POLLRDNORM | POLLRDBAND.

This breaks the applications which do a connect followed by poll
with POLLOUT flag. These applications are not woken when the
connection is ESTABLISHED and hence sleep forever.

In this commit, we fix it by including the POLLOUT event for
sockets in TIPC_CONNECTING state.

In the function tipc_sk_mcast_rcv() we call refcount_dec(&amp;skb-&gt;users)
on received sk_buffers. Since the reference counter might hit zero at
this point, we have a potential memory leak.

We fix this by replacing refcount_dec() with kfree_skb().

In preparation for unconditionally passing the struct timer_list pointer to

to pass the timer pointer explicitly.

The function tipc_sk_timeout() is more complex than necessary, and
even seems to contain an undetected bug. At one of the occurences
where we renew the timer we just order it with (HZ / 20), instead
of (jiffies + HZ / 20);

In this commit we clean up the function.

In commit ae236fb208a6 ("tipc: receive group membership events via
member socket") we broke the tipc_poll() function by checking the
state of the receive queue before the call to poll_sock_wait(), while
relying that state afterwards, when it might have changed.

We restore this in this commit.

<title>tipc: guarantee delivery of UP event before first broadcast</title>

The following scenario is possible:
- A user joins a group, and immediately sends out a broadcast message
  to its members.
- The broadcast message, following a different data path than the
  initial JOIN message sent out during the joining procedure, arrives
  to a receiver before the latter..
- The receiver drops the message, since it is not ready to accept any
  messages until the JOIN has arrived.

We avoid this by treating group protocol JOIN messages like unicast
messages.
- We let them pass through the recipient's multicast input queue, just
  like ordinary unicasts.
- We force the first following broadacst to be sent as replicated
  unicast and being acknowledged by the recipient before accepting
  any more broadcast transmissions.

<title>tipc: guarantee that group broadcast doesn't bypass group unicast</title>

<content type='text'>
We need a mechanism guaranteeing that group unicasts sent out from a
socket are not bypassed by later sent broadcasts from the same socket.
We do this as follows:

- Each time a unicast is sent, we set a the broadcast method for the
  socket to "replicast" and "mandatory". This forces the first
  subsequent broadcast message to follow the same network and data path
  as the preceding unicast to a destination, hence preventing it from
  overtaking the latter.

- In order to make the 'same data path' statement above true, we let
  group unicasts pass through the multicast link input queue, instead
  of as previously through the unicast link input queue.

- In the first broadcast following a unicast, we set a new header flag,
  requiring all recipients to immediately acknowledge its reception.

- During the period before all the expected acknowledges are received,
  the socket refuses to accept any more broadcast attempts, i.e., by
  blocking or returning EAGAIN. This period should typically not be
  longer than a few microseconds.

- When all acknowledges have been received, the sending socket will
  open up for subsequent broadcasts, this time giving the link layer
  freedom to itself select the best transmission method.

- The forced and/or abrupt transmission method changes described above
  may lead to broadcasts arriving out of order to the recipients. We
  remedy this by introducing code that checks and if necessary
  re-orders such messages at the receiving end.

Group unicast messages don't follow the same path as broadcast messages,
and there is a high risk that unicasts sent from a socket might bypass
previously sent broadcasts from the same socket.

We fix this by letting all unicast messages carry the sequence number of
the next sent broadcast from the same node, but without updating this
number at the receiver. This way, a receiver can check and if necessary
re-order such messages before they are added to the socket receive buffer.

The previously introduced message transport to all group members is
based on the tipc multicast service, but is logically a broadcast
service within the group, and that is what we call it.

We now add functionality for sending messages to all group members
having a certain identity. Correspondingly, we call this feature 'group
multicast'. The service is using unicast when only one destination is
found, otherwise it will use the bearer broadcast service to transfer
the messages. In the latter case, the receiving members filter arriving
messages by looking at the intended destination instance. If there is
no match, the message will be dropped, while still being considered
received and read as seen by the flow control mechanism.
