skb somehow dequeued out of inputq before processing, it causes to

Add checking skb valid before using.

<content type='text'>
In commit c55c8edafa91 ("tipc: smooth change between replicast and
broadcast") we introduced new method to eliminate the risk of message
reordering that happen in between different nodes.
Unfortunately, we forgot checking at receiving side to ignore intra node.

We fix this by checking and returning if arrived message from intra node.

<id>urn:sha1:c55c8edafa91139419ed011f7d036274ce96be0b</id>
<content type='text'>
Currently, a multicast stream may start out using replicast, because
there are few destinations, and then it should ideally switch to
L2/broadcast IGMP/multicast when the number of destinations grows beyond
a certain limit. The opposite should happen when the number decreases
below the limit.

To eliminate the risk of message reordering caused by method change,
a sending socket must stick to a previously selected method until it
enters an idle period of 5 seconds. Means there is a 5 seconds pause
in the traffic from the sender socket.

If the sender never makes such a pause, the method will never change,
and transmission may become very inefficient as the cluster grows.

With this commit, we allow such a switch between replicast and
broadcast without any need for a traffic pause.

Solution is to send a dummy message with only the header, also with
the SYN bit set, via broadcast or replicast. For the data message,
the SYN bit is set and sending via replicast or broadcast (inverse
method with dummy).

Then, at receiving side any messages follow first SYN bit message
(data or dummy message), they will be held in deferred queue until
another pair (dummy or data message) arrived in other link.

<title>tipc: support broadcast/replicast configurable for bc-link</title>

<id>urn:sha1:02ec6cafd78c2052283516afc74c309745d20271</id>
<content type='text'>
Currently, a multicast stream uses either broadcast or replicast as
transmission method, based on the ratio between number of actual
destinations nodes and cluster size.

However, when an L2 interface (e.g., VXLAN) provides pseudo
broadcast support, this becomes very inefficient, as it blindly
replicates multicast packets to all cluster/subnet nodes,
irrespective of whether they host actual target sockets or not.

The TIPC multicast algorithm is able to distinguish real destination
nodes from other nodes, and hence provides a smarter and more
efficient method for transferring multicast messages than
pseudo broadcast can do.

Because of this, we now make it possible for users to force
the broadcast link to permanently switch to using replicast,
irrespective of which capabilities the bearer provides,
or pretend to provide.
Conversely, we also make it possible to force the broadcast link
to always use true broadcast. While maybe less useful in
deployed systems, this may at least be useful for testing the
broadcast algorithm in small clusters.

We retain the current AUTOSELECT ability, i.e., to let the broadcast link
automatically select which algorithm to use, and to switch back and forth
between broadcast and replicast as the ratio between destination
node number and cluster size changes. This remains the default method.

Furthermore, we make it possible to configure the threshold ratio for
such switches. The default ratio is now set to 10%, down from 25% in the
earlier implementation.

tipc_bcast_init() is never called in atomic context.
It calls kzalloc() with GFP_ATOMIC, which is not necessary.
GFP_ATOMIC can be replaced with GFP_KERNEL.

This is found by a static analysis tool named DCNS written by myself.

<title>tipc: fall back to smaller MTU if allocation of local send skb fails</title>

<id>urn:sha1:4c94cc2d3d57a2e843ab10887f67faa82c2337f9</id>
<content type='text'>
When sending node local messages the code is using an 'mtu' of 66060
bytes to avoid unnecessary fragmentation. During situations of low
memory tipc_msg_build() may sometimes fail to allocate such large
buffers, resulting in unnecessary send failures. This can easily be
remedied by falling back to a smaller MTU, and then reassemble the
buffer chain as if the message were arriving from a remote node.

At the same time, we change the initial MTU setting of the broadcast
link to a lower value, so that large messages always are fragmented
into smaller buffers even when we run in single node mode. Apart from
obtaining the same advantage as for the 'fallback' solution above, this
turns out to give a significant performance improvement. This can
probably be explained with the __pskb_copy() operation performed on the
buffer for each recipient during reception. We found the optimal value
for this, considering the most relevant skb pool, to be 3744 bytes.

We often see a need for a linked list of destination identities,
sometimes containing a port number, sometimes a node identity, and
sometimes both. The currently defined struct u32_list is not generic
enough to cover all cases, so we extend it to contain two u32 integers
and rename it to struct tipc_dest_list.
