tipc: eliminate race condition at multicast reception
In a previous commit in this series we resolved a race problem during unicast message reception. Here, we resolve the same problem at multicast reception. We apply the same technique: an input queue serializing the delivery of arriving buffers. The main difference is that here we do it in two steps. First, the broadcast link feeds arriving buffers into the tail of an arrival queue, which head is consumed at the socket level, and where destination lookup is performed. Second, if the lookup is successful, the resulting buffer clones are fed into a second queue, the input queue. This queue is consumed at reception in the socket just like in the unicast case. Both queues are protected by the same lock, -the one of the input queue. Reviewed-by: Ying Xue <ying.xue@windriver.com> Signed-off-by: Jon Maloy <jon.maloy@ericsson.com> Signed-off-by: David S.
