[ Upstream commit dca4a17d24ee9d878836ce5eb8dc25be1ffa5729 ]
In commit c55c8edafa91 ("tipc: smooth change between replicast and broadcast"), we allow instant switching between replicast and broadcast by sending a dummy 'SYN' packet on the last used link to synchronize packets on the links. The 'SYN' message is an object of link congestion also, so if that happens, a 'SOCK_WAKEUP' will be scheduled to be sent back to the socket... However, in that commit, we simply use the same socket 'cong_link_cnt' counter for both the 'SYN' & normal payload message sending. Therefore, if both the replicast & broadcast links are congested, the counter will be not updated correctly but overwritten by the latter congestion. Later on, when the 'SOCK_WAKEUP' messages are processed, the counter is reduced one by one and eventually overflowed. Consequently, further activities on the socket will only wait for the false congestion signal to disappear but never been met.
Because sending the 'SYN' message is vital for the mechanism, it should be done anyway. This commit fixes the issue by marking the message with an error code e.g. 'TIPC_ERR_NO_PORT', so its sending should not face a link congestion, there is no need to touch the socket 'cong_link_cnt' either. In addition, in the event of any error (e.g. -ENOBUFS), we will purge the entire payload message queue and make a return immediately.
