    tipc: clean up connection protocol reception function · ac0074ee
    Jon Paul Maloy 提交于
    We simplify the code for receiving connection probes, leveraging the
    recently introduced tipc_msg_reverse() function. We also stick to
    the principle of sending a possible response message directly from
    the calling (tipc_sk_rcv or backlog_rcv) functions, hence making
    the call chain shallower and easier to follow.
    
    We make one small protocol change here, allowed according to
    the spec. If a protocol message arrives from a remote socket that
    is not the one we are connected to, we are currently generating a
    connection abort message and send it to the source. This behavior
    is unnecessary, and might even be a security risk, so instead we
    now choose to only ignore the message. The consequnce for the sender
    is that he will need longer time to discover his mistake (until the
    next timeout), but this is an extreme corner case, and may happen
    anyway under other circumstances, so we deem this change acceptable.
