    tipc: eliminate race condition at multicast reception · cb1b7280
    Jon Paul Maloy 提交于
    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.
