Tuong Lien 382f598fb6 tipc: reduce duplicate packets for unicast traffic
For unicast transmission, the current NACK sending althorithm is over-
active that forces the sending side to retransmit a packet that is not
really lost but just arrived at the receiving side with some delay, or
even retransmit same packets that have already been retransmitted
before. As a result, many duplicates are observed also under normal
condition, ie. without packet loss.

One example case is: node1 transmits 1 2 3 4 10 5 6 7 8 9, when node2
receives packet #10, it puts into the deferdq. When the packet #5 comes
it sends NACK with gap [6 - 9]. However, shortly after that, when
packet #6 arrives, it pulls out packet #10 from the deferfq, but it is
still out of order, so it makes another NACK with gap [7 - 9] and so on
... Finally, node1 has to retransmit the packets 5 6 7 8 9 a number of
times, but in fact all the packets are not lost at all, so duplicates!

This commit reduces duplicates by changing the condition to send NACK,
also restricting the retransmissions on individual packets via a timer
of about 1ms. However, it also needs to say that too tricky condition
for NACKs or too long timeout value for retransmissions will result in
performance reducing! The criterias in this commit are found to be
effective for both the requirements to reduce duplicates but not affect
performance.

The tipc_link_rcv() is also improved to only dequeue skb from the link
deferdq if it is expected (ie. its seqno <= rcv_nxt).

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
