Jon Maloy b87a5ea31c tipc: guarantee group unicast doesn't bypass group broadcast
Group unicast messages don't follow the same path as broadcast messages,
and there is a high risk that unicasts sent from a socket might bypass
previously sent broadcasts from the same socket.

We fix this by letting all unicast messages carry the sequence number of
the next sent broadcast from the same node, but without updating this
number at the receiver. This way, a receiver can check and if necessary
re-order such messages before they are added to the socket receive buffer.

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

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

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.
