Subject: [PATCH net-next 01/12] tipc: change socket buffer overflow control to respect sk_rcvbuf

From: Jon Maloy <jon.maloy@...csson.com>

As per feedback from the netdev community, we change the buffer
overflow protection algorithm in receiving sockets so that it
always respects the nominal upper limit set in sk_rcvbuf.

Instead of scaling up from a small sk_rcvbuf value, which leads to
violation of the configured sk_rcvbuf limit, we now calculate the
weighted per-message limit by scaling down from a much bigger value,
still in the same field, according to the importance priority of the
received message.
