Subject: [net-next 0/3] tipc: improve interaction socket-link

We fix a very real starvation problem that may occur when a link
encounters send buffer congestion. At the same time we make the 
interaction between the socket and link layer simpler and more 
consistent.

Jon Maloy (3):
  tipc: unify tipc_wait_for_sndpkt() and tipc_wait_for_sndmsg()
    functions
  tipc: modify struct tipc_plist to be more versatile
  tipc: reduce risk of user starvation during link congestion
