Subject: [PATCH 4.17 202/324] tipc: correct discovery message handling during address trial period

4.17-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

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

[ Upstream commit e415577f57f4452150642500364cbe5fa6112813 ]

With the duplicate address discovery protocol for tipc nodes addresses
we introduced a one second trial period before a node is allocated a
hash number to use as address.

Unfortunately, we miss to handle the case when a regular LINK REQUEST/
RESPONSE arrives from a cluster node during the trial period. Such
messages are not ignored as they should be, leading to links setup
attempts while the node still has no address.

Fixes: 25b0b9c4e835 ("tipc: handle collisions of 32-bit node address hash values")
