    tipc: add packet sequence number at instant of transmission · dd3f9e70
    Jon Paul Maloy authored
    Currently, the packet sequence number is updated and added to each
    packet at the moment a packet is added to the link backlog queue.
    This is wasteful, since it forces the code to traverse the send
    packet list packet by packet when adding them to the backlog queue.
    It would be better to just splice the whole packet list into the
    backlog queue when that is the right action to do.
    
    In this commit, we do this change. Also, since the sequence numbers
    cannot now be assigned to the packets at the moment they are added
    the backlog queue, we do instead calculate and add them at the moment
    of transmission, when the backlog queue has to be traversed anyway.
    We do this in the function tipc_link_push_packet().
