tipc: let function tipc_msg_reverse() expand header when needed
The shortest TIPC message header, for cluster local CONNECTED messages, is 24 bytes long. With this format, the fields "dest_node" and "orig_node" are optimized away, since they in reality are redundant in this particular case. However, the absence of these fields leads to code inconsistencies that are difficult to handle in some cases, especially when we need to reverse or reject messages at the socket layer. In this commit, we concentrate the handling of the absent fields to one place, by letting the function tipc_msg_reverse() reallocate the buffer and expand the header to 32 bytes when necessary. This means that the socket code now can assume that the two previously absent fields are present in the header when a message needs to be rejected. This opens up for some further simplifications of the socket code. Reviewed-by: Ying Xue <ying.xue@windriver.com> Signed-off-by: Jon Maloy <jon.maloy@ericsson.com> Signed-off-by: David S.
