The current criteria for returning POLLOUT from a group member socket is too simplistic. It basically returns POLLOUT as soon as the group has external destinations, something obviously leading to a lot of spinning during destination congestion situations. At the same time, the internal congestion handling is unnecessarily complex. We now change this as follows. - We introduce an 'open' flag in struct tipc_group. This flag is used only to help poll() get the setting of POLLOUT right, and *not* for congeston handling as such. This means that a user can choose to ignore an EAGAIN for a destination and go on sending messages to other destinations in the group if he wants to. - The flag is set to false every time we return EAGAIN on a send call. - The flag is set to true every time any member, i.e., not necessarily the member that caused EAGAIN, is removed from the small_win list. - We remove the group member 'usr_pending' flag. The size of the send window and presence in the 'small_win' list is sufficient criteria for recognizing congestion. This solution seems to be a reasonable compromise between 'anycast', which is normally not waiting for POLLOUT for a specific destination, and the other three send modes, which are.
