    tipc: Fix problem with missing link in "tipc-config -l" output · 9df3b7eb
    Allan Stephens authored
    Removes a race condition that could cause TIPC's internal counter
    of the number of links it has to neighboring nodes to have the
    incorrect value if two independent threads of control simultaneously
    create new link endpoints connecting to two different nodes using two
    different bearers. Such under counting would result in TIPC failing to
    list the final link(s) in its response to a configuration request to
    list all of the node's links. The counter is now updated atomically
    to ensure that simultaneous increments do not interfere with each
    other.
    
    Thanks go to Peter Butler <pbutler@pt.com> for his assistance in
    diagnosing and fixing this problem.
