This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled tipc: Add a missing case of TIPC_DIRECT_MSG type to the 5.6-stable tree which can be found at: http://www.kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/stable/stable-queue.git;a=summary The filename of the patch is: tipc-add-a-missing-case-of-tipc_direct_msg-type.patch and it can be found in the queue-5.6 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. >From 8b1e5b0a99f04bda2d6c85ecfe5e68a356c10914 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Hoang Le <hoang.h.le@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Thu, 26 Mar 2020 09:50:29 +0700 Subject: tipc: Add a missing case of TIPC_DIRECT_MSG type From: Hoang Le <hoang.h.le@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> commit 8b1e5b0a99f04bda2d6c85ecfe5e68a356c10914 upstream. In the commit f73b12812a3d ("tipc: improve throughput between nodes in netns"), we're missing a check to handle TIPC_DIRECT_MSG type, it's still using old sending mechanism for this message type. So, throughput improvement is not significant as expected. Besides that, when sending a large message with that type, we're also handle wrong receiving queue, it should be enqueued in socket receiving instead of multicast messages. Fix this by adding the missing case for TIPC_DIRECT_MSG.
