This patch eliminates a case where TIPC's link code could try reading
a field that is not present in a short message header. (The random
value obtained was not being used, but the read operation could result
in an invalid memory access exception in extremely rare circumstances.)

This patch enhances TIPC's handler for incoming messages in two
ways:
- the trivial, single-use routine for processing non-sequenced
messages has been merged into the main handler
- the interface that received a message is now identified without
having to access and/or modify the associated sk_buff

This patch introduces a new, out-of-range value to indicate that
a link endpoint does not have an existing session established
with its peer, eliminating the risk that the previously used
"invalid session number" value (i.e. zero) might eventually be
assigned as a valid session number and cause incorrect link
behavior.
The patch also introduces explicit bit masking when assigning a
new link session number to ensure it does not exceed 16 bits.

We are seeing an issue with TCP in handling an ICMP frag needed
message that is received after net.ipv4.tcp_retries1 retransmits.
The default value of retries1 is 3. So if the path mtu changes
and ICMP frag needed is lost for the first 3 retransmits or if
it gets delayed until 3 retransmits are done, TCP doesn't update
MSS correctly and continues to retransmit the orginal message
until it timesout after tcp_retries2 retransmits.
I am seeing this issue even with the latest 2.6.25.4 kernel.
In tcp_retransmit_timer(), when retransmits counter exceeds
tcp_retries1 value, the dst cache entry of the socket is reset.
At this time, if we receive an ICMP frag needed message, the
dst entry gets updated with the new MTU, but the TCP sockets
dst_cache entry remains NULL.
So the next time when we try to retransmit after the ICMP frag
needed is received, tcp_retransmit_skb() gets called. Here the
cur_mss value is calculated at the start of the routine with
a NULL sk_dst_cache. Instead we should call tcp_current_mss after
the rebuild_header that caches the dst entry with the updated mtu.
Also the rebuild_header should be called before tcp_fragment
so that skb is fragmented if the mss goes down.

This patch ensures that TIPC's topology service and configuration
service are shut down before switching into "network mode". This
ensures that TIPC does not mistakenly try to send unnecessary
"publication withdraw" messages to other nodes before it is fully
initialized for sending off-node messages. Note that the node's
current network address is now updated only after the two services
are shut down; this ensures that any existing connections to the
topology server are terminated correctly using the old address.

Because the IPsec output function xfrm_output_resume does its
own dst_output call it should always call __ip_local_output
instead of ip_local_output as the latter may invoke dst_output
directly. Otherwise the return values from nf_hook and dst_output
may clash as they both use the value 1 but for different purposes.
When that clash occurs this can cause a packet to be used after
it has been freed which usually leads to a crash. Because the
offending value is only returned from dst_output with qdiscs
such as HTB, this bug is normally not visible.
