Subject[PATCH 4.17 201/324] tipc: fix wrong return value from function tipc_node_try_addr()
Date
4.17-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Jon Maloy <jon.maloy@ericsson.com>

[ Upstream commit 2a57f182420174c7fd4b19db979a2d135231a963 ]

The function for checking if there is an node address conflict is
supposed to return a suggestion for a new address if it finds a
conflict, and zero otherwise. But in case the peer being checked
is previously unknown it does instead return a "suggestion" for
the checked address itself. This results in a DSC_TRIAL_FAIL_MSG
being sent unecessarily to the peer, and sometimes makes the trial
period starting over again.

Fixes: 25b0b9c4e835 ("tipc: handle collisions of 32-bit node address hash values")
