[PATCH net v2] tipc: fix message importance range check

From: <hidden>
Date: 2014-08-18 07:22:56
Subsystem: networking [general], the rest, tipc network layer · Maintainers: "David S. Miller", Eric Dumazet, Jakub Kicinski, Paolo Abeni, Linus Torvalds, Jon Maloy

From: Erik Hugne <redacted>

Commit 3b4f302d8578 ("tipc: eliminate
redundant locking") introduced a bug by removing the sanity check
for message importance, allowing programs to assign any value to
the msg_user field. This will mess up the packet reception logic
and may cause random link resets.

Signed-off-by: Erik Hugne <redacted>

v2: Fixed according to comments from Dmitry Popov, missing semicolon
and return 0 at end of function
