Jon Paul Maloy 693c56491f tipc: don't send FIN message from connectionless socket
In commit 6f00089c73 ("tipc: remove SS_DISCONNECTING state") the
check for socket type is in the wrong place, causing a closing socket
to always send out a FIN message even when the socket was never
connected. This is normally harmless, since the destination node for
such messages most often is zero, and the message will be dropped, but
it is still a wrong and confusing behavior.

We fix this in this commit.

Linux kernel
============

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
