We reduce the lasting time for a pending TX key to be active as well as for a passive RX key to be freed which generally helps speed up the key switching. It is not expected to be too fast but should not be too slow either. Also the key handling logic is simplified that a pending RX key will be removed automatically if it is found not working after a number of times; the probing for a pending TX key is now carried on a specific message user ('LINK_PROTOCOL' or 'LINK_CONFIG') which is more efficient than using a timer on broadcast messages, the timer is reserved for use later as needed. The kernel logs or 'pr***()' are now made as clear as possible to user. Some prints are added, removed or changed to the debug-level. The 'TIPC_CRYPTO_DEBUG' definition is removed, and the 'pr_debug()' is used instead which will be much helpful in runtime. Besides we also optimize the code in some other places as a preparation for later commits. v2: silent more kernel logs, also use 'info->extack' for a message emitted due to netlink operations instead (- David's comments).

Linux kernel ============ There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at: https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/ There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. 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.
