From af9946fde9983e1312e5bcda7d1658fee2a3cb1d Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jon Paul Maloy Date: Tue, 3 Feb 2015 08:59:20 -0500 Subject: [PATCH] tipc: separate link starting event from link timeout event When a new link instance is created, it is trigged to start by sending it a TIPC_STARTING_EVT, whereafter a regular link reset is applied to it. The starting event is codewise treated as a timeout event, and prompts a link RESET message to be sent to the peer node, carrying a link session identifier. The later link_reset() call nudges this session identifier, whereafter all subsequent RESET messages will be sent out with the new identifier. The latter session number overrides the former, causing the peer to unconditionally accept it irrespective of its current working state. We don't think that this causes any problem, but it is not in accordance with the protocol spec, and may cause confusion when debugging TIPC sessions. To avoid this, we make the starting event distinct from the subsequent timeout events, by not allowing the former to send out any RESET message. This eliminates the described problem.
