From 641c218d120b03bdea4f658ab44930587cff9158 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Allan Stephens Date: Thu, 7 Apr 2011 09:54:43 -0400 Subject: [PATCH] tipc: Enhance filtering of out-dated link reset messages Ensure TIPC ignores an out-dated link reset message whose session number predates the current session number. (Previously, TIPC only ignored an out-date reset message whose session number was equal to the current link session number.) Out-dated link reset messages should not occur under normal circumstances; however, they can be generated if a link endpoint is unable to send a link reset message right away and queues it for later delivery, but the queued message is not sent until after the link is established. Thanks to Laser [gotolaser@gmail.com] for diagnosing the problem and contributing a prototype patch.
