This saves the peer from detecting the failure via probing, and hence gives both speedier and less resource consuming failure detection on the peer side. According to the link FSM, a receiver of a RESET message, ignoring the reason for it, must now consider the sender ready to come back up, and starts periodically sending out ACTIVATE messages to the peer in order to re-establish the link. Also, according to the FSM, the receiver of an ACTIVATE message can now go directly to state ESTABLISHED and start sending regular traffic packets. This is a well-proven and robust FSM. However, in the case of a reboot, there is a small possibilty that link endpoint on the rebooted node may have been re-created with a new bearer identity between the moment it sent its (pre-boot) RESET and the moment it receives the ACTIVATE from the peer. The new bearer identity cannot be known by the peer according to this scenario, since traffic headers don't convey such information. This is a problem, because both endpoints need to know the correct value of the peer's bearer id at any moment in time in order to be able to produce correct link events for their users. The only way to guarantee this is to enforce a full setup message exchange (RESET + ACTIVATE) even after the reboot, since those messages carry the bearer idientity in their header. In this commit we do this by introducing and setting a "stopping" bit in the header of the spontaneously generated RESET messages, informing the peer that the sender will not be immediately ready to re-establish the link. A receiver seeing this bit must act as if this were a locally detected connectivity failure, and hence has to go through a full two- way setup message exchange before any link can be re-established. Although never reported, this problem seems to have always been around. This protocol addition is fully backwards compatible. Acked-by: Ying Xue Signed-off-by: Jon Maloy Signed-off-by: David S.
