From 3175bd9add570f3b5c06877369897b334556a2ff Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Allan Stephens Date: Fri, 28 Oct 2011 12:03:00 -0400 Subject: [PATCH] tipc: Eliminate alteration of publication key during name table purging Removes code that alters the publication key of a name table entry that is being forcibly purged from TIPC's name table after contact with the publishing node has been lost. Current TIPC ensures that all defunct names are purged before re-establishing contact with a failed node. There used to be a risk that the publication might be accidentally deleted because it might be re-added to the name table before the purge operation was completed. But now there is no longer a need to ensure that the new key is different than the old one.
