To ensure this, the concerned link endpoints are set to state LINK_FAILINGOVER, and the node endpoints to NODE_FAILINGOVER during the failover period. However, if the link reset is due to a disabled bearer, the corres- ponding link endpoint is deleted, and only the node endpoint knows about the ongoing failover. Now, if the disabled bearer is re-enabled during the failover period, the discovery mechanism may create a new link endpoint that is ready to be established, despite that this is not permitted. This situation may cause both the ongoing failover and any subsequent link synchronization to fail. In this commit, we ensure that a newly created link goes directly to state LINK_FAILINGOVER if the corresponding node state is NODE_FAILINGOVER. This eliminates the problem described above. Furthermore, we tighten the criteria for which packets are allowed to end a failover state in the function tipc_node_check_state(). By checking that the receiving link is up and running, instead of just checking that it is not in failover mode, we eliminate the risk that protocol packets from the re-created link may cause the failover to be prematurely terminated.
