From: Allan Stephens Date: Tue, 17 Aug 2010 11:00:08 +0000 (+0000) Subject: tipc: Prevent crash when broadcast link cannot send to all nodes X-Git-Url: https://git.stricted.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=7e3e5d0950559d1118dccbdff3c765fffcf04fd5;p=GitHub%2Fmoto-9609%2Fandroid_kernel_motorola_exynos9610.git tipc: Prevent crash when broadcast link cannot send to all nodes Allow TIPC's broadcast link to continue operation when it is unable to send a message to all nodes in the cluster. Previously, the broadcast link attempted to put the broadcast pseudo-bearer into a blocked state; however, this caused a crash because the associated bearer structure is only partially initialized. Further investigation has revealed some conceptual problems with blocking the pseudo-bearer; consequently, this functionality has been disabled for the time being and the undelivered message is eventually resent by the broadcast link's existing message retransmission mechanism (if possible).
