From 3e37ebb7183f0c4eb92a88c60657ac319c01b3e9 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Alexander Usyskin Date: Thu, 17 Jul 2014 10:53:34 +0300 Subject: [PATCH] mei: reset client connection state on timeout On connection timeout we leave the connecting client in connecting state. Since a new connection is stalled till previous connection is completed in this case no new connection is possible till the user space does release the file handle. Therefore on timeout we move the client to disconnected state.
