From d762d038497c9df51c19fcbe69b094b3bf8e5568 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Christoph Schulz Date: Tue, 15 Jul 2014 11:51:03 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] net: ppp: reset nextseq counter when enabling SC_MULTILINK If using a demand-dialled PPP unit for a PPP multilink master, the pppd daemon needs to reset the sequence counter between two connections. This allows the daemon to reuse the PPP unit instead of destroying and recreating it. As there is no API to reset the counter, this patch resets the counter whenever the SC_MULTILINK flag is set.
