From de7e07f9ee14f47d05aa43046404c2904f0247dc Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jon Paul Maloy Date: Fri, 15 Apr 2016 13:33:06 -0400 Subject: [PATCH] tipc: ensure that first packets on link are sent in order In some link establishment scenarios we see that packet #2 may be sent out before packet #1, forcing the receiver to demand retransmission of the missing packet. This is harmless, but may cause confusion among people tracing the packet flow. Since this is extremely easy to fix, we do so by adding en extra send call to the bearer immediately after the link has come up. Acked-by: Ying Xue Signed-off-by: Jon Maloy Signed-off-by: David S.
