Date: Tue, 17 Aug 2010 17:00:08 -0400 From: Paul Gortmaker <paul.gortmaker@...driver.com> To: davem@...emloft.net Cc: netdev@...r.kernel.org, allan.stephens@...driver.com Subject: [PATCH net-next 06/14] tipc: Prevent crash when broadcast link cannot send to all nodes From: Allan Stephens <allan.stephens@...driver.com> 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).
