From 234833991e14681f61cbfd93e65a5c976089cf11 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jon Maloy Date: Mon, 18 Dec 2017 17:34:16 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] tipc: fix lost member events bug Group messages are not supposed to be returned to sender when the destination socket disappears. This is done correctly for regular traffic messages, by setting the 'dest_droppable' bit in the header. But we forget to do that in group protocol messages. This has the effect that such messages may sometimes bounce back to the sender, be perceived as a legitimate peer message, and wreak general havoc for the rest of the session. In particular, we have seen that a member in state LEAVING may go back to state RECLAIMED or REMITTED, hence causing suppression of an otherwise expected 'member down' event to the user. We fix this by setting the 'dest_droppable' bit even in group protocol messages. Signed-off-by: Jon Maloy Signed-off-by: David S.
