Jon Paul Maloy 40501f90ed tipc: don't reset stale broadcast send link
When the broadcast send link after 100 attempts has failed to
transfer a packet to all peers, we consider it stale, and reset
it. Thereafter it needs to re-synchronize with the peers, something
currently done by just resetting and re-establishing all links to
all peers. This has turned out to be overkill, with potentially
unwanted consequences for the remaining cluster.

A closer analysis reveals that this can be done much simpler. When
this kind of failure happens, for reasons that may lie outside the
TIPC protocol, it is typically only one peer which is failing to
receive and acknowledge packets. It is hence sufficient to identify
and reset the links only to that peer to resolve the situation, without
having to reset the broadcast link at all. This solution entails a much
lower risk of negative consequences for the own node as well as for
the overall cluster.

We implement this change in this commit.

Linux kernel
============

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
