    tipc: purge backlog queue counters when broadcast link is reset · 7d967b67
    Jon Paul Maloy 提交于
    In commit 1f66d161
    ("tipc: introduce starvation free send algorithm")
    we introduced a counter per priority level for buffers
    in the link backlog queue. We also introduced a new
    function tipc_link_purge_backlog(), to reset these
    counters to zero when the link is reset.
    
    Unfortunately, we missed to call this function when
    the broadcast link is reset, with the result that the
    values of these counters might be permanently skewed
    when new nodes are attached. This may in the worst case
    lead to permananent, but spurious, broadcast link
    congestion, where no broadcast packets can be sent at
    all.
    
    We fix this bug with this commit.
