From fd556f209af53b9cdc45df8c467feb235376c4df Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jon Paul Maloy Date: Thu, 22 Oct 2015 08:51:40 -0400 Subject: tipc: introduce capability bit for broadcast synchronization Until now, we have tried to support both the newer, dedicated broadcast synchronization mechanism along with the older, less safe, RESET_MSG/ ACTIVATE_MSG based one. The latter method has turned out to be a hazard in a highly dynamic cluster, so we find it safer to disable it completely when we find that the former mechanism is supported by the peer node. For this purpose, we now introduce a new capabability bit, TIPC_BCAST_SYNCH, to inform any peer nodes that dedicated broadcast syncronization is supported by the present node. The new bit is conveyed between peers in the 'capabilities' field of neighbor discovery messages. Signed-off-by: Jon Maloy Reviewed-by: Ying Xue Signed-off-by: David S.
