tipc: eliminate risk of double link_up events
When an ACTIVATE or data packet is received in a link in state ESTABLISHING, the link does not immediately change state to ESTABLISHED, but does instead return a LINK_UP event to the caller, which will execute the state change in a different lock context. This non-atomic approach incurs a low risk that we may have two LINK_UP events pending simultaneously for the same link, resulting in the final part of the setup procedure being executed twice. The only potential harm caused by this it that we may see two LINK_UP events issued to subsribers of the topology server, something that may cause confusion. This commit eliminates this risk by checking if the link is already up before proceeding with the second half of the setup. Signed-off-by: Jon Maloy <[email protected]> Signed-off-by: David S.
