[tipc-discussion] Questions about broadcast link link reset.

[jason <huz...@gm...>]

Hi All,

When sending say a NAME_DISTRIBUTOR message through broadcast pseudo link
and reach the queue limits(which is 3000), the following call graph can
happen:

tipc_bclink_send_msg(buf) -> tipc_link_send_buf (bcl,buf) ->
tipc_link_reset(bcl) -> ...  (I produce it by decrease the queue limit)


My questions are:
1) Why we call tipc_link_reset if importance is greater than CONN_MANAGER?
Can you point me the background knowledge?
2) Why not hold the tipc_node_lock while access the pseudo link/node like
other paths such as tipc_bclink_recv_pkt  do?


Thanks!
