tipc: introduce message to synchronize broadcast link
Upon establishing a first link between two nodes, there is currently a risk that the two endpoints will disagree on exactly which sequence number reception and acknowleding of broadcast packets should start. The following scenarios may happen: 1: Node A sends an ACTIVATE message to B, telling it to start acking packets from sequence number N. 2: Node A sends out broadcast N, but does not expect an acknowledge from B, since B is not yet in its broadcast receiver's list. 3: Node A receives ACK for N from all nodes except B, and releases packet N. 4: Node B receives the ACTIVATE, activates its link endpoint, and stores the value N as sequence number of first expected packet. 5: Node B sends a NAME_DISTR message to A. 6: Node A receives the NAME_DISTR message, and activates its endpoint. At this moment B is added to A's broadcast receiver's set. Node A also sets sequence number 0 as the first broadcast packet to be received from B. 7: Node A sends broadcast N+1. 8: B receives N+1, determines there is a gap in the sequence, since it is expecting N, and sends a NACK for N back to A. 9: Node A has already released N, so no retransmission is possible. The broadcast link in direction A->B is stale. In addition to, or instead of, 7-9 above, the following may happen: 10: Node B sends broadcast M > 0 to A. 11: Node A receives M, falsely decides there must be a gap, since it is expecting packet 0, and asks for retransmission of packets [0,M-1]. 12: Node B has already released these packets, so the broadcast link is stale in direction B->A. We solve this problem by introducing a new unicast message type, BCAST_PROTOCOL/STATE, to convey the sequence number of the next sent broadcast packet to the other endpoint, at exactly the moment that endpoint is added to the own node's broadcast receivers list, and before any other unicast messages are permitted to be sent. Furthermore, we don't allow any node to start receiving and processing broadcast packets until this new synchronization message has been received. To maintain backwards compatibility, we still open up for broadcast reception if we receive a NAME_DISTR message without any preceding broadcast sync message. In this case, we must assume that the other end has an older code version, and will never send out the new synchronization message. Hence, for mixed old and new nodes, the issue arising in 7-12 of the above may happen with the same probability as before.
