Tuong Lien c0b14a0854 tipc: fix missing Name entries due to half-failover 
TIPC link can temporarily fall into "half-establish" that only one of
the link endpoints is ESTABLISHED and starts to send traffic, PROTOCOL
messages, whereas the other link endpoint is not up (e.g. immediately
when the endpoint receives ACTIVATE_MSG, the network interface goes
down...).

This is a normal situation and will be settled because the link
endpoint will be eventually brought down after the link tolerance time.

However, the situation will become worse when the second link is
established before the first link endpoint goes down,
For example:

   1. Both links <1A-2A>, <1B-2B> down
   2. Link endpoint 2A up, but 1A still down (e.g. due to network
      disturbance, wrong session, etc.)
   3. Link <1B-2B> up
   4. Link endpoint 2A down (e.g. due to link tolerance timeout)
   5. Node B starts failover onto link <1B-2B>

   ==> Node A does never start link failover.

When the "half-failover" situation happens, two consequences have been
observed:

a) Peer link/node gets stuck in FAILINGOVER state;
b) Traffic or user messages that peer node is trying to failover onto
the second link can be partially or completely dropped by this node.

The consequence a) was actually solved by commit c140eb166d ("tipc:
fix failover problem"), but that commit didn't cover the b). It's due
to the fact that the tunnel link endpoint has never been prepared for a
failover, so the 'l->drop_point' (and the other data...) is not set
correctly. When a TUNNEL_MSG from peer node arrives on the link,
depending on the inner message's seqno and the current 'l->drop_point'
value, the message can be dropped (- treated as a duplicate message) or
processed.
At this early stage, the traffic messages from peer are likely to be
NAME_DISTRIBUTORs, this means some name table entries will be missed on
the node forever!

The commit resolves the issue by starting the FAILOVER process on this
node as well. Another benefit from this solution is that we ensure the
link will not be re-established until the failover ends.

README 

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
