[Ocfs2-devel] [PATCH 1/1] ocfs2/o2net: incorrect to terminate accepting connections loop upon rejecting an ivalid one Orabug: 17489469

[Tariq Saeed <tariq.x.saeed@oracle.com>]

When o2net-accept-one() rejects an illegal connection,
it terminates the loop picking up the remaining queued connections.
This fix will continue accepting connections till the queue is
emtpy.
