[Ocfs2-devel] [PATCH 1/3] ocfs2: o2net: don't shutdown connection when idle timeout

[Junxiao Bi <junxiao.bi@oracle.com>]

Some messages in the tcp queue maybe lost if we shutdown the connection
and reconnect when idle timeout. If packets lost and reconnect success,
then the ocfs2 cluster maybe hung.

To fix this, we can leave the connection there and do the fence decision
when idle timeout, if network recover before fence dicision is made, the
connection survive without lost any messages.

This bug can be saw when network state go bad. It may cause ocfs2 hung
forever if some packets lost. With this fix, ocfs2 will recover from
hung if network becomes good again.
