    sctp: do state transition when PROBE_COUNT == MAX_PROBES on HB send path · 1dc68c19
    Xin Long authored
    The state transition is described in rfc8899#section-5.2,
    PROBE_COUNT == MAX_PROBES means the probe fails for MAX times, and the
    state transition includes:
    
      - Base -> Error, occurs when BASE_PLPMTU Confirmation Fails,
        pl.pmtu is set to SCTP_MIN_PLPMTU,
        probe_size is still SCTP_BASE_PLPMTU;
    
      - Search -> Base, occurs when Black Hole Detected,
        pl.pmtu is set to SCTP_BASE_PLPMTU,
        probe_size is set back to SCTP_BASE_PLPMTU;
    
      - Search Complete -> Base, occurs when Black Hole Detected
        pl.pmtu is set to SCTP_BASE_PLPMTU,
        probe_size is set back to SCTP_BASE_PLPMTU;
    
    Note a black hole is encountered when a sender is unaware that packets
    are not being delivered to the destination endpoint. So it includes the
    probe failures with equal probe_size to pl.pmtu, and definitely not
    include that with greater probe_size than pl.pmtu. The later one is the
    normal probe failure where probe_size should decrease back to pl.pmtu
    and pl.probe_high is set.  pl.probe_high would be used on HB ACK recv
    path in the next patch.
