According to the link FSM, when a link endpoint got RESET_MSG (- a traditional one without the stopping bit) from its peer, it moves to PEER_RESET state and raises a LINK_DOWN event which then resets the link itself. Its state will become ESTABLISHING after the reset event and the link will be re-established soon after this endpoint starts to send ACTIVATE_MSG to the peer. There is no problem with this mechanism, however the link resetting has cleared the link 'in_session' flag (along with the other important link data such as: the link 'mtu') that was correctly set up at the 1st step (i.e. when this endpoint received the peer RESET_MSG). As a result, the link will become ESTABLISHED, but the 'in_session' flag is not set, and all STATE_MSG from its peer will be dropped at the link_validate_msg(). It means the link not synced and will sooner or later face a failure. Since the link reset action is obviously needed for a new link session (this is also true in the other situations), the problem here is that the link is re-established a bit too early when the link endpoints are not really in-sync yet. The commit forces a resync as already done in the previous commit 91986ee1 ("tipc: fix link session and re-establish issues") by simply varying the link 'peer_session' value at the link_reset().
