Since commit 52666986 ("tipc: let broadcast packet reception use new link receive function") the broadcast send link state was meant to always be set to LINK_ESTABLISHED, since we don't need this link to follow the regular link FSM rules. It was also the intention that this state anyway shouldn't impact the run-time working state of the link, since the latter in reality is controlled by the number of registered peers. We have now discovered that this assumption is not quite correct. If the broadcast link is reset because of too many retransmissions, its state will inadvertently go to LINK_RESETTING, and never go back to LINK_ESTABLISHED, because the LINK_FAILURE event was not anticipated. This will work well once, but if it happens a second time, the reset on a link in LINK_RESETTING has has no effect, and neither the broadcast link nor the unicast links will go down as they should. Furthermore, it is confusing that the management tool shows that this link is in UP state when that obviously isn't the case. We now ensure that this state strictly follows the true working state of the link. The state is set to LINK_ESTABLISHED when the number of peers is non-zero, and to LINK_RESET otherwise.
