tipc: merge link->exec_mode and link->state into one FSM
Until now, we have been handling link failover and synchronization by using an additional link state variable, "exec_mode". This variable is not independent of the link FSM state, something causing a risk of inconsistencies, apart from the fact that it clutters the code. The conditions are now in place to define a new link FSM that covers all existing use cases, including failover and synchronization, and eliminate the "exec_mode" field altogether. The FSM must also support non-atomic resetting of links, which will be introduced later. The new link FSM is shown below, with 7 states and 8 events. Only events leading to state change are shown as edges. +------------------------------------+ |RESET_EVT | | | | +--------------+ | +-----------------| SYNCHING |-----------------+ | |FAILURE_EVT +--------------+ PEER_RESET_EVT| | | A | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |SYNCH_ |SYNCH_ | | | |BEGIN_EVT |END_EVT | | | | | | | V | V V | +-------------+ +--------------+ +------------+ | | RESETTING |<---------| ESTABLISHED |--------->| PEER_RESET | | +-------------+ FAILURE_ +--------------+ PEER_ +------------+ | | EVT | A RESET_EVT | | | | | | | | | | | | | +--------------+ | | | RESET_EVT| |RESET_EVT |ESTABLISH_EVT | | | | | | | | | | | | V V | | | +-------------+ +--------------+ RESET_EVT| +--->| RESET |--------->| ESTABLISHING |<----------------+ +-------------+ PEER_ +--------------+ | A RESET_EVT | | | | | | | |FAILOVER_ |FAILOVER_ |FAILOVER_ |BEGIN_EVT |END_EVT |BEGIN_EVT | | | V | | +-------------+ | | FAILINGOVER |<----------------+ +-------------+ These changes are fully backwards compatible.
