This patchs origin is nexedi/neoppod!20. With recent changes on kirr/neo!2 and levin.zimmermann/wendelin.core@f546d836 we can already use WCFS with multiple master nodes in combination with this patch. Until we proceed in nexedi/neoppod!20 we can already use a NEO/py with this patch in order to test WCFS on our wind clone. --- Original patch content: When a node tries to connect to another node it initially sends a 'RequestIdentification' packet. The other node can either reply with 'AcceptIdentification' or in case of a secondary master with 'NotPrimaryMaster'. In the second case the message id differs from the initial requests message id. This makes it difficult in a multi-threaded implementation to proceed this answer: due to the different msg/connection - id the multi-threaded implementation tries to proceed this incoming message in a different thread, while the requesting thread waits forever for its peers reply. The most straightforward solution is to use the same connection - id for both possible answers to the 'RequestIdentification' packet. This doesn't break given NEO/py implementation and is only a small patch. A workaround in a multi-threaded implementation on the other hand seems to be much more complicated and time-consuming. Finally it also makes sense semantically, because "Message IDs are used to identify response packets" and in the given context the 'NotPrimaryMaster' *is* the de facto response of a 'RequestIdentification'. Because the msgid is the same now, '_ask' uses the 'PrimaryBootstrapHandler' (if it's the same connection) [1], so it may also be necessary to move 'notPrimaryMaster' to 'PrimaryBootstrapHandler'.
