Subject: Prevent large amounts of UDP probes being sent consecutively.
X-Git-Url: https://git.librecmc.org/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=017a7fb57655d9b1d706ee78f7e3d0000411b883;p=oweals%2Ftinc.git

Prevent large amounts of UDP probes being sent consecutively.

We cannot reset udp_ping_sent to zero when we receive a valid reply to
an UDP probe, because that would cause a new one to be sent immediately
in try_udp(). Instead, add a bit to node_status_t to keep track of whether we
have a UDP probe that's waiting for a reply.

Thanks to Ronny Nilsson for spotting the source of the problem.
