In some virtual environments we observe a significant higher number of packet reordering and delays than we have been used to traditionally. This makes it necessary with stricter checks on incoming link protocol messages' session number, which until now only has been validated for RESET messages. Since the other two message types, ACTIVATE and STATE messages also carry this number, it is easy to extend the validation check to those messages. We also introduce a flag indicating if a link has a valid peer session number or not. This eliminates the mixing of 32- and 16-bit arithmethics we are currently using to achieve this.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
