    tipc: fix infinite loop when dumping link monitor summary · 36a50a98
    Tung Nguyen authored
    When configuring the number of used bearers to MAX_BEARER and issuing
    command "tipc link monitor summary", the command enters infinite loop
    in user space.
    
    This issue happens because function tipc_nl_node_dump_monitor() returns
    the wrong 'prev_bearer' value when all potential monitors have been
    scanned.
    
    The correct behavior is to always try to scan all monitors until either
    the netlink message is full, in which case we return the bearer identity
    of the affected monitor, or we continue through the whole bearer array
    until we can return MAX_BEARERS. This solution also caters for the case
    where there may be gaps in the bearer array.
