This patch introduce to make a tcp lowcomms connection reliable even if reconnects occurs. This is done by an application layer re-transmission handling and sequence numbers in dlm protocols. There are three new dlm commands: DLM_OPTS: This will encapsulate an existing dlm message (and rcom message if they don't have an own application side re-transmission handling). As optional handling additional tlv's (type length fields) can be appended. This can be for example a sequence number field. However because in DLM_OPTS the lockspace field is unused and a sequence number is a mandatory field it isn't made as a tlv and we put the sequence number inside the lockspace id. The possibility to add optional options are still there for future purposes. DLM_ACK: Just a dlm header to acknowledge the receive of a DLM_OPTS message to it's sender. DLM_FIN: This provides a 4 way handshake for connection termination inclusive support for half-closed connections. It's provided on application layer because SCTP doesn't support half-closed sockets, the shutdown() call can interrupted by e.g. TCP resets itself and a hard logic to implement it because the othercon paradigm in lowcomms. The 4-way termination handshake also solve problems to synchronize peer EOF arrival and that the cluster manager removes the peer in the node membership handling of DLM. In some cases messages can be still transmitted in this time and we need to wait for the node membership event. To provide a reliable connection the node will retransmit all unacknowledges message to it's peer on reconnect. The receiver will then filtering out the next received message and drop all messages which are duplicates. As RCOM_STATUS and RCOM_NAMES messages are the first messages which are exchanged and they have they own re-transmission handling, there exists logic that these messages must be first. If these messages arrives we store the dlm version field. This handling is on DLM 3.1 and after this patch 3.2 the same. A backwards compatibility handling has been added which seems to work on tests without tcpkill, however it's not recommended to use DLM 3.1 and 3.2 at the same time, because DLM 3.2 tries to fix long term bugs in the DLM protocol.

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.
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.
