Hi,

this is the final patch-series to make dlm reliable when reconnection
occurs. You can easily generate a couple of reconnections by running:

tcpkill -9 -i $IFACE port 21064

on your own to test these patches. At some time dlm will detect message
drops and will retransmit messages if necessary. It introduces a new dlm
protocol behaviour and increases the dlm protocol version. I tested it
with SCTP as well and tried to be backwardscompatible with dlm protocol
version 3.1. However I don't recommend at all to not mix these versions
in a setup since dlm version 3.2 fixes long-term issues.
