Resetting a bearer/interface, with the consequence of resetting all its pertaining links, is not an atomic action. This becomes particularly evident in very large clusters, where a lot of traffic may happen on the remaining links while we are busy shutting them down. In extreme cases, we may even see links being re-created and re-established before we are finished with the job. To solve this, we now introduce a solution where we temporarily detach the bearer from the interface when the bearer is reset. This inhibits all packet reception, while sending still is possible. For the latter, we use the fact that the device's user pointer now is zero to filter out which packets can be sent during this situation; i.e., outgoing RESET messages only. This filtering serves to speed up the neighbors' detection of the loss event, and saves us from unnecessary probing.
