Sorry for that. OK. Thanks! I appreciate your work! Code needs to have specialist developers like you to keep it alive and evolving. I understand you have limited time. Please take your time. Thanks!

We can solve this later a little bit cleaner if necessary. My patch that takes care of the orphaned packets in x25_receive_data() has again a dependency on other patches, especially the patch to configure the neighbor parameters (DCE/DTE, number of channels etc.), which I already sent before but still have to revise. Unfortunately I have only limited time for this topic, so I am not as fast as some people would wish. Sorry for that. Martin

Applied, thanks.

[PATCH net-next] net: x25: Fix handling of Restart Request and Restart Confirmation
1. When the x25 module gets loaded, layer 2 may already be running and
connected. In this case, although we are in X25_LINK_STATE_0, we still
need to handle the Restart Request received, rather than ignore it.
2. When we are in X25_LINK_STATE_2, we have already sent a Restart Request
and is waiting for the Restart Confirmation with t20timer. t20timer will
restart itself repeatedly forever so it will always be there, as long as we
are in State 2. So we don't need to check x25_t20timer_pending again.
