Subject: [PATCH] totem: Add cancel_hold_on_retransmit config option

Previously, existence of retransmit messages canceled holding

of token (and never allowed representative to enter token hold

state).

This makes token rotating maximum speed and keeps processor

resending messages over and over again - overloading network

and reducing chance to successfully deliver the messages.

Also there were reports of various Antivirus / IPS / IDS which slows

down delivery of packets with certain sizes (packets bigger than token)

what make Corosync retransmit messages over and over again.

Proposed solution is to allow representative to enter token hold

state when there are only retransmit messages. This allows network to

handle overload and/or gives Antivirus/IPS/IDS enough time scan and

deliver packets without corosync entering "FAILED TO RECEIVE" state and

adding more load to network.
