Subject: [B.A.T.M.A.N.] [PATCH] batman-adv: Use successive sequence numbers for fragments
Date: Wed, 9 Feb 2011 00:35:02 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1297208102-4931-1-git-send-email-sven@narfation.org> (raw)
The two fragments of an unicast packet must have successive sequence numbers to
allow the receiver side to detect matching fragments and merge them again. The
current implementation doesn't provide that property because a sequence of two
atomic_inc_return may be interleaved with another sequence which also changes
the variable.
The access to the fragment sequence number pool has either to be protected by
correct locking or the access to the pool has to reserve two sequence numbers
in a single access. The latter one can easily be done by increasing the value
of the last used sequence number by 2 in a single access. The generated window
of two currently unused sequence numbers can now be scattered across the two
fragments.
