Linux kernel modifications for the Kernel Hacking exam
4ea5dab541
We handle a corner case in the function tipc_group_update_rcv_win(). During extreme pessure it might happen that a message receiver has all its active senders in RECLAIMING or REMITTED mode, meaning that there is nobody to reclaim advertisements from if an additional sender tries to go active. Currently we just set the new sender to ACTIVE anyway, hence at least theoretically opening up for a receiver queue overflow by exceeding the MAX_ACTIVE limit. The correct solution to this is to instead add the member to the pending queue, while letting the oldest member in that queue revert to JOINED state. In this commit we refactor the code for handling message arrival from a JOINED member, both to make it more comprehensible and to cover the case described above.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
