From 7c3ceb4fb9667f34f1599a062efecf4cdc4a4ce5 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Neil Horman Date: Fri, 5 May 2006 17:02:09 -0700 Subject: [SCTP]: Allow spillover of receive buffer to avoid deadlock. This patch fixes a deadlock situation in the receive path by allowing temporary spillover of the receive buffer. - If the chunk we receive has a tsn that immediately follows the ctsn, accept it even if we run out of receive buffer space and renege data with higher TSNs. - Once we accept one chunk in a packet, accept all the remaining chunks even if we run out of receive buffer space.
