From de553c189e3faa0d0c38f366f73379b46587b80e Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Gerrit Renker Date: Sun, 10 Dec 2006 00:06:32 -0200 Subject: [PATCH] [DCCP] ccid3: Sanity-check RTT samples CCID3 performance depends much on the accuracy of RTT samples. If RTT samples grow too large, performance can be catastrophically poor. To limit the amount of possible damage in such cases, the patch * introduces an upper limit which identifies a maximum `sane' RTT value; * uses a macro to enforce this upper limit. Using a macro was given preference, since it is necessary to identify the calling function in the warning message. Since exceeding this threshold identifies a critical condition, DCCP_CRIT is used and not DCCP_WARN. Many thanks to Ian McDonald for collaboration on this issue.
