Re: [PATCH v5 bluetooth-next] 6lowpan: Use pskb_expand_head in IPHC decompression.

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hi Martin,

This is only a summarize what we should now to try to do here for next
version.

I know... this patch ends in a global debate on principles how we deal
with the replacement of 6LoWPAN -> IPv6 header. Current behaviour is
more a hack.

use skb_cow_head here.

same here.

I see now that case LOWPAN_DISPATCH_IPHC: runs a "local_skb =
skb_clone(skb, GFP_ATOMIC);" and send the local_skb to process_data. So
is the share_check really needed? In my opinion there are several things
wrong.

What bluetooth should do here is:

Always run skb = skb_share_check(skb, GFP_ATOMIC); at first of this function.

In if (skb->data[0] == LOWPAN_DISPATCH_IPV6):

 - only run a skb_pull (doesn't change the data buffer, only skb attribute)
   for the one byte dispatch.
 - run other things like skb_reset_network_header, etc...

 -> Currently this works because we run a complete skb_copy_expand here.
    But this is not needed, we need a clone because we don't modify the
    data buffer.

 -> To Jukka: I don't see a skb_pull for the one byte dispatch value?
    What's happend here? Also IPv6 dispatch is part of rfc4944 and btle
    6LoWPAN is only realted to rfc6282 (IPHC). I think you don't need handling
    for this here.



In "case LOWPAN_DISPATCH_IPHC:" we should remove the skb_clone, because
this is already handled by "skb_share_check" then.
