[PATCH 08/20] tty: n_gsm: fix insufficient txframe size

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

 



From: Daniel Starke <daniel.starke@xxxxxxxxxxx>

n_gsm is based on the 3GPP 07.010 and its newer version is the 3GPP 27.010.
See https://portal.3gpp.org/desktopmodules/Specifications/SpecificationDetails.aspx?specificationId=1516
The changes from 07.010 to 27.010 are non-functional. Therefore, I refer to
the newer 27.010 here. Chapter 5.7.2 states that the maximum frame size
(N1) refers to the length of the information field (i.e. user payload).
However, 'txframe' stores the whole frame including frame header, checksum
and start/end flags. We also need to consider the byte stuffing overhead.
Define constant for the protocol overhead and adjust the 'txframe' size
calculation accordingly to reserve enough space for a complete mux frame
including byte stuffing for advanced option mode. Note that no byte
stuffing is applied to the start and end flag.
Also use MAX_MTU instead of MAX_MRU as this buffer is used for data
transmission.
