Now that I'm playing with patch 14, I took more interest in this code.

You may need both. #define PROTO_MASK_BITS (PROTO_MASK_SIZE * 8) Because we can have up to 8 protocols per mask size (8 bits in a byte). > +/** > + * tracecmd_tsync_proto_select - Select time sync protocol, to be used for > + * timestamp synchronization with a peer > + * > + * @proto_mask: bitmask array of time sync protocols, supported by the peer > + * @length: size of the @protos array > + * > + * Retuns Id of a time sync protocol, that can be used with the peer, or 0 > + * in case there is no match with supported protocols > + */ > +unsigned int tracecmd_tsync_proto_select(char *proto_mask, int length) > +{ > + struct tsync_proto *selected = NULL; > + struct tsync_proto *proto; > + int word; > + int id; > + > + for (word = 0; word < length; word++) { > + for (proto = tsync_proto_list; proto; proto = proto->next) { > + if (proto->proto_id < word * PROTO_MASK_SIZE) > + continue; The above should be: proto->proto_id < word * PROTO_MASK_BITS Because what you have currently is: proto->proto_id < word * 1 > + > + id = proto->proto_id - word * PROTO_MASK_SIZE; And here you want PROTO_MASK_BITS, otherwise if we have a proto_id of 2 (which would fit as a bit in a char), this would become: id = 2 - 0 * 1 = 1 > + if (id >= PROTO_MASK_SIZE) Then this is: 2 >= 1 which would skip it. Hmm, maybe you don't even need PROTO_MASK_SIZE and only need PROTO_MASK_BITS. -- Steve > + continue; > + > + if ((1 << id) & proto_mask[word]) { > + if (selected) { > + if (selected->weight < proto->weight) > + selected = proto; > + } else > + selected = proto; > + } > + } > + } > + > + if (selected) > + return selected->proto_id; > + > + return 0; > +} > +
