be dropped when it has an unusual traffic pattern. For full details as well as a test case that demonstrates the failure, see the referenced PR. Under certain circumstances involving the persist state, it is possible for the receive side's tp->rcv_nxt to advance beyond its tp->rcv_adv. This causes (tp->rcv_adv - tp->rcv_nxt) to become negative. However, in the code affected by this fix, that difference was interpreted as an unsigned number by max(). Since it was negative, it was taken as a huge unsigned number. The effect was to cause the receiver to believe that its receive window had negative size, thereby rejecting all received segments including ACKs. As the test case shows, this led to fruitless retransmissions and eventually to a dropped connection. Even connections using the loopback interface could be dropped. The fix substitutes the signed imax() for the unsigned max() function. PR: closes kern/3998 Reviewed by: davidg, fenner, wollman |

This is the top level of the FreeBSD source directory. This file was last revised on: $Id$ For copyright information, please see the file COPYRIGHT in this directory (additional copyright information also exists for some sources in this tree - please see the specific source directories for more information). The Makefile in this directory supports a number of targets for building components (or all) of the FreeBSD source tree, the most commonly used one being ``world'', which rebuilds and installs everything in the FreeBSD system from the source tree except the kernel. Please see the top of the Makefile for more information on the standard build targets and compile-time flags. Building a kernel with config(8) is a somewhat more involved process, documentation for which can be found at: http://www.freebsd.org/handbook/kernelconfig.html And in the config(8) man page. The sample kernel configuration files reside in the sys/i386/conf sub-directory (assuming that you've installed the kernel sources), the file named GENERIC being the one used to build your initial installation kernel. The file LINT contains entries for all possible devices, not just those commonly used, and is meant more as a general reference than an actual kernel configuration file (a kernel built from it wouldn't even run).
