[lwip-devel] [patch #5960] Enable multithread send/recv operations on same socket on TCP netconns

[Frédéric Bernon]

Follow-up Comment #4, patch #5960 (project lwip):

Yes, ASSERT can be used to signal that the size used is to small and that we
have fill the queue, but it's just good at development time. Take the current
code and this situation:

You open a UDP connection and bind it to a port (514 syslog) by example). If
the process which have to receive doesn't call "recvfrom" faster than you
receive packets (by example, in a DoS attack), the conn->recvmbox for this
connection will be filled, and the tcpip_thread will be block. If
tcpip_thread blocks, there is no possibility to close/delete the UDP
connection by example, or to "sendto" any datagram.
