Date: Tue, 6 Apr 2010 22:09:10 +1000 From: andrew hendry <andrew.hendry@...il.com> To: John Hughes <john@...va.com> Cc: netdev@...r.kernel.org Subject: Re: patch to improve x.25 throughput negotiation I have reproduced a few ways. 1. X25_MASK_THROUGHPUT on the x25_subscript_struct, then call SIOCX25SSUBSCRIP, then call SIOCX25FACILITIES without setting the throughput field. Call connect. 2. No subscrip setting, call SIOCX25FACILITIES without setting the throughput field. Call connect. 3. No subcrip, no facilities ioctl, call connect. The patch removes the bad facility and makes the router accept the call for the above cases. I don't currently have a setup to test both direction throughput negotiation.
