[ofw] FW: It seems that there are several places where the function __send_mgr_filter_udp is returning pending

[Tzachi Dar]

Below is the formal patch to the place where the code seems to be very confusing (no functionality change).

I agree.
Can you send it to the community, please ?

OK, my mistake.


The following code got me confused.

                                if( status == NDIS_STATUS_PENDING )
                                {  /* not DHCP packet, keep going */
                                                if( ETH_IS_MULTICAST( p_eth_hdr->dst.addr ) )
                                                                p_desc->send_dir = SEND_UD_QP;
                                                else
                                                                p_desc->send_dir = SEND_RC_QP;
                                                break;
                                }
                                return status;

Please note that it is not clear that the function will return.

I'll change it with

                                if( status != NDIS_STATUS_PENDING )
                                {
                                                Return status;
}
                                 /* not DHCP packet, keep going */
                                                if( ETH_IS_MULTICAST( p_eth_hdr->dst.addr ) )
                                                                p_desc->send_dir = SEND_UD_QP;
                                                else
                                                                p_desc->send_dir = SEND_RC_QP;
                break;

If I understand correctly this will cause the packets not to be sent.

Is this by design? Is this something that I don't understand?

Thanks
