We have identified a problem with the "oversubscription" policy in the link transmission code. When small messages are transmitted, and the sending link has reached the transmit window limit, those messages will be bundled and put into the link backlog queue. However, bundles of data messages are counted at the 'CRITICAL' level, so that the counter for that level, instead of the counter for the real, bundled message's level is the one being increased. Subsequent, to-be-bundled data messages at non-CRITICAL levels continue to be tested against the unchanged counter for their own level, while contributing to an unrestrained increase at the CRITICAL backlog level. This leaves a gap in congestion control algorithm for small messages that can result in starvation for other users or a "real" CRITICAL user. Even that eventually can lead to buffer exhaustion & link reset. We fix this by keeping a 'target_bskb' buffer pointer at each levels, then when bundling, we ...
