First, I've removed the atomics because they don't really give us much and are a bit misleading. We only use them to access the length taking a lock, but we can't actually set them without holding the lock.
Second, the receive buffer logic wasn't quite correct. The window size is
len+cap
, notlen+cap+pending
. When we copy data from the network, we add it tolen
, but then we remove the same amount fromcap
, so copying data from the network does not affect the window size.The receive buffer looks like:
As data is read, the buffer gets updated like so:
It can then grow as follows (given a "max" of 10):
By counting "pending" towards the window size, we wouldn't send a window update if:
This was causing the partial window update test to flake.
