Subject: [PATCH 5.10 02/23] batman-adv: tp_meter: initialize dup_acks explicitly
Date: Fri, 26 Jun 2026 18:09:31 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260626160952.123713-3-sven@narfation.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260626160952.123713-1-sven@narfation.org>

commit b2b68b32a715e0328662801576974aa37b942b00 upstream.

When an ack with a sequence number equal to the last_acked is received, the
dup_acks counter is increased to decide whether fast retransmit should be
performed. Only when the sequence numbers are not equal, the dup_acks is
set to the initial value (0).

But if the initial packet would have the sequence number
BATADV_TP_FIRST_SEQ, dup_acks would not be initialized and atomic_inc would
operate on an undefined starting value. It is therefore required to have it
explicitly initialized during the start of the sender session.
