[Qemu-devel] [PULL 3/3] slirp: Add a special case for the NULL socket
Posted by Samuel Thibault 8 years, 4 months ago
From: Kevin Cernekee <cernekee@chromium.org>

NULL sockets are used for NDP, BOOTP, and other critical operations.
If the topmost mbuf in a NULL session is blocked pending resolution,
it may cause problems if it blocks other packets with a NULL socket.
So do not add mbufs with a NULL socket field to the same session.
