rx_acked was used for two conflicting purposes:
1. remote ack of our sends (inflight = tx_seq - rx_acked)
2. our last sent ACK seq (dedup: rx_seq != rx_acked)
When the ack timer fired and set rx_acked = rx_seq, it overwrote
the inflight-tracking value. If rx_seq > tx_seq, the computation
tx_seq - rx_acked underflowed (e.g. 18 - 24 = 0xFFFFFFFA),
permanently blocking router_drain_send_q and causing send_q to
grow indefinitely.
Fix:
- Split rx_acked into tx_acked (remote ack, for inflight) and
last_sent_ack_seq (our ACK, for dedup)
- Incoming ACK handler only advances tx_acked forward (stale guard)
- Use int32_t cast on all inflight comparisons to handle stale states
- Add etcp_router architecture diagram (doc/etcp_router_arch.md)
- Add log_name[16] field to ETCP_CONN structure for connection identification
- Add etcp_update_log_name() function to update identifier when peer_node_id is known
- Update all DEBUG_* calls in etcp.c and etcp_loadbalancer.c to include log_name prefix
- Add DEBUG_CATEGORY_NORMALIZER for packet normalizer debug output
- Change log timestamp format to [hh:mm:ss-mmm.uuu] with microseconds precision
- Reorder debug output: (file:line) function() [log_name] message
- Remove duplicate function names from log messages
- Clean up backup files from pkt_normalizer development
- Add etcp_find_free_local_link_id() function to allocate unique link IDs
- Modify etcp_link_new() to auto-assign local_link_id, fail if none available
- Update INIT_REQUEST (0x02/0x04) to send local_link_id after keepalive
- Update INIT_RESPONSE (0x03/0x05) to include local_link_id
- Parse remote_link_id from incoming handshake packets
- Update protocol documentation in doc/etcp_protocol.txt
- Add comprehensive unit test test_etcp_link_id.c
New packet format:
INIT_REQUEST: [code][node_id(8)][mtu(2)][keepalive(2)][link_id(1)][pubkey(64)]
INIT_RESPONSE: [code][node_id(8)][mtu(2)][link_id(1)]
- Fixed incorrect init_connections() call in test_etcp_simple_traffic.c (was calling server_instance instead of client_instance)
- Fixed double free in timeout_heap_pop() when handling deleted elements
- Enhanced NULL pointer safety in uasync_print_resources() by removing complex heap manipulation
- Added debug logging to timeout_heap_pop() for better error tracking
Test results: test_etcp_simple_traffic now passes without double free errors
- Added missing structure members to ETCP_CONN (ack_packets_count, last_rx_ack_id, rtt_history, rtt_history_idx, total_packets_sent)
- Added missing bandwidth member to ETCP_LINK structure
- Fixed include path for ll_queue.h header
- Added math library linking (-lm) to build system
- Added etcp_loadbalancer.c to build sources
- Fixed forward declarations and function calls in ETCP modules
- Updated test dependencies to include loadbalancer object files
All simple compilation errors resolved, project builds successfully and tests pass (except TUN permission test which is expected in container).
