[GNUnet-developers] Fwd: [GNUnet 0005597]: Deadlock for non reliable channel in case of missing message

[t3sserakt]

Hey Christian,

I think I can make it until the 28th, if we have consensus on how to fix this respectively if this is a bug at all.

Cheers

https://bugs.gnunet.org/view.php?id=5597#c14021 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 4 was hard-coded to make exactly these types of errors easier to spot for now.
Later it should indeed be either adaptive, configurable, or both.

I agree it makes no sense to drop a messsage in favor of an even older message.

For unreliable channels, I think the desired behavior should be to queue the
most recent THRESHOLD (=4, for now) messages. Can you fix this very soon (as
in, before 28.2?)
