The defragmenting code is enabled by CONFIG_IP_DEFRAG; the code is useful for TFTP and NFS transfers. The user can specify the maximum defragmented payload as CONFIG_NET_MAXDEFRAG (default 16k). Since NFS has a bigger per-packet overhead than TFTP, the static reassembly buffer can hold CONFIG_NET_MAXDEFRAG + the NFS overhead. The packet buffer is used as an array of "hole" structures, acting as a double-linked list. Each new fragment can split a hole in two, reduce a hole or fill a hole. No support is there for a fragment overlapping two diffrent holes (i.e., thre new fragment is across an already-received fragment). Signed-off-by:Alessandro Rubini <rubini@gnudd.com> Signed-off-by:
