Bug fixing in queuing disciplines of the Linux kernel
During ongoing research at the Chair of Computer Networks and Communication Systems, two old bugs in queuing disciplines of the Linux kernel were discovered. These affected network packet processing in Linux-based emulation environments, which are widely used in research on network protocols. To fix these bugs, patches have been developed, submitted and already included in the Linux kernel:
Patch 1: git.kernel.org/netdev/net/c/1596a135e318
Patch 2: git.kernel.org/netdev/net/c/f8d4bc455047
In addition to contributing to the research community in the field of link emulation, the bug fixes also make a contribution to important open source software.
