Hello
So, this is the continuation of my old topics.
Currently I have changed my program like described below.
1) A thread puts several data blocks (A, B, C, D) into queue.
2) One or more other threads lock the serialization mutex, extract current queue content (if any), send data with
sendmsg() (if any) and then unlock the serialization mutex.
So, since the data is pushed into queue by one thread the order of blocks in it is guarranteed to be "A, B, C, D". Since
the thread that does the transmission extracts the data and executed sendmsg() inside of a mutex lock, it is
guarranteed that data is delivered to the protocol stack in the same order it appears in queue. However today I have
cought an assertion check that the data has arrived to client in swapped order: "B, C, D, A".
So, it is evident that there were at least two sendmsg() calls, first with "A" and second with "B, C, D". The first call
exited and unlocked the mutex before second thread could lock the mutex and enter sendmsg(). Nevertheless the buffers
were swapped inside of io-net.
Can I have a confirmation this scenario is possible? And more important, can I have the confirmation that even though
the data of the sequential calls might be swapped, it can't be intermixed with each other, provided the access to
sendmsg() is serialized as described above?
