[lwip-devel] [bug #23240] recv_udp increases counters for available receives before netbuf is actually posted

[Jonathan Larmour]

Follow-up Comment #4, bug #23240 (project lwip):

Not sure about that. This would have to also cover access to sock->rcvevent.
Although I haven't thought through in detail it seems to me there's a risk of
deadlock (semaphores not being like recursive mutexes).

I think we just need to make these counts be signed quantities (as well as
the proposed fix in comment #0), to avoid problems if they wrap. I'd just like
another opinion on whether that idea has any flaws. Even if a semaphore
wouldn't risk deadlocks, it may be overkill.
