[Linuxptp-devel] Planning release 1.7

[Richard Cochran]

Dear linuxptp users and developers,

I am planning to release version 1.7 in one week, without any major
new features, in order to fix the regressions in version 1.6. The two
bugs that need fixing are:

- time stamping in one step P2P mode
- bogus announce timer on the UDS interface

If you know of any other problems with v1.6 or in the current git
head, please let me know right away.

Thanks,
Richard

Hello,

as a bug fix release, it may be useful if you consider my patch from last Friday ([PATCH] Fix data type for return value of vasprintf()),
regarding the the data type issue in util.c.

'len2' is of type 'size_t' in util.c:451, but vasprintf in line 457 returns '-1' on error which is checked in line 460. Currently
this check will always fail (regardless of the return value of vasprintf()), according to its declaration as unsigned int.

Best regards
Henry Jesuiter

Yes, that is a bug. I will include the fix in 1.7.

Richard，
Role: slave node
Delay Mechanism: E2E
Scenario: slave sent a delay_req to master, and duration period of
issuing delay_req for next time is determined by set_tmo_random(), it is a
random value. If the slave node send the delay_req again prior to
receiving the first delay_resp from master, the first delay_resp will be
discarded due to having previous sequence number

This is the expected behavior. The timing of the delay request
messages does not depend on the reponse from the master.

(Consider what would happen if the master never responds...)

Thanks,
Richard
