As a result, only a few out of the submitted packets made it at all onto the network. Occasionally, when dccp_wait_for_ccid was involved, this also triggered a bug warning since ccid3_hc_tx_send_packet returned a negative value (which in reality was a negative delay value). The cause for this bug lies in the comparison if (delay >= hctx->ccid3hctx_delta) return delay / 1000L; The type of `delay' is `long', that of ccid3hctx_delta is `u32'. When comparing negative long values against u32 values, the test returned `true' whenever delay was smaller than 0 (meaning the packet was overdue to send). The fix is by casting, subtracting, and then testing the difference with regard to 0. This has been tested and shown to work.
