    [CCID2]: Remove redundant synchronisation variable · 83399361
    Gerrit Renker authored
    This removes the synchronisation variable `ccid2hctx_sendwait', which is set to 1
    when the CCID2 sender may send a new packet, and which is set to 0 otherwise
    
    The variable is redundant, since it is only used in combination with the hc_tx_send_packet/
    hc_tx_packet_sent function pair. Both functions are called under socket lock, so the
    following happens when the CCID2 may send a new packet:
    
     * it sets sendwait = 1 in tx_send_packet and returns 0;
     * the subsequent call to tx_packet_sent clears the sendwait flag;
     * since tx_send_packet returns 0 if and only if sendwait == 1, the BUG_ON condition
       in tx_packet_sent is never satisfied, since that function is never called when
       tx_send_packet returns a value different from 0 (cf. dccp_write_xmit);
     * the call to tx_packet_sent clears the flag so that the condition "!sendwait" is
       true the next time tx_packet_sent is called.
    
    In other words, it is sufficient to just return 0 / not-0 to synchronise tx_send_packet
    and tx_packet_sent -- which is what the patch does.
