|
this module deals with packets: sending, receiving, queueing
|
|
and some basic interpretation (e.g it excludes datagram
|
|
error packets at the moment).
|
|
|
|
the packet queueing mechanism was originally introduced when
|
|
samba dealt with responses by sending a packet, receiving
|
|
packets and queueing all packets that didn't match up with
|
|
the response expected. this is fine in a single-thread
|
|
environment, but samba now deals with response packets by
|
|
queueing the responses. to some extent, therefore, this
|
|
queue_packet mechanism is redundant.
|

/*************************************************************************
|
|
send_mailslot_reply()
|
|
*************************************************************************/
|
|
|
|
this function is responsible for sending a MAILSLOT packet.
|
|
|
|
it will _not_ send packets to the pseudo WINS subnet's address of
|
|
255.255.255.255: this would be disastrous.
|
|
|
|
each packet sent out has a unique transaction identifier. this is done
|
|
so that responses can be matched later with the original purpose for
|
|
the packet being sent out in the first place.
|
|
|
|
|
|
/*************************************************************************
|
|
listen_for_packets()
|
|
*************************************************************************/
|
|
|
|
this function is responsible for reading NMB and DGRAM packets, and then
|
|
queueing them. it will normally time-out for NMBD_SELECT_LOOP seconds, but
|
|
if there is an election currently running or we are expecting a response
|
|
then this time is reduced to 1 second.
|
|
|
|
note: the time-out period needs refining to the millisecond level.
|
|
|
|
|
|
/*************************************************************************
|
|
queue_packet()
|
|
*************************************************************************/
|
|
|
|
this function is responsible for queueing any NMB and DGRAM packets passed
|
|
to it. these packets will be removed from the queue in run_packet_queue().
|
|
|
|
|
|
/*************************************************************************
|
|
run_packet_queue()
|
|
*************************************************************************/
|
|
|
|
this function is responsible for taking a packet off the queue,
|
|
identifying whether it is an NMB or a DGRAM packet, processing
|
|
it accordingly and deleting it. this process continues until
|
|
there are no more packets on the queue.
|
|
|
|
|
|
/*************************************************************************
|
|
process_nmb()
|
|
*************************************************************************/
|
|
|
|
this function receives a packet identified as a netbios packet.
|
|
it further identifies whether it is a response or a query packet.
|
|
by identifying the type of packet (name registration, query etc)
|
|
process_nmb() will call the appropriate function to deal with the
|
|
type of packet received.
|
|
|
|
|
|
/*************************************************************************
|
|
process_dgram()
|
|
*************************************************************************/
|
|
|
|
this function is responsible for identifying whether the datagram
|
|
packet received is a browser packet or a domain logon packet. it
|
|
also does some filtering of certain types of packets (e.g it
|
|
filters out error packets).
|
|
|
|
|
|
/*************************************************************************
|
|
reply_netbios_packet()
|
|
*************************************************************************/
|
|
|
|
this function is responsible for sending a reply to another NetBIOS
|
|
packet from another host. it can be used to send a reply to a name
|
|
registration, name release, name query or name status request.
|
|
|
|
the reply can be either a positive or a negative one.
|
|
|
|
|
|
/*************************************************************************
|
|
initiate_netbios_packet()
|
|
*************************************************************************/
|
|
|
|
this function is responsible for construction a netbios packet and sending
|
|
it. if the packet has not had a unique transaction id allocated to it,
|
|
then initiate_netbios_packet() will give it one.
|
|
|
|
|
|
/*************************************************************************
|
|
update_name_trn_id()
|
|
*************************************************************************/
|
|
|
|
this function is responsible for allocating unique transaction identifiers
|
|
for each new packet sent on the network.
