Previously LE flow credits were returned to the sender even if the socket's receive buffer was full. This meant that no back-pressure was applied to the sender, thus it continued to send data, resulting in data loss without any error being reported. Furthermore, the amount of credits was essentially fixed to a small amount, leading to reduced performance. This is fixed by computing the number of returned LE flow credits based on the estimated available space in the receive buffer of an L2CAP socket. Consequently, if the receive buffer is full, no credits are returned until the buffer is read and thus cleared by user-space. Since the computation of available receive buffer space can only be performed approximately (due to sk_buff overhead) and the receive buffer size may be changed by user-space after flow credits have been sent, superfluous received data is temporary stored within l2cap_pinfo. This is necessary because Bluetooth LE provides no retransmission mechanism once the data has been acked by the physical layer. If receive buffer space estimation is not possible at the moment, we fall back to providing credits for one full packet as before. This is currently the case during connection setup, when MPS is not yet available.
