Notes for Reviewer
The retrieve buffer can overflow when the publisher loans many samples and send them one by one without any more loans. The problem is, that the samples in the retrieve buffer are only recollected whenever a new loan is acquired. When we never have to call loan again since we have a big buffer of loaned samples on the publisher side, the retrieve buffer will overflow and the communication fails.
The solution is rather simple: Call
retrieve_returned_samples
before sending any new samples. In this way, we ensure that we reclaim all borrowed samples before we borrow (send) new samples to the receiver.Pre-Review Checklist for the PR Author
