1. If more than tx_win packets are enqueued, so that the unack queue
gets full, then when packets are later acked, uart tx is not woken up,
meaning that the flow will be stalled unless uart tx is not later
woken up for some other reason (e.g. packet is received so an ack
needs to be sent).
2. If remote peer sends tx_win packets to us and our ack(s) are
incorrectly received by the remote device, it will first resend the
tx_win packets and wait for their ack before it can send the next
packets. However, we only send ack if a NEW packet (not a resent packet)
is arrived. Therefore, we will never send ack and the remote device
will keep resend the packets (and wait for the acks) forever, until
we send a new tx packet.

do you have interest in working on the bt3wire.c driver that is a pure serdev driver and make it fully H:5 compliant. I think it would be good to move away from hci_h5.c since it is too much entangled with the line discipline.

I would really add a comment here.

And here as well. it should be commented on why this is the right expression. Especially since it is rather complex. Can we not check all the conditions up-front?

I really wonder if these are actually two independent patches fixing two independent things.

I can take a look at it but can't promise anything. I found the email
from 2018-03-18. Is that the latest version? Are there any known
issues with it expect that it misses important features?
Anyway, the current hci_h5.c driver should still be fixed since it's
still in use and probably will for some time...
Yeah the protocol gets pretty complicated in practice and there are
quite many "edge" cases that can be a bit tricky to cover. I'm not
sure if a few comments spread out at different places would make
someone follow the code. I would rather see them as a compliment to a
bigger description at the top of the file or so, discussing various
flows and cases. What do you think?

You're right, they could be separated.

we can fix it in hci_h5.c since it will help current users. Please send patches separated out and I take a look.
