TLS 1.3 started using the entry at the end of the SG array
for chaining-in the single byte content type entry. This mostly
works:
[ E E E E E E . . ]
^ ^
start end
E < content type
/
[ E E E E E E C . ]
^ ^
start end
(Where E denotes a populated SG entry; C denotes a chaining entry.)
If the array is full, however, the end will point to the start:
[ E E E E E E E E ]
^
start
end
And we end up overwriting the start:
E < content type
/
[ C E E E E E E E ]
^
start
end
The sg array is supposed to be a circular buffer with start and
end markers pointing anywhere. In case where start > end
(i.e. the circular buffer has "wrapped") there is an extra entry
reserved at the end to chain the two halves together.
[ E E E E E E . . l ]
(Where l is the reserved entry for "looping" back to front.
As suggested by John, let's reserve another entry for chaining
SG entries after the main circular buffer. Note that this entry
has to be pointed to by the end entry so its position is not fixed.
Examples of full messages:
[ E E E E E E E E . l ]
^ ^
start end
<---------------.
[ E E . E E E E E E l ]
^ ^
end start
Now the end will always point to an unused entry, so TLS 1.3
can always use it.

README
Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
