When XTIMER_BACKOFF is used by `_xtimer_set()`, `offset` has already
been converted to ticks.
So the documentation of the `xtimer_tsleepXX()` functions is correct,
however for `xtimer_usleep()` XTIMER_BACKOFF has to be converted to µs
to calculate the minimal sleep time.
The ubjson module has a number of quality defects and is unsafe.
Considering CBOR is popular, standarized and supported in RIOT and that
the ubjson implementation is a home-grown one whose API will likely be
unfamiliar to new users, I propose to delete it.
This removal, of course, dows not have to be NOW. We can deprecate it for
one or two releases before.
What's wrong with this module?
- Unsafe: the parsing is done recursively. This is embedded in the API, so it
is not possible to fix it without changing the API. A document with too much
nesting can cause a stack overflow.
- Does not validate writing: it is possible to produce invalid output. From
the docs:
> The library won't complain if you write multiple values that are not
> inside an array or object. The result will just not be properly serialized.
- Poorly tested. As shown by #11702, #11703 the tests were not even detecting
that a False was stored as True.
- In line with the previous remark, see
68dc5b0d6e/tests/unittests/tests-ubjson/tests-ubjson.c (L66-L77)
Why is the following code in the unit tests??
```c
irq_disable();
sched_set_status(data->main_thread, STATUS_PENDING);
```
- #2175 is still unfixed after 3.5 years.
- Code quality. The code has multiline macros that assign variables and
return. See c332514875/sys/ubjson/ubjson-write.c (L34-L41)
Can we mark it as deprecated this release and sweep it in the following one?
`gnrc_sixlowpan_frag_rb_base_rm()` cleans up the intervals which is part
of `gnrc_sixlowpan_frag_rb`, not `gnrc_sixlowpan_frag`, so when the
`gnrc_sixlowpan_frag` is not compiled in, but `gnrc_sixlowpan_frag_rb`,
the intervals allocated in the reassembly buffer and inherited by the
virtual reassembly buffer are never released.
Preprocesor fails to evaluate the if condicion on L91-92 because
RTT_FREQUENCY is not defined, and therefore a division by 0 occurs.
TO avoid this replicate the RTT_FREQUENCY undefined warning.
Currently the bitfield type mixes up the order of bits: While the byte
order is big-endian (most significant byte first), the bit order of each
single byte within the bitfield is little-endian (most significant bit
last). While this isn't a problem for most applications of the bitfield
type it becomes one when sending the bitfield over the network (as done
e.g. in the [ACKs of Selective Fragment Recovery][SFR-ACKs]).
This change unifies byte order and bit order to both be most
significant bX first.

In 77a7aed6e6bb51a248fa826585e837abf1df58a2 the API moved from an
identifier-based approach to a pointer based approach. The documentation
does not reflect this yet.
Right now 'ipv6_addr_split_iface' assumes that the interface specifier
will always be a number (based on GNRC way of identifying interfaces),
but this may not be always the case.In order to be able to use the
Network Interface API, interfaces should be referred by their name.
This changes 'ipv6_addr_split_iface' so it returns a pointer to the
string that specifies the interface.
45f7966 made the `src_len` field the "emptiness signifier" for the VRB.
However, when `gnrc_sixlowpan_frag` is compiled in, the remove function
`gnrc_sixlowpan_frag_vrb_rm()` does not set the `src_len` to zero,
resulting in already deleted entry to be recognized as non-empty.
This allows to set a timer between the completion of a datagram in the
reassembly buffer and the deletion of the corresponding reassembly
buffer entry. This allows to ignore potentially late incoming link-layer
duplicates of fragments of the datagram that then will have the
reassembly buffer entry be blocked.
This was noted in this [discussion] for classic 6LoWPAN reassembly (and
minimal fragment forwarding) and is recommended in the current
[selective fragment recovery draft][SFR draft].

cd1ce6b98d43c accidentally disabled generating documentation for
`xtimer_msg_*()` functions.
Always define those functions when building the documentation.
This imports the protocol parameters for Selective Fragment Recovery
(SFR). For the values I took some educated guesses based on my
experience with previous experimentation with fragment forwarding.
The defines currently are based on [draft v7].
