Simon says:
ppp_init() does not seem to be used. The only thing it does is calling
magic_init(), which is not required because it its called again later
from ppp_input().
Also, the time from startup is rather constant, so calling sys_jiffies()
from ppp_init() does not create a random number.
We need to do VJ compression before CCP/MPPE compression and VJ
decompression after CCP/MPPE decompression. This leads to a massive
rewrite of how we currently handled VJ only in the PPPoS lower protocol
handler.
Moved VJ structures from pppos to ppp_pcb because we need them back in
PPP core. This is a bit unfortunate because that's not necessary for
PPPoE or PPPoL2TP, but, hey!. Fixed CCP+MPPE+VJ order.
We need to know which methods were chosen when CCP is up, this used to be done
using ccp_test() which we are in the process of removing.
Using non-existing method 0 instead of -1 in CCP for unset method, allowing
type change from s16_t to u8_t for method.
Prepare for PPP_SERVER support, we need to move auth configuration before
lcp_allowoptions is copied into lcp_gotoptions. Restore unused
auth_reset() function using pppd original source code.
Added macro PPP_AUTH_SUPPORT, if none of auth protocols are enabled
(PAP, CHAP, EAP) we reduce PPP memory usage by compiling out all
struct fields and source code used for authentication.
We only need to keep track of existing PPPoS interfaces if PPPoS
is not the only enabled protocol.
PPP CORE does not have callbacks pointers for all PPPoS callbacks
which should actually be required for PPPoS (VJ config, asyncmap, ...),
there is too much callbacks to create and PPPoS must be kept light,
especially for users who are only using PPPoS.
But there is a drawback, PPP CORE does not know which
lower protocols it is talking to thanks to the abstraction,
therefore if PPPoS is enabled as well as PPPoE or PPPoL2TP there
might be situation where PPP CORE calls pppos_ config functions
on interfaces which are NOT PPPoS one. This is very unlikely to
happen because protocols not supported by PPPoE or PPPoL2TP are
disabled at LCP/IPCP negotiation but we are better safe than sorry.
So we check if passed PPP pointer to PPPoS configuration functions
is a PPPoS interface by checking against a linked list of existing
PPPoS interfaces.
Reordered functions in the order they are declared in headers.
Removed useless ppp_link_down() function.
Merged ppp_stop() and ppp_close().
Merged ppp_hup() and ppp_sighup().
Added necessary PPP core functions for PPPoE and PPPoL2TP status
notificaton (ppp_link_failed and ppp_link_end), removed callback,
low level protocol are now calling PPP core "link" functions.
First step of a rework of how low level protocols are using the
PPP core. Low level protocols are now going to use the core instead
of core using the low level protocols.
Final goal: separate PPP core code from low level protocols.
