Makes it clear we are initiating the PPP session with ppp_connect
(i.e. acting as a PPP client) so there is no confusion possible
between ppp_connect and ppp_listen.
We don't need ask_for_local boolean, this is only useful for setup which
can determine the local IP address from the system hostname, which is
probably meaningless for embedded devices (and probably any devices).
It was actually only set by ip_check_options() which is commented out in
lwIP because we don't parse a config file nor check PPP configuration
(user is responsible about writing a configuration which is logical ;-).
Furthermore ask_for_local boolean never set actually had the wrong
default for PPP server setups.
PPP is now pointerful for a while, we don't need anymore accessor functions
for the unique PPP local and static control block. Replaced
ppp_set_netif_statuscallback() and ppp_set_netif_linkcallback() functions to
defines.
Removed pppapi_do_ppp_set_netif_statuscallback() and
pppapi_do_ppp_set_netif_linkcallback(), they were useless because
netif_set_status_callback() and netif_set_link_callback() can be
safely called while PPP status is in dead (= non open) state
and even before the PPP session is actually created at all.
pppos_create() can be called whether the modem is ready to process the
PPP session since pppos_create() does not start the PPP session anymore,
moved the advise from pppos_create() to ppp_open().
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.
xmit_accm was meant to be a user configurable asyncmap, it was actually
broken since the introduction of ppp_new by the way we now reset the PPP
initial state, looks like no one until now is needing it anymore. If
necessary we will reintroduce this feature later properly instead of a
dirty and ugly hack into the PPP code.
Moved ppp_write_over_ethernet() and ppp_netif_output_over_ethernet() to pppoe.c
Moved ppp_write_over_l2tp() and ppp_netif_output_over_l2tp() to pppol2tp.c
Re-order ppp.[ch] functions in the order functions should be called from
user application. Moved create functions, which actually return a PPP
control block before functions needing a PPP control block.
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.
Re-order ppp.[ch] functions in the order functions should be called from
user application. Moved create functions, which actually return a PPP
control block before functions needing a PPP control block.
The only benefit of ppp_delete() call was about having a persistent
netif interface. netif was moved out of PPP pcb so we don't need
ppp_delete() anymore, second step in simplifying the weird
new/open/free/delete PPP API.
The only benefit of ppp_new() call was about having a persistent netif
interface. netif was moved out of PPP pcb so we don't need ppp_new()
anymore, first step in simplifying the weird new/open/free/delete PPP
API.
Users might want to share a netif control block between an Ethernet
interface and a PPPoS interface (I want actually) in case PPP is just
used as redundancy if Ethernet is down (eg. PPPoS GPRS fail over).
Moved netif out of PPP control block in a similar way it is currently
done for Ethernet interfaces. Furthermore, this is a first step on
removing the "new/create/free/delete" API which is awful but currently
necessary to handle fail over from PPPoX to another PPPoX (eg. from PPoE
on xDSL to PPPoS on GPRS fail over) without free()ing the netif which
might be used on udp_sendto() or L2TP VPN links.
The current code is buggy regarding handling of link state when using
both IPCP and IPv6CP: if IPv6CP has been set up and if during IPCP
negociation, ipcp_up() fails, it will incorrectly take the interface
down. The simple solution here is to change the platform code to do the
same as on Solaris: separate IPv6CP up/down state handling with sif6up()
and sif6down(), so that we really know when the interface is allowed to
go down.
(Based from pppd commit b04d2dc6df5c6b5650fea44250d58757ee3dac4a)
PPP notify phase support, using compile-time PPP_NOTIFY_PHASE macro.
This can be used for example to set a LED pattern depending on the
current phase of the PPP session.
Callback example:
static void ppp_notify_phase_cb(ppp_pcb *pcb, u8_t phase, void *ctx) {
switch(phase) {
case PPP_PHASE_DEAD: /* Kept off */
case PPP_PHASE_MASTER:
/* LED Off */
break;
case PPP_PHASE_INITIALIZE: /* Session opened */
/* LED FastBlink */
break;
case PPP_PHASE_RUNNING: /* Session running */
/* LED On */
break;
default:
/* LED SlowBlink */
}
}
