lwip/src/netif/ppp/ppp.c: In function ‘ppp_input’:
lwip/src/netif/ppp/ppp.c:769:5: warning: ISO C90 forbids mixed declarations and code [-Wpedantic]
const char *pname = protocol_name(protocol);

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().
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
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.
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 */
}
}
Removed one unecessary allocated PBUF per PPPoS RX packet if PPP_INPROC_MULTITHREADED is set by adding the necessary data for
pppos_input_callback() in front of the first pbuf instead of allocating a new buffer.
I consider to remove the PPP_INPROC_OWNTHREAD crap in ppp-new,
as said in bugs #37278 and #37353.
1. It requires the ppp_input_thread() function to be modified to match
user system, like some did by adding the vTaskDelete(NULL); FreeRTOS
call at the end of the function, for example.
This is a tiny-tiny fonction that should be, in my opinion, on the user
port, like the Ethernet input thread we see in many Ethernet port.
2. It is actually not that thread safe.
2.1. pcb->phase IS modified by the lwIP core thread so it should at
least be set to volatile, otherwise the pcb->phase copy may live
indefinitely in CPU register. It works because of the sio_read()
function call which without doubt flush pcb->phase copy from CPU
register. I dont want to set ppp_pcb struct to volatile for obvious
performance reasons.
2.2. This function assume PCB still exists whatever is happening, which
is not the case after you called ppp_delete() function outside of this
thread. If sio_read() is blocking waiting data and pcb destroyed, it is
going to read a deallocated pcb which luckily should still have
pcb->phase set to 0 (=PHASE_DEAD) due to preallocated "control block"
structures of lwIP. Even with sio_read_abort(), there might be timings
issue due to a lack of a synchronization mechanism.
3. I dislike the sys_msleep(1), it means that systems should have at
least a 11 chr buffer at 115200/10 byte/s, and bigger with higher serial
speed, for example with 3G/HSDPA modems accessed through SPI, at 20
Mbits/s this is a ~2000 bytes buffer required to keep incoming data
during this sleep, I don't see why we require systems to do so,
sio_read() should obviously be a blocking call. I cannot easily
remove this sleep because some systems might have wrongfully used this
call as a CPU idle feature with a non blocking sio_read() call.
Free the control block, clean everything except the PPP PCB itself
and the netif, it allows you to change the underlying PPP protocol
(eg. from PPPoE to PPPoS to switch from DSL to GPRS) without losing
your PPP and netif handlers.
Created new ppp_over_X_create() functions which only prepare the PPP session without starting it
Removed ppp_reopen() and all of its sub ppp_over_X_reopen()
Removed PPPoL2TP reconnect() function, merged to connect()
Added ppp_open() able to start or restart any session
