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.
We don't have callbacks which can be set or cleared for PPPoS
configuration, there is too much callbacks to create and PPPoS must be
kept light, therefore PPPoS functions can be called when PPP core
configure a PPPoE or PPPoL2TP interface, this is very unlikely to
happens because protocols not supported by PPPoE or PPPoL2TP are
disabled at LCP/IPCP negotiation but being safe is still better.
Check if passed PPP pointer to PPPoS configuration functions is a PPPoS
interface by using a linked list of exiting PPPoS interfaces.
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.
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)
Based from pppd 2.4.5, released 2009-11-17, with huge changes to match
code size and memory requirements for embedded devices, including:
- Gluing together the previous low-level PPP code in lwIP to pppd 2.4.5, which
is more or less what pppd sys-* files are, so that we get something working
using the unix port.
- Merged some patchs from lwIP Git repository which add interesting features
or fix bugs.
- Merged some patchs from Debian pppd package which add interesting features
or fix bugs.
- Ported PPP timeout handling to the lwIP timers system
- Disabled all the PPP code using filesystem access, replaced in necessary cases
to configuration variables.
- Disabled all the PPP code forking processes.
- Removed IPX support, lwIP does not support IPX.
- Ported and improved random module from the previous PPP port.
- Removed samba TDB (file-driven database) usage, because it needs a filesystem.
- MS-CHAP required a DES implementation, we added the latest PolarSSL DES
implementation which is under a BSD-ish license.
- Also switched to PolarSSL MD4,MD5,SHA1 implementations, which are meant to be
used in embedded devices with reduced memory footprint.
- Removed PPP configuration file parsing support.
- Added macro definition EAP_SUPPORT to make EAP support optional.
- Added macro definition CHAP_SUPPORT to make CHAP support optional.
- Added macro definition MSCHAP_SUPPORT to make MSCHAP support optional.
- Added macro definition PAP_SUPPORT to make PAP support optional.
- Cleared all Linux syscall calls.
- Disabled demand support using a macro, so that it can be ported later.
- Disabled ECP support using a macro, so that it can be ported later.
- Disabled CCP support using a macro, so that it can be ported later.
- Disabled CBCP support using a macro, so that it can be ported later.
- Disabled LQR support using a macro, so that it can be ported later.
- Print packet debug feature optional, through PRINTPKT_SUPPORT
- Removed POSIX signal usage.
- Fully ported PPPoS code from the previous port.
- Fully ported PPPoE code from the previous port.
- Fully ported VJ compression protocol code from the previous port.
- Removed all malloc()/free() use from PPP, replaced by stack usage or PBUF.
- Disabled PPP server support using a macro, so that it can be ported later.
- Switched all PPP debug to lwIP debug system.
- Created PPP Control Block (PPP PCB), removed PPP unit integer everywhere,
removed all global variables everywhere, did everything necessary for
the PPP stack to support more than one PPP session (pppd only support
one session per process).
- Removed the statically allocated output buffer, now using PBUF.
- Improved structure size of all PPP modules, deep analyze of code to reduce
variables size to the bare minimum. Switched all boolean type (char type in
most architecture) to compiler generated bitfields.
- Added PPP IPv6 support, glued lwIP IPv6 support to PPP.
- Now using a persistent netif interface which can then be used in lwIP
functions requiring a netif.
- Now initializing PPP in lwip_init() function.
- Reworked completely the PPP state machine, so that we don't end up in
anymore in inconsistent state, especially with PPPoE.
- Improved the way we handle PPP reconnection after disconnect, cleaning
everything required so that we start the PPP connection again from a
clean state.
- Added PPP holdoff support, allow the lwIP user to wait a little bit before
reconnecting, prevents connection flood, especially when using PPPoL2TP.
- Added PPPoL2TP LAC support (a.k.a. UDP tunnels), adding a VPN client
feature to lwIP, L2TP being a widely used tunnel protocol.
- Switched all used PPP types to lwIP types (u8t, u16t, u32t, ...)
- Added PPP API "sequential" thread-safe API, based from NETIFAPI.
