Replaced ip4_addr_t to ip_addr_t in pppapi_pppol2tp_create() prototype,
now binding to UDPv6 or UDPv4 depending on the passed ip_addr_t type.
Removed pppol2tp_create_ip6() and pppapi_pppol2tp_create_ip6().
ip_addr_t is used for all generic IP addresses for the API, ip(4/6)_addr_t are only used internally or when initializing netifs or when calling version-related functions
Follow-up of the #44565 bug fix, renamed the misnamed
PPP_INPROC_MULTITHREADED to PPP_INPROC_IRQ_SAFE because it is
IRQ safe but not thread safe.
Updated PPP documentation which now clearly state when and how
this feature can be used.
!NO_SYS users may now use as well the TCPIP API for PPPoS input data,
this way they can disable PPP_INPROC_MULTITHREADED and run pppos_input()
inside the lwIP thread, which fixes, at least for them, all the
threading issues related to PPP_INPROC_MULTITHREADED.
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.
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.
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.
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.
This patch adds support for RFC3542-style checksum computation on raw,
IPv6 sockets via the IPV6_CHECKSUM socket option.
This allows the development of application-layer utilities such as
ping6 which are unable to compute the raw packet checksum without a
prior knowledge of the source address selection.
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 */
}
}
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
This is now the user choice to re-establish the session in the link status callback
by either calling the ppp_reopen() to re-establish or ppp_delete() to free the PPP
control block. Without user intervention, the PPP control block now stay in the dead
phase, allowing the user to re-establish or delete the control block later.
- fixed 'cast increases alignment' by casting via 'void*';
- introduced 'struct sockaddr_aligned' where the 'base' type is instantiated to make sure the alignment is correct;
