Issue: The problem is that there is a race condition introduced in that the LWIP thread is relying on the
interface as it is taken down by a application thread while calling disconnect.
In disconnect api called from application context, whd_emac_wifi_link_state_changed() will refer to netif interface
structure in its callback api netif_link_irq(netif). This netif will be cleared by remove_etherent_interface().
whd_emac_wifi_link_state_changed will post message to tcpip_thread. tcpip_thread will process the message and
call the callback api netif_link_irq(netif)
Calling sequence is whd_emac_wifi_link_state_changed -> remove_etherent_interface(). Hence there is a timing issue
that netif might be cleared first before tcpip thread process the message netif_link_irq(netif)
Fix: remove_etherent_interface() will post message to tcpip thread and tcpip:
thread process the message delete_interface()
which will actually remove the inferface from the netif_list.
Calling sequence is whd_emac_wifi_link_state_changed() message post -> remove_etherent_interface() message post.
message processing order netif_link_irq(netif) -> delete_interface().
Since both the processing is handled in single thread, processing of message is handled sequentially.
MBED_DEPRECATE macros is added to string-based APIs.
New, non-string-based APIs are added in their place.
Wiced binaries rebuilt
Any existing stubs or mocks are adjusted to compile and run with the newly added non-string based functions.
Protocols like mdns requires IPv6 link local address to be advertised in its
records (AAAA record). LWIP::Interface::bringup() API is creating IPv6 link
local address;But as of now there is no API exposed by mbed-os to get the
IPv6 link local address.
This new API is required to deliver mDNS library support on mbed-os for Cypress
platforms. Unit tested it by invoking get_ipv6_link_local_address with a simple
application.
Created (a new) PPP interface for PPP service. Removed lwip
dependencies to PPP (memory allocations etc.). Moved PPP
configuration options away from lwIP mbed_lib.json to new
PPP service. For backwards compatibility, using the old
options is also currently supported.
Slight RAM+speed efficiency improvement - read the TCP implementation's
native pbufs, rather than forcing netconn_recv to generate netbuf
wrappers for us. Saves one small lwIP heap allocation per TCP packet
received.
Deprecate wait() in favour of acquire(), try_acquire(),
try_acquire_for() and try_acquire_until().
Brings Semaphore more into line with CMSIS-RTOS 2 (which uses "acquire"),
itself (as it has "release"), and other classes having "try", "try for"
and "try until".
Also steps away from vague "wait" term - the primary operation here is
to acquire the semaphore, and this will of course sleep.
If TCP FSM is in ESTABLISHED state, waits for TCP close handshaking until TIME_WAIT
The purpose is to prevent eth/wifi driver stop and FIN ACK corrupt.
This may happend if network interface disconnect follows immediately after socket_close.
Added Multihoming feature to LWIP (ability to use more than one network interfaces) for increasing networking reliability.
This involves:
LWIP interface
LWIP IP routing
DNS storage
Sockets (bind to interface name possibility)
possibility to add non default network interface
cellular middleware modifications if cellular connection is used
