The function _eth_arch_low_level_input() is meant to pass data into
LWIP and to prepare the ethernet buffers to receive more data.
If the LWIP heap is empty and the call to pbuf_alloc() in
_eth_arch_low_level_input returns null, the ethernet receive buffers
are not updated to receive data. Because of this the ethernet RX
interrupt will not fire. Since the RX interrupt is the only thing that
triggers a call to _eth_arch_low_level_input(), the receive buffers
will never get cleared, and the device stops receiving data.
To prevent this from happening, this patch ensures that the function
_eth_arch_low_level_input() clears the receive buffers even if a new
pbuf for the data couldn't be allocated.
This issue can be reproduce by running the test
"features-feature_lwip-tests-mbedmicro-net-udp_echo_parallel"
and on the same machine running the below python script to flood the
device with UDP broadcast packets:
MY_IP = #ADD your local IP here
from socket import *
s = socket(AF_INET, SOCK_DGRAM)
s.bind((MY_IP, 1234))
s.setsockopt(SOL_SOCKET, SO_REUSEADDR, 1)
s.setsockopt(SOL_SOCKET, SO_BROADCAST, 1)
for _ in range(1000):
s.sendto("test data", ('255.255.255.255', 1234))
print("Message sent")
GCC have not been capable enough to catch some linker errors which arose when
ethernet support for LWIP was disabled. Checks have been added to make sure that
unrefrenced code is not linked in.
nsapi_ppp glue layer is made more transparent to public cellular API. Storage of IP
addresses is removed. PPP layer already stores the addresses, so we pass the pointer back
to the upper layers.
If PPP is not used, we provide dummy functions.
* state machine corrections
* adding various standard API methods
* Addition/revision/enhancement of the nsapi_ppp glue layer
* Turning off debug by default
