Adds a gnrc_netif specific rawmode flag to indicate that the netdev
device is configured in raw mode. This flag is kept in sync with a
possible flag in the netdev device and should only be modified via the
setter call.
Parts of [RFC4862] were already implemented when NDP via the NIB was
first implemented. This change just includes the DAD portion of
[RFC4862]. This should be enough to make RIOT fully RFC4862 compliant.
[RFC4862]: https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc4862
Reordered struct members to not waste memory due to padding.
Before:
``` C
typedef struct {
uint8_t src_l2addr_len;
uint8_t dst_l2addr_len;
kernel_pid_t if_pid; // <-- 16 bit, is aligned to 16 bit
uint8_t flags;
uint8_t __padding_byte; // <-- Inserted to fulfill padding requirements
int16_t rssi; // <-- 16 bit, is NOT aligned to 16 bit
uint8_t lqi;
uint8_t __padding_byte2;// <-- Inserted to fulfill padding requirements
} gnrc_netif_hdr_t;
```
Now:
``` C
typedef struct {
uint8_t src_l2addr_len;
uint8_t dst_l2addr_len;
kernel_pid_t if_pid; // <-- 16 bit, is aligned to 16 bit
uint8_t flags;
uint8_t lqi;
int16_t rssi; // <-- 16 bit, is aligned to 16 bit
} gnrc_netif_hdr_t;
```
When build for the `bluepill` board, the new layout reduces the size by 2 bytes.
With the previous fix, we only have to register addresses that are not
VALID yet on reception of router advertisements. This removes the need
for the hacky `GNRC_NETIF_FLAGS_6LO_ADDRS_REG` flag that was only
introduced to prevent unnecessary re-registration.
I applied the following terminology and changed the wording in the doc
accordingly:
* must not: If the parameter is of the value it *must not* be it either
hits an assert or crashes the system.
* may not: The value can be that value, but the function will return an
error.
Since especially the setter for `NETOPT_IPV6_ADDR` and the getter for
both `NETOPT_IPV6_ADDR` and `NETOPT_IPV6_GROUP` isn't that obvious, I
decided to provided a helper function for those `gnrc_netapi_get/_set`
operations.
This renames the following functions
* `gnrc_netif_ipv6_addr_add()`
* `gnrc_netif_ipv6_addr_remove()`
* `gnrc_netif_ipv6_group_join()`
* `gnrc_netif_ipv6_group_leave()`
by appending the suffix `_internal`.
\## Reasoning
I'd like to provide a helper function for the *public* equivalent using
`gnrc_netapi_set()`, and those names are to nice to not be taken for
those.
\## Procedure
I used a combination of `git grep` and `sed` to do this and fixed the
alignment in the result of some cases by hand.
```sh
git grep --name-only "\<gnrc_netif_ipv6_\(addr\|group\)_\(add\|remove\|join\|leave\)\>" | \
xargs sed -i 's/\<gnrc_netif_ipv6_\(addr\|group\)_\(add\|remove\|join\|leave\)/\0_internal/g'
```
