The driver uses the netdev interface. Due to the limited
capabilities of the transceiver (32 byte FIFO and no source address in the layer2 frame),
it relies on 6LowPAN compression and adds the source address to the frame for that.
The gnrc_netif_ipv6_addr_add_internal() function unconditionally
acquires the global netif rmutex lock but doesn't release this lock on
this specific path (i.e. if gnrc_netif_ipv6_group_join_internal failed).
This can cause a deadlock as no other thread will afterwards be capable
of acquiring the netif lock.
xtimer.h must not be included, when the xtimer module is not use. Otherwise
compilation on the waspmote-pro with https://github.com/RIOT-OS/RIOT/pull/14799
will not longer work. gnrc_netif_pktq includes xtimer.h and uses xtimer, but
gnrc_netif includes gnrc_netif_pktq.h regardless of whether gnrc_netif_pktq
is used. This makes sure that gnrc_netif_pktq.h is only included when actually
used.
This changes the prefixes of the symbols generated from USEMODULE and
USEPKG variables. The changes are as follow:
KCONFIG_MODULE_ => KCONFIG_USEMODULE_
KCONFIG_PKG_ => KCONFIG_USEPKG_
MODULE_ => USEMODULE_
PKG_ => USEPKG_
Replace direct accesses to sched_active_thread and sched_active_pid with
the helper functions thread_getpid() and thread_get_active(). This serves
two purposes:
1. It makes accidental writes to those variable from outside core less likely.
2. Casting off the volatile qualifier is now well contained to those two
functions
These functions are independent from GNRC and can be used by stack-agnistoc
code.
Avoid pulling in a GNRC dependency by moving those two helper functions to
`netif`.
The old function names are kept as `static inline` wrapper functions to avoid
breaking API users.
The 6Lo network interfaces can only support a max_frag_size of
SIXLOWPAN_FRAG_MAX_LEN (2047 bytes) as the length field is only 11-bits.
This limits the max_frag_size in the case that the L2-PDU is higher than
that.

802.15.4g devices have a 2047 byte PDU.
So the assertion `netif->ipv6.mtu == IPV6_MIN_MTU` is too strict here.
This is only enforced on init, so changing the modulation at run-time
did not catch this bug.
To test, use e.g. `at86rf215` with
CFLAGS += -DAT86RF215_DEFAULT_PHY_MODE=IEEE802154_PHY_MR_OQPSK
fixes#14164
Add a message bus where threads can listen for nib events.
Currently only the GNRC_IPV6_NIB_EVENT_ADDR_VALID event is
implemented which informs subscribers that an address got
valid.
Enabled by the gnrc_netif_events pseudo module. Using an internal event
loop within the gnrc_netif thread eliminates the risk of lost interrupts
and lets ISR events always be handled before any send/receive requests
from other threads are processed.
The events in the event loop is also a potential hook for MAC layers and
other link layer modules which may need to inject and process events
before any external IPC messages are handled.

This is the radio found in NXP Kinetis KW41Z, KW21Z. Only 802.15.4 mode
is implemented (KW41Z also supports BLE on the same transceiver).
The driver uses vendor supplied initialization code for the low level
XCVR hardware, these files were imported from KSDK 2.2.0 (framework_5.3.5)
This adds a driver for the SPI based AT86RF215 transceiver.
The chip supports the IEEE Std 802.15.4-2015 and IEEE Std 802.15.4g-2012 standard.
This driver supports two versions of the chip:
- AT86RF215: dual sub-GHz & 2.4 GHz radio & baseband
- AT86RF215M: sub-GHz radio & baseband only
Both radios support the following PHY modes:
- MR-FSK
- MR-OFDM
- MR-O-QPKS
- O-QPSK (legacy)
The driver currently only implements support for legacy O-QPSK.
To use both interfaces, add
GNRC_NETIF_NUMOF := 2
to your Makefile.
The transceiver is able to send frames of up to 2047 bytes according to
IEEE 802.15.4g-2012 when operating in non-legacy mode.
Known issues:
- [ ] dBm setting values are bogus
- [ ] Channel spacing for sub-GHz MR-O-QPSK might be wrong
- [ ] TX/RX stress test will lock up the driver on openmote-b
The comment exists since the introduction of the [original
implementation], but its meaning is unclear and misleading, as the code
doesn't do anything with link-local.

Rule 2 of the source address algorithm outlined in [RFC6724] states the
possible source addresses must also be compared among each other:
> Rule 2: Prefer appropriate scope.
> If Scope(SA) < Scope(SB): If Scope(SA) < Scope(D), then prefer SB and
> otherwise prefer SA. Similarly, if Scope(SB) < Scope(SA): If
> Scope(SB) < Scope(D), then prefer SA and otherwise prefer SB.
Our current implementation doesn't do that. It just checks if the scope
of a possible source is lesser than the scope of the destination
(which involves the second "If" in the rule).
This fix grants points according to the scope of an address. If the
scope matches, they get the highest points, ensuring that the selected
source will always be reachable from the destination.
[RFC6724]: https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc6724
`_match_to_idx()` was removed from source address selection (which was
the only one setting the filter parameter to a non-NULL value), so it
is the parameter is not needed anymore.
When source address selection is done, both RFC and comments in the code
state, that a longest prefix match should *only* be used as a
tie-breaker between more than one viable candidate. If there is only one
address, there is
a) no need for a tie-breaker
b) in the case of either the destination address or the single remaining
address being ULAs ([which are considered to be of global scope]
[RFC4193]) possibly not matching, as `fd00::/7` and e.g. `2001::/8`
do not have a common prefix.
(b) in fact causes the match function to return -1, causing the source
address selection to return -1, causing the outer function to return the
first address it found (which most often is the link-local address),
causing e.g. a ping to an ULA to fail, even is there is a global
address.
[RFC4193]: https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc4193
Similar as with #12513, when the NIB is compiled in 6LN mode (but not
6LR mode), the address-resolution state-machine (ARSM) functionality is
disabled in favor of the more simpler address resolution proposed in RFC
6775.
However, if a non-6LN interface is also compiled in (without making it
a router or border router) it will never join the solicited-nodes
multicast address of addresses added to it, resulting in address
resolution to that interface to fail.
If the interface is not a 6LN (which in case 6LN mode is disabled is
always false), a warning is now printed, encouraging the user to
activate the ARSM functionality if needed.
The functions now are semantic distinct:
- gnrc_netif_is_6lo(): the interface is a 6Lo interface
- gnrc_netif_is_6ln(): the interface is using Neighbor Discovery
according to RFC 6775
A received packet is outputted in DEBUG _after_ it was already parsed,
but with a reference to the already parsed header. The result is that
there can be some garbage in the output and the packet is not dumped in
total. As without parsing we do not have access to the header yet, we
use the `gnrc_netif_addr_to_str()` helper function instead of parsing
the destination address by hand.
