With the preceding changes the subject of the deprecation note on
`gnrc_pktbuf_duplicate_upto()` becomes actual and thus doesn't need to
be referred to in future but past tense.
Since the recursion into `gnrc_ipv6_demux()` was removed in
`gnrc_ipv6_ext`, `gnrc_ipv6.c` is the only user of this function,
so it can be made private. It was only made public so it can be used
from `gnrc_ipv6_ext`.
Since with #10233 we now assume IPv6 packets always to not be
pre-parsed, we can iterate over the extension headers by gradually
"eating" them away. This allows us to move the iteration over them
out of `gnrc_ipv6_ext_demux()` and into `gnrc_ipv6_demux()`.
By moving the iteration over all extension headers out of
`gnrc_ipv6_ext_demux()` we also can
1. simplify the extension header handling a lot, as it now
just a loop inside `gnrc_ipv6_demux()`,
2. remove the recursion to `gnrc_ipv6_demux()` within
`gnrc_ipv6_ext_demux()`.
The inclusion of `net/gnrc.h` in `net/gnrc/mac/types.h` header makes it
impossible to include the `net/gnrc/netif.h` header within
`net/gnrc/netif/hdr.h`, due to `net/gnrc/mac/types.h` being included
with `net/gnrc/netif/mac.h` (which is included in `net/gnrc/netif.h`)
Check for:
- if it exists (critical error condition -- non-IPv6 headers should
not trigger these functions) => assert
- if it has a multicast source (that shouldn't really happen but
people might try weird stuff ;-)
- if it has an unspecified source (can't determine receiver of error
message => don't send it, don't build it)
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.
gnrc_sock_recv used to duplicate functionality of gnrc_ipv6_get_header,
but additionally checked whether the IPv6 snip is large enough.
All checks are now included in gnrc_ipv6_get_header, but as most of them
stem from programming / user errors, they were moved into asserts; this
constitutes an API change.
UDP port 0 is reserved for system usage, e.g., to tell the OS to
set a random source port. Hence, neither source nor destination
port should be 0 when transmitting. This PR adds proper asserts.
This refactors reception/decoding part of `gnrc_sixlowpan_iphc` to the
more layered approach modeled in #8511. Since the reception part is
already complicated enough I decided to divide send and receive up into
separate changes.
This refactors sending/encoding part of `gnrc_sixlowpan_iphc` to the
more layered approach modeled in #8511. Since the reception part is
already was pretty complicated to refactor, I decided to divide send
and receive up into separate changes.
This will be used in the IPHC refactoring to control the reassembly
buffer as a context.
I also adapted the name of `gnrc_sixlowpan_frag_gc_rbuf()` to be in
line with the rest of the newer functions.
While the current approach for garbage collection in the 6Lo reassembly
buffer is good for best-effort handling of
*fragmented* packets and nicely RAM saving, it has the problem that
incomplete, huge datagrams can basically DoS a node, if no further
fragmented datagram is received for a while (since the packet buffer is
full and GC is not triggered).
This change adds a asynchronous GC (utilizing the existing
functionality) to the reassembly buffer, so that even if there is no new
fragmented packet received, fragments older than `RBUF_TIMEOUT` will be
removed from the reassembly buffer, freeing up the otherwise wasted
packet buffer space.
Since IPHC also manipulates the total number of bytes of a received
datagram (by decompressing it), this also needs to be exposed. I guess
I was too focused on introducing a *generic* packet buffer for a future
virtual reassembly buffer (where it isn't needed, but so isn't `pkt` to
be honest), that I totally forgot about it in #9352.
This refactors the `gnrc_sixlowpan_frag` module for the API proposed
in #8511.
The `ctx` for `gnrc_sixlowpan_frag_send()` is required to be a
`gnrc_sixlowpan_msg_frag_t` object, so IPHC can later on use it to
provide the *original* datagram size (otherwise, we would need to adapt
the API just for that, which seems to me as convoluted as this
proposal).
I also provide an expose function with a future possibility to provide
more than just one `gnrc_sixlowpan_msg_frag_t` object later on (plus
having cleaner module separation in general).
While working on #9352 I noticed that the order of members in the
`gnrc_sixlowpan_msg_frag_t` struct costs us 4 bytes in RAM due to byte
alignment. This PR fixes the order of members, so they are the most
packed.
This exposes the parts of the reassembly buffer to be usable as context
as proposed in #8511.
I only exposed *parts of* for two reasons:
1. I don't need to expose further types (like `rbuf_int_t`), that are
not of interest outside of fragmentation.
2. This allows for an easy future extension for the virtual reassembly
buffer as proposed in [[1]].
This makes this change a little bit more involved, because instead of
just renaming the type, I also need to add the usage of the `super`
member, but I think in the end this little preparation work will be
beneficial in the future.

While browsing through the rendered doc, I found the precondition of
`gnrc_netreg_register()` somewhat lacking. What is a "message queue"?
`gnrc_netreg_entry_t`s have types. Does this apply for all types?
This specifies the requirement more: The calling thread **only** needs
a message queue (also provides a link to `msg_init_queue()` now for
further information), if the provided `gnrc_netreg_entry_t` is of type
`GNRC_NETREG_TYPE_DEFAULT` (i.e. thread-wise IPC).
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.
