Fixes#3884
Implement getifaddrs and freeifaddrs within the libc using socket
control files at the VFS. Add an "address" and "netmask" file to the
lwIP plugin.
Only a single IPv4 address is initially supported, and the broadcast
address returned will never be valid.
Fixes#3439
Start and stop the DHCP state machine as the Nic link-state changes.
Invoke the link state handler during configuration rather than assume
that in the case of a downed link lwIP will defer DHCP until the link
comes up.
Additionally, support static DNS configuration via the "nameserver"
configuration attribute.
Fix#3388
The VFS LwIP plugin is page-faulting on connect error because the LwIP
library frees a failed TCP protocol control block before calling the
error callback, and then the VFS plugin dereferences the PCB to free it
a second time. This problem was caused by a failure to follow
documentation during a transition from a C callback to a C++ method.
Fix#2972
LwIP skips a packet copy by wrapping Nic stream buffer regions in LwIP
pbuf objects. Move from a fixed size array to a potentially unbounded
slab allocator for managing this buffer metadata.
Ref #2335
This patch reintroduces the LwIP stack to libc as a VFS plugin
implementing the socket_fs interface. Rather than use LwIP's socket
emulation layer this plugin interfaces directly to LwIP raw API and is
single threaded.
The internal TCP parameters of the stack are untuned.
Fix#2050Fix#2335
Rename LwIP library in preparation for removal of LwIP libc plugin. The
current LwIP library will be replaced with a new version stripped of its
synchronous socket support. The next version will be incompatible with
the current, so removing 'lwip.lib.so' completely for a period makes it
easy to identify legacy users.
Fix#2797
The TCP window scaling is implemented for servers (like netperf's
netserver) only. The client implementation just uses the lower 16 bits
of the TCP_WND configuration value, which we therefore maximize to ~64K.
This patch changes the top-level directory layout as a preparatory
step for improving the tools for managing 3rd-party source codes.
The rationale is described in the issue referenced below.
