7deb24484c This comment converts the underlying IPC used by the UserFS from Unix domain local sockets to UDP LocalHost loopback sockets. The problem with the local sockets is that they do require operations on the top level psuedo-file system inode tree. That tree must be locked during certain traversals such as enumerate mountpoints or enumerating directory entries.
This conversion is unfortunate in the sense that Unix local domain sockets are relatively lightweight.  LocalHost UDP sockets are much heavier weight since they rely on the full UDP stack.  If anyone is up for a complete redesign, then using some shared memory and a POSIX message queue would be lightweight again.

This commit also fixes several bugs that were not testable before the inode tree deadlock.  I cannot say that the logic is 100% stable but it does not have basic functionality.

Squashed commit of the following:

    fs/userfs:  Order locking so that access to the shared I/O buffer is also locked.
    fs/userfs:  Converts to use LocalHost UDP loopback for IPC.

70c59a9d91 This commit adds support for semi-standard IPPROTO_ICMP6 sockets. This is a replacement for the non-standard ICMPv6 ping support that violated the portable POSIX OS interface.
Squashed commit of the following:

    net/icmpv6: IPPROT_ICMP6 socket logic now builds without error.
    net/icmpv6:  Add support for read-ahead and poll(). Initial commit is just cloned from ICMP with the appropriate name changes.
    configs/:  All defconfig filess that include CONFIG_NET_ICMPv6_SOCKET=y need to select CONFIG_SYSTEM_PING6=y and deselect CONFIG_DISABLE_POLL.
    Update NSH documention to show that ping6 is now a built in command.
    net/icmpv6:  Add icmpv6_sendto.c and icmpv6_recvfrom.c.  Initial versions are just clones from icmp/ with appropriate name changes.
    net/icmpv6:  Clone some ICMP socket logic as the beginning of support for ICMPv6 socket support.
    Rename CONFIG_NET_ICMPv6_PING to CONFIG_NET_ICMPv6_SOCKET.  Move prototype for icmpv6_ping from include/nuttx/net/icmpv6 to net/icmpv6/icmpv6.h

2a93c66948 include/nuttx/net/netdev.h and several Ethernet drivers in arch/: Most network drivers to not support statistics. Those that do only support them when DEBUG is enabled. Each driver collects an architecture specific set of statistics and there is no mechanism in place to view those statistics. Thus, the driver feature was mostly useless. This change standardizes the driver statistics and puts the definition in the common network device structure defined in netdev.h where they can be accessed by network applications. All Ethernet drivers that collect statistics have been adapted to use these common statistics. 2015-11-26 12:08:09 -06:00
