This implies all lwIP * callback functions are called in IRQ context, which may cause further * problems in application code: IRQ is blocked for a long time, multiple * execution contexts in application code etc. When the application wants * to call lwIP, it only needs to disable interrupts during the call. * If timers are involved, even more locking code is needed to lock out * timer IRQ and ethernet IRQ from each other, assuming these may be nested. * * 2) Run lwIP in a mainloop. There is example code here: @ref lwip_nosys. * lwIP is _ONLY_ called from mainloop callstacks here. The ethernet IRQ * has to put received telegrams into a queue which is polled in the * mainloop. Ensure lwIP is _NEVER_ called from an interrupt, e.g. * some SPI IRQ wants to forward data to udp_send() or tcp_write()! * * OS Mode * ------- * In OS mode, @ref callbackstyle_api AND @ref sequential_api can be used. * @ref sequential_api are designed to be called from threads other than * the TCPIP thread, so there is nothing to consider here. * But @ref callbackstyle_api functions must _ONLY_ be called from * TCPIP thread. It is a common error to call these from other threads * or from IRQ contexts. ​Ethernet RX needs to deliver incoming packets * in the correct way by sending a message to TCPIP thread, this is * implemented in tcpip_input().​​ * Again, ensure lwIP is _NEVER_ called from an interrupt, e.g. * some SPI IRQ wants to forward data to udp_send() or tcp_write()! * * 1) tcpip_callback() can be used get called back from TCPIP thread, * it is safe to call any @ref callbackstyle_api from there. * * 2) Use @ref LWIP_TCPIP_CORE_LOCKING. All @ref callbackstyle_api * functions can be called when lwIP core lock is aquired, see * @ref LOCK_TCPIP_CORE() and @ref UNLOCK_TCPIP_CORE(). * These macros cannot be used in an interrupt context! * Note the OS must correctly handle priority inversion for this. */ /** * @page bugs Reporting bugs * Please report bugs in the lwIP bug tracker at savannah.\n * BEFORE submitting, please check if the bug has already been reported!\n * https://savannah.nongnu.org/bugs/?group=lwip */ /** * @defgroup lwip_nosys Mainloop mode ("NO_SYS") * @ingroup lwip * Use this mode if you do not run an OS on your system. \#define NO_SYS to 1. * Feed incoming packets to netif->input(pbuf, netif) function from mainloop, * *not* *from* *interrupt* *context*.
