RE : [lwip-users] Callbacks

[Frédéric BERNON]

Both integration are different :

- for status callbacks, most of the job is already done. I have to set 
LWIP_NETIF_STATUS_CALLBACK=1 in your lwipopts.h. In your "ethernetif_init" call 
netif_set_status_callback(...) to provide a status_callback for your netif. 
Implement your status_callback. Since the only parameter this callback got is 
the netif*, you can call netif_is_up to know if the netif is up or down. Don't 
forget this callback is most of time running in the "core" context (the 
tcpip_thread by example). So, don't do a long processing in this callback 
(because you "block" all other processing - input packets processing, api 
calls...).

Some code snippet for status handling:

err_t
ethernetif_init(struct netif *netif)
{
  ...
  netif_set_status_callback( netif, myapp_status_change_handler); <<<<<< HERE, 
your "application level" callback
  ...
}

- for link status, a part of the job is done, but not the "event" part: you 
have to LWIP_NETIF_LINK_CALLBACK=1 in your lwipopts.h, and call 
netif_set_link_up() and netif_set_link_down() when your link change of state. 
You can poll that with a thread or perhaps use an interrupt and an event. Since 
the "netif_set_link_up" calls "core" functions (to send a "gratuitous ARP" 
and/or resend IGMP reports), it could be better to do that in the "core" 
context. So, like for "status", don't do a long processing in this callback. I 
think the best is to use a tcpip_callback() or a tcpip_timeout() call to 
"switch" in the tcpip_thread context. tcpip_callback() can be used if there is 
no delay between the time where the link "up", and the time where you can send 
packets. If there is a delay, tcpip_timeout() can be better. Note it's not 
mandatory to call netif_set_link_callback() if you don't want inform your 
"application level", but just want to do "link up" processings.

Some code snippet for link state:

err_t
ethernetif_init(struct netif *netif)
{
  ...
  netif_set_link_callback( netif, myapp_link_change_handler); <<<<<< HERE, your 
"application level" callback
  ...
}

...

void
ethernetif_interrupt_or_event() <<<<<< HERE, any "context" which see the link 
state change
{
  ...
  /* check the link current state */
  if (my_driver_is_link_up_variable_name) {
    /* Process the link change in tcpip_thread context in 1sec */
    tcpip_timeout(1000, netif_set_link_up, (void*)netif);
  } else {
    /* Process the link change in tcpip_thread context asap */
    tcpip_callback(netif_set_link_down, (void*)netif);
  }
  ...
}

I was wondering the same. my code has a lot of stuff to try and deal with DHCP 
etc, would be nice if there was a small demo which show the correct/nice way 
using callbacks and status callbacks.
