Hello,
the SYS_ARCH_DECL_PROTECT protection mechanism makes
no sense to me. It never did.
It protects pbuf->ref count against concurrent read-write-modify
actions, alright.
But as the rest of the pbuf fields and code is not protected against
concurrent use (let alone the rest of the lwIP core) I see no real
world use of it.
RFC: Remove this from the stack.
Regards,
Leon.
