[lwip-devel] [bug #21433] Calling mem_free/pbuf_free from interrupt context isn't safe

[Simon Goldschmidt]

Follow-up Comment #21, bug #21433 (project lwip):

> Well, the point was to allow mem_free from other contexts such as

of fish.

Of course. Maybe I don't fully understand your approach. I try to summarize
the changes:

- The change is only valid if the heap is protected by SYS_ARCH_PROTECT, not
if it is protected using a semaphore
- In mem_malloc, in the big for loop, we include the
SYS_ARCH_UNPROTECT/SYS_ARCH_PROTECT/check like you stated in comment #10 to
allow mem_free to run in that case and keep the max time interrupts are
disabled low (short: "blip phase" :)

But in this case, how do you keep mem_malloc from running again while another
thread is in the "blip phase"?
