o Show more information about missing MP fragments in ``show mp''.
o Do away with mbuf_Log(). It was showing mbuf stats twice on
receipt of LCP/CCP/IPCP packets.... ???!!?
o Pre-allocate a bit extra when creating LQR packets to avoid having
to allocate another mbuf in mbuf_Prepend().
the layering.
We now ``stack'' layers as soon as we open the device (when we figure
out what we're dealing with). A static set of `dispatch' routines are
also declared for dealing with incoming packets after they've been
`pulled' up through the stacked layers.
Physical devices are now assigned handlers based on the device type
when they're opened. For the moment there are three device types;
ttys, execs and tcps.
o Increment version number to 2.2
o Make an entry in [uw]tmp for non-tty -direct invocations (after
pap/chap authentication).
o Make throughput counters quad_t's
o Account for the absolute number of mbuf malloc()s and free()s in
``show mem''.
o ``show modem'' becomes ``show physical''.
when we've simply missed a packet.
When our Predictor1 CRC is wrong (implying we've dropped
a packet), don't send a ResetReq(). Instead, send another
CCP ConfigReq(). *shrug* My tests show this as being far
worse than the ResetReq as we may have further Nak/Rejs etc
and we're basically resetting both our incoming and outgoing
compression dictionaries, but rfc1978 says the ConfigReq is
correct, so we'd better go along...
(see the new ``set callback'' and ``set cbcp'' commands)
o Add a ``cbcp'' log level and mbuf type.
o Don't dump core when \T is given in ``set login'' or
``set hangup''.
o Allow ``*'' and blanks as placeholders in ppp.secret and
allow a fifth field for specifying auth/cbcp dialback
parameters.
o Remove a few extraneous #includes
o Define the default number of REQs (restart counter) in defs.h
rather than hardcoding ``5'' all over the place.
o Fix a few man page inconsistencies.
o Bring the static ``ttystate'' into struct prompt so that
the tilde context is per prompt and not global.
o Comment the remaining static variables so that it's
clear why they're static.
o Add some XXX comments suggesting that our interface list
and our hostname should be re-generated after a signal
(say SIGUSR1) so that a machine with PCCARDs has a chance.
(I completely mis-read the rfc last time 'round!)
This means:
o Better CCP/WARN Reset diagnostics.
o After we've sent a REQ and before we've received an ACK, we drop
incoming compressed data and send another REQ.
o Before sending an ACK, re-sequence all pending PRI_NORMAL data in
the modem queue so that pending packets won't get to the peer
*after* the ResetAck.
o Send ACKs with the `identifier' from the REQ frame.
o After we've received a correct ACK, duplicate ACKs are ok (and will
reset our history).
o Incorrect ACKs (not matching the last REQ) are moaned about and dropped.
Also,
o Calculate the correct FCS after compressing a packet. DEFLATE
*may* produce an mbuf with more than a single link in the chain,
but HdlcOutput didn't know how to calculate the FCS :-(
o Make `struct fsm'::reqid a u_char, not an int.
This fix will prevent us from sending id `255' 2,000,000,000 times
before wrapping to `0' for another 2,000,000,000 sends :-/
o Bump the version number a little.
The end result: DEFLATE now works over an unreliable link layer.
I can txfr a 1.5Mb kernel over a (rather bad) null-modem
cable at an average of 21679 bytes per second using rcp.
Repeat after me: Don't test compression using a loopback ppp/tcp setup as
we never lose packets and therefore never have to reset!
When CCP is originally negotiated, the only thing we can be
sure about is that we've started adding data to the inflate
dictionary either before or at the same time as the peer. This
is ok, 'cos DEFLATE is a `sliding window' compressor.
We must call inflate again in case there's any pending output
despite our input buffer being empty. If the output buffer
is in fact already flushed, inflate() returns Z_BUF_ERROR.
There isn't really an error !
(I *really* meant to do this *before* committing the
deflate changes in the first place - oops).
Pppd is horribly broken in this respect - refer to the
ppp man page for details. Ppp *WON'T* negotiate deflate
with pppd by default - you must ``enable'' and ``accept''
``pppd-deflate'' in your config.
While I'm in there, update the cftypes in ccp.c so that
we recognise some more protocols (we don't actually do
anything with them - just send a REJ).
