[PATCH v5 02/20] net: introduce alternative implementation as net-lwip/

Jerome Forissier jerome.forissier at linaro.org
Thu Jul 25 14:57:23 CEST 2024


Prepare the introduction of the lwIP (lightweight IP) TCP/IP stack by
adding a new net/lwip/ directory and the NET_LWIP symbol. Network
support is either NO_NET, NET (legacy stack) or NET_LWIP. Subsequent
commits will introduce the lwIP code, re-work the NETDEVICE integration
and port some of the NET commands and features to lwIP.

SPL_NET cannot be enabled when NET_LWIP=y. SPL_NET pulls some symbols
that are part of NET (such as arp_init(), arp_timeout_check(),
arp_receive(), net_arp_wait_packet_ip()). lwIP support in SPL may be
added later.

Similarly, DFU_TFTP and FASTBOOT are not compatible with NET_LWIP
because of dependencies on net_loop(), tftp_timeout_ms,
tftp_timeout_count_max and other NET things. Let's add a dependency on
!NET_LWIP for now.

As for SANDBOX, NET_LWIP cannot be used either because of strong
assumptions on the network stack. Make NET_LWIP depend on !SANDBOX so
that the NET_LWIP alternative is not visible in make menuconfig when
sandbox_defconfig is used.
