The transport segmented TX nack and seg_pending fields must be at least
6 bits to avoid overflow for 32 segment messages. This change rearranges
the seg_tx fields to gather all state flag fields in one byte, while
making the counter fields whole bytes.
Ensures that friend messages are enqueued, even if the packet is
received with an appkey is unknown to the friend. Previously, sdu_recv
would return EINVAL if the appkey was unknown, which would prevent the
lower transport layer from adding the packet to the friend queue. This
is irrelevant for the logic in lower transport, and should not be
returned as an error.
Device name will be reset when deinit mesh stack. If not
initializing device name during the next mesh stack init,
it will fail to set the device name when using bluedroid.
Since bt_mesh_friend_init() will only be invoked when
a device is provisioned or Provisioner is enabled, so
we add a flag to indicate if the friend functionality
is initialized in case deinit before initialization.
Old version of BLE Mesh has no device role storage, because
previously we only support storing mesh node info.
If the binary of the node is upgraded from old version to a
new version (support storing provisioner info), the mesh info
of the node will not be restored because mesh role does not
exist in the flash.
When fast provisioning is enabled, Provisioner shall not
ignore messages from the nodes whose addresses are not in
the provisioning database. Because other nodes which are
not provisioned by the Primary Provisioner will send node
address messages to the Primary Provisioner.
When using fast provisioning, the Provisioner functionality
will be enabled. Unicast addresses within the pre-allocated
range will be used for provisioning nodes. And during the
address assignment, the allocated unicast address will be
checked that if it's duplicated with other nodes addresses
and the Provisioner's own addresses.
So before starting using fast provisioning, we need to update
the Provisioner address.
Since the behavior of sending segmented messages has been
changed properly, the calculation of timeout value which
will be used when sending an acknowledged message by a
client model also needs to be updated.
Add mutex to protect some variables of the mesh segmented
messages.
Currently the timeout handler of mesh will be executed in
the btc task, while the received mesh messages will be
handled in the btu task. In case some variables are set to
NULL when handled in the btu task, meanwhile these variables
are also accessed in the timeout handler, so we add mutex to
protect these variables and related operations.
The publication context is checked for NULL in bt_mesh_model_publish()
however it was dereferenced before that. Move the assignment to
ctx.send_rel to the same place where other ctx members are set.
Split mesh_util.h into mesh_byteorder.h, mesh_compiler.h,
mesh_ffs.h and mesh_util.h based on the classification of
Zephyr, which will make further porting more clear.
The Friend queue uses the message SeqAuth to determine whether the
message is already in the queue. To facilitate this, the SeqAuth is
passed around as a pointer throughout the transport modules. In the
bt_mesh_ctl_send functions, this parameter is also exposed in the API,
but the internal usage is inconsistent and buggy. Also, no one actually
uses this parameter.
- Removes seq_auth param from bt_mesh_ctl_send, instead passing NULL
directly to the friend module, to enforce its addition to the queue.
- Makes the seq_auth pointer const throughout the friend module.
Changes the behavior of the message cache to optimize for cache
capacity. Previously, the message cache's primary function was to avoid
decrypting messages multiple times, although the cache's main function
in the spec is to avoid message rebroadcasting. Optimizing for minimal
decryption causes us to fill the network cache faster, which in turn
causes more cache misses, potentially outweighing the advantage.
Now stores src + seq in message cache instead of field hash value. This
cuts cache size in two, while including more of the sequence number than
before.
Adds messages to the cache only after the packet is successfully
decrypted. This reduces noise in the cache, and ensures that no
invalid deobfuscations are added.
Additionally, this fixes a bug where multiple calls to net_decrypt with
the same packet failed, as the message cache found its own entry from
the previous call.
Implements several changes to the transport layer segmented tx to
improve group message performance:
- Moves retransmit counter to tx context instead of per packet. As every
unacked packet is sent every retransmit, the retransmit counters would
be the same in each segment. This makes it easier to control progress.
- Delays the scheduling of the retransmit until the completion of the
last segment by adding a seg_pending counter. This is essentially the
same as the old behavior, except that the old behavior might retrigger
the sending before all segments are finished if the advertising is
slow.
- Allows the group transmits to stop as soon as all retransmits have
been exhausted, instead of timing out waiting for acks that won't
come. This allows group tx to finish without error.
- Fixes a bug where a failed TX would block IV update.
- Cancels any pending transmissions of acked segments.
- Reduces log level for several common group tx scenarios that aren't
erronous.
