using the scatter/gather array to transfer the link
information. The whole link is now passed in one message.
This is far better than the two `/bin/cat' processes per additional
link :-) I remember years ago thinking that file descriptor
transferral would be a really amazing facility !

o Use _PATH_DEVNULL rather than "/dev/null"
o Be more paranoid about nuking running timers when
transferring links.
log debug'' without filling our filesystem/screen with
junk that we don't really want to see.
o change PHYS_STDIN to PHYS_DIRECT - we can handle incoming
connections that aren't on STDIN_FILENO now.
o Allow return values from our FSM LayerUp functions. If
LayerUp() fails, the FSM does an immediate FsmDown() without
calling the fsm_parent's Layer{Up,Down} functions.
o Clear the close-on-exec flag of file descriptor 3 when executing
chat programs so that our documented ability to communicate with
/dev/tty via that descriptor works. Also document it as
descriptor 3, not 4 :-O
o Allow a ``rm'' command as an alias for ``remove''.
o Fix the bind()/connect()/accept() calls made by the MP server.
o Create bundle_SendDatalink() and bundle_ReceiveDatalink().
This allows `struct datalink's to flatten themselves, pass
through a pipe (read: the eye of a needle !) and come alive
at the other end. The donator then fork()s & exec()s pppmpipe,
``passing'' the connection to another ppp instance.
*** PPP NOW TALKS MULTILINK :-))) ***
Our link utilization is hideous, and lots of code needs
tidying still. It's also probably riddled with bugs !
It's been tested against itself only, and has hung once,
so confidence isn't high....
o Create struct mpserver as part of struct mp.
mpserver creates a unix-domain socket based on the
peers auth name and endpoint discriminator. If it
already exists, ppp will ``pass the link'' over to
the owner of the socket, joining it into the bundle
of another ppp invocation, otherwise ppp waits for
other invocations to pass it links through this
socket.
The final piece of code will be the code that flattens
our datalink info and passes it down this channel
(not yet implemented).
we've determined if we're going to join another ppp invocation.
o Make ``show link'' show all link details, and ``show links''
just give a list of links and their current status.
o Show our current label in ``show bundle''.
o Allow link cloning and removal as soon as our MRRU is set.
o Make ``show lcp'' require context as nothing will ever change
in our MP LCP (it's auto-configured as per rfc1990).
o Initialise our LQM owner in hdlc_Init().
o Store our endpoint discriminator and authentication name at both
the datalink and multilink level and compare them when we've
finished AUTHENTICATE phase and before entering NETWORK phase.
If they don't match, close the link again.
Display the information in the appropriate ``show'' command.
o Initialise datalink::phone and datalink::fsmp.object properly
when we're cloning the link.
o Show which link we're passing LQRs on in our diagnostics.
o Reject endpoint discriminator REQs at the logical multilink
level.
o Remove the rest of our CARRIER and LINK logging setup.
call it after link authentication.
o Pretty print our bundle MTU.
o Correct MP header encoding and decoding (should be network byte order).
o Add some debug diagnostics so that we can see MP fragment sending and
re-assembly.
o Don't go multilink if the peer hasn't agreed
o When negotiating multilink, don't try to push the peers
MRU up according to our `set mtu' setting. Instead, accept
whatever MRU they want and push their MRRU up instead.
o When *not* negotiating multilink, REJ short sequence number
REQs.
multilink ('cos I've seen my ISP REQ it without multilink).
Setting MRRU is ifdef'd out until it's debugged and we can
merge -direct links with other running programs.
Fix MTU setting.
call datalink_Down() where appropriate rather than
modem_Hangup().
o Now, when something horrible happens (failed read/write, loss
of carrier etc), we go offline and run any hangup scripts etc
in a controlled manner - exactly the same as if someone says
``down'' at the prompt or sends us a HUP.
o -dedicated links that fail to make the modem raw close it,
suffer the redial timeout then try to open it again.
o Add a ``carrier lost'' warning diagnostic.
bundle (non-negotiated vars) or to their respective IPCP,
LCP or CCP.
o Enable rolling throughput statistics by default.
o Remove the `display' command. These values now appear in
`show bundle', `show ipcp', `show ccp' and `show lcp'.
o Initialise auth name & key at bundle create time (oops).
o Rename pppd-deflate (the id-24 hack) to deflate24.
o Don't send both a REJ and a NAK to an IPCP or LCP REQ.
Favour the REJ (already done at the CCP level).
o Recurse in datalink_UpdateSet() when we change state, otherwise
we end up setting no descriptors and getting jammed in the
imminent select() instead of doing the dial/login/hangup.
o Display our CHAP encryption method despite being built with DES.
o Display VJ as not negotiated in ``show ipcp'' when necessary.
o Shuffle things that live at the datalink level into
``show link'' rather than ``show modem''.
o Make both ``show'' commands prettier and more consistent,
and display carrier status, link type and our name in
``show modem''.
o Show redial and reconnect information in ``show link''
and remove ``show redial'' and ``show reconnect''.
o Down the correct link in bundle_LinkLost().
o Remove stale -direct and -background links at the end
of our main loop, not when we know they're going. This
prevents unexpected pointer-invalidations...
o If we ``set server'' with the same values twice, notice
and don't moan about failure.
o Record dial script despite our link mode. The mode may
be changed later (next mod) :-) We never run scripts
in -direct and -dedicated modes.
o Make ``set server none'' functional again.
o Correct datalink state array so that we don't report an
``unknown'' state.
o Pass struct ipcp to IpcpCleanInterface, not struct fsm.
o Create TUN_PREFIX define rather than hard-coding in main.c
o prompt_TtyInit now handles a NULL prompt for -direct mode
rather than having to create one then destroy it uncleanly.
o Mention our mode in the "PPP Started" LogPHASE message.
o Bring all auto links up when we have something to send.
o Remove some redundant Physical_*() functions.
o Show which connection is running a command when logging
commands.
o Initialise throughput uptime correctly.
o Move Var*Version into command.c
o Remove struct pppVars (and there was much rejoicing) !
o Forward-decl some structs in .h files to avoid include
ordering requirements and remove a few more redundant
#includes.
option. We never ask a client for MSChap when we've got
chap `enabled', and we dynamically answer using MSChap
if the peer demands it.
o Remove all of the bundle2*() series of functions except
bundle2datalink() as they're too expensive. The only
calls to bundle2datalink() are made from command.c when
determining context.
o Write to the correct modem in term mode, and check the
return value, dropping back to command mode if the write
fails.
Cosmetic:
Make the PPP COMMAND LIST section of the man page
prettier, better and more consistent. Alphabeticalise
all command lists and document missing commands.
o Our diagnostic socket has its password set in the `set socket'
line only (not in ppp.secret).
o Passwords are per server socket (*VarAuthKey are gone)
o Authority is per prompt (VarLocalAuth is gone).
o Local logging is per prompt.
o Add a `show who' command to see who's connected. No identd
routine - just a `where the connection came from' display.
o SIGUSR1 is disabled for now - we have no way of choosing a
password for the socket created :-(
Prompts are attached as a list of `struct descriptor's in
struct bundle, and serviced under the bundles descriptor
service routines. Ultimately, everything should be done
like this.
Cosmetic:
o alphabeticalise SRCS in Makefile.
o Add a few comments in command.h
TODO: Start checking that we don't overflow the descriptor sets
in select() now that we can have any number of descriptors.
struct lcp and display them in `show lcp'.
o Remove `show mru' and `show mtu' and make the data part of
`show lcp'. Also merge `set m[tr]u' and `set openmode'
implementations into the SetVariable function.
o `set timeout' only accepts the idle timer value as an argument.
o Move our lqr period into struct lcp, and create a `set lqrperiod'
command. Display it in `show lcp'.
o Remove VarRetryTimeout, and implement it at the LCP, PAP, CHAP,
CCP and IPCP levels, creating individual `set XXXretry' commands
for each. They must be separate because they have different
context requirements in multilink mode.
o Display default config values in `show ccp'.
o Tart the man page up a bit (wrt PPP/TCP, compression and LQR) and
explain the new commands.
o Remove bundle2lcp(), bundle2ccp() and bundle2link().
They're too resource-hungry and we have `owner pointers'
to do their job.
o Make our FSM understand LCPs that are always ST_OPENED
(with a minimum code that != 1).
o Send FSM code rejects for invalid codes.
o Make our bundle fsm_parent deal with multiple links.
o Make timer diagnostics pretty and allow access via ~t
in `term' mode (not just when logging debug) and
`show timers'. Only show timers every second in debug
mode, otherwise we get too many diagnostics to be useful
(we probably still do). Also, don't restrict ~m in term
mode to depend on debug logging.
o Rationalise our bundles' phases.
o Create struct mp (multilink protocol). This is both an
NCP and a type of struct link. It feeds off other NCPs
for output, passing fragmented packets into the queues
of available datalinks. It also gets PROTO_MP input,
reassembles the fragments into ppp frames, and passes
them back to the HDLC layer that the fragments were passed
from.
** It's not yet possible to enter multilink mode :-( **
o Add `set weight' (requires context) for deciding on a links
weighting in multilink mode. Weighting is simplistic (and
probably badly implemented) for now.
o Remove the function pointers in struct link. They ended up
only applying to physical links.
o Configure our tun device with an MTU equal to the MRU from
struct mp's LCP and a speed equal to the sum of our link
speeds.
o `show {lcp,ccp,proto}' and `set deflate' now have optional
context and use ChooseLink() to decide on which `struct link'
to use. This allows behaviour as before when in non-multilink
mode, and allows access to the MP logical link in multilink
mode.
o Ignore reconnect and redial values when in -direct mode and
when cleaning up. Always redial when in -ddial or -dedicated
mode (unless cleaning up).
o Tell our links to `staydown' when we close them due to a signal.
o Remove remaining `#ifdef SIGALRM's (ppp doesn't function without
alarms).
o Don't bother strdup()ing our physical link name.
o Various other cosmetic changes.
Increment OutPackets for any packet - not just LQRs
MFC:
o Fix a few comment typos.
o Fix ``set timeout'' usage message and documentation.
o Change ifOutPackets, ifOutOctets and ifOutLQRs to `u_int32_t's
so that they wrap correctly.
o Put the LQR in network byte order using the correct struct size
(sizeof u_int32_t, not sizeof u_long).
o Wrap LQR ECHO counters correctly.
o Don't increment OutLQR count if the last LQR hasn't been replied
to.
o Initialise last received LQR in StartLqm.
o Don't start the LQR timer if we're `disabled' and `accepted'.
o Generate LQR responses when both sides are using a timer and
we're not going to send our next LQR before the peers max timeout.
Struct bundle will have its own struct ccp in the future
too.
o The ``set stopped'' command now requires context and doesn't
work on the IPCP FSM.
o Check if it's time to break out of our top level loop before
doing a select - otherwise, we'll select forever :-(
o Remove `struct link'::ccp (a temporary hack). It turns out
that IpStartOutput() calls link_Output() and link_Output()
incorrectly calls StartOutput() (really modem_StartOutput)
requiring the ccp knowledge so that it can call
IpStartOutput()... The end result is that the whole IP
output queue gets dumped into the modem output queue
and a pile of physical writes are done prematurely. This
makes the (original) code in main() actually work in that
it would not bother selecting() on the tun descriptor when
our modem queue length was 20 or greater. Instead, we now
make that decision based on the overall queue length.
This will need improvement later.
is available, but LCP hasn't yet been started. We get to this
state in ``term'' mode.
Remove PacketMode(). LCP startup and shutdown is now controlled
by the datalink.
Add ``show links'' command.
Make ``close'' capable of running with and without a context.
Make ``down'' require a context.
Make ``set parity'' and ``set rtscts'' use the correct context.
datalink_Up() can now be told to skip the dial/login/hangup
scripts and can be told whether to enter packet mode when
entering the DATALINK_OPENED state.
