[ECOS] Redboot networking problem

[ECOS] Redboot networking problem

[RONETIX - Ilko Iliev]

Hi,

I have a problem when I perform two http loads one after other (in 
Redboot) - the second load put the RedBoot in an endless loop.

If there is a small delay between the both loads, then sometimes it works.
If the the first load is a http and the second load a tftp, then the 
problem doesn't exist.

The endless loop is in tcp.c, __tcp_handler():
    for (prev = NULL, s = tcp_list; s; prev = s, s = s->next) {
        if (s->our_port == ntohs(tcp->dest_port)) {
        if (s->his_port == 0)

It loops forever because *s == s->next* and *s->our_port* and 
*ntohs(tcp->dest_port)* differs with one.

Can somebody try this situation?

Thank you for the report. This does sound like a bug. Are you using
recent sources (such as eCos 3.0)? If not, could you verify that this
issue exists with recent sources please? What type of file are you
loading (ELF, SREC, raw) and how long is it? Which processor and
ethernet part are you using?

The best way to raise formal bug reports is via our Bugzilla system:

  http://bugs.ecos.sourceware.org

This helps to keep all information in one place and to ensure prompt
investigation.

I tested with the latest eCos/Redboot.

Raw format, the file length doesn't matter, I tested with small (200 
bytes) and large files (1.5MB).

ARM7, S3C4530A (KS32C5000).

I will report the problem.

Hi,

I am finding same issue on iMX27 processor and am using LTIB Release 3. I
found that it is not dependent on size of file being downloaded. 
This issue is observed when http load is invoked twice in source code flow.
If http load is invoked from command prompt twice/thrice, no such issue is
seen. 

Please help in fixing this issue.

Regards,
Asha R

It should be fixed in the eCos trunk.

Hi Andrew,
Correct me if am wrong. Is this already fixed in ecos 3.0? 
I verified the same by taking tcp,http releated files to my code base.
The same behaviour is observerd.

Asha
