Adds basic support for IPv6. Neighbor discovery and ping6 are the only
things supported at the moment.

Now we have something functional. With this you can do something like
'setenv ipaddr6 3ffe::2' and 'ping6 3ffe::1' should work.

I seem to have a problem that when you send a ping6 for a non-existent
address that ends up stuck and the next non-ipv6 net operation tries to
resolve it. I suspect this is because the pending neighbor discovery
information isn't cleaned up properly, I need to look into that.

The environment variable prefixlength6 is a bit fiddly. No-one uses a
netmask6 (it'd mean a lot of ffff:ffff:...) it's almost always done by
including the prefix length in the address (e.g. ip addr add
2001:db8::1/64) I'm contemplating adopting that syntax and dropping
prefixlength6.

This patch is bigger than I'd like it to be but I'm not sure how to
split it up and keep the parts build able.

It is pretty huge. It's taken me a while to get through it.

This is added in the next patch, so should probably move there.

What makes ping inseparable from the core support?

I like the other nomenclature better as well (included in the address).

I think CONFIG_NET6 would be better here.

These should be added with the patch that adds the feature (TFTP6 for
sure, and probably PING6 when it is a separate patch).

UDP is shared between IP and IP6, right? There seems to be no reason
to call it IP6_UDPHDR_SIZE. I would go with UDP_HDR_SIZE, but of
course that is already defined. Seem like a good candidate to combine
with the existing implementation.

Maybe that means that struct ip_udp_hdr goes away or maybe it's
cleaner to keep it as well. Have to dive in to know.

Is this just assuming that since there is no gateway that the device
might be on the local segment even though the address is not on our
subnet?

Hi Joe,

I've answered a few questions below. I'll address your comments more
completely before sending another round next week (or I can sit on it
for longer if you want me to give you some breathing room).

Thanks for making the effort to review. I realise it's pretty huge and
I'll put some effort into splitting it futher. One obvious thing that
could be split out is the new environment variables.

Mainly testing, I can't test the core code without ping. But I can see
that from a patch submission point of few splitting it out will make
review easier.

I've actually already implemented the code to include the prefixlength
in the address and it makes things a lot more usable (the parsing code
is a bit more complicated).

I'll take a look. Maybe I can disentangle "ip" from ip_udp_hdr as an
prepatory patch.

Will fix. The original Allied Telesis implementation was based on a
fairly old verison and copied the non-standard net.c which was
recently updated to eliminate camelcase.

Also I was wondering about "ip6_ndisc" vs "ndisc". The latter is
sorter and kind of fits with "arp" for ipv4 but the difference is that
unlike arp, neigbor discovery actually operates over ipv6.

Yeah I might need to add some conditions on the configured address not
being the link local one.

I think it's fine to just use ndisc, since it is not going to be
ambiguous, but up to you if you want to change it.

It seems like if your ip is link local you don't want to use the
gateway even if you have one configured.

Great. Have you done any testing in sandbox? I'd really like to see
unit tests go in as part of this series.

I'll take a look. For the parsing etc that should be doable. I think I
may run into problems with the linux network stack getting in the way
for some of the link-local handling. Are there any existing tests for
the networking code?

Yes, there is test/dm/eth.c that does some pinging to test out the
Ethernet stack.

Also, sandbox has drivers/net/sandbox-raw.c that allows sandbox to
interact with the host network adapter. See
board/sandbox/README.sandbox

Cheers,
