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.
Backport of https://github.com/apache/mynewt-nimble/pull/724
Mesh spec 1.0.1 changes proxy disabling behavior to only affect the
relaying from proxy nodes. Previously, disabling proxy would shut down
all proxy and node activity.
Tweaks from the original commit:
- Removed redundant call to bt_mesh_adv_update() in gatt_proxy_set()
- Removed invalid ref to 4.2.11.1 in node_identity_set()
---
According to Mesh Profile Spec 1.0.1, Section 4.2.11:
"If the Proxy feature is disabled, a GATT client device can connect
over GATT to that node for configuration and control. Messages from
the GATT bearer are not relayed to the advertising bearer."
Moreover some notes have been removed from the spec compared to
version 1.0:
Mesh Profile Spec 1.0, Section 4.2.11:
"Upon transition from GATT Proxy state 0x01 to GATT Proxy state 0x00
the GATT Bearer Server shall disconnect all GATT Bearer Clients."
"The Configuration Client should turn off the Proxy state as the last
step in the configuration process."
Mesh Profile Spec 1.0, Section 4.2.11.1:
"When the GATT Proxy state is set to 0x00, the Node Identity state
for all subnets shall be set to 0x00 and shall not be changed."
Until now the choice of reliable sending (segmented messages with
acks) was implicitly dependent on the size of the payload. Add a new
member to the bt_mesh_model_pub to force using segment acks even when
the payload would fit a single unsegmented message.
When PB-GATT support has been enabled the provisioning code "borrows"
the buffer from the proxy code. However, the way that initialization
was happening the proxy buffers were initialized only after
provisioning initialization, resulting in a corrupted buffer with
buf->data pointing to NULL. Reorder the initialization calls so that
proxy is done first and provisioning only after it.
Allow models to skip a periodic publish interval by returning an error
from the publish update callback.
Previously, an error return from publish update would cancel periodic
publishing. This can't be recovered from, and as such, no valid model
implementation could return an error from this callback, and there was
no way to skip a periodic publish.
The function bt_mesh_ctl_send() used to support maximum length of
11 bytes. The segmentation complies with the BLE Mesh Standard.
The ack is disabled in case of non unicast address.
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.
Previously only mesh node info is supported to be stored
in flash. So when trying to reset the node, we only need
to judge if the BLE_MESH_VALID flag is set.
Currently we support storing both node & Provisioner info
in flash, when trying to erase the node info from flash,
the BLE_MESH_NODE flag will be checked. So we need to set
bt_mesh.flags to 0 when all the erase operations are done.
During BLE Mesh Provisioner initialization, the stack will restore
the nodes information if settings storage is enabled.
Previously when a failure happens (e.g. found the same uuid) during
the restore procedure, the information of the following nodes will
not be restored and error will be directly returned.
But this will introduce some problem with user experience, because
some newly provisioned nodes information will not be restored and
Provisioner will not be able to control those nodes.
So we change the operation here, when a failure happens during the
restore procedure, Provisioner will only ignore the information of
the current node and continue restoring other nodes information.
With this change, if a Provisioner has provisioned the maximum
number of nodes, it can still report the unprovisioned device
beacon from other nodes to the application layer. And this will
be more reasonable compared with the previous implementation.
Previously when the node array of Provisioner is full, no beacon
from unprovisioned devices will be reported, only some warning
logs will be given.
Previously only check the node address when it is assigned by the
application layer. Here we also check the address when the address
is allocated internally. And this will be useful when some mesh
internal tests are performed.
Previously the BLE_MESH_MAX_STORED_NODES option is added for
internal mesh test, which will be a little confusing for the
users to understand.
Here we remove this option, instead the BLE_MESH_MAX_PROV_NODES
will be used for all the cases. For mesh internal test, when
the test function is called to add some nodes info, the info
will be stored in the array of provisioned nodes directly.
Using the ble mesh white list test functions, a node can choose to
only receive mesh messages from a specific node and relay the
messages for it. Messages from other nodes will be ignored.

When node is being reset, the init functions of each sig-defined
models will be invoked again, this will cause memory leak because
some model internal data will be allocated again.
Hence before trying to allocate memory for them, we add some check
to make sure no memory has been allocated previously.
And for client model, when the init functions are invoked again,
we will clear the list items.
The upper transport layer is using big endian ordering. The
PreviousAddress field of a Friend Request message should therefore
be converted to native endianess using sys_cpu_to_be16().
If the duration to publish is roughly the same as the period, we might
end up with elapsed == period, which returns 0 and cancel the periodic
publication. Instead 1 should be returned, just like when the elapsed
time is greater than the period.
Previously the FastPeriodDivisor value was introduced to the model
publication struct. Based on the way it was grouped it seems the
intention was to fit it within the same octet as other bit fields,
but it actually makes the octet overflow by one bit. This ends up
creating another u8_t variable which in turn adds 24 bits of padding
after it.
To keep the size of the struct as compact as possible, group the flag
together with the key index, since that only requires 12 bits. Some
care is needed here, since the mesh stack does have special internal
key index values that require more than 12 bits such as
BLE_MESH_KEY_UNUSED and BLE_MESH_KEY_DEV. In this case restricting
ourselves to 12 bits is fine since the value in the model publication
struct follows 1:1 the value received in the Config Model Publication
Set message, and there the parameter is defined to be exactly 12 bits.
For Low Power node and Proxy Server, the two features
depend on BLE_MESH_NODE in Kconfig.in, here in the
stack there is no need to judge if CONFIG_BLE_MESH_NODE
is enabled.
According to Mesh Spec 3.4.5.3, a node shall implement a local
network interface. And here we limit the situation just based
on the spec, and Provisioner directly sending the msg without
passing through the local network interface.
The 16-bit format group addresses will be stored,
but we don't store (or restore) the virtual label UUIDs,
i.e. after a power cycle the 16-bit group addresses
would be meaningless.
Creates macros for determining model message lengths based on opcode,
payload length and MIC size. Also adds macro wrapping
NET_BUF_SIMPLE_DEFINE to serve the most common use case.
Re-encrypts single-segment application messages when the network seqnum
has changed, to avoid encrypting messages with different seqnums in
network and transport. This operation is only required for unsegmented
messages, as segmented messages don't need to use the same seqnum in
network.
Reinstates the special adv data for friend messages to store the app key
index.
Stores friend queue packets unencrypted, removing any out-of-order
issues caused by seqnum allocation. Also moves as much of the metadata
storage as possible into the packet, allowing us to free up some bytes
of net_buf user data for friend packets.
