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.
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.
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.
The replay protection list of Provisioner should be at least equal
to the number of nodes with the precondition that each node contains
only one element.
The help information of replay protection list is updated, and the
maximum number of nodes for Provisioner is adjusted based on the
replay protection list size.
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.

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.
