SSL crash

[zaxl]

Hi,

If i call espconn_secure_disconnect() from receive_callback() the SDK randomly crashes crashes - tried with both 1.1.2 and 1.2 .

I'm using - https://github.com/zazolabs/esphttpclient.git

Hi,

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Please don’t call espconn_disconnect (or espconn_secure_disconnect) to break the TCP connection in any espconn callback.
If it is needed, please use system_os_task and system_os_post to trigger the disconnection ( espconn_disconnect or espconn_secure_disconnect).

Hi,

thanks for the fast replay!

But if i use an os task to close the connection there is a race condition:

recv callback:
system_os_post (..., close_connection, conn)
disconnected cb:
free connection

close_connection_os_task:
conn -> now points to a freed memory crash again



Is there a warranty that the os task will run before any other callbacks? Same goes for the case when using some context structure instead of directly using espconn.

Hi,

Please refer to SSL demo here http://bbs.espressif.com/viewtopic.php?f=21&t=389

Add code below to disconnect

Code: Select all

os_event_t *testQueue;
#define TEST_QUEUE_LEN 4

void test_task(os_event_t *e){
    os_printf("test_task !!! \r\n");
    espconn_secure_disconnect(&user_tcp_conn);
}

LOCAL void ICACHE_FLASH_ATTR
user_tcp_recv_cb(void *arg, char *pusrdata, unsigned short length)
{
   //received some data from tcp connection
   
    os_printf("tcp recv !!! %s \r\n", pusrdata);
   
   testQueue = (os_event_t*) os_malloc(sizeof(os_event_t) * TEST_QUEUE_LEN);
   system_os_task(test_task, 0, testQueue, TEST_QUEUE_LEN);
   system_os_post(0, 0, 0);

}


More details about "system_os_task" and "system_os_post" please refer to documentation "2C-ESP8266__SDK__Programming Guide"

Thanks for your interest in Espressif Systems and ESP8266 !

Hi,

The problem is a bit different.
You have a client and a server, T is time T+X relative time.

Client: Server:
T+0
user_tcp_recv_cb(...)
{
does os post task
}

T+1: closes the connection
T+2:
app receives disconnected callback and frees the connection.

T+3:
Now the SDK runs the posted task from the tcp_recv_cb
and tries to disconnect the connection again. -> BOOM



I've got it working but i'm not sure it is not 'just working'.

Thanks one more time!
