[lwip-users] dhcp_create_msg failure

[Behrooz Shafiee]

Hello Everyone,

 I am trying to port lwip to our research operating system. Everything has gone well so far except when I am trying to assign ip to my interface using dhcp. This does not happen always but pretty often: lwip fails at following assertion in dhcp.c: 1662 (I am using lwip 1.4.1):
  LWIP_ASSERT("dhcp_create_msg: dhcp->p_out == NULL", dhcp->p_out == NULL);

using some outputs I realized this happens because dhcp_create_msg being called consecutively without a dhcp_delete_msg in between. For example I had the following pattern:

dhcp_create_msg
dhcp_delete_msg
dhcp_create_msg
***dhcp_create_msg***

where * is when the assertion fails. I don't know the lwip mechanics but I am guessing sometimes the dhcp_delete_message takes longer than usual I guess...

I have attached a log file as well. Please let me know what do you think about this or if you need more information.

Thanks,
