I'll reply on this patch, although it is a general comment.

I would like to see if we can use the cyclic feature to allow network
operations to happen in the background. This would involve splitting
each operation into:

- setup start and kick off, e.g. ping_sttart()
- checking what needs doing, e.g. ping_poll()
- finish and clean-up, e.g. ping_finish()

So something like:

ping -B 1.2.3.4

(-B is background)

That would fire off the packet but immediately return with a prompt.
When the pings are received they would show on the console, with a new
prompt displayed. The same for tftp -B...it would start the transfer
but allow other commands to be sent while it is in progress.

Part of the reason for this is that when booting there are a lot of
operations which take a long time and nothing happens until everything
is done. For example, with standard boot, mmc devices can be shown
right away, but USB and network ones take a lot longer, so having OS's
on those devices appear later on the slower devices is desirable for
the user.

Is this something that lwip can support? It is one reason why I have
advocating putting the state in a struct instead of having a lot of
separate vars.

Regards,
Simon
