include/nuttx/net/ipv6ext.h: Fix some terminology: Hop-by-hop, not Hop-to-hop or Hop2hop.
net/devif/ipv6_input.c and net/icmpv6/icmpv6_input.c: Add logic to skiip over the variable number of IPv6 extension headers that may be present between the IPv6 header and the transport layer header. The extension headers are simply ignored. This is necessary because with MLD, certain incoming messages may have, at a mimimum, a Router Alert Hop-by-hop extension header.
net/inet/ipv6_setsockopt.c: Implement the IPV6_JOIN_GROUP and IPV6_LEAVE_GROUP socket options.
net/mld: The MLD logic now compiles and is much less toxic. It still is not a proper MLD implementation: (1) It is basically a port of IGMP, tweaked to work with IPv6 and ICMPv6 MLD messages, (2) it needs a proper analysis and comparison with RFC 3810, and (3) it is completely untested. For this reason, it will remain EXPERIMENTAL for some time.
net/mld: Add some missing macros, more fixes related to IPv6 vs IPv4 types,
net/mld: More compilation cleaning. Most fixups for IPv6 vs IPv4 types.
net/mld: Hook crudely converted .c files into build system and resolve a few of the many, many compilation/design problems.
net/mld: Add support for MLD statistics.
net/mld: Hook in MLD poll and packet transmission logic.
net/mld: Change references to IPv4 definitions to IPv6 definitions; Remove mld_input() since MLD piggybacks on ICMPv6 input. Add functions to catch MLD messages dispatched by ICMPv6 input logic.
net/mld: As a starting point, copy all net/igmp/*.c files to net/mld/. and change all occurrences of igmp (or IGMP) to mld (or MLD).

This commit adds logic to first check for UDP connection mode. If the UDP socket is connected, then the NULL 'to' address is ignored and saved connection address is used instead.
In connection-mode UDP sockets, a remote address is retained in the UDP connection structure. This determines both there send() will send the packets and which packets recv() will accept.
This same mechanism is used for connection-less UDP sendto: A temporary remote address is written into the connection structure to support the sendto() operation. That address persists until the next recvfrom() when it is reset to accept any address.
When UDP read-ahead buffering is enabled, however, that means that the old, invalid remote address can be left in the connection structure for some time. This can cause read-ahead buffer to fail, dropping UDP packets.
Shortening the time between when he remote address is reset (i.e., immediately after the sendto() completes) is not a solution, that does not eliminate the race condition; in only makes it smaller.
With this change, a flag was added to the connection structure to indicate if the UDP socket is in connection mode or if it is connection-less. This change effects only UDP receive operations: The remote address in the UDP connection is always ignored if the UDP socket is not in connection-mode.
No for connection-mode sockets, that remote address behaves as before. But for connection-less sockets, it is only used by sendto().
Squashed commit of the following:
net/udp: Address most of the issues with UDP write buffering. There is a remaining issue with handling one network going down in a multi-network environment. None of this has been test but it is certainly ready for test. Hence, the feature is marked EXPERIMENTAL.
net/udp: Some baby steps toward a corrected write buffering design.
net/udp: Remove pesky write buffer macros.
Eliminate trailing space at the end of lines.
net/udp: A little more UDP write buffering logic. Still at least on big gaping hole in the design.
net/udp: Undefined CONFIG_NET_SENDTO_TIMEOUT.
net/udp: Crude, naive port of the TCP write buffering logic into UDP. This commit is certainly non-functional and is simply a starting point for the implementatin of UDP write buffering.
net/udp: Rename udp/udp_psock_sendto.c udp/udp_psock_sendto_unbuffered.c.
Squashed commit of the following:
net/icmpv6: IPPROT_ICMP6 socket logic now builds without error.
net/icmpv6: Add support for read-ahead and poll(). Initial commit is just cloned from ICMP with the appropriate name changes.
configs/: All defconfig filess that include CONFIG_NET_ICMPv6_SOCKET=y need to select CONFIG_SYSTEM_PING6=y and deselect CONFIG_DISABLE_POLL.
Update NSH documention to show that ping6 is now a built in command.
net/icmpv6: Add icmpv6_sendto.c and icmpv6_recvfrom.c. Initial versions are just clones from icmp/ with appropriate name changes.
net/icmpv6: Clone some ICMP socket logic as the beginning of support for ICMPv6 socket support.
Rename CONFIG_NET_ICMPv6_PING to CONFIG_NET_ICMPv6_SOCKET. Move prototype for icmpv6_ping from include/nuttx/net/icmpv6 to net/icmpv6/icmpv6.h
Squashed commit of the following:
net/icmp: Finishes off icmp_recvfrom().
net/icmp: Add readahead support for IPPROTO_ICMP sockets.
net/icmp: Add poll() support for IPPROTO_ICMP sockets.
net/icmp: Add a connection structure for IPPROTO_ICMP sockets.
net/icmp: Implements sendto for the IPPROTO_ICMP socket.
net/icmp: Move icmp_sendto() and icmp_recvfrom() to separate files. They are likely to be complex (when they are implemented).
net/icmp: Hook IPPROTO_ICMP sockets into network. Fix some naming collisions. Still missing basic ICMP send/receive logic.
configs: apps/system/ping current need poll() enabled.
configs: All defconfig files that use to enable low-level support must now enabled CONFIG_SYSTEM_PING.
net/icmp: Adds basic build framework to support IPPROTO_ICMP sockets.
sched/semaphore: Add nxsem_post() which is identical to sem_post() except that it never modifies the errno variable. Changed all references to sem_post in the OS to nxsem_post().
sched/semaphore: Add nxsem_destroy() which is identical to sem_destroy() except that it never modifies the errno variable. Changed all references to sem_destroy() in the OS to nxsem_destroy().
libc/semaphore and sched/semaphore: Add nxsem_getprotocol() and nxsem_setprotocola which are identical to sem_getprotocol() and set_setprotocol() except that they never modifies the errno variable. Changed all references to sem_setprotocol in the OS to nxsem_setprotocol(). sem_getprotocol() was not used in the OS
libc/semaphore: Add nxsem_getvalue() which is identical to sem_getvalue() except that it never modifies the errno variable. Changed all references to sem_getvalue in the OS to nxsem_getvalue().
sched/semaphore: Rename all internal private functions from sem_xyz to nxsem_xyz. The sem_ prefix is (will be) reserved only for the application semaphore interfaces.
libc/semaphore: Add nxsem_init() which is identical to sem_init() except that it never modifies the errno variable. Changed all references to sem_init in the OS to nxsem_init().
sched/semaphore: Rename sem_tickwait() to nxsem_tickwait() so that it is clear this is an internal OS function.
