Event callback still called after deiniting it

Postby trwel4 » Sun Feb 12, 2023 7:35 pm

I am trying to develop a mesh application where at the root node, it checks for the existence of the router. If it wasn't there after N seconds, it will make a local mesh network instead.

This is the code I wrote to restart the esp-mesh

Code: Select all

mdf_event_loop_deinit();
mwifi_stop();
mwifi_deinit();
esp_wifi_stop();
esp_wifi_deinit();
MDF_ERROR_ASSERT(mdf_event_loop_init(event_loop_cb));
MDF_ERROR_ASSERT(wifi_init());
MDF_ERROR_ASSERT(mwifi_init(&cfg));
MDF_ERROR_ASSERT(mwifi_set_config(&config));
MDF_ERROR_ASSERT(mwifi_start());
A short time between mwifi_deinit() and esp_wifi_stop() the event callback is erroneously called again which causes a panic in my application, even though I have deinitialized it in the first line! Why is that? Here are the logs I see on the terminal before the panic

I believe that those two calls are not immediate, meaning they will cause EVENTS to be posted at their own pace as it seems to be your case.

The correct order will be to wait for specific events, say via EventGroupSetBits or whatever. I had similar unexpected behaviour and crashes until I went this route.

Good luck
