* fix(http): keep reaping open TLS connections under low heap so the heap can recover Once free heap dropped below MIN_HEAP_FOR_SSL (40 KB) with HTTPS connections open, the node's heap never came back and every later HTTPS or TCP-API connection failed until a reset - node alive, on WiFi, unusable. handleWebResponse() skipped secureServer->loop() entirely under low heap so no new TLS handshake would be attempted on a heap that can't hold its context. But HTTPServer::loop() is the only place already-accepted connections are serviced and reaped: its first pass calls ->loop() on each open one (where the 20 s idle timeout and the SSL close-notify state machine run) and deletes the closed ones. Skipping the whole loop froze the up-to-MAX_HTTPS_CONNECTIONS TLS sessions already open. Never looped, they never timed out, their mbedTLS contexts and pbufs were never freed, so free heap never climbed back over 40 KB, so the loop was skipped forever. The guard's own precondition was what kept it from clearing. Split the two halves. Under low heap keep driving and reaping the connections we already hold, and only skip the accept. HTTPServer keeps its connection table protected, so a thin MeshHTTPSServer subclass exposes serviceExistingConnections(), the first half of HTTPServer::loop() verbatim. Log line reworded to say what now happens: not accepting, not skipping. Verified on a Heltec V3 (Endor AP) against a control build with #11537 (so the node survives the squeeze instead of aborting first): - Recipe: held sockets on 80/4403 + pending TLS, 100 s of HTTPS pokes, repeat. Control: Low heap pins at 6-17 KB, HTTPS dead, and 3 min after all pressure is released heap is still ~12 KB with Low heap firing every 30 s - permanent until reset. Fix: never dips under 40 KB, both pressure rounds 3/3, 65 KB after. - Branch driven deliberately (verify-only heap hog pinning free heap at ~28 KB with a real idle TLS session held open): under the guard the fix logs open=1 -> reaped=1 at the 20 s idle timeout, and heap goes 26 -> 65 KB before the hog is even released. On the control logic that session stays frozen for the whole window. Fixes #11538. * fix(http): trim the low-heap comments to the two-line guideline The mechanism is in the commit message and PR; the source keeps the one-line why. No code change. (CodeRabbit)
Meshtastic Firmware
Overview
This repository contains the official device firmware for Meshtastic, an open-source LoRa mesh networking project designed for long-range, low-power communication without relying on internet or cellular infrastructure. The firmware supports various hardware platforms, including ESP32, nRF52, RP2040/RP2350, and Linux-based devices.
Meshtastic enables text messaging, location sharing, and telemetry over a decentralized mesh network, making it ideal for outdoor adventures, emergency preparedness, and remote operations.
