+/**
+ * @page pitfalls Common pitfalls
+ *
+ * Multiple Execution Contexts in lwIP code
+ * ========================================
+ *
+ * The most common source of lwIP problems is to have multiple execution contexts
+ * inside the lwIP code.
+ *
+ * lwIP can be used in two basic modes: @ref lwip_nosys (no OS/RTOS
+ * running on target system) or @ref lwip_os (there is an OS running
+ * on the target system).
+ *
+ * Mainloop Mode
+ * -------------
+ * In mainloop mode, only @ref callbackstyle_api can be used.
+ * The user has two possibilities to ensure there is only one
+ * exection context at a time in lwIP:
+ *
+ * 1) Deliver RX ethernet packets directly in interrupt context to lwIP
+ * by calling netif->input directly in interrupt. This implies all lwIP
+ * callback functions are called in IRQ context, which may cause further
+ * problems in application code: IRQ is blocked for a long time, multiple
+ * execution contexts in application code etc. When the application wants
+ * to call lwIP, it only needs to disable interrupts during the call.
+ * If timers are involved, even more locking code is needed to lock out
+ * timer IRQ and ethernet IRQ from each other, assuming these may be nested.
+ *
+ * 2) Run lwIP in a mainloop. There is example code here: @ref lwip_nosys.
+ * lwIP is _ONLY_ called from mainloop callstacks here. The ethernet IRQ
+ * has to put received telegrams into a queue which is polled in the
+ * mainloop. Ensure lwIP is _NEVER_ called from an interrupt, e.g.
+ * some SPI IRQ wants to forward data to udp_send() or tcp_write()!
+ *
+ * OS Mode
+ * -------
+ * In OS mode, @ref callbackstyle_api AND @ref sequential_api can be used.
+ * @ref sequential_api are designed to be called from threads other than
+ * the TCPIP thread, so there is nothing to consider here.
+ * But @ref callbackstyle_api functions must _ONLY_ be called from
+ * TCPIP thread. It is a common error to call these from other threads
+ * or from IRQ contexts. ​Ethernet RX needs to deliver incoming packets
+ * in the correct way by sending a message to TCPIP thread, this is
+ * implemented in tcpip_input().​​
+ * Again, ensure lwIP is _NEVER_ called from an interrupt, e.g.
+ * some SPI IRQ wants to forward data to udp_send() or tcp_write()!
+ *
+ * 1) tcpip_callback() can be used get called back from TCPIP thread,
+ * it is safe to call any @ref callbackstyle_api from there.
+ *
+ * 2) Use @ref LWIP_TCPIP_CORE_LOCKING. All @ref callbackstyle_api
+ * functions can be called when lwIP core lock is aquired, see
+ * @ref LOCK_TCPIP_CORE() and @ref UNLOCK_TCPIP_CORE().
+ * These macros cannot be used in an interrupt context!
+ * Note the OS must correctly handle priority inversion for this.
