The Infiniband specification (volume 1, section 11.4.1.2 "Post Receive
Request") notes that for UD QPs, the GRH will be placed in the first
40 bytes of the receive buffer if present. (If no GRH is present,
which is normal, then the first 40 bytes of the receive buffer will be
unused.)
Mellanox hardware performs this placement automatically: other headers
will be stripped (and their values returned via the CQE), but the
first 40 bytes of the data buffer will be consumed by the (probably
non-existent) GRH.
This does not fit neatly into iPXE's internal abstraction, which
expects the data buffer to represent just the data payload with the
addresses from the GRH (if present) passed as additional parameters to
ib_complete_recv().
The end result of this discrepancy is that attempts to receive
full-sized 2048-byte IPoIB packets on Mellanox hardware will fail.

EoIB is a fairly simple protocol in which raw Ethernet frames
(excluding the CRC) are encapsulated within Infiniband Unreliable
Datagrams, with a four-byte fixed EoIB header (which conveys no actual
information). The Ethernet broadcast domain is provided by a
multicast group, similar to the IPoIB IPv4 multicast group.
The mapping from Ethernet MAC addresses to Infiniband address vectors
is achieved by snooping incoming traffic and building a peer cache
which can then be used to map a MAC address into a port GID. The
address vector is completed using a path record lookup, as for IPoIB.
Note that this requires every packet to include a GRH.
Add basic support for EoIB devices. This driver is substantially
derived from the IPoIB driver. There is currently no mechanism for
automatically creating EoIB devices.

Some protocols (such as ARP) may modify the received packet and re-use
the same I/O buffer for transmission of a reply. The SMSC95XX
transmit header is larger than the receive header: the re-used I/O
buffer therefore does not have sufficient headroom for the transmit
header, and the ARP reply will therefore fail to be transmitted. This
is essentially the same problem as in commit 2e72d10 ("[ncm] Reserve
headroom in received packets").
Fix by reserving sufficient space at the start of each received packet
to allow for the difference between the lengths of the transmit and
receive headers.
This problem is not caught by the current driver development test
suite (documented at http://ipxe.org/dev/driver), since even the large
file transfer tests tend to completely sufficiently quickly that there
is no need for the server to ever send an ARP request. The failure
shows up only when using a very slow protocol such as RFC7440-enhanced

Tested using QEMU and usbredir to expose the LAN9512 chip present on a
Raspberry Pi.
There is a known issue with the LAN9512: an extra two bytes are
appended to every transmitted packet. These two bytes comprise:
{ 0x00, 0x08 } if packet length == 0 (mod 8)
{ CRC[0], 0x00 } if packet length == 7 (mod 8)
{ CRC[0], CRC[1] } otherwise
The extra bytes are appended whether the Ethernet CRC is generated
manually or added automatically by the hardware. The issue occurs
with the Linux kernel driver as well as the iPXE driver. It appears
to be an undocumented hardware errata.
TCP/IP traffic is not affected, since the IP header length field
causes the extraneous bytes to be discarded by the receiver. However,
protocols that rely on the length of the Ethernet frame (such as FCoE
or iPXE's "lotest" protocol) will be unusable on this hardware.

The only way to map an eIPoIB MAC address (REMAC) to an IPoIB MAC
address is to intercept an incoming ARP request or reply.
If we do not have an REMAC cache entry for a particular destination
MAC address, then we cannot transmit the packet. This can arise in at
least two situations:
- An external program (e.g. a PXE NBP using the UNDI API) may attempt
to transmit to a destination MAC address that has been obtained by
some method other than ARP.
- Memory pressure may have caused REMAC cache entries to be
discarded. This is fairly likely on a busy network, since REMAC
cache entries are created for all received (broadcast) ARP
requests. (We can't sensibly avoid creating these cache entries,
since they are required in order to send an ARP reply, and when we
are being used via the UNDI API we may have no knowledge of which
IP addresses are "ours".)
Attempt to ameliorate the situation by generating a semi-spurious ARP
request whenever we find a missing REMAC cache entry. This will
hopefully trigger an ARP reply, which would then provide us with the
information required to populate the REMAC cache.

The recorded disconnections (in port->disconnected) will currently be

behaviour: the disconnection has been handled and the record should be
cleared until the next physical disconnection is detected (via the CSC

The problem is masked for EHCI, UHCI, and USB hubs, since these will
report a changed port (via usb_port_changed()) only when the
underlying hardware reports a change. xHCI will call
usb_port_changed() in response to any port status event, at which

The action of registering a new hub can itself happen in only two

usb_hotplug(), since the hub's ports will all be marked as changed and
so will be handled after the return from register_usb_hub() anyway.

- root hub port 1 detects a change
- root hub port 2 detects a change
- usb_hotplug() is called

Note that the time at which a disconnection can be detected varies by
hub type. In particular: root hubs can observe the CSC bit when

xHCI (and EHCI) nominally provide a mechanism for releasing ownership
of the host controller back to the BIOS, which can then potentially
restore legacy USB keyboard functionality.
This is a rarely used code path, since most operating systems claim
ownership and never attempt to later return to the BIOS. On some
systems (observed with a Lenovo X1 Carbon), this code path leads to
obscure and interesting bugs: if the xHCI and EHCI controllers are
both claimed and later released back to the BIOS, then a subsequent
call to INT 16,0305 to set the keyboard repeat rate to a non-default
value will lock the system.
Obscure though this sequence of operations may sound, it is exactly
what happens when using iPXE to boot a Linux kernel via a USB network
card. There is old and probably unwanted code in Linux's
arch/x86/boot/main.c which sets the keyboard repeat rate (with the
accompanying comment "Set keyboard repeat rate (why?)"). When booting
Linux via a USB network card on a Lenovo X1 Carbon, the system
therefore locks up immediately after jumping to the kernel's entry
point.
Work around this problem by preventing the release of ownership back
to the BIOS if it is known that we are shutting down to boot an OS.
This should allow legacy USB keyboard functionality to be restored if
the user chooses to exit iPXE, while avoiding the rarely used code
paths (and corresponding BIOS bugs) if the user chooses instead to

receive window therefore rapidly overflows the RX FIFO, leading to
multiple dropped packets (usually within the same TCP window) and
hence a low overall throughput.
Reducing the TCP window size so that the RX FIFO does not overflow
greatly increases throughput, but is not a general-purpose solution.

not the link is up. Some devices (e.g. the SMSC75xx USB NIC) expose
this information to software only via the MII registers.
Provide a generic mii_check_link() implementation to check the BMSR
and report the link status via netdev_link_{up,down}().

iPXE already sends RX notifications to the backend when needed, but
does not set the "feature-rx-notify" flag. As of XenServer 6.5, this
flag is mandatory and omitting it will cause the backend to fail.
Fix by setting the "feature-rx-notify" flag, to inform the backend
that we will send notifications.

Intel PCH controllers default to routing USB2 ports to EHCI rather
than xHCI, and default to disabling SuperSpeed connections.
Manipulate the PCI configuration space registers as necessary to
reroute ports and enable SuperSpeed.

At some point in the past few years, binutils became more aggressive
at removing unused symbols. To function as a symbol requirement, a
relocation record must now be in a section marked with @progbits and
must not be in a section which gets discarded during the link (either
via --gc-sections or via /DISCARD/).
Update REQUIRE_SYMBOL() to generate relocation records meeting these
criteria. To minimise the impact upon the final binary size, we use
existing symbols (specified via the REQUIRING_SYMBOL() macro) as the
relocation targets where possible. We use R_386_NONE or R_X86_64_NONE
relocation types to prevent any actual unwanted relocation taking
place. Where no suitable symbol exists for REQUIRING_SYMBOL() (such
as in config.c), the macro PROVIDE_REQUIRING_SYMBOL() can be used to
generate a one-byte-long symbol to act as the relocation target.
If there are versions of binutils for which this approach fails, then
the fallback will probably involve killing off REQUEST_SYMBOL(),
redefining REQUIRE_SYMBOL() to use the current definition of
REQUEST_SYMBOL(), and postprocessing the linked ELF file with
something along the lines of "nm -u | wc -l" to check that there are
no undefined symbols remaining.
