structure, and populating it with options. This should allow us to
use the same basic options list for both DHCPDISCOVER and DHCPREQUEST,
plus making it much easier to set the non-constant parameters
(e.g. requested IP address) in request packets.
to search through all registered option blocks.
Move some static inlines that are likely to be used frequently into
dhcpopts.c as normal functions, to save space.
is a DHCP option" data structures.
We need this code in order to be able to return a DHCP packet to a PXE NBP
which reflects options from our multiple sources (e.g. NVS and DHCP
server). This is expensive, but necessary. Having paid this cost, we may
as well try to use the same code to generate our DHCP request packets,
since the process is similar.
- changes made to some constants and macros
- changes made to _curses_screen struct
- identified and removed prototypes for yet more unsupportable functions
Kill off the static single net device and move to proper dynamic
registration (which we need with the new device model).
Break the (flawed) assumption that all network-layer protocols can use
ARP; such network-layer protocols (i.e. IPv4) must now register as an ARP
protocol using ARP_NET_PROTOCOL() and provide a single method for checking
the existence of a local network-layer address.
async_wait(), though we may wish to move this higher up the stack, and
consider making the block device model asynchronous. (There is only a
marginal cost for synchronous devices, since they can simply call
async_done() before returning; async_wait() will work seamlessly in this
situation).
Removed data_in_len and data_out_len from ata_command structure; the
lengths are implied by the sector count and the presence of the data_in
or data_out pointers.
Changed AoE code to use subcommands by default, and made aoe_issue()
nonblocking (with completion via async_wait()).
these timer objects in AoE and UDP protocols (where there is no underlying
retransmission mechanism) without requiring each protocol to implement its
own individual retry logic. Eventually, we should be able to use the same
timer code for TCP retransmissions as well.
Cannot yet handle reads of more than two sectors
No retransmission
No way to find out a target's MAC address (this proof of concept uses
broadcasts)
These limitations shall not last long! :)
- implemented hline/vline (part of wborder family)
- screen cursor now relocates at same time as window cursor when
restoring after a non-wrapping function
- added extern declarations for global vars
- removed comments from static inlines (too time consuming to do them
all, considering all so far have been due to the ridiculous amount of
redundancy within the API spec)
- removed a few more extern func decls for funcs that cannot be
implemented at this time
the kernel), which encapsulates the information needed to refer to an
external buffer. Under normal operation, this can just be a void *
equivalent, but under -DKEEP_IT_REAL it would be a segoff_t equivalent.
Use this concept to avoid the need for bounce buffers in int13.c,
which reduces memory usage and opens up the possibility of using
multi-sector reads.
Extend the block-device API and the SCSI block device implementation
to support multi-sector reads.
Update iscsi.c to use user buffers.
Move the obsolete portions of realmode.h to old_realmode.h.
MS-DOS now boots an order of magnitude faster over iSCSI (~10 seconds
from power-up to C:> prompt in bochs).
errors; still need to verify data integrity).
SCSI response PDUs are handled: status and sense data (if available) are
returned via the scsi_command structure.
Updated iSCSI session parameter usage.
typical build will now include 880 bytes of PCI support code, compared to
2327 bytes in Etherboot 5.4.
(There is a slight cost of around 5 extra bytes per access to a
non-constant config space address; this should be an overall win.
Driver-specific accesses will usually be to constant addresses, for
which there is no additional cost.)
Generic PCI code now handles 64-bit BARs correctly when setting
"membase"; drivers should need to call pci_bar_start() only if they want
to use BARs other than the first memory or I/O BAR.
Split rarely-used PCI functions out into pciextra.c.
Core PCI code is now 662 bytes (down from 1308 bytes in Etherboot 5.4).
284 bytes of this saving comes from the pci/pciextra split.
Cosmetic changes to lots of drivers (e.g. vendor_id->vendor in order to
match the names used in Linux).
for use by malloc().
This breaks the image-loading code (which previously used the heap to
allocate the buffer for downloading the image), but that's not a major
concern since I'm going to tear out all the image formats within the next
couple of days anyway. Byebye, NBI! :)
Shaved around 100 bytes off vsprintf.o. It's now 50 bytes smaller than
the old implementation and provides much more conformant semantics,
including the ability to return the number of characters that would have
been printed to the string had the buffer been big enough. (iSCSI needs
this functionality).
