Added a large number of missing calls to free_pkb(). In the case of UDP,
no received packets were ever freed, which lead to memory exhaustion
remarkably quickly once pxelinux started up.
In general, any function with _rx() in its name which accepts a pk_buff
*must* either call free_pkb() or pass the pkb to another _rx() function
(e.g. the next layer up the stack). Since the UDP (and TCP) layers don't
pass packet buffers up to the higher-layer protocols (the
"applications"), they must free the packet buffer after calling the
application's newdata() method.
static since otherwise gcc4 optimises them away completely. Also, it
really *is* an error if the table start and end are unused, so they
certainly shouldn't be marked with attribute unused.
udp_connect() now follows the standard BSD sockets semantics and simply
sets the default address for outgoing packets; it doesn't filter incoming
packets.
Updated PXE API dispatcher to use copy_{to,from}_user, and moved to
arch/i386 since the implementation is quite architecture-dependent.
(The individual PXE API calls can be largely
architecture-independent.)
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.
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

These limitations shall not last long! :)
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).
