iPXE currently checks that the server has not closed the connection
mid-stream (i.e. in the middle of a chunked transfer, or before the
specified Content-Length has been received), but does not check that
the server got as far as starting to send data. Consequently, if the
server closes the connection before any data is transferred (e.g. if
the server gives up waiting while iPXE performs the validation steps
for TLS), then iPXE will treat this as a successful transfer of a
zero-length file.
Fix by checking the RX connection state, and forcing an error if the
server has closed the connection at an unexpected point.

Whenever memory pressure causes a queued packet to be discarded (and
so retransmitted), reduce the maximum TCP window to a size that would
have prevented the discard.

Discarding the active ARP cache entry in the middle of a download will
substantially disrupt the TCP stream. Try to minimise any such
disruption by treating ARP cache entries as expensive, and discarding
them only when nothing else is available to discard.

The current logic is to process at most one received packet per call
to net_poll(), on the basis that refilling the hardware descriptor
ring should be delayed as little as possible. However, this limits
the rate at which packets can be processed and ultimately ends up
adding latency which, in turn, limits the achievable throughput.
With temporary modifications in place to essentially remove all
resource constraints (heap size increased to 16MB, RX descriptor ring
increased to 64 descriptors) and a TCP window size of 1MB, the
throughput on a gigabit (i.e. 119MBps) network can be observed to fall
off exponentially from around 115MBps to around 75MBps. Changing
net_poll() to process all received packets results in a steady
119MBps throughput.

Each ARP cache entry maintains a transmission queue, which is sent out
as soon as the link-layer address is known. If multiple packets are
queued, then it is possible for memory pressure to cause the ARP cache
discarder to be invoked during transmission of the first packet, which
may cause the ARP cache entry to be deleted before the second packet
can be sent. This results in an invalid pointer dereference.
Avoid this problem by reference-counting ARP cache entries and
ensuring that an extra reference is held while processing the
transmission queue, and by using list_first_entry() rather than
list_for_each_entry_safe() to traverse the queue.

FCoE requires the use of multiple local unicast link-layer addresses.
To avoid the complexity of managing multiple addresses, iPXE operates
in promiscuous mode. As a consequence, any unicast packets with
non-matching IPv4 addresses are rejected at the IPv4 layer (rather
than at the link layer).
This can cause problems when issuing a second DHCP request: if the
address chosen by the DHCP server does not match the existing address,
then the DHCP response will itself be rejected.
Fix by requesting a broadcast response from the DHCP server if the
network interface already has any IPv4 addresses.

At present, certificate chain validation is treated as an

Some iSCSI targets (observed with stgt) can be configured to reject
connections that do not use header or data digests, and will respond
with "HeaderDigest=Reject" and/or "DataDigest=Reject", while still
allowing the connection to proceed to the full feature phase.
According to a strict reading of RFC3720, we are perfectly safe to
ignore these "Reject" messages: upon such a rejection "the negotiated
key is left at its current value (or default if no value was set)".
Since the default value for both HeaderDigest and DataDigest is
"None", then the only viable conclusion to be drawn is that the value
resulting from "Reject" is still "None".
Unfortunately, stgt doesn't seem to agree with this interpretation of
events, causing us to eventually report an unhelpful "connection timed
out" message to the user when we don't get any response to our first
PDU in full feature phase.
Fix by detecting any rejected parameters and immediately reporting an
error, which at least gives the user some insight as to what the real
problem may be.
