The PXE spec does not specify a byte ordering for UUIDs, but RFC4578
suggests that it follows the EFI spec, in which the first three fields
are little-endian.

The PXE TFTP API allows the caller to request a particular TFTP block
size. Since mid-2008, iPXE has appended a "?blksize=xxx" parameter to
the TFTP URI constructed internally; nothing has ever parsed this
parameter. Nobody seems to have cared that this parameter has been
ignored for almost five years.
Fix by using xfer_window(), which provides a fairly natural way to
convey the block size information from the PXE TFTP API to the TFTP
protocol layer.

Some NICs (e.g. Hermon) provide hardware support for stripping the
VLAN tag, but do not provide any way for this support to be disabled.
Drivers for this hardware must therefore call vlan_find() to identify
a suitable receiving network device.
Provide a weak version of vlan_find() which will always return NULL if
VLAN support has not been enabled (either directly, or by enabling
a feature such as FCoE which requires VLAN support). This allows the
VLAN code to be omitted from builds where the user has not requested
support for VLANs.

The iBFT has a VLAN field that should be filled in. Add the

Since VLAN support is optional, define a weak function that returns 0

Including a netdev_poll() within net_tx() can cause the net_step()
loop to end up processing hundreds or thousands of packets within a
single step, since each received packet being processed may trigger a
response which, in turn causes a poll for further received packets.
Network devices must now ensure that the TX ring is at least as large
as the RX ring, in order to avoid running out of TX descriptors. This
should not cause any problems; unlike the RX ring, there is no
substantial memory cost incurred by increasing the TX ring size.

TLS servers are not obliged to implement the RFC3546 maximum fragment
length extension, and many common servers (including OpenSSL, as used
in Apache's mod_ssl) do not do so. iPXE may therefore have to cope
with TLS records of up to 16kB. Allocations for 16kB have a
non-negligible chance of failing, causing the TLS connection to abort.
Fix by maintaining the received record as a linked list of I/O
buffers, rather than a single contiguous buffer. To reduce memory
pressure, we also decrypt in situ, and deliver the decrypted data via
xfer_deliver_iob() rather than xfer_deliver_raw().

Almost all clients of the raw-packet interfaces (UNDI and SNP) can
handle only Ethernet link layers. Expose an Ethernet-compatible link
layer to local clients, while remaining compatible with IPoIB on the
wire. This requires manipulation of ARP (but not DHCP) packets within
the IPoIB driver.
This is ugly, but it's the only viable way to allow IPoIB devices to
be driven via the raw-packet interfaces.

Commit 501527d ("[http] Treat any unexpected connection close as an
error") introduced a regression causing HTTP SAN booting to fail. At
the end of the response to the HEAD request, the call to http_done()
would erroneously believe that the server had disconnected in the
middle of the HTTP headers.
Fix by treating the header block from a HEAD request as a trailer
block. This fixes the problem and also simplifies the logic in
http_rx_header().

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.

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.
