The Xen network backend (xen-netback) suffered from a regression
between upstream Linux kernels 3.18 and 4.2 inclusive, which would
cause packet reception to fail unless at least 18 receive buffers were
available. This bug was fixed in kernel commit 1d5d485 ("xen-netback:
require fewer guest Rx slots when not using GSO").
Work around this bug in affected versions of xen-netback by providing
the requisite 18 receive buffers.

An "enlightened" external bootloader (such as Windows Server 2016's
winload.exe) may take ownership of the Hyper-V connection before all
INT 13 operations have been completed. When this happens, all VMBus
devices are implicitly closed and we are left with a non-functional
network connection.
Detect when our Hyper-V connection has been lost (by checking the
SynIC message page MSR). Reclaim ownership of the Hyper-V connection
and reestablish any VMBus devices, without disrupting any existing
iPXE state (such as IPv4 settings attached to the network device).
Windows Server 2016 will not cleanly take ownership of an active
Hyper-V connection. Experimentation shows that we can quiesce by
resetting only the SynIC message page MSR; this results in a
successful SAN boot (on a Windows 2012 R2 physical host). Choose to
quiesce by resetting (almost) all MSRs, in the hope that this will be
more robust against corner cases such as a stray synthetic interrupt
occurring during the handover.

On most Intel NICs, Auto-Speed Detection Enable (ASDE) can be used to
automatically detect the correct link speed by sampling the link using
the internal PHY. This feature is automatically inhibited when not
appropriate for the physical link (e.g. when using internal SerDes
mode on the 8254x).
On the i350 datasheet ASDE is a reserved bit, but the relevant
auto-speed detection hardware appears still to be present. However,
enabling ASDE on the i350 1000BASE-KX backplane NIC seems to cause an
immediate link failure. It is possible that the auto-speed detection
hardware is still present, is not connected to a physical link, and is
not inhibited from being applied in this mode.
Work around this problem by adding an INTEL_NO_ASDE flag bit
(analogous to INTEL_NO_PHY_RST), and applying this for the i350
backplane NIC.

The value of ( ( x & 0x0c00 ) | 0x0c00 ) is always 0x0c00 regardless
of the value of x, and so the read_csr() is redundant. (There are no

This line of code originated in Linux kernel 2.3.19pre1 as
a->write_csr(ioaddr, 80, a->read_csr(ioaddr, 80) | 0x0c00);

In the absence of commit messages, the intention of the code is

Signed-off-by: Michael Brown <mcb30@ipxe.org>
The physical function may be configured to transparently insert a VLAN
tag into all transmitted packets. Unfortunately, it does not
equivalently strip this same VLAN tag from all received packets. This
behaviour may be observed in some Amazon EC2 instances with Enhanced
Networking enabled: transmissions work as expected but all packets
received by iPXE appear to have a spurious VLAN tag.
We can configure the receive queue to strip VLAN tags via the
RXDCTL.VME bit. We need to find out from the PF driver whether or not
we should do so.
There exists a "get queue configuration" mailbox message which
contains a field labelled IXGBE_VF_TRANS_VLAN in the Linux driver.
A comment in the Linux PF driver describes this field as "notify VF of
need for VLAN tag stripping, and correct queue". It will be filled
with a non-zero value if the PF is enforcing the use of a single VLAN
tag. It will also be filled with a non-zero value if the PF is using
multiple traffic classes.
The Linux VF driver seems to treat this field as being simply the
number of traffic classes, and gives it no VLAN-related
interpretation. The Linux VF driver instead handles the VLAN tag
stripping by simply assuming that any unrecognised VLAN tag ought to
be silently dropped.
We choose to strip and ignore the VLAN tag if the IXGBE_VF_TRANS_VLAN
field has a non-zero value.

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

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.

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.
Further investigation is required to determine how other OSes
(e.g. Linux) cope with this scenario. It is possible that
implementing TCP SACK would provide some benefit.

Most devices expose at least the link up/down status via a bit in a
MAC register, since the MAC generally already needs to know whether or
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.

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.

Some USB endpoints require that a short packet be used to terminate
transfers, since they have no other way to determine message
boundaries. If the message length happens to be an exact multiple of
the USB packet size, then this requires the use of an additional
zero-length packet.

Some protocols (such as ARP) may modify the received packet and re-use
the same I/O buffer for transmission of a reply. To allow this,
reserve sufficient headroom at the start of each received packet
buffer for our transmit datapath headers.

Some devices have a very small number of internal buffers, and rely on
being able to pack multiple packets into each buffer. Using 2048-byte
buffers on such devices produces throughput of around 100Mbps. Using
a small number of much larger buffers (e.g. 32kB) increases the
throughput to around 780Mbps. (The full 1Gbps is not reached because
the high RTT induced by the use of multi-packet buffers causes us to
saturate our 256kB TCP window.)
Since allocation of large buffers is very likely to fail, allocate the
buffer set only once when the device is opened and recycle buffers
immediately after use. Received data is now always copied to
per-packet buffers.
If allocation of large buffers fails, fall back to allocating a larger
number of smaller buffers. This will give reduced performance, but
the device will at least still be functional.
Share code between the interrupt and bulk IN endpoint handlers, since
the buffer handling is now very similar.

The (undocumented) VMBus protocol seems to allow for transfer
page-based packets where the data payload is split into an arbitrary
set of ranges within the transfer page set.
The RNDIS protocol includes a length field within the header of each
message, and it is known from observation that multiple RNDIS messages
can be concatenated into a single VMBus message.
iPXE currently assumes that the transfer page range boundaries are
entirely arbitrary, and uses the RNDIS header length to determine the
RNDIS message boundaries.
Windows Server 2012 R2 generates an RNDIS_INDICATE_STATUS_MSG for an
undocumented and unknown status code (0x40020006) with a malformed
RNDIS header length: the length does not cover the StatusBuffer
portion of the message. This causes iPXE to report a malformed RNDIS
message and to discard any further RNDIS messages within the same
VMBus message.
The Linux Hyper-V driver assumes that the transfer page range
boundaries correspond to RNDIS message boundaries, and so does not
notice the malformed length field in the RNDIS header.
Match the behaviour of the Linux Hyper-V driver: assume that the
transfer page range boundaries correspond to the RNDIS message
boundaries and ignore the RNDIS header length. This avoids triggering
the "malformed packet" error and also avoids unnecessary data copying:
since we now have one I/O buffer per RNDIS message, there is no longer
any need to use iob_split().

Empirical observation suggests that 32 is a sensible size to minimise

On Windows Server 2012 R2, the receive buffer teardown completion
message seems to occasionally be deferred until after the VMBus
channel has been closed. This happens even if there are no packets
currently in the receive buffer.
Work around this problem by separating the revocation and teardown of
the receive buffer, and deferring the teardown until after the VMBus
channel has been closed.
