Microsoft WDS can end up calling PXENV_RESTART_TFTP to execute a
second-stage NBP which then exits. Specifically, wdsnbp.com uses
PXENV_RESTART_TFTP to execute pxeboot.com, which will exit if the user
does not press F12. iPXE currently treats PXENV_RESTART_TFTP as a
normal PXE API call, and so attempts to return to wdsnbp.com, which
has just been vaporised by pxeboot.com.
Use rmsetjmp/rmlongjmp to preserve the stack state as of the initial
NBP execution, and to restore this state immediately prior to
executing the NBP loaded via PXENV_RESTART_TFTP. This matches the
behaviour in the PXE spec (which says that "if TFTP is restarted,
control is never returned to the caller"), and allows pxeboot.com to
exit relatively cleanly back to iPXE.
As with all usage of setjmp/longjmp, there may be subtle corner case
bugs due to not gracefully unwinding any state accumulated by the time
of the longjmp call, but this seems to be the only viable way to
provide the specified behaviour.

Add an infrastructure allowing the prefix to provide an open_payload()
method for obtaining out-of-band access to the whole iPXE image. Add
a mechanism within this infrastructure that allows raw access to the
expansion ROM BAR by temporarily borrowing an address from a suitable
memory BAR on the same PCI card.
For cards that have a memory BAR that is at least as large as their
expansion ROM BAR, this allows large iPXE ROMs to be supported even on
systems where PMM fails, or where option ROM space pressure makes it
impossible to use PMM shrinking. The BIOS sees only a stub ROM of
approximately 3kB in size; the remainder (which can be well over 64kB)
is loaded only at the time iPXE is invoked.
As a nice side-effect, an iPXE .mrom image will continue to work even
if its PMM-allocated areas are overwritten between initialisation and
invocation.

It is common for system memory maps to be grotesquely unreliable
during POST. Many sanity checks have been added to the memory map
reading code, but these do not catch all problems.
Skip relocation entirely if called during POST. This should avoid the
problems typically encountered, at the cost of slightly disrupting the
memory map of an operating system booted via iPXE when iPXE was
entered during POST. Since this is a very rare special case (used,
for example, when reflashing an experimental ROM that would otherwise
prevent the system from completing POST), this is an acceptable cost.

Some BIOSes (at least some AMI BIOSes) tend to refuse to allocate a
single area large enough to hold both the iPXE image source and the
temporary decompression area, despite promising a largest available
PMM memory block of several megabytes. This causes ROM image
shrinking to fail on these BIOSes, with undesirable consequences:
other option ROMs may be disabled due to shortage of option ROM space,
and the iPXE ROM may itself be corrupted by a further BIOS bug (again,
observed on an AMI BIOS) which causes large ROMs to end up overlapping
reserved areas of memory. This can potentially render a system
unbootable via any means.
Increase the chances of a successful PMM allocation by dropping the
alignment requirement (which is redundant now that we can enable A20
from within the prefix); this allows us to reduce the allocation size
from 2MB down to only the required size.
Increase the chances still further by using two separate allocations:
one to hold the image source (i.e. the copy of the ROM before being
shrunk) and the other to act as the decompression area. This allows
ROM image shrinking to take place even on systems that fail to
allocate enough memory for the temporary decompression area.
Improve the behaviour of iPXE in systems with multiple iPXE ROMs by
sharing PMM allocations where possible. Image source areas can be
shared with any iPXE ROMs with a matching build identifier, and the
temporary decompression area can be shared with any iPXE ROMs with the
same uncompressed size (rounded up to the nearest 128kB).

When returning to real mode, set 4GB segment limits instead of 64kB
limits. This change improves our chances of successfully returning to
a PMM-capable BIOS aftering entering iPXE during POST; the BIOS will
have set up flat real mode before calling our initialisation point,
and may be disconcerted if we then return in genuine real mode.
This change is unlikely to break anything, since any code that might
potentially access beyond 64kB must use addr32 prefixes to do so; if
this is the case then it is almost certainly code written to expect
flat real mode anyway.
Note that it is not possible to restore the real-mode segment limits
to their original values, since it is not possible to know which
protected-mode segment descriptor was originally used to initialise
the limit portion of the segment register.

"unused" memory region that is chosen, and it is possible that the
process of scanning for the "unused" memory region may end up issuing

Current gPXE code always returns "OURS" in response to
PXENV_UNDI_ISR:START. This is harmless for non-shared interrupt
lines, and avoids the complexity of trying to determine whether or not
we really did cause the interrupt. (This is a non-trivial
determination; some drivers don't have interrupt support and hook the
system timer interrupt instead, for example.)
A problem occurs when we have a shared interrupt line, the other
device asserts an interrupt, and the controlling ISR does not chain to
the other device's ISR when we return "OURS". Under these
circumstances, the other device's ISR never executes, and so the
interrupt remains asserted, causing an interrupt storm.
Work around this by returning "OURS" if and only if our net device's
interrupt is currently recorded as being enabled. Since we always
disable interrupts as a result of a call to PXENV_UNDI_ISR:START, this
guarantees that we will eventually (on the second call) return "NOT
OURS", allowing the other ISR to be called. Under normal operation,
including a non-shared interrupt situation, this change will make no
difference since PXENV_UNDI_ISR:START would be called only when
interrupts were enabled anyway.

It might be the case that we wish to chain to an NBP without
being "in the way". We now implement a hook in our exit path
for gPXE *.*pxe build targets. The hook is a pointer to a
SEG16:OFF16 which we try to jump to during exit. By default,
this pointer results in the usual exit path.
We also implement the "pxenv_file_exit_hook" PXE API routine
to allow the user to specify an alternate SEG16:OFF16 to jump
to during exit.
Unfortunately, this additional PXE extension has a cost
in code size. Fortunately, a look at the size difference
for a gPXE .rom build target shows zero size difference
after compression.
The routine is documented in doc/pxe_extensions as follows:
FILE EXIT HOOK
Op-Code: PXENV_FILE_EXIT_HOOK (00e7h)
Input: Far pointer to a t_PXENV_FILE_EXIT_HOOK parameter
structure that has been initialized by the caller.
Output: PXENV_EXIT_SUCCESS or PXENV_EXIT_FAILURE must be
returned in AX. The Status field in the parameter
structure must be set to one of the values represented
by the PXENV_STATUS_xxx constants.
Description:Modify the exit path to jump to the specified code.
Only valid for pxeprefix-based builds.
typedef struct s_PXENV_FILE_EXIT_HOOK {
PXENV_STATUS_t Status;
SEGOFF16_t Hook;
} t_PXENV_FILE_EXIT_HOOK;

Instead of keeping only the best IP and PXE offers, store all of them,
and pick the best to use just before a request is sent. This allows
priority differentiation to work even when lower-priority offers
provide PXE options, and improves robustness at sites with broken PXE
servers intermingled with working ones: when a ProxyDHCP request times
out, instead of giving up, we try the next PXE offer we've received.
It also allows us to avoid breaking up combined IP+PXE offers, which
can be important with some firewall configurations. This behavior
matches that of most vendor PXE ROMs.
Store a reference to the DHCPOFFER packet in the offer structure, so
that when registering settings after a successful ACK we can register
the proxy PXE settings we originally received; this removes the need
for a nonstandard duplicate REQUEST/ACK to port 67 of proxy servers
like dnsmasq that provide PXE options in the OFFER.
Total cost: 450 bytes uncompressed.

Currently, handling of URI escapes is ad-hoc; escaped strings are
stored as-is in the URI structure, and it is up to the individual
protocol to unescape as necessary. This is error-prone and expensive
in terms of code size. Modify this behavior by unescaping in
parse_uri() and escaping in unparse_uri() those fields that typically
handle URI escapes (hostname, user, password, path, query, fragment),
and allowing unparse_uri() to accept a subset of fields to print so
it can be easily used to generate e.g. the escaped HTTP path?query

A script loaded via autoboot may want to get some of the settings (MAC
address, IP address, et cetera) for the interface via which it was
loaded, in order to pass them to the operating system. Previously such
a script had no way to determine what to put in the X of ${netX/foo}.
Solve this problem by transparently forwarding accesses to the real
settings associated with the most recently opened network device,
so scripts in this situation can say literally ${netX/foo} and get
the foo setting they want.

The standard option ROM format provides a header indicating the size
of the entire ROM, which the BIOS will reserve space for, load, and
call as necessary. However, this space is strictly limited to 128k for
all ROMs. gPXE ameliorates this somewhat by reserving space for itself
in high memory and relocating the majority of its code there, but on
systems prior to PCI3 enough space must still be present to load the
ROM in the first place. Even on PCI3 systems, the BIOS often limits the
size of ROM it will load to a bit over 64kB.
These space problems can be solved by providing an artificially small
size in the ROM header: just enough to let the prefix code (at the
beginning of the ROM image) be loaded by the BIOS. To the BIOS, the
gPXE ROM will appear to be only a few kilobytes; it can then load
the rest of itself by accessing the ROM directly using the PCI
interface reserved for that task.
There are a few problems with this approach. First, gPXE needs to find
an unmapped region in memory to map the ROM so it can read from it;
this is done using the crude but effective approach of scanning high
memory (over 0xF0000000) for a sufficiently large region of all-ones
(0xFF) reads. (In x86 architecture, all-ones is returned for accesses
to memory regions that no mapped device can satisfy.) This is not
provably valid in all situations, but has worked well in practice.
More importantly, this type of ROM access can only work if the PCI ROM
BAR exists at all. NICs on physical add-in PCI cards generally must
have the BAR in order for the BIOS to be able to load their ROM, but
ISA cards and LAN-on-Motherboard cards will both fail to load gPXE
using this scheme.
Due to these uncertainties, it is recommended that .xrom only be used
when a regular .rom image is infeasible due to crowded option ROM
space. However, when it works it could allow loading gPXE images
as large as a flash chip one could find - 128kB or even higher.

For extremely tight space requirements and specific applications, it is
sometimes desirable to create gPXE images that cannot provide the PXE API
functionality to client programs. Add a configuration header option,
PXE_STACK, that can be removed to remove this stack. Also add PXE_MENU
to control the PXE boot menu, which most uses of gPXE do not need.

If we don't unload the PXE stack before executing gPXE, automatically
take advantage of the cached DHCPACK that the underlying/parent PXE
stack can provide. If that cached DHCPACK contains option 175.178, or
the user sets the use-cached setting before invoking DHCP, the real
DHCP request will be skipped and the cached DHCPACK will be used for
network configuration. Otherwise, the cached settings block is thrown
away as soon as a fresh one is acquired.
Signed-off-by: Marty Connor <mdc@etherboot.org>
When a DHCP session is started (using autoboot or a command-line `dhcp
net0'), check whether the new setting use-cached (DHCP option 175.178)
is TRUE; if so, skip DHCP and rely on currently registered
settings. This lets one combine a static IP with autoboot.
Before checking the use-cached setting, call a weak
get_cached_dhcpack() hook that can be implemented by particular builds
of gPXE supporting some fashion of retrieving a cached DHCPACK packet.
If one is available, it is registered as an options source, and then
either that packet's option 175.178 or the user's prior manual
use-cached setting can allow skipping duplicate DHCP.
Using cached packets is not the default because DHCP servers are often
configured to give gPXE different options than they give a vendor PXE
client; in order to break the infinite loop of PXE chaining, one would
need to load a gPXE with an embedded image that does something more
than autoboot.

pxenv_tftp_get_fsize is an API call that PXE clients can call to
obtain the size of a remote file. It is implemented by starting a TFTP
transfer with pxe_tftp_open, waiting for the response and then
stopping the transfer with pxe_tftp_close(). This leaves the session
hanging on the TFTP server and it will try to resend the packet
repeatedly (verified with tftpd-hpa) until it times out.
This patch adds a method "tftpsize" that will abort the transfer after
the first packet is received from the server. This will terminate the
session on the server and is the same behaviour as Intel's PXE ROM
exhibits.
Together with a qemu patch to handle the ERROR packet (submitted to
qemu's mailing list), this resolves a specific issue where booting
pxegrub with qemu's TFTP server would be slow or hang.
I've tested this against qemu's tftp server and against my normal boot
infrastructure (tftpd-hpa). Booting pxegrub and loading extra files
now produces a trace similar to Intel's PXE client and there are no
spurious retransmits from tftpd any more.

gPXE currently takes advantage of the feature of PCI3.0 that allows
option ROMs to relocate the bulk of their code to high memory and so
take up only a small amount of space in the option ROM area. Currently,
the relocation can only take place if the BIOS's implementation of PMM
can be made to return blocks aligned to an even megabyte, because of
the A20 gate. AMI BIOSes, in particular, will not return allocations
that gPXE can use.
Ameliorate the situation somewhat by adding a prefix, .hrom, that works
identically to .rom except in the case that PMM allocation fails. Where
.rom would give up and place itself entirely in option ROM space, .hrom
moves to a block (assumed free) at HIGHMEM_LOADPOINT = 4MB. This allows
for the use of larger gPXE ROMs than would otherwise be possible.
Because there is no way to check that the area at HIGHMEM_LOADPOINT is
really free, other devices using that memory during the boot process
will cause failure for gPXE, the other device, or both. In practice
such conflicts will likely not occur, but this prefix should still be
considered EXPERIMENTAL.

It is often the case that some module of gPXE is only relevant if the

commands to manage wireless interfaces are quite useless if no

may be a user-modifiable configuration options for these dependent
modules, but even if enabled, they should not be included when they
would be useless.
Solve this by allowing the creation of config_subsystem.c, for
configuration directives like those in the global config.c that should
only be considered when subsystem.c is included in the final gPXE
build.
For consistency, move core/config.c to the config/ directory, where

Some BIOSes (observed with an AMI BIOS on a SunFire X2200) seem to
reset the BIOS drive counter at 40:75 after a failed boot attempt.
This causes problems when attempting a Windows direct-to-iSCSI
installation: bootmgr.exe calls INT 13,0800 and gets told that there
are no hard disks, so never bothers to read the MBR in order to obtain
the boot disk signature. The Windows iSCSI initiator will detect the
iBFT and connect to the target, and everything will appear to work
except for the error message "This computer's hardware may not support
booting to this disk. Ensure that the disk's controller is enabled in
the computer's BIOS menu."
Fix by checking the BIOS drive counter on every INT 13 call, and
updating it whenever necessary.
The case of an unsupported SAN protocol will currently not result in
any error message. Fix by printing the error message at the top level
using strerror(), rather than using hard-coded error messages in the
error paths.
The latest RTL-generated register lists include (mostly redundant)
xxx_MSB values alongside xxx_LSB and xxx_RMASK, and also include
default register values.
Some subnet managers expect the GetResponse from a SetPortInfo MAD to
contain the new link state. The transition is not immediate, so we
often end up returning the previous link state. This can cause the SM
to fail to activate the port.
Fix by waiting for up to 20us for the link state transition to take
effect.
The first byte of the IPoIB MAC address is used for flags indicating
support for "connected mode". Strip out the non-QPN bits of the first
dword when constructing the address vector for transmitted IPoIB
packets, so as not to end up passing an invalid QPN in the BTH.
IBA section 14.2.5.2 states that "the contents of the NodeDescription
attribute are the same for all ports on a node". Satisfy this by
using the HCA GUID rather than the port GUID to form the node

We do not discard routing table entries when closing an interface. It

However, as of commit 612f4e7 "[settings] Avoid returning

fetch_ipv4_setting() will zero the IP address if the setting does not
exist, rather than leaving it unaltered.
Fix by fetching the setting first and calculating the default subnet
mask only if necessary.
ipv4.c uses a gateway address of INADDR_NONE to represent "no
gateway". It initialises the gateway address to INADDR_NONE before
calling fetch_ipv4_setting() to retrieve the configured gateway

The PXE type field is canonically little-endian, but the pxebs command

The iBFT is Ethernet-centric in providing only six bytes for a MAC
address. This is most probably an indirect consequence of a similar
design flaw in the Windows NDIS stack. (The WinOF IPoIB stack
performs all sorts of contortions in order to pretend to the NDIS
layer that it is dealing with six-byte MAC addresses.)
There is no sensible way in which to extend the iBFT without breaking
compatibility with programs that expect to parse it. Add the notion
of an "Ethernet-compatible" MAC address to our link layer abstraction,
so that link layers can provide their own workarounds for this
limitation.

Fix by setting the internal cachelsz to a sane value at the same time

A jump instruction starts at the third byte of an option ROM image, and
it is required that the bytes in the whole image add up to zero. To
achieve this, a checksum byte is usually placed after the jump. The jump
can be either a short jump (2 bytes, EB xx) or a near jump (3 bytes,
E9 xx xx). gPXE's romprefix.S uses a near jump, but modrom.pl assumed
a short jump, and clobbered the high byte of the offset. This caused
modrom-modified gPXE ROM images to crash the system during POST.
Fix by making modrom.pl place the checksum at byte 6, like makerom.pl does.

For IPoIB, the chaddr field is too small (16 bytes) to contain the
20-byte IPoIB link-layer address. RFC4390 mandates that we should
pass an empty chaddr field and rely on the DHCP client identifier
instead. This has many problems, not least of which is that a client
identifier containing an IPoIB link-layer address is not very useful
from the point of view of creating DHCP reservations, since the QPN
component is assigned at runtime and may vary between boots.
Leave the DHCP client identifier as-is, to avoid breaking existing
setups as far as possible, but expose the real hardware address (the
port GUID) via the DHCP chaddr field, using the broadcast flag to
instruct the DHCP server not to use this chaddr value as a link-layer
address.
This makes it possible (at least with ISC dhcpd) to create DHCP
reservations using host declarations such as:
host duckling {
fixed-address 10.252.252.99;
hardware unknown-32 00:02:c9:02:00:25:a1:b5;
}
IPoIB has a 20-byte link-layer address, of which only eight bytes
represent anything relating to a "hardware address".
The PXE and EFI SNP APIs expect the permanent address to be the same
size as the link-layer address, so fill in the "permanent address"
field with the initial link layer address (as generated by
register_netdev() based upon the real hardware address).
The hardware address is an intrinsic property of the hardware, while
the link-layer address can be changed at runtime. This separation is
exposed via APIs such as PXE and EFI, but is currently elided by gPXE.
Expose the hardware and link-layer addresses as separate properties
within a net device. Drivers should now fill in hw_addr, which will
be used to initialise ll_addr at the time of calling
register_netdev().
The option ROM header contains a one-byte field indicating the number
of 512-byte sectors in the ROM image. Currently it is linked to
contain the number of uncompressed sectors, with an instruction to the
compressor to correct it. This causes link failure when the
uncompressed size of the ROM image is over 128k.
Fix by replacing the SUBx compressor fixup with an ADDx fixup that
adds the total compressed output length, scaled as requested, to an
addend stored in the field where the final length value will be
placed. This is similar to the behavior of ELF relocations, and
ensures that an overflow error will not be generated unless the
compressed size is still too large for the field.
This also allows us to do away with the _filesz_pgh and _filesz_sect
calculations exported by the linker script.
Output tested bitwise identical to the old SUBx mechanism on hd, dsk,
lkrn, and rom prefixes, on both 32-bit and 64-bit processors.

The SRP Boot Firmware Table serves a similar role to the iSCSI and AoE
Boot Firmware Tables; it provides information required by the loaded
OS in order to establish a connection back to the SRP boot device.
There is diagnostic value in being able to disambiguate between the
various reasons why an IB CM has rejected a connection attempt. In
particular, reason 8 "invalid service ID" can be used to identify an
incorrect SRP service_id root-path component, and reason 28 "consumer
reject" corresponds to a genuine SRP login rejection IU, which can be
passed up to the SRP layer.
For rejection reasons other than "consumer reject", we should not pass
through the private data, since it is most likely generated by the CM
without any protocol-specific knowledge.
With iSCSI, connection attempts are expensive; it may take many
seconds to determine that a connection will fail. SRP connection
attempts are much less expensive, so we may as well avoid the
"optimisation" of declaring a state of permanent failure after a
certain number of attempts. This allows a gPXE SRP initiator to
resume operations after an arbitrary amount of SRP target downtime.
Generate errors within individual MAD transaction consumers such as
ib_pathrec.c and ib_mcast.c, rather than within ib_mi.c. This allows
for more meaningful error messages to eventually be displayed to the
user.
SRP is the SCSI RDMA Protocol. It allows for a method of SAN booting
whereby the target is responsible for reading and writing data using
Remote DMA directly to the initiator's memory. The software initiator
merely sends and receives SCSI commands; it never has to touch the
actual data.
The minimal-surprise behaviour, when no explicit SRP initiator device
is specified, will probably be to use the most recently opened
Infiniband device. This matches our behaviour with using the most
recently opened net device for PXE, iSCSI, AoE, NBI, etc.
SRP over Infiniband uses a protocol whereby data is sent via a
combination of the CM private data fields and the RC queue pair
itself. This seems sufficiently generic that it's worth having
available as a separate protocol.
The ACK timeout determines how long we take to notice a failed
Reliable Connection. Reducing it from the arbitrary value of 19 down
to 14 reduces the individual ACK timeout from around 2.1s to 67ms;
this in turn reduces the time to tear down and re-establish a broken
SRP session from around 30s to around 1s.
The Infiniband Communication Manager will refuse to establish a
connection if it believes the connection is already established.
There is no immediately obvious way to ask it to tear down the
existing connection and replace it; to issue a DREP we would need to
know the local and remote communication IDs used for the previous
connection setup.
We can work around this by randomising the high-order bits of the
queue pair number; these have no significance to the hardware, but are
sufficient to convince the IB CM that this is a different connection.
We will terminate our transaction as soon as we receive the first CM
REP, since that provides all the state that we need. However, the
peer may resend the REP if it didn't see our RTU, and if we don't
respond with another RTU we risk being disconnected. (This protocol
appears not to handle retries gracefully.)
Fix by adding a management agent that will listen for these duplicate
REPs and send back an RTU.

Previously the maximum packet length was computed using an erroneous
understanding of the role of the MIC field in TKIP-encrypted packets.
The field is actually considered to be part of the MSDU (encrypted and
fragmented data), not the MPDU (container for each encrypted
fragment). As such its size does not contribute to cryptographic
overhead outside the data field's size limitations. The net result is
that the previous maximum packet length value was 4 bytes too long;
fix it to the correct value of 2352.

its computations configurable, so that it can be used in calculating
durations that must be set in hardware for ACK and CTS packets. Add
net80211_cts_duration() for the common case of calculating the

A management interface is the component through which both local and
remote management agents are accessed.
This new implementation of a management interface allows for the user
to react to timed-out transactions, and also allows for cancellation
of in-progress transactions.
Some BIOSes support the BIOS Boot Specification (BBS) but fail to set
%es:%di correctly when calling the option ROM initialisation entry
point. This causes gPXE to identify the BIOS as non-PnP (and so
non-BBS), leaving the user unable to control the boot order.
Fix by scanning for the $PnP signature ourselves, rather than relying
on the BIOS having passed in %es:%di correctly.

The Linux IB Communication Manager will always send MADs to QP1,
rather than back to the originating QP. On Hermon, QP1 is by default
handled by the embedded firmware. We can change this, but the cost is
that we have to handle both QP0 and QP1 (i.e. we have to provide SMA
as well as GMA service in software), and we have to use MLX queues
rather than standard UD queues (i.e. we have to construct the UD
datagrams by hand).
There doesn't seem to be any viable way around this situation, ugly
though it is.
Queue pairs are now assumed to be created in the INIT state, with a
call to ib_modify_qp() required to bring the queue pair to the RTS
state.
ib_modify_qp() no longer takes a modification list; callers should
modify the relevant queue pair parameters (e.g. qkey) directly and
then call ib_modify_qp() to synchronise the changes to the hardware.
The packet sequence number is now a property of the queue pair, rather
than of the device.
Each queue pair may have an associated address vector. For RC queue
pairs, this is the address vector that will be programmed in to the
hardware as the remote address. For UD queue pairs, it will be used
as the default address vector if none is supplied to ib_post_send().
Now that MAD handlers no longer return a status code, we can allow
them to return a pointer to a MAD structure if and only if they want
to send a response. This provides a more natural and flexible
approach than using a "response method" field within the handler's
descriptor.
MAD handlers have to set the status fields within the MAD itself
anyway, in order to provide a meaningful response MAD; the additional
gPXE return status code is just noise.
Note that we probably don't need to ever explicitly set the status to
IB_MGMT_STATUS_OK, since it should already have this value from the
request. (By not explicitly setting the status in this way, we can
safely have ib_sma_set_xxx() call ib_sma_get_xxx() in order to
generate the GetResponse MAD without worrying that ib_sma_get_xxx()
will clear any error status set by ib_sma_set_xxx().)
Most IB hardware seems not to allow allocation of the genuine QPNs 0
and 1, so allow for the externally-visible QPN (as constructed and
parsed by ib_packet, where used) to differ from the real
hardware-allocated QPN.
The queue key is stored as a property of the queue pair, and so can
optionally be added by the Infiniband core at the time of calling
ib_post_send(), rather than always having to be specified by the
caller.
This allows IPoIB to avoid explicitly keeping track of the data queue
key.
Now that path record lookups are handled entirely via
ib_resolve_path(), the only role of the IPoIB peer cache is as a
lookup table for MAC addresses. Update the code structure and
comments to reflect this.
The IPoIB broadcast MAC address varies according to the partition key.
Now that the broadcast MAC address is a property of the network device
rather than of the link layer, we can expose this real MAC address
directly.
The broadcast LID is now identified via a path record lookup; this is
marginally inefficient (since it was present in the MCMemberRecord
GetResponse), but avoids the need to special-case broadcasts when
constructing the address vector in ipoib_transmit().
Generalise the subnet management agent into a general management agent
capable of sending and responding to MADs, including support for
retransmissions as necessary.
Currently, all Infiniband users must create a process for polling
their completion queues (or rely on a regular hook such as
netdev_poll() in ipoib.c).
Move instead to a model whereby the Infiniband core maintains a single
process calling ib_poll_eq(), and polling the event queue triggers
polls of the applicable completion queues. (At present, the
Infiniband core simply polls all of the device's completion queues.)
Polling a completion queue will now implicitly refill all attached
receive work queues; this is analogous to the way that netdev_poll()
implicitly refills the RX ring.
Infiniband users no longer need to create a process just to poll their
completion queues and refill their receive rings.
IPoIB and the SMA have separate constants for the packet size to be
used to I/O buffer allocations. Merge these into the single
IB_MAX_PAYLOAD_SIZE constant.
(Various other points in the Infiniband stack have hard-coded
assumptions of a 2048-byte payload; we don't currently support
variable MTUs.)
