[netdevice] Cancel all pending transmissions on any transmit error
Some external code (such as the UEFI UNDI driver for the Realtek USB
NIC on a Microsoft Surface Book) will block during transmission
attempts and can take several seconds to report a transmit error. If
there is a large queue of pending transmissions, then the accumulated
time from a series of such failures can easily exceed the EFI watchdog
timeout, resulting in what appears to be a system lockup followed by a
reboot.
Work around this problem by immediately cancelling any pending
transmissions as soon as any transmit error occurs.
The only expected transmit error under normal operation is ENOBUFS
arising when the hardware transmit queue is full. By definition, this
can happen only for drivers that do not utilise deferred
transmissions, and so this new behaviour will not affect these
drivers.

[tls] Keep cipherstream window open until TLS negotiation is complete
When performing a SAN boot, the plainstream window size will be zero
(since this is the mechanism used internally to indicate that no data
should be fetched via the initial request). This zero value currently
propagates to the advertised TCP window size, which prevents the TLS
negotiation from completing.
Fix by ensuring that the cipherstream window is held open until TLS
negotiation is complete, and only then falling back to passing through
the plainstream window size.

As of kernel 4.11, the LIO target will propose a value for
FirstBurstLength if the initiator did not do so. This is entirely
redundant in our case, since FirstBurstLength is defined by RFC 3720
to be
"Irrelevant when: ( InitialR2T=Yes and ImmediateData=No )"
and we already enforce both InitialR2T=Yes and ImmediateData=No in our
initial proposal. However, LIO (arguably correctly) complains when we
do not respond to its redundant proposal of an already-irrelevant
value.
Fix by always proposing the default value for FirstBurstLength.

[http] Notify data transfer interface when underlying connection is ready
HTTP implements xfer_window_changed() on the underlying server
connection using http_step(), which does not propagate the window
change notification to the data transfer interface. This breaks the
multipath-capable SAN boot code, which relies on the window change
notification to discover that the HTTP block device is ready for
commands to be issued.
Fix by sending xfer_window_changed() in http_step() once the
underlying connection has been determined to be ready.

Describe all SAN devices via ACPI tables such as the iBFT. For tables
that can describe only a single device (i.e. the aBFT and sBFT), one
table is installed per device. For multi-device tables (i.e. the
iBFT), all devices are described in a single table.
An underlying SAN device connection may be closed at the time that we
need to construct an ACPI table. We therefore introduce the concept
of an "ACPI descriptor" which enables the SAN boot code to maintain an
opaque pointer to the underlying object, and an "ACPI model" which can
build tables from a list of such descriptors. This separates the
lifecycles of ACPI descriptions from the lifecycles of the block
device interfaces, and allows for construction of the ACPI tables even
if the block device interface has been closed.
For a multipath SAN device, iPXE will wait until sufficient
information is available to describe all devices but will not wait for
all paths to connect successfully. For example: with a multipath
iSCSI boot iPXE will wait until at least one path has become available
and name resolution has completed on all other paths. We do this
since the iBFT has to include IP addresses rather than DNS names. We
will commence booting without waiting for the inactive paths to either
become available or close; this avoids unnecessary boot delays.
Note that the Linux kernel will refuse to accept an iBFT with more
than two NIC or target structures. We therefore describe only the
NICs that are actually required in order to reach the described
targets. Any iBFT with at most two targets is therefore guaranteed to
describe at most two NICs.

[infiniband] Return status code from ib_create_cq() and ib_create_qp()

Some iSCSI targets send NOP-In. Rather than closing the connection
when we receive one, it is more user friendly to log a debug message
and keep the connection open. Eventually, it would be nice if iPXE
supported replying to NOP-Ins, but we might as well keep the
connection open until the target disconnects us.

Allow the active timer (providing udelay() and currticks()) to be
selected at runtime based on probing during the INIT_EARLY stage of
initialisation.
TICKS_PER_SEC is now a fixed compile-time constant for all builds, and
is independent of the underlying clock tick rate. We choose the value
1024 to allow multiplications and divisions on seconds to be converted
to bit shifts.
TICKS_PER_MS is defined as 1, allowing multiplications and divisions
on milliseconds to be omitted entirely. The 2% inaccuracy in this
definition is negligible when using the standard BIOS timer (running
at around 18.2Hz).
TIMER_RDTSC now checks for a constant TSC before claiming to be a

[netdevice] Limit MTU by hardware maximum frame length
Separate out the concept of "hardware maximum supported frame length"
and "configured link MTU", and limit the latter according to the

In networks where the DHCP-supplied link MTU is inconsistent with the

Select the IPv6 source address and corresponding router (if any) using
a very simplified version of the algorithm from RFC6724:
- Ignore any source address that has a smaller scope than the
destination address. For example, do not use a link-local source
address when sending to a global destination address.
- If we have a source address which is on the same link as the
destination address, then use that source address.
- If we are left with multiple possible source addresses, then choose
the address with the smallest scope. For example, if we are sending
to a site-local destination address and we have both a global source
address and a site-local source address, then use the site-local
source address.
- If we are still left with multiple possible source addresses, then
choose the address with the longest matching prefix.
For the purposes of this algorithm, we treat RFC4193 Unique Local
Addresses as having organisation-local scope. Since we use only
link-local scope for our multicast transmissions, this approximation
should remain valid in all practical situations.

[ipv6] Create routing table based on IPv6 settings
Use the IPv6 settings to construct the routing table, in a matter
analogous to the construction of the IPv4 routing table.
This allows for manual assignment of IPv6 addresses via e.g.
set net0/ip6 2001:ba8:0:1d4::6950:5845
set net0/len6 64
set net0/gateway6 fe80::226:bff:fedd:d3c0
The prefix length ("len6") may be omitted, in which case a default
prefix length of 64 will be assumed.
Multiple IPv6 addresses may be assigned manually by implicitly
creating child settings blocks. For example:
set net0/ip6 2001:ba8:0:1d4::6950:5845
set net0.ula/ip6 fda4:2496:e992::6950:5845

[ipv6] Match user expectations for IPv6 settings priorities

"highest-priority" of the IPv6 addresses, even when multiple IPv6
addresses are active. The expected order of priority is likely to be
manually-assigned addresses first, then stateful DHCPv6 addresses,
then SLAAC addresses, and lastly link-local addresses.
Using ${priority} to enforce an ordering is undesirable since that
would affect the priority assigned to each of the net<N> blocks as a
whole, so use the sibling ordering capability instead.

[ipv6] Perform SLAAC only during autoconfiguration
We currently perform IPv6 stateless address autoconfiguration (SLAAC)
in response to any router advertisement with the relevant flags set.
This can result in the local IPv6 source address changing midway
through a TCP connection, since our connections bind only to a local
port number and do not store a local network address.
In addition, this behaviour for SLAAC is inconsistent with that for
DHCPv4 and stateful DHCPv6, both of which will be performed only as a
result of an explicit autoconfiguration action (e.g. via the default
autoboot sequence, or the "ifconf" command).
Fix by ignoring router advertisements arriving outside the context of
an ongoing autoconfiguration attempt.

[ipv4] Send gratuitous ARPs whenever a new IPv4 address is applied
In a busy network (such as a public cloud), IPv4 addresses may be
recycled rapidly. When this happens, unidirectional traffic (such as
UDP syslog) will succeed, but bidirectional traffic (such as TCP
connections) may fail due to stale ARP cache entries on other nodes.
The remote ARP cache expiry timeout is likely to exceed iPXE's
connection timeout, meaning that boot attempts can fail before the
problem is automatically resolved.
Fix by sending gratuitous ARPs whenever an IPv4 address is changed, to
attempt to update stale remote ARP cache entries. Note that this is
not a guaranteed fix, since ARP is an unreliable protocol.
We avoid sending gratuitous ARPs unconditionally, since otherwise any
unrelated settings change (e.g. "set dns 192.168.0.1") would cause
unexpected gratuitous ARPs to be sent.

[dhcpv6] Include vendor class identifier option in DHCPv6 requests
RFC3315 defines DHCPv6 option 16 (vendor class identifier) but does
not define any direct relationship with the roughly equivalent DHCPv4
option 60.
The PXE specification predates IPv6, and the UEFI specification is
expectedly vague on the subject. Examination of the reference EDK2
codebase suggests that the DHCPv6 vendor class identifier will be
formatted in accordance with RFC3315, using a single vendor-class-data
item in which the opaque-data field is the string as would appear in
DHCPv4 option 60.
RFC3315 requires the vendor class identifier to specify an IANA
enterprise number, as a way of disambiguating the vendor-class-data
namespace. The EDK2 code uses the value 343, described as:
// TODO: IANA TBD: temporarily using Intel's

[tcp] Send TCP keepalives on idle established connections
In some circumstances, intermediate devices may lose state in a way
that temporarily prevents the successful delivery of packets from a
TCP peer. For example, a firewall may drop a NAT forwarding table
entry.
Since iPXE spends most of its time downloading files (and hence purely
receiving data, sending only TCP ACKs), this can easily happen in a
situation in which there is no reason for iPXE's TCP stack to generate
any retransmissions. The temporary loss of connectivity can therefore
effectively become permanent.
Work around this problem by sending TCP keepalives after a period of
inactivity on an established connection.
TCP keepalives usually send a single garbage byte in sequence number
space that has already been ACKed by the peer. Since we do not need
to elicit a response from the peer, we instead send pure ACKs (with no
garbage data) in order to keep the transmit code path simple.
