Under some circumstances (e.g. if iPXE itself is booted via iSCSI, or
after an unclean reboot), the backend may not be in the expected
InitWait state when iPXE starts up.
There is no generic reset mechanism for Xenbus devices. Recent
versions of xen-netback will gracefully perform all of the required
steps if the frontend sets its state to Initialising. Older versions
(such as that found in XenServer 6.2.0) require the frontend to
transition through Closed before reaching Initialising.
Add a reset mechanism for netfront devices which does the following:
- read current backend state
- if backend state is anything other than InitWait, then set the
frontend state to Closed and wait for the backend to also reach
Closed
- set the frontend state to Initialising and wait for the backend to
reach InitWait.

Using version 1 grant tables limits guests to using 16TB of grantable
RAM, and prevents the use of subpage grants. Some versions of the Xen
hypervisor refuse to allow the grant table version to be set after the
first grant references have been created, so the loaded operating
system may be stuck with whatever choice we make here. We therefore
currently use version 2 grant tables, since they give the most
flexibility to the loaded OS.
Current versions (7.2.0) of the Windows PV drivers have no support for
version 2 grant tables, and will merrily create version 1 entries in
what the hypervisor believes to be a version 2 table. This causes
some confusion.
Avoid this problem by attempting to use version 1 tables, since
otherwise we may render Windows unable to boot.
Play nicely with other potential bootloaders by accepting either
version 1 or version 2 grant tables (if we are unable to set our
requested version).
Note that the use of version 1 tables on a 64-bit system introduces a
possible failure path in which a frame number cannot fit into the
32-bit field within the v1 structure. This in turn introduces
additional failure paths into netfront_transmit() and
netfront_refill_rx().

[xen] Accept alternative Xen platform PCI device ID 5853:0002
At some point during XenServer development history, the Windows PV
drivers changed to using a PCI device ID of 5853:0002 rather than
5853:0001. Current (7.2.0) drivers will bind to either 5853:0001 or
5853:0002, and the general approach taken by the world at large
(including Amazon EC2) seems to be to use only 5853:0001.
However, the current version of XenServer (6.2.0) will create the
platform device as 5853:0002 (via the platform:device_id VM parameter)
for any VMs created using the built-in templates for Windows Vista or
later.
Accept either PCI ID, since the underlying device is identical.

The behavior observed in the Apple EFI (1.10) RecieveFilters() call
is:
- failure if any of the PROMISCUOUS or MULTICAST filters are
included
- success if only UNICAST is included, however the result is
UNICAST|BROADCAST
- success if only UNICAST and BROADCAST are included
- if UNICAST, or UNICAST|BROADCAST are used, but the previous call
tried (and failed) to set UNICAST|BROADCAST|MULTICAST, then the
result is UNICAST|BROADCAST|MULTICAST
Work around this apparently broken SNP implementation by trying
RecieveFilterMask, then falling back to UNICAST|BROADCAST|MULTICAST,
then UNICAST|BROADCAST, and finally UNICAST.

[efi] Open device path protocol only at point of use
Some EFI 1.10 systems (observed on an Apple iMac) do not allow us to
open the device path protocol with an attribute of
EFI_OPEN_PROTOCOL_BY_DRIVER and so we cannot maintain a safe,
long-lived pointer to the device path. Work around this by instead
opening the device path protocol with an attribute of
EFI_OPEN_PROTOCOL_GET_PROTOCOL whenever we need to use it.

[efi] Avoid unnecessarily passing pointers to EFI_HANDLEs
efi_file_install() and efi_download_install() are both used to install

of their calls to InstallMultipleProtocolInterfaces() to create a new

By passing the handle directly (rather than a pointer to the handle),
we avoid potential confusion (and erroneous debug message colours).

Reject network devices which appear to be duplicates of those already
available via a different underlying hardware device. On a Xen PV-HVM
system, this allows us to filter out the emulated PCI NICs (which
would otherwise appear alongside the netfront NICs).
Note that we cannot use the Xen facility to "unplug" the emulated PCI
NICs, since there is no guarantee that the OS we subsequently load
will have a native netfront driver.
We permit devices with the same MAC address if they are attached to
the same underlying hardware device (e.g. VLAN devices).

[efi] Fill in loaded image's DeviceHandle if firmware fails to do so
Some EFI 1.10 implementations (observed with a mid-2011 iMac) seem to
fail to fill in the DeviceHandle for our loaded images. It is
plausible that these implementations fill in the DeviceHandle only if
loading the image from a device path (rather than directly from a
memory buffer).
Work around this problem by filling in DeviceHandle if the firmware
leaves it empty.
We cannot sensibly fill in FilePath, because we have no way of knowing
whether or not the firmware will treat this as a pointer to be freed
when the image returns.

If the StartImage() call returns with no error, then the image must
have been started and returned successfully. It either unloaded
itself, or it intended to remain loaded (e.g. it was a driver). We
therefore do not unload successful images.
If there was an error, we attempt to unload the image. This may not
work. In particular, there is no way to tell whether an error
returned from StartImage() was due to being unable to start the image
(in which case we probably should call UnloadImage()), or due to the
image itself returning an error (in which case we probably should not
call UnloadImage()). We therefore ignore any failures from the
UnloadImage() call itself.

[efi] Default to releasing network devices for use via SNP
We currently treat network devices as available for use via the SNP
API only if RX queue processing has been frozen. (This is similar in
spirit to the way that RX queue processing is frozen for the network
device currently exposed via the PXE API.)
The default state of a freshly created network device is for the RX
queue to not be frozen, and thus to be unavailable for use via SNP.
This causes problems when devices are added through code paths other
than _efidrv_start() (which explicitly releases devices for use via
SNP).
We don't actually need to freeze RX queue processing, since calls via
the SNP API will always use netdev_poll() rather than net_poll(), and
so will never trigger the RX queue processing code path anyway.
We can therefore simplify the code to use a single global flag to
indicate whether network devices are claimed for use by iPXE or
available for use via SNP. Using a global flag allows the default
state for dynamically created network devices to behave sensibly.

[lotest] Discard packets arriving on the incorrect network device
Commit 24bbaf6 ("[lotest] Allow loopback testing on shared networks")
introduced a regression in which loopback testing packets would be
accepted from any network device. This produces unexpected results,
such as VLAN loopback testing succeeding even when incorrectly using
the underlying trunk device as either transmitter or receiver.
Fix by discarding any loopback testing packets which arrive on a
network device other than the current loopback testing receiver.
