From RFC1542:
The 'giaddr' field is rather poorly named. It exists to facilitate
the transfer of BOOTREQUEST messages from a client, through BOOTP
relay agents, to servers on different networks than the client.
Similarly, it facilitates the delivery of BOOTREPLY messages from the
servers, through BOOTP relay agents, back to the client. In no case
does it represent a general IP router to be used by the client. A
BOOTP client MUST set the 'giaddr' field to zero (0.0.0.0) in all
BOOTREQUEST messages it generates.
A BOOTP client MUST NOT interpret the 'giaddr' field of a BOOTREPLY
message to be the IP address of an IP router. A BOOTP client SHOULD
completely ignore the contents of the 'giaddr' field in BOOTREPLY
messages.
Leave code ifdef'd out for the time being in case we see regression.

EDK2 network stack is based on Managed Network Protocol which is layered
on top of Simple Management Protocol and does background polling. This
polling races with grub for received (and probably trasmitted) packets
which causes either serious slowdown or complete failure to load files.
Open SNP device exclusively. This destroys all child MNP instances and
stops background polling.
Exclusive open cannot be done when enumerating cards, as it would destroy
PXE information we need to autoconfigure interface; and it cannot be done
during autoconfiguration as we need to do it for non-PXE boot as well. So
move SNP open to card ->open method and add matching ->close to clean up.

EDK2 PXE driver creates two child devices - IPv4 and IPv6 - with
bound SNP instance. This means we get three cards for every physical
adapter when enumerating. Not only is this confusing, this may result
in grub ignoring packets that come in via the "wrong" card.
Example of device hierarchy is
Ctrl[91] PciRoot(0x0)/Pci(0x3,0x0)
Ctrl[95] PciRoot(0x0)/Pci(0x3,0x0)/MAC(525400123456,0x1)
Ctrl[B4] PciRoot(0x0)/Pci(0x3,0x0)/MAC(525400123456,0x1)/IPv4(0.0.0.0)
Ctrl[BC] PciRoot(0x0)/Pci(0x3,0x0)/MAC(525400123456,0x1)/IPv6(0000:0000:0000:0000:0000:0000:0000:0000)
Skip PXE created virtual devices when enumerating cards. Make sure to
find real card when applying initial autoconfiguration during PXE boot,
this information is associated with one of child devices.
This reverts commits 47b2bee3ef
and 8d3c4544ff. It is not safe
to free allocated cards, dangling pointers main remain. Such
cleanup requires more changes in net core.
This restrict ARP handling to MAC and IP addresses but in practice we need
only this case anyway and other cases are very rar if exist at all. It makes
code much simpler and less error-prone.
Using the http module to download config files, produces memory errors,
after the config file is downloaded.
The error was traced to the tcp stack in grub-core/net/tcp.c. The wrong
netbuff pointer was being freed in the clean up loop.
Changing the code to free the correct netbuff pointer removes the runtime
error.
Closes 42765.
Many routers have long router advertisment interval configured by
default. The Neighbor Discovery protocol (RFC4861) has defined default
MaxRtrAdvInterval value as 600 seconds and
MinRtrAdvInterval as 0.33*MaxRtrAdvInterval. This makes
net_ipv6_autoconf fails more often than not as currently it passively
listens the RA message to perfom address autoconfiguration.
This patch tries to send router solicitation to overcome the problem of
long RA interval.
v2:
use cpu_to_be macro for network byte order conversion
add missing error handling
The structure size used in grub_netbuff_pull to get the pointer to
option header is apparently wrong, which leads to subsequent range check
failed and therefore not responding to any neighbor solicit message in my
testing.
It enables net boot even when there is no bootp/dhcp server.
* grub-core/net/drivers/ieee1275/ofnet.c: Add grub_ieee1275_parse_bootpath and
call it at grub_ieee1275_net_config_real.
* grub-core/kern/ieee1275/init.c: Add bootpath to grub_ieee1275_net_config.
* include/grub/ieee1275/ieee1275.h: Likewise.
In net/net.c there is a while (1) that only exits if there is a stop
condition and more then 10 packages or if there is no package received.
If GRUB is idle and enter in this loop, the only condition to leave is
if it doesn't have incoming packages. In a network with heavy traffic
this never happens.
Adding multiple questions on a single DNS query is not supportted by
most DNS servers. This patch issues two separate DNS queries
sequentially for ipv4 and then for ipv6.
