Network boot autoconfiguration sets default server to next server IP
(siaddr) from BOOTP/DHCP reply, but manual configuration using net_bootp
exports only server name. Unfortunately semantic of server name is not
clearly defined. BOOTP RFC 951 defines it only for client request, and
DHCP RFC 1541 only mentions it, without any implied usage. It looks like
this field is mostly empty in server replies.
Export next server IP as net_<interface>_next_server variable. This allows
grub configuration script to set $root/$prefix based on information obtained
by net_bootp.

v2: change variable name to net_<interface>_next_server as discussed on the list
limit_time underflows when current time is less than 90000ms.
This causes packet fragments received during this time, i.e.,
till 90000ms pass since timer init, to be rejected.
Hence, set it to 0 if its less than 90000.

We may get more than one response before exiting out of loop in
grub_net_dns_lookup, but buffer was allocated for the first response only,
so storing answers from subsequent replies wrote past allocated size.
We never really use more than the very first address during lookup so there
is little point in collecting all of them. Just quit early if we already have
some reply.
Code needs serious redesign to actually collect multiple answers
and select the best fit according to requested type (IPv4 or IPv6).

If we open new connection, we need to reset stall indication, otherwise
nothing will ever be polled (low level code rely on this field being
zero when establishing connection).
At least the apache sever is very unhappy with that extra null line and will
take more than ten seconds in responding to each range request, which slows
down a lot the entire http file transfer process or even time out.
ipv6 routing in grub2 is broken, we cannot talk to anything outside our local
network or anything that doesn't route in our global namespace. This patch
fixes this by doing a couple of things
1) Read the router information off of the router advertisement. If we have a
router lifetime we need to take the source address and create a route from it.
2) Changes the routing stuff slightly to allow you to specify a gateway _and_ an
interface. Since the router advertisements come in on the link local address we
need to associate it with the global address on the card. So when we are
processing the router advertisement, either use the SLAAC interface we create
and add the route to that interface, or loop through the global addresses we
currently have on our interface and associate it with one of those addresses.
We need to have a special case here for the default route so that it gets used,
we do this by setting the masksize to 0 to mean it encompasses all networks.
The routing code will automatically select the best route so if there is a
closer match we will use that.
With this patch I can now talk to ipv6 addresses outside of my local network.

server cannot be NULL at this point (we return error earlier if it is).
Also structure is zalloc'ed, so no need to explicitly initialize
members to 0.

While adding tcp window scaling support I was finding that I'd get some packet
loss or reordering when transferring from large distances and grub would just
timeout. This is because we weren't ack'ing when we got our OOO packet, so the
sender didn't know it needed to retransmit anything, so eventually it would fill
the window and stop transmitting, and we'd time out. Fix this by ACK'ing when
we don't find our next sequence numbered packet. With this fix I no longer time
out. Thanks,

We were resetting nb->data every time we tried a new server, but we need to do
it every time we try for a different record, otherwise we don't end up falling

sun4v vnet devices do not implement the support of duplex and speed
instance attributes. An attempt to open such a device with
the attributes will fail:
ok select net:speed=auto,duplex=auto
Unknown key 'speed'
Unknown key 'duplex'
Manual Configuration: Host IP, boot server and filename must be specified
WARNING: /virtual-devices@100/channel-devices@200/network@0: Can't open OBP standard TFTP package

The EFI spec indicates that get_status() should return the address of the buffer
we passed into transmit to indicate the the buffer was transmitted. However we
have boxes where the firmware returns some arbitrary address instead, which
makes grub think that we've not sent anything. So since we have the SNP stuff
opened in exclusive mode just assume any non-NULL txbuf means that our transmit
occurred properly. This makes grub able to do its networking stuff properly on
our broken firmware. Thanks,

Exclusive open on SNP will close all existing protocol instances which
may disable all receive filters on interface. Reinstall them after we
opened protocol exclusively.
Also follow UEFI specification recommendation and stop interfaces when
closing them:
Unexpected system errors, reboots and hangs can occur if an OS is loaded
and the network devices are not Shutdown() and Stopped().

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.
Based on patch from Mark Salter <msalter@redhat.com>

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.

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.
