net: add missing SPDX-License-Identifier for files originating from LiMon

2025-08-18T13:47:57+00:00

The header of LiMon imported files reference a License file which
does not exist in U-Boot. Some files were forgotten when adding the
SPDX-License-Identifier.
The LiMon files were originally licensed under GPLv2 as can be seen in
commit [2ea91039].

Based on this commit, add the correct SPDX license identifier.
While at it drop the reference to the non-existing License file from all
LiMon files and update the SPDX-License-Identifier to SPDX version 3.

global: Drop common.h inclusion

2023-12-21T13:54:37+00:00

In order to make it easier to move on to dropping common.h from code
directly, remove common.h inclusion from the rest of the header file
which had been including it.

net: Don't overwrite waiting packets with asynchronous replies

2018-10-10T17:29:01+00:00

Peter originally sent a fix, but it breaks a number of other things.
This addresses the original reported issue in a different way.

That report was:

> U-Boot has 1 common buffer to send Ethernet frames, pointed to by
> net_tx_packet.  When sending to an IP address without knowing the MAC
> address, U-Boot makes an ARP request (using the arp_tx_packet buffer)
> to find out the MAC address of the IP addressr. When a matching ARP

> net_tx_packet buffer.
>
> However, in the mean time, if U-Boot needs to send out any network
> packets (e.g. replying ping packets or ARP requests for its own IP
> address etc.), it will use the net_tx_packet buffer to prepare the
> new packet. Thus this buffer is no longer the original packet meant
> to be transmitted after the ARP reply. The original packet will be
> lost.

This instead uses the ARP tx buffer to send async replies in the case
where we are actively waiting for an ARP reply.

SPDX: Convert a few files that were missed before

2018-05-11T00:38:35+00:00

As part of the main conversion a few files were missed.  These files had
additional whitespace after the '*' and before the SPDX tag and my
previous regex was too strict.  This time I did a grep for all SPDX tags
and then filtered out anything that matched the correct styles.

net/arp: account for ARP delay, avoid duplicate packets on timeout

2015-10-28T19:57:37+00:00

eth_rx() in the main reception loop may trigger sending a packet which
is already timed out (or will immediately) upon reception of an ARP reply.
As long as the ARP reply is pending, the timeout handler of a packet
should be postponed.
Happens on TFTP with bad network (e.g. WLAN).

net: cosmetic: Clean up ARP variables and functions

net: cosmetic: Change IPaddr_t to struct in_addr

2015-04-18T17:11:32+00:00

This patch is simply clean-up to make the IPv4 type that is used match
what Linux uses. It also attempts to move all variables that are IP
addresses use good naming instead of CamelCase. No functional change.

SPDX License cleanup for LiMon imported files

2014-10-10T13:44:43+00:00

A number of network related files were imported from the LiMon
project; these contain a somewhat unclear license statement:

	Copyright 1994 - 2000 Neil Russell.
	(See License)

I analyzed the source code of LiMon v1.4.2 which was used for this
import.  It does not contain any "License" file, but the top level
directory contains a file "COPYING", which turns out to be GPL v2
of June 1991.  So it is legitimate to conclude that the LiMon derived
files are also to be released under GPLv2.  Mark them as such.

net: Separate ArpRequest() into lower-level func

2012-05-23T22:53:07+00:00

Link-local support will need to send ARP packets, but needs more
fine-grained control over the contents.  Split the implementation
into 2 parts so link-local can share the code.

net: Don't copy every packet that waits for an ARP

2012-05-23T22:53:07+00:00

Use the NetArpTxPacket for the ARP packet, not to hold what used to
be in NetTxPacket.
This saves a copy and makes the code easier to understand.
