net: fix netconsole filtering

2012-10-03T23:01:22+00:00

Adjustment of Michael Walle's fix patch

Commit 8a0eccb1056b313b45ab62e3aac400f339aa71b4 breaks netconsole. src_ip
must not be converted to host byte order, because nc_ip is already stored
in network byte order (see string_to_ip(), called by getenv_IPaddr()).

OMAP: networking support for SPL

2012-10-01T17:02:14+00:00

This patch adds support for networking in SPL. Some devices are
capable of loading SPL via network so it makes sense to load the
main U-Boot binary via network too. This patch tries to use
existing network code as much as possible. Unfortunately, it depends
on environment which in turn depends on other code so SPL size
is increased significantly. No effort was done to decouple network
code and environment so far.

net/bootp: add VCI support for BOOTP also

2012-10-01T17:02:14+00:00

Vendor Class Identifier option is common to BOOTP and DHCP and
can be useful without PXE. So send VCI in both BOOTP and DHCP
requests if CONFIG_BOOTP_VCI_STRING is defined.

net: Quietly ignore DHCP Option 28 (Broadcast Address)

2012-09-27T17:22:13+00:00

Some DHCP servers (notably dnsmasq) always transmit DHCP Option 28,
Broadcast Address as specified in RFC 2132. Without this patch u-boot
displays the warning:
  *** Unhandled DHCP Option in OFFER/ACK: 28

The patch suppresses the warning and ignores DHCP Option 28. There is
no environment variable to set the broadcast address into and if for
some reason u-boot needs the broadcast it can be calculated from
ipaddr and netmask.

net: eth_write_hwaddr: Return error for invalid MACs

If dev->enetaddr was supposed to be set with dev->write_hwaddr() but the MAC
address was not valid, return an error.

net: Filter incoming netconsole packets by IP

2012-09-24T18:55:44+00:00

Check the incoming packets' source IP address... if ncip isn't set to a
broadcast address, only listen to the client at ncip.

net: Improve the speed of netconsole

2012-09-24T18:55:43+00:00

Previously u-boot would initialize the network interface for every
network operation and then shut it down again.  This makes sense for
most operations where the network in not known to be needed soon after
the operation is complete.  In the case of netconsole, it will use the
network for every interaction with the shell or every printf.  This
means that the network is being reinitialized very often.  On many
devices, this intialization is very slow.

This patch checks for consecutive netconsole actions and leaves the
ethernet hardware initialized between them.  It will still behave the
same old way for all other network operations and any time another
network operation happens between netconsole operations.

net: bugfix: NetSetTimeout assumes CONFIG_SYS_HZ=1000

2012-09-24T18:17:24+00:00

NetSetTimeout sets incorrect value to timeDelta when CONFIG_SYS_HZ != 1000.

api: net: fix length check in eth_receive()

2012-09-24T18:17:24+00:00

If the requested length is too small to hold the received packet,
eth_receive() will return -1 and will leave the packet in the receive
buffers. Instead of returning an error in this case, we return the first
portion of the received packet and remove it from the receive buffers.

This fixes FreeBSD's ubldr. Without this patch it will just stop receiving
packets if the NIC receives more than PKTBUFSRX too large packets.
