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: 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

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.

net: Make sure the ethaddr is updated in net_init()

2012-07-24T19:09:40+00:00

NetConsole may call NetSendUDPPacket before NetLoop is called.  This
will cause the source MAC address (NetOurEther) to be wrong.  Instead
of only changing it in NetLoop, move it to NetLoopInit so that it is
also updated when net_init() is called (especially by nc_start()).
