2015-07-21dm: eth: Avoid blocking on packet receptionSimon Glass
Some devices can take a long time to work out whether they have a new packet or now. For example the ASIX USB Ethernet dongle can take 5 seconds to do this, since it waits until it gets a new packet on the wire before allowing the USB bulk read packet to be submitted. At present with driver mode the Ethernet receive code reads 32 packets. This can take a very long time if we must wait for all 32 packets. The old code (before driver model) worked by reading a single set of packets from the USB device, then processing all the packets with in. It would be nice to use the same behaviour with driver model. Add a flag to the receive method which indicates that the driver should try to find a packet if available, by consulting the hardware. When the flag is not set, it should just return any packet data it has already received. If there is none, it should return -EAGAIN so that the loop will terminate.

2015-04-18net: cosmetic: Change IPaddr_t to struct in_addrJoe Hershberger
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. Signed-off-by: Joe Hershberger <joe.hershberger@ni.com> Acked-by: Simon Glass <sjg@chromium.org>
2015-04-18sandbox: eth: Add support for using the 'lo' interfaceJoe Hershberger
The 'lo' interface on Linux doesn't support thinks like ARP or link-layer access like we use to talk to a normal network interface. A higher-level network API must be used to access localhost. As written, this interface is limited to not supporting ICMP since the API doesn't allow the socket to be opened for all IP traffic and be able to receive at the same time. UDP is far more useful to test with, so it was selected over ICMP. Ping won't work, but things like TFTP should work.

2015-04-18sandbox: eth: Add a bridge to a real network for sandboxJoe Hershberger
Implement a bridge between U-Boot's network stack and Linux's raw packet API allowing the sandbox to send and receive packets using the host machine's network interface. This raw Ethernet API requires elevated privileges. You can either run as root, or you can add the capability needed like so: sudo /sbin/setcap "CAP_NET_RAW+ep" /path/to/u-boot Signed-off-by: Joe Hershberger <joe.hershberger@ni.com> Reviewed-by: Simon Glass <sjg@chromium.org>
