2014-08-21net: More BOOTP retry timeout improvementsThierry Reding
It's not unusual for DHCP servers to take a couple hundred milliseconds to respond to DHCP discover messages. One possible reason for the delay can be that the server checks (typically using an ARP request) that the IP it's about to hand out isn't in use yet. To make matters worse, some servers may also queue up requests and process them sequentially, which can cause excessively long delays if clients retry too fast. Commit f59be6e850b3 ("net: BOOTP retry timeout improvements") shortened the retry timeouts significantly, but the BOOTP/DHCP implementation in U-Boot doesn't handle that well because it will ignore incoming replies to earlier requests. In one particular setup this increases the time it takes to obtain a DHCP lease from 630 ms to 8313 ms. This commit attempts to fix this in two ways. First it increases the initial retry timeout from 10 ms to 250 ms to give DHCP servers some more time to respond. At the same time a cache of outstanding DHCP request IDs is kept so that the implementation will know to continue transactions even after a retransmission of the DISCOVER message. The maximum retry timeout is also increased from 1 second to 2 seconds. An ID cache of size 4 will keep DHCP requests around for 8 seconds (once the maximum retry timeout has been reached) before dropping them. This should give servers plenty of time to respond. If it ever turns out that this isn't enough, the size of the cache can easily be increased. With this commit the DHCP lease on the above-mentioned setup still takes longer (1230 ms) than originally, but that's an acceptable compromise to improve DHCP lease acquisition time for a broader range of setups. To make it easier to benchmark DHCP in the future, this commit also adds the time it took to obtain a lease to the final "DHCP client bound to address x.x.x.x" message.

2014-08-09net: BOOTP retry timeout improvementsStephen Warren
Currently, the BOOTP code sends out its initial request as soon as the Ethernet driver indicates "link up". If this packet is lost or not replied to for some reason, the code waits for a 1s timeout before retrying. For some reason, such early packets are often lost on my system, so this causes an annoying delay. To optimize this, modify the BOOTP code to have very short timeouts for the first packet transmitted, but gradually increase the timeout each time a timeout occurs. This way, if the first packet is lost, the second packet is transmitted quite quickly and hence the overall delay is low. However, if there's still no response, we don't keep spewing out packets at an insane speed. It's arguably more correct to try and find out why the first packet is lost. However, it seems to disappear inside my Ethenet chip; the TX chip indicates no error during TX (not that it has much in the way of reporting...), yet wireshark on the RX side doesn't see any packet. FWIW, I'm using an ASIX USB Ethernet adapter. Perhaps "link up" is reported too early or based on the wrong condition in HW, and we should add some fixed extra delay into the driver. However, this would slow down every link up event even if it ends up not being needed in some cases. Having BOOTP retry quickly applies the fix/WAR to every possible Ethernet device, and is quite simple to implement, so seems a better solution.

2014-05-12net: rename and refactor eth_rand_ethaddr() functionMasahiro Yamada
Some functions in include/net.h are ported from include/linux/etherdevice.h of Linux Kernel. For ex. is_zero_ether_addr() is_multicast_ether_addr() is_broadcast_ether_addr() is_valid_ether_addr(); So, we should use the same function name as that of Linux Kernel, eth_rand_addr(), for consistency. Besides, eth_rand_addr() has been implemented as an inline function. So it should not be surrounded by #ifdef CONFIG_RANDOM_MACADDR.

2014-02-19kbuild: use Linux Kernel build scriptsMasahiro Yamada
Now we are ready to switch over to real Kbuild. This commit disables temporary scripts: scripts/{Makefile.build.tmp, Makefile.host.tmp} and enables real Kbuild scripts: scripts/{Makefile.build,Makefile.host,Makefile.lib}. This switch is triggered by the line in scripts/Kbuild.include -build := -f $(if $(KBUILD_SRC),$(srctree)/)scripts/Makefile.build.tmp obj +build := -f $(if $(KBUILD_SRC),$(srctree)/)scripts/Makefile.build obj We need to adjust some build scripts for U-Boot. But smaller amount of modification is preferable. Additionally, we need to fix compiler flags which are locally added or removed. In Kbuild, it is not allowed to change CFLAGS locally. Instead, ccflags-y, asflags-y, cppflags-y, CFLAGS_$(basetarget).o, CFLAGS_REMOVE_$(basetarget).o are prepared for that purpose.

This patch tackles the time out problem which leads to break the boot process, when loading file over nfs. The patch does two things. First of all, we just ignore messages that arrive with a rpc_id smaller then the client id. We just interpret this messages as answers to formaly timed out messages. Second, when a time out occurs we double the time to wait, so that we do not stress the server resending the last message.

2012-09-24net: Improve the speed of netconsoleJoe Hershberger
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.

2012-05-23net: Work-around for brain-damaged Cisco equipment with arp-proxyJoe Hershberger
Cisco's arp-proxy feature fails to ignore the link-local address range This means that a link-local device on a network with this Cisco equipment will reply to ARP requests for our device (in addition to our reply). If we happen to reply first, the requester's ARP table will be populated with our MAC address, and one packet will be sent to us... shortly following this, the requester will get an ARP reply from the Cisco equipment telling the requester to send packets their way instead of to our device from now on. This work-around detects this link-local condition and will delay replying to the ARP request for 5ms so that the first packet is sent to the Cisco equipment and all following packets are sent to our device.
