[job] Report progress of downloader jobs via job_progress()

2009-08-31T18:33:55+00:00

[job] Add missing job_progress() interface method

2009-08-31T18:33:05+00:00

[infiniband] Add support for SRP over Infiniband

2009-08-10T21:27:33+00:00

SRP is the SCSI RDMA Protocol. It allows for a method of SAN booting whereby the target is responsible for reading and writing data using Remote DMA directly to the initiator's memory. The software initiator merely sends and receives SCSI commands; it never has to touch the actual data.

[process] Make it safe to call process_add() multiple times

2009-08-10T18:27:24+00:00

[debug] Use a delimiter to break up DBG_HD() output

2009-07-17T21:58:44+00:00

Reading sixteen columns of hex digits can be difficult; include a "-" character to split the output into two groups of eight columns.

[xfer] Always nullify interface while sending close() message

2009-07-06T15:16:59+00:00

Objects typically call xfer_close() as part of their response to a close() message. If the initiating object has already nullified the xfer interface then this isn't a problem, but it can lead to unexpected behaviour when the initiating object is aiming to reuse the connection and so does not nullify the interface. Fix by always temporarily nullifying the interface during xfer_close() (as was already being done by xfer_vreopen() in order to work around this specific problem).

[pxe] Add startpxe and stoppxe commands

2009-06-28T19:50:23+00:00

These commands can be used to activate or deactivate the PXE API (on a specifiable network interface). This is currently of limited use, since most image formats will call shutdown() before booting the image, meaning that the underlying net device gets shut down during remove_devices() anyway.

[settings] Fix setting_cmp() to handle nameless settings

2009-06-13T11:04:08+00:00

setting_cmp() compares by option tag and then by name. Empty names will always match, which gives us a false positive. Fix by explicitly checking for empty names. Modified-by: Michael Brown Signed-off-by: Michael Brown

[script] Allow for DOS-style line endings in scripts

2009-06-03T09:13:29+00:00

Windows text editors such as Notepad tend to use CRLF line endings, which breaks gPXE's signature detection for script images. Since scripts are usually very small, they end up falling back to being detected as valid PXE executable images (since there are no signature checks for PXE executables). Executing text files as x86 machine code tends not to work well. Fix by allowing for any isspace() character to terminate the "#!gpxe" signature, and by ensuring that CR characters get stripped during command line parsing. Suggested-by: Shao Miller

[settings] Allow for arbitrarily-named settings

2009-05-26T10:05:58+00:00

This provides a mechanism for using arbitrarily-named variables within gPXE, using the existing syntax for settings.
