[aoe] Use an AoE config query to identify the target MAC address

2008-11-19T21:42:33+00:00

The AoE spec does not specify that the source MAC address of a received packet actually matches the MAC address of the AoE target. In principle an AoE server can respond to an AoE request on any interface available to it, which may not be an address configured to accept AoE requests. This issue is resolved by implementing AoE device discovery. The purpose of AoE discovery is to find out which addresses an AoE target can use for requests. An AoE configuration command is sent when the AoE attach is attempted. The AoE target must respond to that configuration query from an interface that can accept requests. Based on a patch from Ryan Thomas

[aoe] Start retry timer before potential temporary transmission failure

2008-11-08T04:36:42+00:00

The retry timer needs to be running as soon as we know that we are trying to transmit a command. If transmission fails because of a temporary error condition, then the timer will allow us to retry the transmission later.

Add FEATURE() macro, plus code to display features at startup time,

and generate DHCP options to indicate features to DHCP server (and to PXE NBPs).

pkbuff->iobuf changeover

Achieved via Perl using: perl -pi -e 's/pk_buff/io_buffer/g; s/Packet buffer/I\/O buffer/ig; ' \ -e 's/pkbuff\.h/iobuf.h/g; s/pkb_/iob_/g; s/_pkb/_iob/g; ' \ -e 's/pkb/iobuf/g; s/PKB/IOB/g;'

Use stdio.h instead of vsprintf.h

Gave asynchronous operations approximate POSIX signal semantics. This

2007-01-15T08:49:10+00:00

will enable us to cascade async operations, which is necessary in order to properly support DNS. (For example, an HTTP request may have to redirect to a new location and will have to perform a new DNS lookup, so we can't just rely on doing the name lookup at the time of parsing the initial URL). Anything other than HTTP is probably broken right now; I'll fix the others up asap.
