The Mellanox/Nvidia UEFI driver is built from the same codebase as the
iPXE driver, and appears to contain the bug that was fixed in commit
c11734e ("[golan] Use ETH_HLEN for inline header size"). This results
in identical failures when using the SNP or NII interface (via
e.g. snponly.efi) to drive a Mellanox card while EAPoL is enabled.
Work around the underlying UEFI driver bug by padding transmit I/O
buffers to the minimum Ethernet frame length before passing them to
the underlying driver's transmit function.
This padding is not technically necessary, since almost all modern
hardware will insert transmit padding as necessary (and where the
hardware does not support doing so, the underlying UEFI driver is
responsible for adding any necessary padding). However, it is
guaranteed to be harmless (other than a miniscule performance impact):
the Ethernet specification requires zero padding up to the minimum
frame length for packets that are transmitted onto the wire, and so
the receiver will see the same packet whether or not we manually
insert this padding in software.
The additional padding causes the underlying Mellanox driver to avoid
its faulty code path, since it will never be asked to transmit a very
short packet.

Polling for TX completions is arguably redundant when there are no
transmissions currently in progress. Commit c6c7e78 ("[efi] Poll for
TX completions only when there is an outstanding TX buffer") switched
to setting the PXE_OPFLAGS_GET_TRANSMITTED_BUFFERS flag only when
there is an in-progress transmission awaiting completion, in order to
reduce reported TX errors and debug message noise from buggy NII
implementations that report spurious TX completions whenever the
transmit queue is empty.
Some other NII implementations (observed with the Realtek driver in a
Dell Latitude 3440) seem to have a bug in the transmit datapath
handling which results in the transmit ring freezing after sending a
few hundred packets under heavy load. The symptoms are that the
TPPoll register's NPQ bit remains set and the 256-entry transmit ring
contains a large number of uncompleted descriptors (with the OWN bit
set), the first two of which have identical data buffer addresses.
Though iPXE will submit at most one in-progress transmission via NII,
the Dell/Realtek driver seems to make a page-aligned copy of each
transmit data buffer and to report TX completions immediately without
waiting for the packet to actually be transmitted. These synthetic TX
completions continue even after the hardware transmit ring freezes.
Setting PXE_OPFLAGS_GET_TRANSMITTED_BUFFERS on every poll reduces the
probability of this Dell/Realtek driver bug being triggered by a
factor of around 500, which brings the failure rate down to the point
that it can sensibly be managed by external logic such as the
"--timeout" option for image downloads. Closing and reopening the
interface (via "ifclose"/"ifopen") will clear the error condition and
allow transmissions to resume.
Revert to setting PXE_OPFLAGS_GET_TRANSMITTED_BUFFERS on every poll,
and silently ignore situations in which the hardware reports a
completion when no transmission is in progress. This approximately
matches the behaviour of the SnpDxe driver, which will also generally
set PXE_OPFLAGS_GET_TRANSMITTED_BUFFERS on every poll.

Some UNDI drivers (such as the AMI UsbNetworkPkg currently in the
process of being upstreamed into EDK2) have a bug that will prevent
any packets from being received unless at least one attempt has been
made to disable some receive filters.
Work around these buggy drivers by attempting to disable receive
filters before enabling them. Ignore any errors, since we genuinely
do not care whether or not the disabling succeeds.

On some systems (observed with the Thunderbolt ports on a ThinkPad X1
Extreme Gen3 and a ThinkPad P53), if the IOMMU is enabled then the
system firmware will install an ExitBootServices notification event
that disables bus mastering on the Thunderbolt xHCI controller and all
PCI bridges, and destroys any extant IOMMU mappings. This leaves the
xHCI controller unable to perform any DMA operations.
As described in commit 236299b ("[xhci] Avoid DMA during shutdown if
firmware has disabled bus mastering"), any subsequent DMA operation
attempted by the xHCI controller will end up completing after the
operating system kernel has reenabled bus mastering, resulting in a
DMA operation to an area of memory that the hardware is no longer
permitted to access and, on Windows with the Driver Verifier enabled,
a STOP 0xE6 (DRIVER_VERIFIER_DMA_VIOLATION).
That commit avoids triggering any DMA attempts during the shutdown of
the xHCI controller itself. However, this is not a complete solution
since any attached and opened USB device (e.g. a USB NIC) may
asynchronously trigger DMA attempts that happen to occur after bus
mastering has been disabled but before we reset the xHCI controller.
Avoid this problem by installing our own ExitBootServices notification
event at TPL_NOTIFY, thereby causing it to be invoked before the
firmware's own ExitBootServices notification event that disables bus
mastering.
This unsurprisingly causes the shutdown hook itself to be invoked at
TPL_NOTIFY, which causes a fatal error when later code attempts to
raise the TPL to TPL_CALLBACK (which is a lower TPL). Work around
this problem by redefining the "internal" iPXE TPL to be variable, and
set this internal TPL to TPL_NOTIFY when the shutdown hook is invoked.
Avoid calling into an underlying SNP protocol instance from within our
shutdown hook at TPL_NOTIFY, since the underlying SNP driver may
attempt to raise the TPL to TPL_CALLBACK (which would cause a fatal
error). Failing to shut down the underlying SNP device is safe to do
since the underlying device must, in any case, have installed its own
ExitBootServices hook if any shutdown actions are required.

For a software UNDI, the addresses in PXE_CPB_TRANSMIT.FrameAddr and
PXE_CPB_RECEIVE.BufferAddr are host addresses, not bus addresses.
Remove the spurious (and no-op) use of virt_to_bus() and replace with
a cast via intptr_t.

The UEFI specification defines PXE_CPB_TRANSMIT.DataLen as excluding
the length of the media header. iPXE currently fills in DataLen as
the whole frame length (including the media header), along with
placing the media header length separately in MediaheaderLen. On some
UNDI implementations (observed using a VMware ESXi 7.0b virtual
machine), this causes transmitted packets to include 14 bytes of
trailing garbage.
Match the behaviour of the EDK2 SnpDxe driver, which fills in DataLen
as the whole frame length (including the media header) and leaves
MediaheaderLen as zero. This behaviour also violates the UEFI
specification, but is likely to work in practice since EDK2 is the
reference implementation.

We currently use a heuristic to determine whether or not to request
cable detection in PXE_OPCODE_INITIALIZE, based on the need to work
around a known Emulex driver bug (see commit c0b61ba "[efi] Work
around bugs in Emulex NII driver") and the need to accommodate links
that are legitimately slow to come up (see commit 6324227 "[efi] Skip
cable detection at initialisation where possible").
This heuristic appears to fail with newer Emulex drivers. Attempt to
support all known drivers (past and present) by first attempting
initialisation with cable detection, then falling back to attempting
initialisation without cable detection.

Some drivers are known to call the optional Map_Mem() callback without
first checking that the callback exists. Provide a usable basic
implementation of Map_Mem() along with the other callbacks that become
mandatory if Map_Mem() is provided.
Note that in theory the PCI I/O protocol is allowed to require
multiple calls to Map(), with each call handling only a subset of the
overall mapped range. However, the reference implementation in EDK2
assumes that a single Map() will always suffice, so we can probably
make the same simplifying assumption here.
Tested with the Intel E3522X2.EFI driver (which, incidentally, fails
to cleanly remove one of its mappings).

The SnpDxe driver raises the task priority level to TPL_CALLBACK when
calling the UNDI entry point. This does not appear to be a documented
requirement, but we should probably match the behaviour of SnpDxe to
minimise surprises to third party code.

The UEFI specification has an implicit and demonstrably incorrect
requirement (in the Mem_IO() calling convention) that any UNDI network
device has at most one memory BAR and one I/O BAR.
Some UEFI platforms have been observed to report the existence of
non-existent additional I/O BARs, causing iPXE to select the wrong
BAR. This problem does not affect the SnpDxe driver, since that
driver will always choose the lowest numbered existent BAR of each
type.
Adjust iPXE's behaviour to match that of SnpDxe, i.e. to always select
the lowest numbered BAR(s).

We currently request cable detection in PXE_OPCODE_INITIALIZE to work
around buggy Emulex drivers (see commit c0b61ba ("[efi] Work around
bugs in Emulex NII driver")).
This causes problems with some other NII drivers (e.g. Mellanox),
which may time out if the underlying link is intrinsically slow to
come up.
Attempt to work around both problems simultaneously by requesting
cable detection only if the underlying NII driver does not support
link status reporting via PXE_OPCODE_GET_STATUS. (This is based on a
potentially incorrect assumption that the buggy Emulex drivers do not
claim to report link status via PXE_OPCODE_GET_STATUS.)

Some UEFI network drivers provide a software UNDI interface which is
exposed via the Network Interface Identifier Protocol (NII), rather
than providing a Simple Network Protocol (SNP).
The UEFI platform firmware will usually include the SnpDxe driver,
which attaches to NII and provides an SNP interface. The SNP
interface is usually provided on the same handle as the underlying NII
device. This causes problems for our EFI driver model: when
efi_driver_connect() detaches existing drivers from the handle it will
cause the SNP interface to be uninstalled, and so our SNP driver will
not be able to attach to the handle. The platform firmware will
eventually reattach the SnpDxe driver and may attach us to the SNP
handle, but we have no way to prevent other drivers from attaching
first.
Fix by providing a driver which can attach directly to the NII
protocol, using the software UNDI interface to drive the network
device.
