[U-Boot] [PATCH] NetLoop initialization bug



Upon u-boot's start up the first ping command causes a failure of the
consequent TFTP command. It happens in the recently added mechanism of
the NetLoop initialization where initialization of global network parameters is
separated in the NetInitLoop routine which is called per env_id change.
Thus, ping request will initialize the network parameters necessary for ping
operation only, afterwards the env_changed_id will be set to the env_id
that will prevent all following initialization requests from other protocols.
The problem is that the initialized by ping subset of network parameters is not
sufficient for other protocols and particularly for TFTP
which requires the NetServerIp also.

[U-Boot] [PATCH] NetLoop initialization bug

[Michael Zaidman]

Hi Heiko,

The patch "netloop: speed up NetLoop" you delivered
into the u-boot-2009.03 introduced bug I have described
below a few days ago. Could you please take a look at
the proposed fix?

Thanks,
Michael

Thanks for catching this.
Your patch doesn;t apply, I get "malformed patch". Before
sending a new one, please have a look at my comments:

The following 2 vars are just used, if CONFIG_CMD_CDP
is used, can we do a "#if defined" around it?

Has this to do something with the bugfix?

We probably could, but we then had to do this in several places, and
the code would become less readable, I think.

These two variables have been initialized in original code for all
protocols supported by u-boot. As I can see, at least the NetOurVLAN
is used by most of them. This was the reason for keeping them in place.

Generally, for the same reason the DHCP does - "Start with a clean state..."
On the other hand you are right - we do not need to clear the NetOurIP
address for BOOTP, DHCP and RARP because the current implementation
does not check it. So it has been removed in my new patch below.

[U-Boot] [PATCH] NetLoop initialization bug

[Detlev Zundel]

Hi Michael,

> Please see my comments and updated patch below.

As a side note, please send your patch as an inline attachment also
adding your signed-off-by line.  It's probably easiest to actually use
git to apply your changes to a branch and use "git-format-patch" to
create the patch.

Please also provide more dsecriptive commit text explaining what the
patch does.

The patch in your mail does still not apply.  Neither git-am (after
fixing the patch with a valid e-mail) nor patch can do anything with it.

Thanks
  Detlev

Hi Detlev,

Please try this one. I used the git-format-patch for its creation.

Sorry for the previous mail,
I have to enable the git operation via gmail on my workstation.

Meanwhile I created the patch again by diff.

Thanks,

The patch fixes the bug of partial initialization of global network
parameters.

Upon u-boot's start up the first ping command causes a failure of the
consequent TFTP transfers. It happens in the recently added mechanism of
NetLoop initialization where initialization of global network parameters is
separated in the NetInitLoop routine which is called per env_id change.
Thus, ping request will initialize the network parameters necessary
for ping operation only, afterwards the env_changed_id will be set
to the env_id that will prevent all following initialization requests
from other protocols.
The problem is that the initialized by ping subset of network parameters
is not sufficient for other protocols and particularly for TFTP
which requires the NetServerIp also.

Hi Michael,

What do you mean by this?  Usually you only need a mailer which is
capable to attach things inline.  Even better - if you have a direct
access to an mta or an smtp server, use git-send-email after
git-format-patch.

> Meanwhile I created the patch again by diff.

Well this is really more work for the people importing the patches, so
if at all possible, get tghe setup working with the automatically
generated patches.

Please don't elide your e-mail address here.  The consent is that we use
real e-mail addresses in the signed-off-by lines (as you also did in
your previous post).  One negative impact for example is that our
statistic scripts will fail for such entries.

Apart from that you have to nudge Ben or Heiko as to the real content.
I only wanted to help get the formalities straight ;)

Cheers

Ok, I tried the msmtp to access my www.gmail.com account with no
success nether directly (is prohibited by corporate policy) nor via
corporate email relay (the gmail smtp server uses non standard port
which requires reflection in the email relay configuration and no one
is willing to do it for me :-).

Dear Heiko,

 Could you please do an additional try to apply the patch produced
with git-format-patch. I hope it is OK now.

I tried to apply it but it didn't work, but this isn't my usual 
computer.  I'll try on my other machine tonight.  BTW - what mailer are 
you using?

I use Thunderbird via IMAP.  IMAP is nice because the messages all stay 
on the server so if you have a few different machines and OSs you don't 
have to worry about keeping things coherent.  Sending patches through 
TBird usually works, as long as you cut&paste into a 'preformat' block 
(available from a pull-down menu).  But it's not bulletproof.  The only 
sure way to send a patch without worrying about line wrapping etc. is to 
use git-send-email.  You can find instructions online on how to do this 
with gmail, IIRC you need to have some sendmail-like relay running on 
your Linux box.  I don't remember the details and am not at that 
computer right now.

Ben

Thanks for the info. I played today with the Evolution which also
keeps mails on the server and has 'preformated' option trying to
compose correct inline patch attachment but with no success.

[U-Boot] [PATCH] NetLoop initialization bug

[Michael Zaidman]

The patch fixes the bug of partial initialization of global network
parameters.

Upon u-boot's start up the first ping command causes a failure of the
consequent TFTP command. It happens in the recently added mechanism of
the NetLoop initialization where initialization of global network
parameters is separated in the NetInitLoop routine which is called per
env_id change. Thus, ping request will initialize the network parameters
necessary for ping operation only, afterwards the env_changed_id will be
set to the env_id that will prevent all following initialization requests
from other protocols.
The problem is that the initialized by ping subset of network parameters
is not sufficient for other protocols and particularly for TFTP which
requires the NetServerIp also.
