b7fcfe8ece Added net device TX queue; this will be needed to support the PXE UNDI API
(which will need us to wait for TX completions).

Added debug autocolourisation to netdevice.c

0c03bb5a9a Make open() and close() an official part of the netdevice API.
Call netdevice's poll() and transmit() methods only when device is open.

bdf79ec8dc Use hotplug support to notify persistent reference holders when a
net_device is unregistered.

a646e38f03 Use stdlib.h for malloc() instead of malloc.h. 2006-12-19 23:42:46 +00:00

88e38fa148 We don't actually have a stdio.h header file. Our printf() functions are
defined in vsprintf.h.  (This may change, since vsprintf.h is a
non-standard name, but for now it's the one to use.)

There should be no need to include vsprintf.h just for DBG() statements,
since include/compiler.h forces it in for a debug build anyway.

a3d508b648 Clarified packet ownership transfer between a few functions.
Added a large number of missing calls to free_pkb().  In the case of UDP,
no received packets were ever freed, which lead to memory exhaustion
remarkably quickly once pxelinux started up.

In general, any function with _rx() in its name which accepts a pk_buff
*must* either call free_pkb() or pass the pkb to another _rx() function
(e.g. the next layer up the stack).  Since the UDP (and TCP) layers don't
pass packet buffers up to the higher-layer protocols (the
"applications"), they must free the packet buffer after calling the
application's newdata() method.

e74e20cb55 Remove the static IP address hack from netdevice.c, and change the
default test to the DHCP test.

3c8aafa209 Simplify RX data path.
Kill off the static single net device and move to proper dynamic
registration (which we need with the new device model).

Break the (flawed) assumption that all network-layer protocols can use
ARP; such network-layer protocols (i.e. IPv4) must now register as an ARP
protocol using ARP_NET_PROTOCOL() and provide a single method for checking
the existence of a local network-layer address.

bac97eb979 Change semantics of network API so that packet-absorbing calls *always*
take ownership of the packet, rather than doing so only if they return
success.  This breaks semantic compatibility with Linux's
hard_start_xmit() method, but means that we don't have to worry so much
about error cases.

Split mechanism of processing received packets (net_rx_process()) out
from policy (net_step()), preparatory to putting net_step() in a separate
object.

129c6c3968 Network layer now works as a proof of concept 2006-04-28 14:13:50 +00:00

fdc2ee79db Network API now allows for multiple network devices (although the
implementation allows for only one, and does so without compromising on
the efficiency of static allocation).

Link-layer protocols are cleanly separated from the device drivers.

Network-layer protocols are cleanly separated from individual network
devices.

Link-layer and network-layer protocols are cleanly separated from each
other.
