Subject: [PATCH] tftp: roll over block counter to prevent timeouts with data
80913e
 packets
80913e
80913e
The block number is a 16-bit counter which only allows to fetch
80913e
files no bigger than 65535 * blksize. To avoid this limit, the
80913e
counter is rolled over. This behavior isn't defined in RFC 1350
80913e
but is handled by many TFTP servers and it's what GRUB was doing
80913e
before implicitly due an overflow.
80913e
80913e
Fixing that bug led to TFTP timeouts, since GRUB wasn't acking
80913e
data packets anymore for files with size bigger than the maximum
80913e
mentioned above. Restore the old behavior to prevent this issue.
