Subject: [PATCH] tftp: roll over block counter to prevent timeouts with data
2bd82f
 packets
2bd82f
2bd82f
The block number is a 16-bit counter which only allows to fetch
2bd82f
files no bigger than 65535 * blksize. To avoid this limit, the
2bd82f
counter is rolled over. This behavior isn't defined in RFC 1350
2bd82f
but is handled by many TFTP servers and it's what GRUB was doing
2bd82f
before implicitly due an overflow.
2bd82f
2bd82f
Fixing that bug led to TFTP timeouts, since GRUB wasn't acking
2bd82f
data packets anymore for files with size bigger than the maximum
2bd82f
mentioned above. Restore the old behavior to prevent this issue.
