Subject: [PATCH] tftp: roll over block counter to prevent timeouts with data
44b48a
 packets
44b48a
44b48a
The block number is a 16-bit counter which only allows to fetch
44b48a
files no bigger than 65535 * blksize. To avoid this limit, the
44b48a
counter is rolled over. This behavior isn't defined in RFC 1350
44b48a
but is handled by many TFTP servers and it's what GRUB was doing
44b48a
before implicitly due an overflow.
44b48a
44b48a
Fixing that bug led to TFTP timeouts, since GRUB wasn't acking
44b48a
data packets anymore for files with size bigger than the maximum
44b48a
mentioned above. Restore the old behavior to prevent this issue.
