Subject: [PATCH] tftp: roll over block counter to prevent timeouts with data
c87ad5
 packets
c87ad5
c87ad5
The block number is a 16-bit counter which only allows to fetch
c87ad5
files no bigger than 65535 * blksize. To avoid this limit, the
c87ad5
counter is rolled over. This behavior isn't defined in RFC 1350
c87ad5
but is handled by many TFTP servers and it's what GRUB was doing
c87ad5
before implicitly due an overflow.
c87ad5
c87ad5
Fixing that bug led to TFTP timeouts, since GRUB wasn't acking
c87ad5
data packets anymore for files with size bigger than the maximum
c87ad5
mentioned above. Restore the old behavior to prevent this issue.
