[ofw][patch] fixes client id insertion

On the second thought, this is correct assumption because of the way how
send_buf_t is defined. So let me answer two questions again

 

1.	The code checks that the content is no greater than dhcp header
+ 312 bytes (options). That is the space reserved for dhcp request in
send_buf_t. The actual size is less and may vary, so if we change the
content of dhcp options we must update lengths. Instead of calculating
the actual size I fill the maximum size. This is ok because the last
option is indicated by 0xff, which lets the receiver to ignore extra
bytes.
2.	The size of ip header in this case is constant, see send_buf_t
definition.

 

Retgards,

Anatoly.

Hi Tzahi,

 

Usually udp checksum is not calculated.

The existing code checks that the dhcp packet is not greater than
sizeof(dhcp_pkt_t), but you're right about the IP header size, we need
to fix it because this is a common assumption, see existing code few
lines below: p_desc->local_ds[1].length = ...

 

Thanks,

Anatoly.

Hi Anatoly,

 

I have looked at this patch, and there are some issues that I don't

quite understand:

 

* what about UDP checksum? It doesn't seem as you are calculating it.

 

* In this patch you are doing an assumption that the packet size will

always be the size of ip + the size of UDP + the size of dhcp 

"p_desc->p_buf->ip.hdr.length = cl_ntoh16( sizeof(ip_hdr_t) +

sizeof(udp_hdr_t) + sizeof(dhcp_pkt_t) );"

 

This assumes that the size is always constant. This brings two questions

as far as I understand:

1) If the size is always constant, why do we have to touch this in any

case?

2) at least the size of the ip header is not constant. So you should

probably replace sizeof(ip_hdr_t) with IP_HEADER_LENGTH(IpHdr);

 

Where #define IP_HEADER_LENGTH(pIpHdr)   \

        ( (ULONG)((pIpHdr->iph_verlen & 0x0F) << 2) )

 

 

Thanks

Tzachi
