Typedef Documentation

typedef EFI_STATUS(EFIAPI * EFI_IP4_CANCEL)(IN EFI_IP4_PROTOCOL *This, IN EFI_IP4_COMPLETION_TOKEN *Token)

Abort an asynchronous transmit or receive request.

The Cancel() function is used to abort a pending transmit or receive request. If the token is in the transmit or receive request queues, after calling this function, Token->Status will be set to EFI_ABORTED and then Token->Event will be signaled. If the token is not in one of the queues, which usually means the asynchronous operation has completed, this function will not signal the token and EFI_NOT_FOUND is returned.

Parameters:
This The pointer to the EFI_IP4_PROTOCOL instance.
Token The pointer to a token that has been issued by EFI_IP4_PROTOCOL.Transmit() or EFI_IP4_PROTOCOL.Receive(). If NULL, all pending tokens are aborted. Type EFI_IP4_COMPLETION_TOKEN is defined in EFI_IP4_PROTOCOL.Transmit().
Return values:
EFI_SUCCESS The asynchronous I/O request was aborted and Token->Event was signaled. When Token is NULL, all pending requests were aborted and their events were signaled.
EFI_INVALID_PARAMETER This is NULL.
EFI_NOT_STARTED This instance has not been started.
EFI_NO_MAPPING When using the default address, configuration (DHCP, BOOTP, RARP, etc.) is not finished yet.
EFI_NOT_FOUND When Token is not NULL, the asynchronous I/O request was not found in the transmit or receive queue. It has either completed or was not issued by Transmit() and Receive().

typedef EFI_STATUS(EFIAPI * EFI_IP4_CONFIGURE)(IN EFI_IP4_PROTOCOL *This, IN EFI_IP4_CONFIG_DATA *IpConfigData)

Assigns an IPv4 address and subnet mask to this EFI IPv4 Protocol driver instance.

The Configure() function is used to set, change, or reset the operational parameters and filter settings for this EFI IPv4 Protocol instance. Until these parameters have been set, no network traffic can be sent or received by this instance. Once the parameters have been reset (by calling this function with IpConfigData set to NULL), no more traffic can be sent or received until these parameters have been set again. Each EFI IPv4 Protocol instance can be started and stopped independently of each other by enabling or disabling their receive filter settings with the Configure() function.

When IpConfigData.UseDefaultAddress is set to FALSE, the new station address will be appended as an alias address into the addresses list in the EFI IPv4 Protocol driver. While set to TRUE, Configure() will trigger the EFI_IP4_CONFIG_PROTOCOL to retrieve the default IPv4 address if it is not available yet. Clients could frequently call GetModeData() to check the status to ensure that the default IPv4 address is ready.

If operational parameters are reset or changed, any pending transmit and receive requests will be cancelled. Their completion token status will be set to EFI_ABORTED and their events will be signaled.

Parameters:
This The pointer to the EFI_IP4_PROTOCOL instance.
IpConfigData The pointer to the EFI IPv4 Protocol configuration data structure.
Return values:
EFI_SUCCESS The driver instance was successfully opened.
EFI_NO_MAPPING When using the default address, configuration (DHCP, BOOTP, RARP, etc.) is not finished yet.
EFI_INVALID_PARAMETER One or more of the following conditions is TRUE: This is NULL. IpConfigData.StationAddress is not a unicast IPv4 address. IpConfigData.SubnetMask is not a valid IPv4 subnet
EFI_UNSUPPORTED One or more of the following conditions is TRUE: A configuration protocol (DHCP, BOOTP, RARP, etc.) could not be located when clients choose to use the default IPv4 address. This EFI IPv4 Protocol implementation does not support this requested filter or timeout setting.
EFI_OUT_OF_RESOURCES The EFI IPv4 Protocol driver instance data could not be allocated.
EFI_ALREADY_STARTED The interface is already open and must be stopped before the IPv4 address or subnet mask can be changed. The interface must also be stopped when switching to/from raw packet mode.
EFI_DEVICE_ERROR An unexpected system or network error occurred. The EFI IPv4 Protocol driver instance is not opened.

typedef EFI_STATUS(EFIAPI * EFI_IP4_GET_MODE_DATA)(IN CONST EFI_IP4_PROTOCOL *This, OUT EFI_IP4_MODE_DATA *Ip4ModeData, OUT EFI_MANAGED_NETWORK_CONFIG_DATA *MnpConfigData, OUT EFI_SIMPLE_NETWORK_MODE *SnpModeData)

Gets the current operational settings for this instance of the EFI IPv4 Protocol driver.

The GetModeData() function returns the current operational mode data for this driver instance. The data fields in EFI_IP4_MODE_DATA are read only. This function is used optionally to retrieve the operational mode data of underlying networks or drivers.

Parameters:
This The pointer to the EFI_IP4_PROTOCOL instance.
Ip4ModeData The pointer to the EFI IPv4 Protocol mode data structure.
MnpConfigData The pointer to the managed network configuration data structure.
SnpModeData The pointer to the simple network mode data structure.
Return values:
EFI_SUCCESS The operation completed successfully.
EFI_INVALID_PARAMETER This is NULL.
EFI_OUT_OF_RESOURCES The required mode data could not be allocated.

typedef EFI_STATUS(EFIAPI * EFI_IP4_GROUPS)(IN EFI_IP4_PROTOCOL *This, IN BOOLEAN JoinFlag, IN EFI_IPv4_ADDRESS *GroupAddress)

Joins and leaves multicast groups.

The Groups() function is used to join and leave multicast group sessions. Joining a group will enable reception of matching multicast packets. Leaving a group will disable the multicast packet reception.

If JoinFlag is FALSE and GroupAddress is NULL, all joined groups will be left.

Parameters:
This The pointer to the EFI_IP4_PROTOCOL instance.
JoinFlag Set to TRUE to join the multicast group session and FALSE to leave.
GroupAddress The pointer to the IPv4 multicast address.
Return values:
EFI_SUCCESS The operation completed successfully.
EFI_INVALID_PARAMETER One or more of the following is TRUE:
  • This is NULL.
  • JoinFlag is TRUE and GroupAddress is NULL.
  • GroupAddress is not NULL and *GroupAddress is not a multicast IPv4 address.
EFI_NOT_STARTED This instance has not been started.
EFI_NO_MAPPING When using the default address, configuration (DHCP, BOOTP, RARP, etc.) is not finished yet.
EFI_OUT_OF_RESOURCES System resources could not be allocated.
EFI_UNSUPPORTED This EFI IPv4 Protocol implementation does not support multicast groups.
EFI_ALREADY_STARTED The group address is already in the group table (when JoinFlag is TRUE).
EFI_NOT_FOUND The group address is not in the group table (when JoinFlag is FALSE).
EFI_DEVICE_ERROR An unexpected system or network error occurred.

typedef EFI_STATUS(EFIAPI * EFI_IP4_POLL)(IN EFI_IP4_PROTOCOL *This)

Polls for incoming data packets and processes outgoing data packets.

The Poll() function polls for incoming data packets and processes outgoing data packets. Network drivers and applications can call the EFI_IP4_PROTOCOL.Poll() function to increase the rate that data packets are moved between the communications device and the transmit and receive queues.

In some systems the periodic timer event may not poll the underlying communications device fast enough to transmit and/or receive all data packets without missing incoming packets or dropping outgoing packets. Drivers and applications that are experiencing packet loss should try calling the EFI_IP4_PROTOCOL.Poll() function more often.

Parameters:
This The pointer to the EFI_IP4_PROTOCOL instance.
Return values:
EFI_SUCCESS Incoming or outgoing data was processed.
EFI_NOT_STARTED This EFI IPv4 Protocol instance has not been started.
EFI_NO_MAPPING When using the default address, configuration (DHCP, BOOTP, RARP, etc.) is not finished yet.
EFI_INVALID_PARAMETER This is NULL.
EFI_DEVICE_ERROR An unexpected system or network error occurred.
EFI_NOT_READY No incoming or outgoing data is processed.
EFI_TIMEOUT Data was dropped out of the transmit and/or receive queue. Consider increasing the polling rate.

typedef EFI_STATUS(EFIAPI * EFI_IP4_RECEIVE)(IN EFI_IP4_PROTOCOL *This, IN EFI_IP4_COMPLETION_TOKEN *Token)

Places a receiving request into the receiving queue.

The Receive() function places a completion token into the receive packet queue. This function is always asynchronous.

The Token.Event field in the completion token must be filled in by the caller and cannot be NULL. When the receive operation completes, the EFI IPv4 Protocol driver updates the Token.Status and Token.Packet.RxData fields and the Token.Event is signaled.

Parameters:
This The pointer to the EFI_IP4_PROTOCOL instance.
Token The pointer to a token that is associated with the receive data descriptor.
Return values:
EFI_SUCCESS The receive completion token was cached.
EFI_NOT_STARTED This EFI IPv4 Protocol instance has not been started.
EFI_NO_MAPPING When using the default address, configuration (DHCP, BOOTP, RARP, etc.) is not finished yet.
EFI_INVALID_PARAMETER One or more of the following conditions is TRUE:
EFI_OUT_OF_RESOURCES The receive completion token could not be queued due to a lack of system resources (usually memory).
EFI_DEVICE_ERROR An unexpected system or network error occurred. The EFI IPv4 Protocol instance has been reset to startup defaults.
EFI_ACCESS_DENIED The receive completion token with the same Token.Event was already in the receive queue.
EFI_NOT_READY The receive request could not be queued because the receive queue is full.
EFI_ICMP_ERROR An ICMP error packet was received.

typedef EFI_STATUS(EFIAPI * EFI_IP4_ROUTES)(IN EFI_IP4_PROTOCOL *This, IN BOOLEAN DeleteRoute, IN EFI_IPv4_ADDRESS *SubnetAddress, IN EFI_IPv4_ADDRESS *SubnetMask, IN EFI_IPv4_ADDRESS *GatewayAddress)

Adds and deletes routing table entries.

The Routes() function adds a route to or deletes a route from the routing table.

Routes are determined by comparing the SubnetAddress with the destination IPv4 address arithmetically AND-ed with the SubnetMask. The gateway address must be on the same subnet as the configured station address.

The default route is added with SubnetAddress and SubnetMask both set to 0.0.0.0. The default route matches all destination IPv4 addresses that do not match any other routes.

A GatewayAddress that is zero is a nonroute. Packets are sent to the destination IP address if it can be found in the ARP cache or on the local subnet. One automatic nonroute entry will be inserted into the routing table for outgoing packets that are addressed to a local subnet (gateway address of 0.0.0.0).

Each EFI IPv4 Protocol instance has its own independent routing table. Those EFI IPv4 Protocol instances that use the default IPv4 address will also have copies of the routing table that was provided by the EFI_IP4_CONFIG_PROTOCOL, and these copies will be updated whenever the EIF IPv4 Protocol driver reconfigures its instances. As a result, client modification to the routing table will be lost.

Parameters:
This The pointer to the EFI_IP4_PROTOCOL instance.
DeleteRoute Set to TRUE to delete this route from the routing table. Set to FALSE to add this route to the routing table. SubnetAddress and SubnetMask are used as the key to each route entry.
SubnetAddress The address of the subnet that needs to be routed.
SubnetMask The subnet mask of SubnetAddress.
GatewayAddress The unicast gateway IPv4 address for this route.
Return values:
EFI_SUCCESS The operation completed successfully.
EFI_NOT_STARTED The driver instance has not been started.
EFI_NO_MAPPING When using the default address, configuration (DHCP, BOOTP, RARP, etc.) is not finished yet.
EFI_INVALID_PARAMETER One or more of the following conditions is TRUE:
  • This is NULL.
  • SubnetAddress is NULL.
  • SubnetMask is NULL.
  • GatewayAddress is NULL.
  • *SubnetAddress is not a valid subnet address.
  • *SubnetMask is not a valid subnet mask.
  • *GatewayAddress is not a valid unicast IPv4 address.
EFI_OUT_OF_RESOURCES Could not add the entry to the routing table.
EFI_NOT_FOUND This route is not in the routing table (when DeleteRoute is TRUE).
EFI_ACCESS_DENIED The route is already defined in the routing table (when DeleteRoute is FALSE).

typedef EFI_STATUS(EFIAPI * EFI_IP4_TRANSMIT)(IN EFI_IP4_PROTOCOL *This, IN EFI_IP4_COMPLETION_TOKEN *Token)

Places outgoing data packets into the transmit queue.

The Transmit() function places a sending request in the transmit queue of this EFI IPv4 Protocol instance. Whenever the packet in the token is sent out or some errors occur, the event in the token will be signaled and the status is updated.

Parameters:
This The pointer to the EFI_IP4_PROTOCOL instance.
Token The pointer to the transmit token.
Return values:
EFI_SUCCESS The data has been queued for transmission.
EFI_NOT_STARTED This instance has not been started.
EFI_NO_MAPPING When using the default address, configuration (DHCP, BOOTP, RARP, etc.) is not finished yet.
EFI_INVALID_PARAMETER One or more pameters are invalid.
EFI_ACCESS_DENIED The transmit completion token with the same Token.Event was already in the transmit queue.
EFI_NOT_READY The completion token could not be queued because the transmit queue is full.
EFI_NOT_FOUND Not route is found to destination address.
EFI_OUT_OF_RESOURCES Could not queue the transmit data.
EFI_BUFFER_TOO_SMALL Token.Packet.TxData.TotalDataLength is too short to transmit.
EFI_BAD_BUFFER_SIZE The length of the IPv4 header + option length + total data length is greater than MTU (or greater than the maximum packet size if Token.Packet.TxData.OverrideData. DoNotFragment is TRUE.)
