When DHCP is misconfigured on a network segment, such that two DHCP servers attempt to reply to requests (and therefore race with each other), the edk2 PXE client can confuse itself. In PxeBcDhcp4BootInfo() / PxeBcDhcp6BootInfo(), the client may refer to a DHCP reply packet as an "earlier" packet from the "same" DHCP server, when in reality both packets are unrelated, and arrive from different DHCP servers. While the edk2 PXE client can do nothing to fix this, it should at least not ASSERT() -- ASSERT() is for catching programming errors (violations of invariants that are under the control of the programmer). ASSERT()s should in particular not refer to external data (such as network packets). What's more, in RELEASE builds, we get NULL pointer references. Check the problem conditions with actual "if"s, and return EFI_PROTOCOL_ERROR. This will trickle out to PxeBcLoadBootFile(), and be reported as "PXE-E99: Unexpected network error".

Code Contributions
To make a contribution to a TianoCore project, follow these steps.
-
Create a change description in the format specified below to use in the source control commit log.
-
Your commit message must include your
Signed-off-bysignature -
Submit your code to the TianoCore project using the process that the project documents on its web page. If the process is not documented, then submit the code on development email list for the project.

Contributions using other licenses might be accepted, but further review will be required.
Developer Certificate of Origin
Your change description should use the standard format for a
commit message, and must include your Signed-off-by signature.
In order to keep track of who did what, all patches contributed must include a statement that to the best of the contributor's knowledge they have the right to contribute it under the specified license.
The test for this is as specified in the Developer's Certificate of Origin (DCO) 1.1. The contributor certifies compliance by adding a line saying
Signed-off-by: Developer Name developer@example.org
where Developer Name is the contributor's real name, and the email
address is one the developer is reachable through at the time of
contributing.
Developer's Certificate of Origin 1.1
By making a contribution to this project, I certify that:
(a) The contribution was created in whole or in part by me and I
have the right to submit it under the open source license
indicated in the file; or
(b) The contribution is based upon previous work that, to the best
of my knowledge, is covered under an appropriate open source
license and I have the right under that license to submit that
work with modifications, whether created in whole or in part
by me, under the same open source license (unless I am
permitted to submit under a different license), as indicated
in the file; or
(c) The contribution was provided directly to me by some other
person who certified (a), (b) or (c) and I have not modified
it.
(d) I understand and agree that this project and the contribution

Sample Change Description / Commit Message
From: Contributor Name <contributor@example.com>
Subject: [Repository/Branch PATCH] Pkg-Module: Brief-single-line-summary
Full-commit-message
Signed-off-by: Contributor Name <contributor@example.com>
Notes for sample patch email
- The first line of commit message is taken from the email's subject
line following
[Repository/Branch PATCH]. The remaining portion of the commit message is the email's content. git format-patchis one way to create this format
Definitions for sample patch email
Repositoryis the identifier of the repository the patch applies. This identifier should only be provided for repositories other thanedk2. For exampleedk2-BuildSpecificationorstaging.Branchis the identifier of the branch the patch applies. This identifier should only be provided for branches other thanedk2/master. For exampleedk2/UDK2015,edk2-BuildSpecification/release/1.27, orstaging/edk2-test.Moduleis a short identifier for the affected code or documentation. For exampleMdePkg,MdeModulePkg/UsbBusDxe,Introduction, orEDK II INF File Format.Brief-single-line-summaryis a short summary of the change.- The entire first line should be less than ~70 characters.
Full-commit-messagea verbose multiple line comment describing the change. Each line should be less than ~70 characters.Signed-off-byis the contributor's signature identifying them by their real/legal name and their email address.
Submodules
Submodule in EDK II is allowed but submodule chain should be avoided as possible as we can. Currently EDK II contains the following submodules
- CryptoPkg/Library/OpensslLib/openssl
- ArmPkg/Library/ArmSoftFloatLib/berkeley-softfloat-3
ArmSoftFloatLib is actually required by OpensslLib. It's inevitable in openssl-1.1.1 (since stable201905) for floating point parameter conversion, but should be dropped once there's no such need in future release of openssl.
To get a full, buildable EDK II repository, use following steps of git command
$ git clone https://github.com/tianocore/edk2.git
$ cd edk2
$ git submodule update --init
$ cd ..
If there's update for submodules, use following git commands to get the latest submodules code.
$ cd edk2
$ git pull
$ git submodule update
Note: When cloning submodule repos, '--recursive' option is not recommended. EDK II itself will not use any code/feature from submodules in above submodules. So using '--recursive' adds a dependency on being able to reach servers we do not actually want any code from, as well as needlessly downloading code we will not use.
