Introduce a work-around for issues with the AR5416 based MAC on SMP devices. The AR5416 MAC (which shows up in the AR5008, AR9001, AR9002 devices) has issues with PCI transactions on SMP machines. This work-around enforces that register access is serialised through a (global for now) spinlock. This should stop the hangs people have seen with the AR5416 PCI devices on SMP hosts.

Stop embedding struct ifnet at the top of driver softcs. Instead the struct ifnet or the layer 2 common structure it was embedded in have been replaced with a struct ifnet pointer to be filled by a call to the new function, if_alloc(). The layer 2 common structure is also allocated via if_alloc() based on the interface type. It is hung off the new struct ifnet member, if_l2com. This change removes the size of these structures from the kernel ABI and will allow us to better manage them as interfaces come and go. Other changes of note: - Struct arpcom is no longer referenced in normal interface code. Instead the Ethernet address is accessed via the IFP2ENADDR() macro. To enforce this ac_enaddr has been renamed to _ac_enaddr. - The second argument to ether_ifattach is now always the mac address from driver private storage rather than sometimes being ac_enaddr.

Overhaul regulatory support: o remove HAL_CHANNEL; convert the hal to use net80211 channels; this mostly involves mechanical changes to variable names and channel attribute macros o gut HAL_CHANNEL_PRIVATE as most of the contents are now redundant with the net80211 channel available o change api for ath_hal_init_channels: no more reglass id's, no more outdoor indication (was a noop), anM contents o add ath_hal_getchannels to have the hal construct a channel list without altering runtime state; this is used to retrieve the calibration list for the device in ath_getradiocaps o add ath_hal_set_channels to take a channel list and regulatory data from above and construct internal state to match (maps frequencies for 900MHz cards, setup for CTL lookups, etc) o compact the private channel table: we keep one private channel per frequency instead of one per HAL_CHANNEL; this gives a big space savings and potentially improves ani and calibration by sharing state (to be seen; didn't see anything in testing); a new config option AH_MAXCHAN controls the table size (default to 96 which was chosen to be ~3x the largest expected size) o shrink ani state and change to mirror private channel table (one entry per frequency indexed by ic_devdata) o move ani state flags to private channel state o remove country codes; use net80211 definitions instead o remove GSM regulatory support; it's no longer needed now that we pass in channel lists from above o consolidate ADHOC_NO_11A attribute with DISALLOW_ADHOC_11A o simplify initial channel list construction based on the EEPROM contents; we preserve country code support for now but may want to just fallback to a WWR sku and dispatch the discovered country code up to user space so the channel list can be constructed using the master regdomain tables o defer to net80211 for max antenna gain o eliminate sorting of internal channel table; now that we use ic_devdata as an index, table lookups are O(1) o remove internal copy of the country code; the public one is sufficient o remove AH_SUPPORT_11D conditional compilation; we always support 11d o remove ath_hal_ispublicsafetysku; not needed any more o remove ath_hal_isgsmsku; no more GSM stuff o move Conformance Test Limit (CTL) state from private channel to a lookup using per-band pointers cached in the private state block o remove regulatory class id support; was unused and belongs in net80211 o fix channel list construction to set IEEE80211_CHAN_NOADHOC, IEEE80211_CHAN_NOHOSTAP, and IEEE80211_CHAN_4MSXMIT o remove private channel flags CHANNEL_DFS and CHANNEL_4MS_LIMIT; these are now set in the constructed net80211 channel o store CHANNEL_NFCREQUIRED (Noise Floor Required) channel attribute in one of the driver-private flag bits of the net80211 channel o move 900MHz frequency mapping into the hal; the mapped frequency is stored in the private channel and used throughout the hal (no more mapping in the driver and/or net80211) o remove ath_hal_mhz2ieee; it's no longer needed as net80211 does the calculation and available in the net80211 channel o change noise floor calibration logic to work with compacted private channel table setup; this may require revisiting as we no longer can distinguish channel attributes (e.g. 11b vs 11g vs turbo) but since the data is used only to calculate status data we can live with it for now o change ah_getChipPowerLimits internal method to operate on a single channel instead of all channels in the private channel table o add ath_hal_gethwchannel to map a net80211 channel to a h/w frequency (always the same except for 900MHz channels) o add HAL_EEBADREG and HAL_EEBADCC status codes to better identify regulatory problems o remove CTRY_DEBUG and CTRY_DEFAULT enum's; these come from net80211 now o change ath_hal_getwirelessmodes to really return wireless modes supported by the hardware (was previously applying regulatory constraints) o return channel interference status with IEEE80211_CHANSTATE_CWINT (should change to a callback so hal api's can take const pointers) o remove some #define's no longer needed with the inclusion of <net80211/_ieee80211.h> Sponsored by: Carlson Wireless

Switch to ath hal source code. Note this removes the ath_hal module; the ath module now brings in the hal support. Kernel config files are almost backwards compatible; supplying device ath_hal gives you the same chip support that the binary hal did but you must also include options AH_SUPPORT_AR5416 to enable the extended format descriptors used by 11n parts. It is now possible to control the chip support included in a build by specifying exactly which chips are to be supported in the config file; consult ath_hal(4) for information.

Break out the diagnostic codes from ah_internal.h and place them in ah_diagcodes.h. Since we now have the source code, there's no reason to hide the diag codes from other areas. They live in the HAL as they form part of the HAL API and should still be treate as "potentially flexible; don't publish as a public API." But since they're already used as a public API (see follow-up commit), we may as well use them in place of magic constants.

Attempt to further fix some of the concurrency/reset issues that occur. * ath_reset() is being called in softclock context, which may have the thing sleep on a lock. To avoid this, since we really _shouldn't_ be sleeping on any locks, break out the no-loss reset path into a tasklet and call that from: + ath_calibrate() + ath_watchdog() This has the added advantage that it'll end up also doing the frame RX cleanup from within the taskqueue context, rather than the softclock context. * Shuffle around the taskqueue_block() call to be before we grab the lock and disable interrupts. The trouble here is that taskqueue_block() doesn't block currently queued (but not yet running) tasks so calling it doesn't guarantee no further tasks (that weren't running on _A_ CPU at the time of this call) will complete. Calling taskqueue_drain() on these tasks won't work because if any _other_ thread calls taskqueue_enqueue() for whatever reason, everything gets very angry and stops working. This slightly changes the race condition enough to let ath_rx_tasklet() run before we try disabling it, and thus quietens the warnings a bit. The (more) true solution will be doing something like the following: * having a taskqueue_blocked mask in ath_softc; * having an interrupt_blocked mask in ath_softc; * only calling taskqueue_drain() on each individual task _after_ the lock has been acquired - that way no further tasklet scheduling is going to occur. * Then once the tasks have been blocked _and_ the interrupt has been disabled, call taskqueue_drain() on each, ensuring that anything that _was_ scheduled or running is removed. The trouble is if something calls taskqueue_enqueue() on a task after taskqueue_blocked() has been called but BEFORE taskqueue_drain() has been called, ta_pending will be set to 1 and taskqueue_drain() will sit there stuck in msleep() until you hard-kill the machine.

Defer the rescheduling of TID -> TXQ frames in some instances. Right now ath_txq_sched() is mainly called from the TX ath_tx_processq() routine, which is (mostly) done as part of the taskqueue. It shouldn't be called outside the taskqueue. But now that I'm about to flip back on BAR TX, I'm going to start stressing the ath_tx_tid_pause() and ath_tx_tid_resume() paths. What I don't want to have happen is a reschedule of the TID traffic _during_ the completion of TX frames. Ideally I'd like to have a way to flag back up to the processing code that the current hardware queue should be rechecked for software TID queue frames. But for now, this should suffice for the BAR TX case. I may eventually delete this code once I've brought some further sanity to the general TX queue/completion path.

In preparation for supporting 11n TX/RX properly, allow for TX queue draining and interface resets to be marked as ATH_RESET_DEFAULT, ATH_RESET_FULL, ATH_RESET_NOLOSS. Currently a reset is still a reset - ie, all tx/rx frames in the hardware queues are purged. This means that those frames will be lost to the 11n TX and RX aggregation state tracking, breaking AMPDU sessions. The (eventual) new semantics: * ATH_RESET_DEFAULT: full reset, this is the default for reset situations which I haven't yet figured out what they should be. * ATH_RESET_FULL: A full reset - for things such as channel changes. * ATH_RESET_NOLOSS: Don't flush TX/RX queues - handle pending RX frames and leave TX frames where they are; restart TX DMA from where it was.

Add the new channel width change field to the ath(4) driver. This is not entirely correct as it simply resets the channel, flushing whatever is in the TX/RX queue. This can and will break aggregation BAW tracking. But the alternative (HT40 frames being sent with the hardware in HT20 mode) is even worse. There's still a small window between the htinfo being received (and the ni_chw field being updated) which could cause problems. I'll look at fleshing this out in follow-up commits. PR: kern/166286

Flesh out the radar detection related operations for the ath driver. This is in no way a complete DFS/radar detection implementation! It merely creates an abstracted interface which allows for future development of the DFS radar detection code. Note: Net80211 already handles the bulk of the DFS machinery, all we need to do here is figure out that a radar event has occured and inform it as such. It then drives the DFS state engine for us. The "null" DFS radar detection module is included by default; it doesn't require a device line. This commit: * Adds a simple abstracted layer for radar detection state - sys/dev/ath/ath_dfs/; * Implements a null DFS module which doesn't do anything; (ie, implements the exact behaviour at the moment); * Adds hooks to the ath driver to process received radar events and gives the DFS module a chance to determine whether a radar has been detected.

New periodic calibration scheme needed for 11n parts that have multiple algorithms and potentially collect multiple samples. Instead of a single calibration interval we now have short and long intervals; the long interval roughly corresponds to the previous single interval. The short interval is used to speedup collection of samples and happens much quicker. We make calls using the short interval until we're told the calibration work is complete at which point we fallback to the long interval. In addition there is a much longer reset interval used to flush all calibration state and cause everthing to start anew. With these changes you can also disable calibration entirely by setting the long interval to zero.

Instead, shuffle out the true per-packet processing which is needed and move the rest of the ANI processing into a periodic event which runs every 100ms by default.

Implement a separate, smaller pool of ath_buf entries for use by management traffic. * Create sc_mgmt_txbuf and sc_mgmt_txdesc, initialise/free them appropriately. * Create an enum to represent buffer types in the API. * Extend ath_getbuf() and _ath_getbuf_locked() to take the above enum. * Right now anything sent via ic_raw_xmit() allocates via ATH_BUFTYPE_MGMT. This may not be very useful. * Add ATH_BUF_MGMT flag (ath_buf.bf_flags) which indicates the current buffer is a mgmt buffer and should go back onto the mgmt free list. * Extend 'txagg' to include debugging output for both normal and mgmt txbufs. * When checking/clearing ATH_BUF_BUSY, do it on both TX pools. Tested: * STA mode, with heavy UDP injection via iperf. This filled the TX queue however BARs were still going out successfully. TODO: * Initialise the mgmt buffers with ATH_BUF_MGMT and then ensure the right type is being allocated and freed on the appropriate list. That'd save a write operation (to bf->bf_flags) on each buffer alloc/free. * Test on AP mode, ensure that BAR TX and probe responses go out nicely when the main TX queue is filled (eg with paused traffic to a TID, awaiting a BAR to complete.)

Migrate the STAILQ lists to TAILQs. A bunch of the 11n TX aggregation logic wants to traverse lists of buffers in various ways. In order to provide O(1) behaviour in this instance, use TAILQs. This does blow out the memory footprint and CPU cycles slightly for some of these operations. I may convert some of these back to STAILQs once the rest of the software transmit queue handling has been stabilised. Sponsored by: Hobnob, Inc.

Add in the (very!) optional glue to flip the 11n bits for if_ath. There's still a lot of random issues to sort out with the radio side of things and AMPDU RX handling (and completely missing AMPDU TX handling!) but if people wish to give this a go and assist in debugging the issues, they can define ATH_DO_11N to enable it. I'm just re-iterating - this is here to allow people to assist in further 11n development; it is not any indication that the 11n support is complete and functional. Important notes: * This doesn't support 1-stream cards yet - (eg AR9285) - the various bits that negotiate TX/RX MCS don't know not to try >1 stream TX or negotiate 1-stream RX; so don't enable 11n unless you've first taught the rate control module and the net80211 stack to negotiate 1-stream stuff; * The only rate control module minimally 11n aware is ath_rate_sample; * ath_rate_sample doesn't know about HT/40; so airtime will be incorrectly calculated; * The AR9160 and AR9280 radio code is unreliable at the higher MCS rates for some reason; this will definitely impact 11n performance; * AMPDU-TX isn't yet implemented; * AMPDU-RX may be a bit buggy still and will definitely suffer from the radio unreliability mentioned above (ie, don't expect 150/300mbit RX just yet.)

Add in a new driver feature to allow the TX and RX chainmask to be overridden at attach time. Some 802.11n NICs may only have one physical antenna connected. The radios will be very upset if you try enabling radios which aren't connected to antennas. This allows hints to override the TX and RX chainmask. These hints are: hint.ath.X.rx_chainmask hint.ath.X.tx_chainmask They can be set at either boot time or in kenv before the module is loaded.

Preparation for correct 802.11n tx/rx handling. * Change ath_rx_proc() to ath_rx_tasklet(); make that the taskqueue function. This way (eventually) ath_rx_proc() can be called from elsewhere in the packet reset/processing queue so frames aren't just "flushed" during interface resets/reconfigure. This breaks 802.11n RX aggregation tracking. * Extend ath_tx_proc() to take a 'resched' flag, which marks whether to reschedule further RX PCU reads or not. * Change ath_tx_processq() to take a "dosched" flag, which will eventually be used to indicate whether to reschedule the software TX scheduler.

Attempt to further fix some of the concurrency/reset issues that occur. * ath_reset() is being called in softclock context, which may have the thing sleep on a lock. To avoid this, since we really _shouldn't_ be sleeping on any locks, break out the no-loss reset path into a tasklet and call that from: + ath_calibrate() + ath_watchdog() This has the added advantage that it'll end up also doing the frame RX cleanup from within the taskqueue context, rather than the softclock context. * Shuffle around the taskqueue_block() call to be before we grab the lock and disable interrupts. The trouble here is that taskqueue_block() doesn't block currently queued (but not yet running) tasks so calling it doesn't guarantee no further tasks (that weren't running on _A_ CPU at the time of this call) will complete. Calling taskqueue_drain() on these tasks won't work because if any _other_ thread calls taskqueue_enqueue() for whatever reason, everything gets very angry and stops working. This slightly changes the race condition enough to let ath_rx_tasklet() run before we try disabling it, and thus quietens the warnings a bit. The (more) true solution will be doing something like the following: * having a taskqueue_blocked mask in ath_softc; * having an interrupt_blocked mask in ath_softc; * only calling taskqueue_drain() on each individual task _after_ the lock has been acquired - that way no further tasklet scheduling is going to occur. * Then once the tasks have been blocked _and_ the interrupt has been disabled, call taskqueue_drain() on each, ensuring that anything that _was_ scheduled or running is removed. The trouble is if something calls taskqueue_enqueue() on a task after taskqueue_blocked() has been called but BEFORE taskqueue_drain() has been called, ta_pending will be set to 1 and taskqueue_drain() will sit there stuck in msleep() until you hard-kill the machine.

Defer the rescheduling of TID -> TXQ frames in some instances. Right now ath_txq_sched() is mainly called from the TX ath_tx_processq() routine, which is (mostly) done as part of the taskqueue. It shouldn't be called outside the taskqueue. But now that I'm about to flip back on BAR TX, I'm going to start stressing the ath_tx_tid_pause() and ath_tx_tid_resume() paths. What I don't want to have happen is a reschedule of the TID traffic _during_ the completion of TX frames. Ideally I'd like to have a way to flag back up to the processing code that the current hardware queue should be rechecked for software TID queue frames. But for now, this should suffice for the BAR TX case. I may eventually delete this code once I've brought some further sanity to the general TX queue/completion path.

Implementation of the upcoming Wireless Mesh standard, 802.11s, on the net80211 wireless stack. This work is based on the March 2009 D3.0 draft standard. This standard is expected to become final next year. This includes two main net80211 modules, ieee80211_mesh.c which deals with peer link management, link metric calculation, routing table control and mesh configuration and ieee80211_hwmp.c which deals with the actually routing process on the mesh network. HWMP is the mandatory routing protocol on by the mesh standard, but others, such as RA-OLSR, can be implemented. Authentication and encryption are not implemented. There are several scripts under tools/tools/net80211/scripts that can be used to test different mesh network topologies and they also teach you how to setup a mesh vap (for the impatient: ifconfig wlan0 create wlandev ... wlanmode mesh). A new build option is available: IEEE80211_SUPPORT_MESH and it's enabled by default on GENERIC kernels for i386, amd64, sparc64 and pc98. Drivers that support mesh networks right now are: ath, ral and mwl. More information at: http://wiki.freebsd.org/WifiMesh Please note that this work is experimental. Also, please note that bridging a mesh vap with another network interface is not yet supported. Many thanks to the FreeBSD Foundation for sponsoring this project and to Sam Leffler for his support. Also, I would like to thank Gateworks Corporation for sending me a Cambria board which was used during the development of this project.

Implementation of the upcoming Wireless Mesh standard, 802.11s, on the net80211 wireless stack. This work is based on the March 2009 D3.0 draft standard. This standard is expected to become final next year. This includes two main net80211 modules, ieee80211_mesh.c which deals with peer link management, link metric calculation, routing table control and mesh configuration and ieee80211_hwmp.c which deals with the actually routing process on the mesh network. HWMP is the mandatory routing protocol on by the mesh standard, but others, such as RA-OLSR, can be implemented. Authentication and encryption are not implemented. There are several scripts under tools/tools/net80211/scripts that can be used to test different mesh network topologies and they also teach you how to setup a mesh vap (for the impatient: ifconfig wlan0 create wlandev ... wlanmode mesh). A new build option is available: IEEE80211_SUPPORT_MESH and it's enabled by default on GENERIC kernels for i386, amd64, sparc64 and pc98. Drivers that support mesh networks right now are: ath, ral and mwl. More information at: http://wiki.freebsd.org/WifiMesh Please note that this work is experimental. Also, please note that bridging a mesh vap with another network interface is not yet supported. Many thanks to the FreeBSD Foundation for sponsoring this project and to Sam Leffler for his support. Also, I would like to thank Gateworks Corporation for sending me a Cambria board which was used during the development of this project.

Add a HAL capability bit for supporting self-linked RX descriptors and disable it for the 11n chipsets. From the ath9k source: == 11N: we can no longer afford to self link the last descriptor. MAC acknowledges BA status as long as it copies frames to host buffer (or rx fifo). This can incorrectly acknowledge packets to a sender if last desc is self-linked. == Since this is useful for pre-AR5416 chips that communicate PHY errors via error frames rather than by on-chip counters, leave the support in there, but disable it for AR5416 and later.

Update the TSF and next-TBTT methods to work for the AR5416 and later NICs. This is another commit in a series of TDMA support fixes for the 11n NICs. * Move ath_hal_getnexttbtt() into the HAL; write methods for it. This returns a timer value in TSF, rather than TU. * Move ath_hal_getcca() and ath_hal_setcca() into the HAL too, where they likely now belong. * Create a new HAL capability: HAL_CAP_LONG_RXDESC_TSF. The pre-11n NICs write 15 bit TSF snapshots into the RX descriptor; the AR5416 and later write 32 bit TSF snapshots into the RX descriptor. * Use the new capability to choose between 15 and 31 bit TSF adjustment functions in ath_extend_tsf(). * Write ar5416GetTsf64() and ar5416SetTsf64() methods. ar5416GetTsf64() tries to compensate for TSF changes at the 32 bit boundary. According to yin, this fixes the TDMA beaconing on 11n chipsets and TDMA stations can now associate/talk, but there are still issues with traffic stability which need to be investigated. The ath_hal_extendtsf() function is also used in RX packet timestamping; this may improve adhoc mode on the 11n chipsets. It also will affect the timestamps seen in radiotap frames.

Overhaul regulatory support: o remove HAL_CHANNEL; convert the hal to use net80211 channels; this mostly involves mechanical changes to variable names and channel attribute macros o gut HAL_CHANNEL_PRIVATE as most of the contents are now redundant with the net80211 channel available o change api for ath_hal_init_channels: no more reglass id's, no more outdoor indication (was a noop), anM contents o add ath_hal_getchannels to have the hal construct a channel list without altering runtime state; this is used to retrieve the calibration list for the device in ath_getradiocaps o add ath_hal_set_channels to take a channel list and regulatory data from above and construct internal state to match (maps frequencies for 900MHz cards, setup for CTL lookups, etc) o compact the private channel table: we keep one private channel per frequency instead of one per HAL_CHANNEL; this gives a big space savings and potentially improves ani and calibration by sharing state (to be seen; didn't see anything in testing); a new config option AH_MAXCHAN controls the table size (default to 96 which was chosen to be ~3x the largest expected size) o shrink ani state and change to mirror private channel table (one entry per frequency indexed by ic_devdata) o move ani state flags to private channel state o remove country codes; use net80211 definitions instead o remove GSM regulatory support; it's no longer needed now that we pass in channel lists from above o consolidate ADHOC_NO_11A attribute with DISALLOW_ADHOC_11A o simplify initial channel list construction based on the EEPROM contents; we preserve country code support for now but may want to just fallback to a WWR sku and dispatch the discovered country code up to user space so the channel list can be constructed using the master regdomain tables o defer to net80211 for max antenna gain o eliminate sorting of internal channel table; now that we use ic_devdata as an index, table lookups are O(1) o remove internal copy of the country code; the public one is sufficient o remove AH_SUPPORT_11D conditional compilation; we always support 11d o remove ath_hal_ispublicsafetysku; not needed any more o remove ath_hal_isgsmsku; no more GSM stuff o move Conformance Test Limit (CTL) state from private channel to a lookup using per-band pointers cached in the private state block o remove regulatory class id support; was unused and belongs in net80211 o fix channel list construction to set IEEE80211_CHAN_NOADHOC, IEEE80211_CHAN_NOHOSTAP, and IEEE80211_CHAN_4MSXMIT o remove private channel flags CHANNEL_DFS and CHANNEL_4MS_LIMIT; these are now set in the constructed net80211 channel o store CHANNEL_NFCREQUIRED (Noise Floor Required) channel attribute in one of the driver-private flag bits of the net80211 channel o move 900MHz frequency mapping into the hal; the mapped frequency is stored in the private channel and used throughout the hal (no more mapping in the driver and/or net80211) o remove ath_hal_mhz2ieee; it's no longer needed as net80211 does the calculation and available in the net80211 channel o change noise floor calibration logic to work with compacted private channel table setup; this may require revisiting as we no longer can distinguish channel attributes (e.g. 11b vs 11g vs turbo) but since the data is used only to calculate status data we can live with it for now o change ah_getChipPowerLimits internal method to operate on a single channel instead of all channels in the private channel table o add ath_hal_gethwchannel to map a net80211 channel to a h/w frequency (always the same except for 900MHz channels) o add HAL_EEBADREG and HAL_EEBADCC status codes to better identify regulatory problems o remove CTRY_DEBUG and CTRY_DEFAULT enum's; these come from net80211 now o change ath_hal_getwirelessmodes to really return wireless modes supported by the hardware (was previously applying regulatory constraints) o return channel interference status with IEEE80211_CHANSTATE_CWINT (should change to a callback so hal api's can take const pointers) o remove some #define's no longer needed with the inclusion of <net80211/_ieee80211.h> Sponsored by: Carlson Wireless

Update 802.11 wireless support: o major overhaul of the way channels are handled: channels are now fully enumerated and uniquely identify the operating characteristics; these changes are visible to user applications which require changes o make scanning support independent of the state machine to enable background scanning and roaming o move scanning support into loadable modules based on the operating mode to enable different policies and reduce the memory footprint on systems w/ constrained resources o add background scanning in station mode (no support for adhoc/ibss mode yet) o significantly speedup sta mode scanning with a variety of techniques o add roaming support when background scanning is supported; for now we use a simple algorithm to trigger a roam: we threshold the rssi and tx rate, if either drops too low we try to roam to a new ap o add tx fragmentation support o add first cut at 802.11n support: this code works with forthcoming drivers but is incomplete; it's included now to establish a baseline for other drivers to be developed and for user applications o adjust max_linkhdr et. al. to reflect 802.11 requirements; this eliminates prepending mbufs for traffic generated locally o add support for Atheros protocol extensions; mainly the fast frames encapsulation (note this can be used with any card that can tx+rx large frames correctly) o add sta support for ap's that beacon both WPA1+2 support o change all data types from bsd-style to posix-style o propagate noise floor data from drivers to net80211 and on to user apps o correct various issues in the sta mode state machine related to handling authentication and association failures o enable the addition of sta mode power save support for drivers that need net80211 support (not in this commit) o remove old WI compatibility ioctls (wicontrol is officially dead) o change the data structures returned for get sta info and get scan results so future additions will not break user apps o fixed tx rate is now maintained internally as an ieee rate and not an index into the rate set; this needs to be extended to deal with multi-mode operation o add extended channel specifications to radiotap to enable 11n sniffing Drivers: o ath: add support for bg scanning, tx fragmentation, fast frames, dynamic turbo (lightly tested), 11n (sniffing only and needs new hal) o awi: compile tested only o ndis: lightly tested o ipw: lightly tested o iwi: add support for bg scanning (well tested but may have some rough edges) o ral, ural, rum: add suppoort for bg scanning, calibrate rssi data o wi: lightly tested This work is based on contributions by Atheros, kmacy, sephe, thompsa, mlaier, kevlo, and others.

Don't flood the cabq/mcastq with frames. In a very noisy 2.4GHz environment (with HT/40 enabled, making it worse) I saw the following occur: * the air was considered "busy" a lot of the time; * the cabq time is quite short due to staggered beacons being enabled; * it just wasn't able to keep up TX'ing CABQ frames; * .. and the cabq would swallow up all the TX ath_buf's. This patch introduces a twiddle which allows the maximum cabq depth to be set, forcing further frames to be dropped. It defaults to the TX buffer count at the moment, so the default behaviour isn't changed. I've also started fleshing out a similar setup for the data path, so it doesn't swallow up all the available TX buffers and preventing management frames (such as ADDBA) out. PR: kern/165895

Update 802.11 wireless support: o major overhaul of the way channels are handled: channels are now fully enumerated and uniquely identify the operating characteristics; these changes are visible to user applications which require changes o make scanning support independent of the state machine to enable background scanning and roaming o move scanning support into loadable modules based on the operating mode to enable different policies and reduce the memory footprint on systems w/ constrained resources o add background scanning in station mode (no support for adhoc/ibss mode yet) o significantly speedup sta mode scanning with a variety of techniques o add roaming support when background scanning is supported; for now we use a simple algorithm to trigger a roam: we threshold the rssi and tx rate, if either drops too low we try to roam to a new ap o add tx fragmentation support o add first cut at 802.11n support: this code works with forthcoming drivers but is incomplete; it's included now to establish a baseline for other drivers to be developed and for user applications o adjust max_linkhdr et. al. to reflect 802.11 requirements; this eliminates prepending mbufs for traffic generated locally o add support for Atheros protocol extensions; mainly the fast frames encapsulation (note this can be used with any card that can tx+rx large frames correctly) o add sta support for ap's that beacon both WPA1+2 support o change all data types from bsd-style to posix-style o propagate noise floor data from drivers to net80211 and on to user apps o correct various issues in the sta mode state machine related to handling authentication and association failures o enable the addition of sta mode power save support for drivers that need net80211 support (not in this commit) o remove old WI compatibility ioctls (wicontrol is officially dead) o change the data structures returned for get sta info and get scan results so future additions will not break user apps o fixed tx rate is now maintained internally as an ieee rate and not an index into the rate set; this needs to be extended to deal with multi-mode operation o add extended channel specifications to radiotap to enable 11n sniffing Drivers: o ath: add support for bg scanning, tx fragmentation, fast frames, dynamic turbo (lightly tested), 11n (sniffing only and needs new hal) o awi: compile tested only o ndis: lightly tested o ipw: lightly tested o iwi: add support for bg scanning (well tested but may have some rough edges) o ral, ural, rum: add suppoort for bg scanning, calibrate rssi data o wi: lightly tested This work is based on contributions by Atheros, kmacy, sephe, thompsa, mlaier, kevlo, and others.

#ifdef ATH_ENABLE_11N
Introduce TX aggregation and software TX queue management for Atheros AR5416 and later wireless devices. This is a very large commit - the complete history can be found in the user/adrian/if_ath_tx branch. Legacy (ie, pre-AR5416) devices also use the per-software TXQ support and (in theory) can support non-aggregation ADDBA sessions. However, the net80211 stack doesn't currently support this. In summary: TX path: * queued frames normally go onto a per-TID, per-node queue * some special frames (eg ADDBA control frames) are thrown directly onto the relevant hardware queue so they can go out before any software queued frames are queued. * Add methods to create, suspend, resume and tear down an aggregation session. * Add in software retransmission of both normal and aggregate frames. * Add in completion handling of aggregate frames, including parsing the block ack bitmap provided by the hardware. * Write an aggregation function which can assemble frames into an aggregate based on the selected rate control and channel configuration. * The per-TID queues are locked based on their target hardware TX queue. This matches what ath9k/atheros does, and thus simplified porting over some of the aggregation logic. * When doing TX aggregation, stick the sequence number allocation in the TX path rather than net80211 TX path, and protect it by the TXQ lock. Rate control: * Delay rate control selection until the frame is about to be queued to the hardware, so retried frames can have their rate control choices changed. Frames with a static rate control selection have that applied before each TX, just to simplify the TX path (ie, not have "static" and "dynamic" rate control special cased.) * Teach ath_rate_sample about aggregates - both completion and errors. * Add an EWMA for tracking what the current "good" MCS rate is based on failure rates. Misc: * Introduce a bunch of dirty hacks and workarounds so TID mapping and net80211 frame inspection can be kept out of the net80211 layer. Because of the way this code works (and it's from Atheros and Linux ath9k), there is a consistent, 1:1 mapping between TID and AC. So we need to ensure that frames going to a specific TID will _always_ end up on the right AC, and vice versa, or the completion/locking will simply get very confused. I plan on addressing this mess in the future. Known issues: * There is no BAR frame transmission just yet. A whole lot of tidying up needs to occur before BAR frame TX can occur in the "correct" place - ie, once the TID TX queue has been drained. * Interface reset/purge/etc results in frames in the TX and RX queues being removed. This creates holes in the sequence numbers being assigned and the TX/RX AMPDU code (on either side) just hangs. * There's no filtered frame support at the present moment, so stations going into power saving mode will simply have a number of frames dropped - likely resulting in a traffic "hang". * Raw frame TX is going to just not function with 11n aggregation. Likely this needs to be modified to always override the sequence number if the frame is going into an aggregation session. However, general raw frame injection currently doesn't work in general in net80211, so let's just ignore this for now until this is sorted out. * HT protection is just not implemented and won't be until the above is sorted out. In addition, the AR5416 has issues RTS protecting large aggregates (anything >8k), so the work around needs to be ported and tested. Thus, this will be put on hold until the above work is complete. * The rate control module 'sample' is the only currently supported module; onoe/amrr haven't been tested and have likely bit rotted a little. I'll follow up with some commits to make them work again for non-11n rates, but they won't be updated to handle 11n and aggregation. If someone wishes to do so then they're welcome to send along patches. * .. and "sample" doesn't really do a good job of 11n TX. Specifically, the metrics used (packet TX time and failure/success rates) isn't as useful for 11n. It's likely that it should be extended to take into account the aggregate throughput possible and then choose a rate which maximises that. Ie, it may be acceptable for a higher MCS rate with a higher failure to be used if it gives a more acceptable throughput/latency then a lower MCS rate @ a lower error rate. Again, patches will be gratefully accepted. Because of this, ATH_ENABLE_11N is still not enabled by default. Sponsored by: Hobnob, Inc. Obtained from: Linux, Atheros

Flesh out the radar detection related operations for the ath driver. This is in no way a complete DFS/radar detection implementation! It merely creates an abstracted interface which allows for future development of the DFS radar detection code. Note: Net80211 already handles the bulk of the DFS machinery, all we need to do here is figure out that a radar event has occured and inform it as such. It then drives the DFS state engine for us. The "null" DFS radar detection module is included by default; it doesn't require a device line. This commit: * Adds a simple abstracted layer for radar detection state - sys/dev/ath/ath_dfs/; * Implements a null DFS module which doesn't do anything; (ie, implements the exact behaviour at the moment); * Adds hooks to the ath driver to process received radar events and gives the DFS module a chance to determine whether a radar has been detected.

Implementation of the upcoming Wireless Mesh standard, 802.11s, on the net80211 wireless stack. This work is based on the March 2009 D3.0 draft standard. This standard is expected to become final next year. This includes two main net80211 modules, ieee80211_mesh.c which deals with peer link management, link metric calculation, routing table control and mesh configuration and ieee80211_hwmp.c which deals with the actually routing process on the mesh network. HWMP is the mandatory routing protocol on by the mesh standard, but others, such as RA-OLSR, can be implemented. Authentication and encryption are not implemented. There are several scripts under tools/tools/net80211/scripts that can be used to test different mesh network topologies and they also teach you how to setup a mesh vap (for the impatient: ifconfig wlan0 create wlandev ... wlanmode mesh). A new build option is available: IEEE80211_SUPPORT_MESH and it's enabled by default on GENERIC kernels for i386, amd64, sparc64 and pc98. Drivers that support mesh networks right now are: ath, ral and mwl. More information at: http://wiki.freebsd.org/WifiMesh Please note that this work is experimental. Also, please note that bridging a mesh vap with another network interface is not yet supported. Many thanks to the FreeBSD Foundation for sponsoring this project and to Sam Leffler for his support.

Implementation of the upcoming Wireless Mesh standard, 802.11s, on the net80211 wireless stack. This work is based on the March 2009 D3.0 draft standard. This standard is expected to become final next year. This includes two main net80211 modules, ieee80211_mesh.c which deals with peer link management, link metric calculation, routing table control and mesh configuration and ieee80211_hwmp.c which deals with the actually routing process on the mesh network. HWMP is the mandatory routing protocol on by the mesh standard, but others, such as RA-OLSR, can be implemented. Authentication and encryption are not implemented. There are several scripts under tools/tools/net80211/scripts that can be used to test different mesh network topologies and they also teach you how to setup a mesh vap (for the impatient: ifconfig wlan0 create wlandev ... wlanmode mesh). A new build option is available: IEEE80211_SUPPORT_MESH and it's enabled by default on GENERIC kernels for i386, amd64, sparc64 and pc98. Drivers that support mesh networks right now are: ath, ral and mwl. More information at: http://wiki.freebsd.org/WifiMesh Please note that this work is experimental. Also, please note that bridging a mesh vap with another network interface is not yet supported. Many thanks to the FreeBSD Foundation for sponsoring this project and to Sam Leffler for his support.

In preparation for supporting 11n TX/RX properly, allow for TX queue draining and interface resets to be marked as ATH_RESET_DEFAULT, ATH_RESET_FULL, ATH_RESET_NOLOSS. Currently a reset is still a reset - ie, all tx/rx frames in the hardware queues are purged. This means that those frames will be lost to the 11n TX and RX aggregation state tracking, breaking AMPDU sessions. The (eventual) new semantics: * ATH_RESET_DEFAULT: full reset, this is the default for reset situations which I haven't yet figured out what they should be. * ATH_RESET_FULL: A full reset - for things such as channel changes. * ATH_RESET_NOLOSS: Don't flush TX/RX queues - handle pending RX frames and leave TX frames where they are; restart TX DMA from where it was.

ath_draintxq(sc, ATH_RESET_DEFAULT); /* stop hw xmit side */
/* XXX Do all frames from all vaps/nodes need draining here? */
Begin breaking apart the receive setup/stop path in preparation for more "correct" handling of frames in the RX pending queue during interface transitions. * ath_stoprecv() doesn't blank out the descriptor list - that's what ath_startrecv() does. So, change a comment to reflect that. * ath_stoprecv() does include a large (3ms) delay to let pending DMA complete. However, I'm under the impression that the stopdma hal method does check for a bit in the PCU to indicate DMA has stopped. So, to help with fast abort and restart, modify ath_stoprecv() to take a flag which indicates whether this is needed. * Modify the uses of ath_stoprecv() to pass in a flag to support the existing behaviour (ie, do the delay.) * Remove some duplicate PCU teardown code (which wasn't shutting down DMA, so it wasn't entirely correct..) and replace it with a call to ath_stoprecv(sc, 0) - which disables the DELAY call. The upshoot of this is now channel change doesn't simply drop completed frames on the floor, but instead it cleanly handles those frames. It still discards pending TX frames in the software and hardware queues as there's no (current) logic which forcibly recalculates the rate control information (or whether they're appropriate to be on the TX queue after a channel change), that'll come later. This still doesn't stop all the sources of queue stalls but it does tidy up some of the code duplication. To be complete, queue stalls now occur during normal behaviour - they only occur after some kind of broken behaviour causes an interface or node flush, upsetting the TX/RX BAW. Subsequent commits will incrementally fix these and other related issues. Sponsored by: Hobnob, Inc.

The VAP is then deleted, and the frame ends up being queued to a node that is freed before it can be TX'ed. Things go awry at this point. There's no way at the present to avoid freeing the underlying node when the vap is being deleted. It's too late in the game. I suspect the real fix is to make sure the frame is software queued with no completion information somehow, so it doesn't link back to a node whose underlying VAP has been freed.

Stop embedding struct ifnet at the top of driver softcs. Instead the struct ifnet or the layer 2 common structure it was embedded in have been replaced with a struct ifnet pointer to be filled by a call to the new function, if_alloc(). The layer 2 common structure is also allocated via if_alloc() based on the interface type. It is hung off the new struct ifnet member, if_l2com. This change removes the size of these structures from the kernel ABI and will allow us to better manage them as interfaces come and go. Other changes of note: - Struct arpcom is no longer referenced in normal interface code. Instead the Ethernet address is accessed via the IFP2ENADDR() macro. To enforce this ac_enaddr has been renamed to _ac_enaddr. - The second argument to ether_ifattach is now always the mac address from driver private storage rather than sometimes being ac_enaddr.

Setup the initial LED state on attach and resume. Some of the NICs I have here power up with the LEDs blinking, which is incorrect. The blinking should only occur when the NIC is attempting to associate. * On powerup, set the state to HAL_LED_INIT, which turns on the "Power" MAC LED but leaves the "Network" MAC LED the way it is. * On resume, also init it to HAL_LED_INIT unless in station mode, where it's forced to HAL_LED_RUN. Hopefully the net80211 state machine will call newstate() at some point, which will refiddle the LEDs. I've tested this on a handful of 11n and pre-11n NICs. The blinking behaviour is slightly more sensible now.

Fix beacon transmission after a channel set. The DFS code was tickling the channel set directly whilst going through the state RUN -> CSA -> RUN. This only changed the channel; it didn't go via ath_reset(). However in this driver, a channel change always causes a chip reset, which resets the beacon timer configuration and interrupt setup. This meant that data would go out but as the beacon timers never fired, beacons would never be queued. The confusing part is that sometimes the state transition was RUN -> SCAN -> CAC -> RUN (with CSA being in there sometimes); going via SCAN would clear sc_beacons and thus the transition to RUN would reprogram beacon transmission. In case someone tries debugging why suspending a device currently beaconing (versus just RX'ing beacons which is what occurs in STA mode), add a silly comment which should hopefully land them at this commit message. The call to ath_hal_reset() will be clearing the beacon config and it may not be always reset.

Fix a corner-case of interrupt handling which resulted in potentially spurious (and fatal) interrupt errors. One user reported seeing this: Apr 22 18:04:24 ceres kernel: ar5416GetPendingInterrupts: fatal error, ISR_RAC 0x0 SYNC_CAUSE 0x2000 SYNC_CAUSE of 0x2000 is AR_INTR_SYNC_LOCAL_TIMEOUT which is a bus timeout; this shouldn't cause HAL_INT_FATAL to be set. After checking out ath9k, ath9k_ar9002_hw_get_isr() clears (*masked) before continuing, regardless of whether any bits in the ISR registers are set. So if AR_INTR_SYNC_CAUSE is set to something that isn't treated as fatal, and AR_ISR isn't read or is read and is 0, then (*masked) wouldn't be cleared. Thus any of the existing bits set that were passed in would be preserved in the output. The caller in if_ath - ath_intr() - wasn't setting the masked value to 0 before calling ath_hal_getisr(), so anything that was present in that uninitialised variable would be preserved in the case above of AR_ISR=0, AR_INTR_SYNC_CAUSE != 0; and if the HAL_INT_FATAL bit was set, a fatal condition would be interpreted and the chip was reset. This patch does the following: * ath_intr() - set masked to 0 before calling ath_hal_getisr(); * ar5416GetPendingInterrupts() - clear (*masked) before processing continues; so if the interrupt source is AR_INTR_SYNC_CAUSE and it isn't fatal, the hardware isn't reset via returning HAL_INT_FATAL. This doesn't fix any underlying errors which trigger AR_INTR_SYNC_LOCAL_TIMEOUT - which is a bus timeout of some sort - so that likely should be further investigated.

Merge in some fixes from the if_ath_tx branch. * Close down some of the kickpcu races, where the interrupt handler can and will run concurrently with the taskqueue. * Close down the TXQ active/completed race between the interrupt handler and the concurrently running tx completion taskqueue function. * Add some tx and rx interrupt count tracking, for debugging. * Fix the kickpcu logic in ath_rx_proc() to not simply drain and restart the TX queue - instead, assume the hardware isn't (too) confused and just restart RX DMA. This may break on previous chipsets, so if it does I'll add a HAL flag and conditionally handle this (ie, for broken chipsets, I'll just restore the "stop PCU / flush things / restart PCU" logic.) * Misc stuff Sponsored by: Hobnob, Inc.

Flesh out some slightly dirty reset/channel change serialisation code for the ath(4) driver. Currently, there's nothing stopping reset, channel change and general TX/RX from overlapping with each other. This wasn't a big deal with pre-11n traffic as it just results in some dropped frames. It's possible this may have also caused some inconsistencies and badly-setup hardware. Since locks can't be held across all of this (the Linux solution) due to LORs with the network stack locks, some state counter variables are used to track what parts of the code the driver is currently in. When the hardware is being reset, it disables the taskqueue and waits for pending interrupts, tx, rx and tx completion before it begins the reset or channel change. TX and RX both abort if called during an active reset or channel change. Finally, the reset path now doesn't flush frames if ATH_RESET_NOLOSS is set. Instead, completed TX and RX frames are passed back up to net80211 before the reset occurs. This is not without problems: * Raw frame xmit are just dropped, rather than placed on a queue. The net80211 stack should be the one which queues these frames rather than the driver. * It's all very messy. It'd be better if these hardware operations were serialised on some kind of work queue, rather than hoping they can be run in parallel. * The taskqueue block/unblock may occur in parallel with the newstate() function - which shuts down the taskqueue and restarts it once the new state is known. It's likely these operations should be refcounted so the taskqueue is restored once no other areas in the code wish to suspend operations. * .. interrupt disable/enable should likely be refcounted as well. With this work, the driver does not drop frames during stuck beacon or fatal errors and thus 11n traffic continues to run correctly. Default and full resets however do still drop frames and it's possible this may occur, causing traffic loss and session stalls. Sponsored by: Hobnob, Inc.

Flesh out some slightly dirty reset/channel change serialisation code for the ath(4) driver. Currently, there's nothing stopping reset, channel change and general TX/RX from overlapping with each other. This wasn't a big deal with pre-11n traffic as it just results in some dropped frames. It's possible this may have also caused some inconsistencies and badly-setup hardware. Since locks can't be held across all of this (the Linux solution) due to LORs with the network stack locks, some state counter variables are used to track what parts of the code the driver is currently in. When the hardware is being reset, it disables the taskqueue and waits for pending interrupts, tx, rx and tx completion before it begins the reset or channel change. TX and RX both abort if called during an active reset or channel change. Finally, the reset path now doesn't flush frames if ATH_RESET_NOLOSS is set. Instead, completed TX and RX frames are passed back up to net80211 before the reset occurs. This is not without problems: * Raw frame xmit are just dropped, rather than placed on a queue. The net80211 stack should be the one which queues these frames rather than the driver. * It's all very messy. It'd be better if these hardware operations were serialised on some kind of work queue, rather than hoping they can be run in parallel. * The taskqueue block/unblock may occur in parallel with the newstate() function - which shuts down the taskqueue and restarts it once the new state is known. It's likely these operations should be refcounted so the taskqueue is restored once no other areas in the code wish to suspend operations. * .. interrupt disable/enable should likely be refcounted as well.

Update 802.11 wireless support: o major overhaul of the way channels are handled: channels are now fully enumerated and uniquely identify the operating characteristics; these changes are visible to user applications which require changes o make scanning support independent of the state machine to enable background scanning and roaming o move scanning support into loadable modules based on the operating mode to enable different policies and reduce the memory footprint on systems w/ constrained resources o add background scanning in station mode (no support for adhoc/ibss mode yet) o significantly speedup sta mode scanning with a variety of techniques o add roaming support when background scanning is supported; for now we use a simple algorithm to trigger a roam: we threshold the rssi and tx rate, if either drops too low we try to roam to a new ap o add tx fragmentation support o add first cut at 802.11n support: this code works with forthcoming drivers but is incomplete; it's included now to establish a baseline for other drivers to be developed and for user applications o adjust max_linkhdr et. al. to reflect 802.11 requirements; this eliminates prepending mbufs for traffic generated locally o add support for Atheros protocol extensions; mainly the fast frames encapsulation (note this can be used with any card that can tx+rx large frames correctly) o add sta support for ap's that beacon both WPA1+2 support o change all data types from bsd-style to posix-style o propagate noise floor data from drivers to net80211 and on to user apps o correct various issues in the sta mode state machine related to handling authentication and association failures o enable the addition of sta mode power save support for drivers that need net80211 support (not in this commit) o remove old WI compatibility ioctls (wicontrol is officially dead) o change the data structures returned for get sta info and get scan results so future additions will not break user apps o fixed tx rate is now maintained internally as an ieee rate and not an index into the rate set; this needs to be extended to deal with multi-mode operation o add extended channel specifications to radiotap to enable 11n sniffing Drivers: o ath: add support for bg scanning, tx fragmentation, fast frames, dynamic turbo (lightly tested), 11n (sniffing only and needs new hal) o awi: compile tested only o ndis: lightly tested o ipw: lightly tested o iwi: add support for bg scanning (well tested but may have some rough edges) o ral, ural, rum: add suppoort for bg scanning, calibrate rssi data o wi: lightly tested This work is based on contributions by Atheros, kmacy, sephe, thompsa, mlaier, kevlo, and others. Much of the scanning work was supported by Atheros. The 11n work was supported by Marvell.

After checking out ath9k, ath9k_ar9002_hw_get_isr() clears (*masked) before continuing, regardless of whether any bits in the ISR registers are set. So if AR_INTR_SYNC_CAUSE is set to something that isn't treated as fatal, and AR_ISR isn't read or is read and is 0, then (*masked) wouldn't be cleared. Thus any of the existing bits set that were passed in would be preserved in the output. The caller in if_ath - ath_intr() - wasn't setting the masked value to 0 before calling ath_hal_getisr(), so anything that was present in that uninitialised variable would be preserved in the case above of AR_ISR=0, AR_INTR_SYNC_CAUSE != 0; and if the HAL_INT_FATAL bit was set, a fatal condition would be interpreted and the chip was reset. This patch does the following: * ath_intr() - set masked to 0 before calling ath_hal_getisr(); * ar5416GetPendingInterrupts() - clear (*masked) before processing continues; so if the interrupt source is AR_INTR_SYNC_CAUSE and it isn't fatal, the hardware isn't reset via returning HAL_INT_FATAL.

Hoist 802.11 encapsulation up into net80211: o call ieee80211_encap in ieee80211_start so frames passed down to drivers are already encapsulated o remove ieee80211_encap calls in drivers o fixup wi so it recreates the 802.3 head it requires from the 802.11 header contents o move fast-frame aggregation from ath to net80211 (conditional on IEEE80211_SUPPORT_SUPERG): - aggregation is now done in ieee80211_start; it is enabled when the packets/sec exceeds ieee80211_ffppsmin (net.wlan.ffppsmin) and frames are held on a staging queue according to ieee80211_ffagemax (net.wlan.ffagemax) to wait for a frame to combine with - drivers must call back to age/flush the staging queue (ath does this on tx done, at swba, and on rx according to the state of the tx queues and/or the contents of the staging queue) - remove fast-frame-related data structures from ath - add ieee80211_ff_node_init and ieee80211_ff_node_cleanup to handle per-node fast-frames state (we reuse 11n tx ampdu state) o change ieee80211_encap calling convention to include an explicit vap so frames coming through a WDS vap are recognized w/o setting M_WDS With these changes any device able to tx/rx 3Kbyte+ frames can use fast-frames.

Flesh out some slightly dirty reset/channel change serialisation code for the ath(4) driver. Currently, there's nothing stopping reset, channel change and general TX/RX from overlapping with each other. This wasn't a big deal with pre-11n traffic as it just results in some dropped frames. It's possible this may have also caused some inconsistencies and badly-setup hardware. Since locks can't be held across all of this (the Linux solution) due to LORs with the network stack locks, some state counter variables are used to track what parts of the code the driver is currently in. When the hardware is being reset, it disables the taskqueue and waits for pending interrupts, tx, rx and tx completion before it begins the reset or channel change. TX and RX both abort if called during an active reset or channel change. Finally, the reset path now doesn't flush frames if ATH_RESET_NOLOSS is set. Instead, completed TX and RX frames are passed back up to net80211 before the reset occurs. This is not without problems: * Raw frame xmit are just dropped, rather than placed on a queue. The net80211 stack should be the one which queues these frames rather than the driver. * It's all very messy. It'd be better if these hardware operations were serialised on some kind of work queue, rather than hoping they can be run in parallel. * The taskqueue block/unblock may occur in parallel with the newstate() function - which shuts down the taskqueue and restarts it once the new state is known. It's likely these operations should be refcounted so the taskqueue is restored once no other areas in the code wish to suspend operations. * .. interrupt disable/enable should likely be refcounted as well. With this work, the driver does not drop frames during stuck beacon or fatal errors and thus 11n traffic continues to run correctly. Default and full resets however do still drop frames and it's possible this may occur, causing traffic loss and session stalls. Sponsored by: Hobnob, Inc.

Disable the RXORN/RXEOL interrupts if RXEOL occurs, preventing an interrupt storm. This is easily triggered by flipping on and off tcpdump -y IEEE802_11_RADIO w/ witness enabled. This causes a whole lot of console IO and when you're attached to a serial console (eg on my AR7161 embedded board), the RX interrupt doesn't get called quickly enough and the RX queue fills up. This wasn't a problem in the past because of the self-linked RX descriptor trick - the RX would never hit the "end" of the RX descriptor list. However this isn't possible for 802.11n (see previous commit history for why.)

/*
* Disable RXEOL/RXORN - prevent an interrupt
* storm until the PCU logic can be reset.
Fix a corner case in RXEOL handling which was likely introduced by yours truly. Before 802.11n, the RX descriptor list would employ the "self-linked tail descriptor" trick which linked the last descriptor back to itself. This way, the RX engine would never hit the "end" of the list and stop processing RX (and assert RXEOL) as it never hit a descriptor whose next pointer was 0. It would just keep overwriting the last descriptor until the software freed up some more RX descriptors and chained them onto the end. For 802.11n, this needs to stop as a self-linked RX descriptor tickles the block-ack logic into ACK'ing whatever frames are received into that self-linked descriptor - so in very busy periods, you could end up with A-MPDU traffic that is ACKed but never received by the 802.11 stack. This would cause some confusion as the ADDBA windows would suddenly be out of sync. So when that occured here, the last descriptor would be hit and the PCU logic would stop. It would only start again when the RX descriptor list was updated and the PCU RX engine was re-tickled. That wasn't being done, so RXEOL would be continuously asserted and no RX would continue. This patch introduces a new flag - sc->sc_kickpcu - which when set, signals the RX task to kick the PCU after its processed whatever packets it can. This way completed packets aren't discarded. In case some other task gets called which resets the hardware, don't update sc->sc_imask - instead, just update the hardware interrupt mask directly and let either ath_rx_proc() or ath_reset() restore the imask to its former setting. Note: this bug was only triggered when doing a whole lot of frame snooping with serial console IO in the RX task. This would defer interrupt processing enough to cause an RX descriptor overflow. It doesn't happen in normal conditions. Approved by: re (kib, blanket)

Merge in some fixes from the if_ath_tx branch. * Close down some of the kickpcu races, where the interrupt handler can and will run concurrently with the taskqueue. * Close down the TXQ active/completed race between the interrupt handler and the concurrently running tx completion taskqueue function. * Add some tx and rx interrupt count tracking, for debugging. * Fix the kickpcu logic in ath_rx_proc() to not simply drain and restart the TX queue - instead, assume the hardware isn't (too) confused and just restart RX DMA. This may break on previous chipsets, so if it does I'll add a HAL flag and conditionally handle this (ie, for broken chipsets, I'll just restore the "stop PCU / flush things / restart PCU" logic.) * Misc stuff Sponsored by: Hobnob, Inc.

Flesh out some slightly dirty reset/channel change serialisation code for the ath(4) driver. Currently, there's nothing stopping reset, channel change and general TX/RX from overlapping with each other. This wasn't a big deal with pre-11n traffic as it just results in some dropped frames. It's possible this may have also caused some inconsistencies and badly-setup hardware. Since locks can't be held across all of this (the Linux solution) due to LORs with the network stack locks, some state counter variables are used to track what parts of the code the driver is currently in. When the hardware is being reset, it disables the taskqueue and waits for pending interrupts, tx, rx and tx completion before it begins the reset or channel change. TX and RX both abort if called during an active reset or channel change. Finally, the reset path now doesn't flush frames if ATH_RESET_NOLOSS is set. Instead, completed TX and RX frames are passed back up to net80211 before the reset occurs. This is not without problems: * Raw frame xmit are just dropped, rather than placed on a queue. The net80211 stack should be the one which queues these frames rather than the driver. * It's all very messy. It'd be better if these hardware operations were serialised on some kind of work queue, rather than hoping they can be run in parallel. * The taskqueue block/unblock may occur in parallel with the newstate() function - which shuts down the taskqueue and restarts it once the new state is known. It's likely these operations should be refcounted so the taskqueue is restored once no other areas in the code wish to suspend operations. * .. interrupt disable/enable should likely be refcounted as well. With this work, the driver does not drop frames during stuck beacon or fatal errors and thus 11n traffic continues to run correctly. Default and full resets however do still drop frames and it's possible this may occur, causing traffic loss and session stalls. Sponsored by: Hobnob, Inc.

Stop embedding struct ifnet at the top of driver softcs. Instead the struct ifnet or the layer 2 common structure it was embedded in have been replaced with a struct ifnet pointer to be filled by a call to the new function, if_alloc(). The layer 2 common structure is also allocated via if_alloc() based on the interface type. It is hung off the new struct ifnet member, if_l2com. This change removes the size of these structures from the kernel ABI and will allow us to better manage them as interfaces come and go. Other changes of note: - Struct arpcom is no longer referenced in normal interface code. Instead the Ethernet address is accessed via the IFP2ENADDR() macro. To enforce this ac_enaddr has been renamed to _ac_enaddr. - The second argument to ether_ifattach is now always the mac address from driver private storage rather than sometimes being ac_enaddr.

In preparation for supporting 11n TX/RX properly, allow for TX queue draining and interface resets to be marked as ATH_RESET_DEFAULT, ATH_RESET_FULL, ATH_RESET_NOLOSS. Currently a reset is still a reset - ie, all tx/rx frames in the hardware queues are purged. This means that those frames will be lost to the 11n TX and RX aggregation state tracking, breaking AMPDU sessions. The (eventual) new semantics: * ATH_RESET_DEFAULT: full reset, this is the default for reset situations which I haven't yet figured out what they should be. * ATH_RESET_FULL: A full reset - for things such as channel changes. * ATH_RESET_NOLOSS: Don't flush TX/RX queues - handle pending RX frames and leave TX frames where they are; restart TX DMA from where it was.

Attempt to address some potential vap->iv_bss race conditions. There are unfortunately a number of situations where vap->iv_bss is changed or freed by some code in net80211. Because multiple threads can concurrently be doing work (and the vap->iv_bss access isn't at all done behind any kind of lock), it's quite possible that: * a change will occur in one thread - eg, by a call through ieee80211_sta_join1(); * a state change occurs in another thread - eg an RX is scheduled in the ath tasklet and it calls ieee80211_input_mimo_all(), which does dereference vap->iv_bss; * these two executing concurrently, causing things to explode. Another instance is ath_beacon_alloc() which takes an ieee80211_node *. It's called with the vap->iv_bss node from ath_newstate(). If the node has changed in the meantime (say it's been freed elsewhere) the reference that it grabbed _before_ refcounting it may be stale. I would _prefer_ that these sorts of things were serialised somewhere but that may be a bit much to ask. Instead, the best we can (currently) hope is that the underlying bss node is still (somewhat) valid. There is a related PR (kern/164382) described by the first case above. That should be fixed by properly serialising the RX path and reset path so an RX can't occur at the same time as the vap free/shutdown path. This is inspired by some related fixes in r212127.

Stop embedding struct ifnet at the top of driver softcs. Instead the struct ifnet or the layer 2 common structure it was embedded in have been replaced with a struct ifnet pointer to be filled by a call to the new function, if_alloc(). The layer 2 common structure is also allocated via if_alloc() based on the interface type. It is hung off the new struct ifnet member, if_l2com. This change removes the size of these structures from the kernel ABI and will allow us to better manage them as interfaces come and go. Other changes of note: - Struct arpcom is no longer referenced in normal interface code. Instead the Ethernet address is accessed via the IFP2ENADDR() macro. To enforce this ac_enaddr has been renamed to _ac_enaddr. - The second argument to ether_ifattach is now always the mac address from driver private storage rather than sometimes being ac_enaddr.

Flesh out the radar detection related operations for the ath driver. This is in no way a complete DFS/radar detection implementation! It merely creates an abstracted interface which allows for future development of the DFS radar detection code. Note: Net80211 already handles the bulk of the DFS machinery, all we need to do here is figure out that a radar event has occured and inform it as such. It then drives the DFS state engine for us. The "null" DFS radar detection module is included by default; it doesn't require a device line. This commit: * Adds a simple abstracted layer for radar detection state - sys/dev/ath/ath_dfs/; * Implements a null DFS module which doesn't do anything; (ie, implements the exact behaviour at the moment); * Adds hooks to the ath driver to process received radar events and gives the DFS module a chance to determine whether a radar has been detected.

New periodic calibration scheme needed for 11n parts that have multiple algorithms and potentially collect multiple samples. Instead of a single calibration interval we now have short and long intervals; the long interval roughly corresponds to the previous single interval. The short interval is used to speedup collection of samples and happens much quicker. We make calls using the short interval until we're told the calibration work is complete at which point we fallback to the long interval. In addition there is a much longer reset interval used to flush all calibration state and cause everthing to start anew. With these changes you can also disable calibration entirely by setting the long interval to zero.

Fix beacon transmission after a channel set. The DFS code was tickling the channel set directly whilst going through the state RUN -> CSA -> RUN. This only changed the channel; it didn't go via ath_reset(). However in this driver, a channel change always causes a chip reset, which resets the beacon timer configuration and interrupt setup. This meant that data would go out but as the beacon timers never fired, beacons would never be queued. The confusing part is that sometimes the state transition was RUN -> SCAN -> CAC -> RUN (with CSA being in there sometimes); going via SCAN would clear sc_beacons and thus the transition to RUN would reprogram beacon transmission. In case someone tries debugging why suspending a device currently beaconing (versus just RX'ing beacons which is what occurs in STA mode), add a silly comment which should hopefully land them at this commit message. The call to ath_hal_reset() will be clearing the beacon config and it may not be always reset.

In preparation for supporting 11n TX/RX properly, allow for TX queue draining and interface resets to be marked as ATH_RESET_DEFAULT, ATH_RESET_FULL, ATH_RESET_NOLOSS. Currently a reset is still a reset - ie, all tx/rx frames in the hardware queues are purged. This means that those frames will be lost to the 11n TX and RX aggregation state tracking, breaking AMPDU sessions. The (eventual) new semantics: * ATH_RESET_DEFAULT: full reset, this is the default for reset situations which I haven't yet figured out what they should be. * ATH_RESET_FULL: A full reset - for things such as channel changes. * ATH_RESET_NOLOSS: Don't flush TX/RX queues - handle pending RX frames and leave TX frames where they are; restart TX DMA from where it was.

Begin breaking apart the receive setup/stop path in preparation for more "correct" handling of frames in the RX pending queue during interface transitions. * ath_stoprecv() doesn't blank out the descriptor list - that's what ath_startrecv() does. So, change a comment to reflect that. * ath_stoprecv() does include a large (3ms) delay to let pending DMA complete. However, I'm under the impression that the stopdma hal method does check for a bit in the PCU to indicate DMA has stopped. So, to help with fast abort and restart, modify ath_stoprecv() to take a flag which indicates whether this is needed. * Modify the uses of ath_stoprecv() to pass in a flag to support the existing behaviour (ie, do the delay.) * Remove some duplicate PCU teardown code (which wasn't shutting down DMA, so it wasn't entirely correct..) and replace it with a call to ath_stoprecv(sc, 0) - which disables the DELAY call. The upshoot of this is now channel change doesn't simply drop completed frames on the floor, but instead it cleanly handles those frames. It still discards pending TX frames in the software and hardware queues as there's no (current) logic which forcibly recalculates the rate control information (or whether they're appropriate to be on the TX queue after a channel change), that'll come later. This still doesn't stop all the sources of queue stalls but it does tidy up some of the code duplication. To be complete, queue stalls now occur during normal behaviour - they only occur after some kind of broken behaviour causes an interface or node flush, upsetting the TX/RX BAW. Subsequent commits will incrementally fix these and other related issues. Sponsored by: Hobnob, Inc.

Flesh out some slightly dirty reset/channel change serialisation code for the ath(4) driver. Currently, there's nothing stopping reset, channel change and general TX/RX from overlapping with each other. This wasn't a big deal with pre-11n traffic as it just results in some dropped frames.

In preparation for supporting 11n TX/RX properly, allow for TX queue draining and interface resets to be marked as ATH_RESET_DEFAULT, ATH_RESET_FULL, ATH_RESET_NOLOSS. Currently a reset is still a reset - ie, all tx/rx frames in the hardware queues are purged. This means that those frames will be lost to the 11n TX and RX aggregation state tracking, breaking AMPDU sessions. The (eventual) new semantics: * ATH_RESET_DEFAULT: full reset, this is the default for reset situations which I haven't yet figured out what they should be. * ATH_RESET_FULL: A full reset - for things such as channel changes. * ATH_RESET_NOLOSS: Don't flush TX/RX queues - handle pending RX frames and leave TX frames where they are; restart TX DMA from where it was.

Some more various fixes, etc from my 11n branch. * When doing software TX queue handling and flush, it's possible that the deletion of a VAP (eg a STA shutdown) will queue a "STA Disassociate" frame whilst the interface is being deleted. The VAP is then deleted, and the frame ends up being queued to a node that is freed before it can be TX'ed. Things go awry at this point. There's no way at the present to avoid freeing the underlying node when the vap is being deleted. It's too late in the game. I suspect the real fix is to make sure the frame is software queued with no completion information somehow, so it doesn't link back to a node whose underlying VAP has been freed. For now, we'll just have to do this. * Add some comments showing what's going on. * Move an instance of the ATH_LOCK() around to protect the interrupt set.

Attempt to further fix some of the concurrency/reset issues that occur. * ath_reset() is being called in softclock context, which may have the thing sleep on a lock. To avoid this, since we really _shouldn't_ be sleeping on any locks, break out the no-loss reset path into a tasklet and call that from: + ath_calibrate() + ath_watchdog() This has the added advantage that it'll end up also doing the frame RX cleanup from within the taskqueue context, rather than the softclock context. * Shuffle around the taskqueue_block() call to be before we grab the lock and disable interrupts. The trouble here is that taskqueue_block() doesn't block currently queued (but not yet running) tasks so calling it doesn't guarantee no further tasks (that weren't running on _A_ CPU at the time of this call) will complete. Calling taskqueue_drain() on these tasks won't work because if any _other_ thread calls taskqueue_enqueue() for whatever reason, everything gets very angry and stops working. This slightly changes the race condition enough to let ath_rx_tasklet() run before we try disabling it, and thus quietens the warnings a bit. The (more) true solution will be doing something like the following: * having a taskqueue_blocked mask in ath_softc; * having an interrupt_blocked mask in ath_softc; * only calling taskqueue_drain() on each individual task _after_ the lock has been acquired - that way no further tasklet scheduling is going to occur. * Then once the tasks have been blocked _and_ the interrupt has been disabled, call taskqueue_drain() on each, ensuring that anything that _was_ scheduled or running is removed. The trouble is if something calls taskqueue_enqueue() on a task after taskqueue_blocked() has been called but BEFORE taskqueue_drain() has been called, ta_pending will be set to 1 and taskqueue_drain() will sit there stuck in msleep() until you hard-kill the machine.

Rework this ugly mess that tries to handle reset serialisation. Some users were reporting concurrent resets _were_ occuring - ie, either two ath_reset()s ran at the same time (likely one on each CPU) or ath_reset() versus ath_chan_change(). Instead, this now tries to grab the serialisation semaphore and will pause() for a while if it fails. It will always eventually succeed though and will log an error if it hits the recursion situation. All of this stuff needs to die a horrible death at some point and be replaced with a properly serialising method of programming this stuff (eg using the net80211 taskqueue for all of this stuff.) The trouble is figuring out how to handle the concurrent ioctl() based things without introducing more LORs (which is another reason why I haven't just wrapped all of this stuff in large, long-lived locks, a-la what Linux can get away with.) MFC after: Absolutely, positively never.

Flesh out some slightly dirty reset/channel change serialisation code for the ath(4) driver.

Since locks can't be held across all of this (the Linux solution) due to LORs with the network stack locks, some state counter variables are used to track what parts of the code the driver is currently in. When the hardware is being reset, it disables the taskqueue and waits for pending interrupts, tx, rx and tx completion before it begins the reset or channel change.

In preparation for supporting 11n TX/RX properly, allow for TX queue draining and interface resets to be marked as ATH_RESET_DEFAULT, ATH_RESET_FULL, ATH_RESET_NOLOSS. Currently a reset is still a reset - ie, all tx/rx frames in the hardware queues are purged. This means that those frames will be lost to the 11n TX and RX aggregation state tracking, breaking AMPDU sessions. The (eventual) new semantics: * ATH_RESET_DEFAULT: full reset, this is the default for reset situations which I haven't yet figured out what they should be. * ATH_RESET_FULL: A full reset - for things such as channel changes. * ATH_RESET_NOLOSS: Don't flush TX/RX queues - handle pending RX frames and leave TX frames where they are; restart TX DMA from where it was.

Overhaul regulatory support: o remove HAL_CHANNEL; convert the hal to use net80211 channels; this mostly involves mechanical changes to variable names and channel attribute macros o gut HAL_CHANNEL_PRIVATE as most of the contents are now redundant with the net80211 channel available o change api for ath_hal_init_channels: no more reglass id's, no more outdoor indication (was a noop), anM contents o add ath_hal_getchannels to have the hal construct a channel list without altering runtime state; this is used to retrieve the calibration list for the device in ath_getradiocaps o add ath_hal_set_channels to take a channel list and regulatory data from above and construct internal state to match (maps frequencies for 900MHz cards, setup for CTL lookups, etc) o compact the private channel table: we keep one private channel per frequency instead of one per HAL_CHANNEL; this gives a big space savings and potentially improves ani and calibration by sharing state (to be seen; didn't see anything in testing); a new config option AH_MAXCHAN controls the table size (default to 96 which was chosen to be ~3x the largest expected size) o shrink ani state and change to mirror private channel table (one entry per frequency indexed by ic_devdata) o move ani state flags to private channel state o remove country codes; use net80211 definitions instead o remove GSM regulatory support; it's no longer needed now that we pass in channel lists from above o consolidate ADHOC_NO_11A attribute with DISALLOW_ADHOC_11A o simplify initial channel list construction based on the EEPROM contents; we preserve country code support for now but may want to just fallback to a WWR sku and dispatch the discovered country code up to user space so the channel list can be constructed using the master regdomain tables o defer to net80211 for max antenna gain o eliminate sorting of internal channel table; now that we use ic_devdata as an index, table lookups are O(1) o remove internal copy of the country code; the public one is sufficient o remove AH_SUPPORT_11D conditional compilation; we always support 11d o remove ath_hal_ispublicsafetysku; not needed any more o remove ath_hal_isgsmsku; no more GSM stuff o move Conformance Test Limit (CTL) state from private channel to a lookup using per-band pointers cached in the private state block o remove regulatory class id support; was unused and belongs in net80211 o fix channel list construction to set IEEE80211_CHAN_NOADHOC, IEEE80211_CHAN_NOHOSTAP, and IEEE80211_CHAN_4MSXMIT o remove private channel flags CHANNEL_DFS and CHANNEL_4MS_LIMIT; these are now set in the constructed net80211 channel o store CHANNEL_NFCREQUIRED (Noise Floor Required) channel attribute in one of the driver-private flag bits of the net80211 channel o move 900MHz frequency mapping into the hal; the mapped frequency is stored in the private channel and used throughout the hal (no more mapping in the driver and/or net80211) o remove ath_hal_mhz2ieee; it's no longer needed as net80211 does the calculation and available in the net80211 channel o change noise floor calibration logic to work with compacted private channel table setup; this may require revisiting as we no longer can distinguish channel attributes (e.g. 11b vs 11g vs turbo) but since the data is used only to calculate status data we can live with it for now o change ah_getChipPowerLimits internal method to operate on a single channel instead of all channels in the private channel table o add ath_hal_gethwchannel to map a net80211 channel to a h/w frequency (always the same except for 900MHz channels) o add HAL_EEBADREG and HAL_EEBADCC status codes to better identify regulatory problems o remove CTRY_DEBUG and CTRY_DEFAULT enum's; these come from net80211 now o change ath_hal_getwirelessmodes to really return wireless modes supported by the hardware (was previously applying regulatory constraints) o return channel interference status with IEEE80211_CHANSTATE_CWINT (should change to a callback so hal api's can take const pointers) o remove some #define's no longer needed with the inclusion of <net80211/_ieee80211.h> Sponsored by: Carlson Wireless

Flesh out the radar detection related operations for the ath driver. This is in no way a complete DFS/radar detection implementation! It merely creates an abstracted interface which allows for future development of the DFS radar detection code. Note: Net80211 already handles the bulk of the DFS machinery, all we need to do here is figure out that a radar event has occured and inform it as such. It then drives the DFS state engine for us. The "null" DFS radar detection module is included by default; it doesn't require a device line. This commit: * Adds a simple abstracted layer for radar detection state - sys/dev/ath/ath_dfs/; * Implements a null DFS module which doesn't do anything; (ie, implements the exact behaviour at the moment); * Adds hooks to the ath driver to process received radar events and gives the DFS module a chance to determine whether a radar has been detected.

Flesh out some slightly dirty reset/channel change serialisation code for the ath(4) driver. Currently, there's nothing stopping reset, channel change and general TX/RX from overlapping with each other. This wasn't a big deal with pre-11n traffic as it just results in some dropped frames. It's possible this may have also caused some inconsistencies and badly-setup hardware. Since locks can't be held across all of this (the Linux solution) due to LORs with the network stack locks, some state counter variables are used to track what parts of the code the driver is currently in. When the hardware is being reset, it disables the taskqueue and waits for pending interrupts, tx, rx and tx completion before it begins the reset or channel change. TX and RX both abort if called during an active reset or channel change. Finally, the reset path now doesn't flush frames if ATH_RESET_NOLOSS is set. Instead, completed TX and RX frames are passed back up to net80211 before the reset occurs. This is not without problems: * Raw frame xmit are just dropped, rather than placed on a queue. The net80211 stack should be the one which queues these frames rather than the driver. * It's all very messy.

Flesh out some slightly dirty reset/channel change serialisation code for the ath(4) driver. Currently, there's nothing stopping reset, channel change and general TX/RX from overlapping with each other. This wasn't a big deal with pre-11n traffic as it just results in some dropped frames. It's possible this may have also caused some inconsistencies and badly-setup hardware. Since locks can't be held across all of this (the Linux solution) due to LORs with the network stack locks, some state counter variables are used to track what parts of the code the driver is currently in. When the hardware is being reset, it disables the taskqueue and waits for pending interrupts, tx, rx and tx completion before it begins the reset or channel change. TX and RX both abort if called during an active reset or channel change. Finally, the reset path now doesn't flush frames if ATH_RESET_NOLOSS is set. Instead, completed TX and RX frames are passed back up to net80211 before the reset occurs. This is not without problems: * Raw frame xmit are just dropped, rather than placed on a queue.

In preparation for supporting 11n TX/RX properly, allow for TX queue draining and interface resets to be marked as ATH_RESET_DEFAULT, ATH_RESET_FULL, ATH_RESET_NOLOSS. Currently a reset is still a reset - ie, all tx/rx frames in the hardware queues are purged. This means that those frames will be lost to the 11n TX and RX aggregation state tracking, breaking AMPDU sessions. The (eventual) new semantics: * ATH_RESET_DEFAULT: full reset, this is the default for reset situations which I haven't yet figured out what they should be. * ATH_RESET_FULL: A full reset - for things such as channel changes. * ATH_RESET_NOLOSS: Don't flush TX/RX queues - handle pending RX frames and leave TX frames where they are; restart TX DMA from where it was.

Update 802.11 wireless support: o major overhaul of the way channels are handled: channels are now fully enumerated and uniquely identify the operating characteristics; these changes are visible to user applications which require changes o make scanning support independent of the state machine to enable background scanning and roaming o move scanning support into loadable modules based on the operating mode to enable different policies and reduce the memory footprint on systems w/ constrained resources o add background scanning in station mode (no support for adhoc/ibss mode yet) o significantly speedup sta mode scanning with a variety of techniques o add roaming support when background scanning is supported; for now we use a simple algorithm to trigger a roam: we threshold the rssi and tx rate, if either drops too low we try to roam to a new ap o add tx fragmentation support o add first cut at 802.11n support: this code works with forthcoming drivers but is incomplete; it's included now to establish a baseline for other drivers to be developed and for user applications o adjust max_linkhdr et. al. to reflect 802.11 requirements; this eliminates prepending mbufs for traffic generated locally o add support for Atheros protocol extensions; mainly the fast frames encapsulation (note this can be used with any card that can tx+rx large frames correctly) o add sta support for ap's that beacon both WPA1+2 support o change all data types from bsd-style to posix-style o propagate noise floor data from drivers to net80211 and on to user apps o correct various issues in the sta mode state machine related to handling authentication and association failures o enable the addition of sta mode power save support for drivers that need net80211 support (not in this commit) o remove old WI compatibility ioctls (wicontrol is officially dead) o change the data structures returned for get sta info and get scan results so future additions will not break user apps o fixed tx rate is now maintained internally as an ieee rate and not an index into the rate set; this needs to be extended to deal with multi-mode operation o add extended channel specifications to radiotap to enable 11n sniffing Drivers: o ath: add support for bg scanning, tx fragmentation, fast frames, dynamic turbo (lightly tested), 11n (sniffing only and needs new hal) o awi: compile tested only o ndis: lightly tested o ipw: lightly tested o iwi: add support for bg scanning (well tested but may have some rough edges) o ral, ural, rum: add suppoort for bg scanning, calibrate rssi data o wi: lightly tested This work is based on contributions by Atheros, kmacy, sephe, thompsa, mlaier, kevlo, and others.

Propagate rename of IFF_OACTIVE and IFF_RUNNING to IFF_DRV_OACTIVE and IFF_DRV_RUNNING, as well as the move from ifnet.if_flags to ifnet.if_drv_flags. Device drivers are now responsible for synchronizing access to these flags, as they are in if_drv_flags. This helps prevent races between the network stack and device driver in maintaining the interface flags field. Many __FreeBSD__ and __FreeBSD_version checks maintained and continued; some less so.

Flesh out some slightly dirty reset/channel change serialisation code for the ath(4) driver. Currently, there's nothing stopping reset, channel change and general TX/RX from overlapping with each other. This wasn't a big deal with pre-11n traffic as it just results in some dropped frames. It's possible this may have also caused some inconsistencies and badly-setup hardware. Since locks can't be held across all of this (the Linux solution) due to LORs with the network stack locks, some state counter variables are used to track what parts of the code the driver is currently in. When the hardware is being reset, it disables the taskqueue and waits for pending interrupts, tx, rx and tx completion before it begins the reset or channel change. TX and RX both abort if called during an active reset or channel change. Finally, the reset path now doesn't flush frames if ATH_RESET_NOLOSS is set. Instead, completed TX and RX frames are passed back up to net80211 before the reset occurs. This is not without problems: * Raw frame xmit are just dropped, rather than placed on a queue. The net80211 stack should be the one which queues these frames rather than the driver. * It's all very messy. It'd be better if these hardware operations were serialised on some kind of work queue, rather than hoping they can be run in parallel. * The taskqueue block/unblock may occur in parallel with the newstate() function - which shuts down the taskqueue and restarts it once the new state is known. It's likely these operations should be refcounted so the taskqueue is restored once no other areas in the code wish to suspend operations. * .. interrupt disable/enable should likely be refcounted as well. With this work, the driver does not drop frames during stuck beacon or fatal errors and thus 11n traffic continues to run correctly. Default and full resets however do still drop frames and it's possible this may occur, causing traffic loss and session stalls. Sponsored by: Hobnob, Inc.

TDMA support for long distance point-to-point links using ath devices: o add net80211 support for a tdma vap that is built on top of the existing adhoc-demo support o add tdma scheduling of frame transmission to the ath driver; it's conceivable other devices might be capable of this too in which case they can make use of the 802.11 protocol additions etc. o add minor bits to user tools that need to know: ifconfig to setup and configure, new statistics in athstats, and new debug mask bits While the architecture can support >2 slots in a TDMA BSS the current design is intended (and tested) for only 2 slots.

Hoist 802.11 encapsulation up into net80211: o call ieee80211_encap in ieee80211_start so frames passed down to drivers are already encapsulated o remove ieee80211_encap calls in drivers o fixup wi so it recreates the 802.3 head it requires from the 802.11 header contents o move fast-frame aggregation from ath to net80211 (conditional on IEEE80211_SUPPORT_SUPERG): - aggregation is now done in ieee80211_start; it is enabled when the packets/sec exceeds ieee80211_ffppsmin (net.wlan.ffppsmin) and frames are held on a staging queue according to ieee80211_ffagemax (net.wlan.ffagemax) to wait for a frame to combine with - drivers must call back to age/flush the staging queue (ath does this on tx done, at swba, and on rx according to the state of the tx queues and/or the contents of the staging queue) - remove fast-frame-related data structures from ath - add ieee80211_ff_node_init and ieee80211_ff_node_cleanup to handle per-node fast-frames state (we reuse 11n tx ampdu state) o change ieee80211_encap calling convention to include an explicit vap so frames coming through a WDS vap are recognized w/o setting M_WDS With these changes any device able to tx/rx 3Kbyte+ frames can use fast-frames.

Update 802.11 wireless support: o major overhaul of the way channels are handled: channels are now fully enumerated and uniquely identify the operating characteristics; these changes are visible to user applications which require changes o make scanning support independent of the state machine to enable background scanning and roaming o move scanning support into loadable modules based on the operating mode to enable different policies and reduce the memory footprint on systems w/ constrained resources o add background scanning in station mode (no support for adhoc/ibss mode yet) o significantly speedup sta mode scanning with a variety of techniques o add roaming support when background scanning is supported; for now we use a simple algorithm to trigger a roam: we threshold the rssi and tx rate, if either drops too low we try to roam to a new ap o add tx fragmentation support o add first cut at 802.11n support: this code works with forthcoming drivers but is incomplete; it's included now to establish a baseline for other drivers to be developed and for user applications o adjust max_linkhdr et. al. to reflect 802.11 requirements; this eliminates prepending mbufs for traffic generated locally o add support for Atheros protocol extensions; mainly the fast frames encapsulation (note this can be used with any card that can tx+rx large frames correctly) o add sta support for ap's that beacon both WPA1+2 support o change all data types from bsd-style to posix-style o propagate noise floor data from drivers to net80211 and on to user apps o correct various issues in the sta mode state machine related to handling authentication and association failures o enable the addition of sta mode power save support for drivers that need net80211 support (not in this commit) o remove old WI compatibility ioctls (wicontrol is officially dead) o change the data structures returned for get sta info and get scan results so future additions will not break user apps o fixed tx rate is now maintained internally as an ieee rate and not an index into the rate set; this needs to be extended to deal with multi-mode operation o add extended channel specifications to radiotap to enable 11n sniffing Drivers: o ath: add support for bg scanning, tx fragmentation, fast frames, dynamic turbo (lightly tested), 11n (sniffing only and needs new hal) o awi: compile tested only o ndis: lightly tested o ipw: lightly tested o iwi: add support for bg scanning (well tested but may have some rough edges) o ral, ural, rum: add suppoort for bg scanning, calibrate rssi data o wi: lightly tested This work is based on contributions by Atheros, kmacy, sephe, thompsa, mlaier, kevlo, and others.

Flesh out some slightly dirty reset/channel change serialisation code for the ath(4) driver. Currently, there's nothing stopping reset, channel change and general TX/RX from overlapping with each other. This wasn't a big deal with pre-11n traffic as it just results in some dropped frames. It's possible this may have also caused some inconsistencies and badly-setup hardware. Since locks can't be held across all of this (the Linux solution) due to LORs with the network stack locks, some state counter variables are used to track what parts of the code the driver is currently in. When the hardware is being reset, it disables the taskqueue and waits for pending interrupts, tx, rx and tx completion before it begins the reset or channel change. TX and RX both abort if called during an active reset or channel change. Finally, the reset path now doesn't flush frames if ATH_RESET_NOLOSS is set. Instead, completed TX and RX frames are passed back up to net80211 before the reset occurs. This is not without problems: * Raw frame xmit are just dropped, rather than placed on a queue. The net80211 stack should be the one which queues these frames rather than the driver. * It's all very messy. It'd be better if these hardware operations were serialised on some kind of work queue, rather than hoping they can be run in parallel. * The taskqueue block/unblock may occur in parallel with the newstate() function - which shuts down the taskqueue and restarts it once the new state is known. It's likely these operations should be refcounted so the taskqueue is restored once no other areas in the code wish to suspend operations. * .. interrupt disable/enable should likely be refcounted as well. With this work, the driver does not drop frames during stuck beacon or fatal errors and thus 11n traffic continues to run correctly. Default and full resets however do still drop frames and it's possible this may occur, causing traffic loss and session stalls. Sponsored by: Hobnob, Inc.

Implementation of the upcoming Wireless Mesh standard, 802.11s, on the net80211 wireless stack. This work is based on the March 2009 D3.0 draft standard. This standard is expected to become final next year. This includes two main net80211 modules, ieee80211_mesh.c which deals with peer link management, link metric calculation, routing table control and mesh configuration and ieee80211_hwmp.c which deals with the actually routing process on the mesh network. HWMP is the mandatory routing protocol on by the mesh standard, but others, such as RA-OLSR, can be implemented. Authentication and encryption are not implemented. There are several scripts under tools/tools/net80211/scripts that can be used to test different mesh network topologies and they also teach you how to setup a mesh vap (for the impatient: ifconfig wlan0 create wlandev ... wlanmode mesh). A new build option is available: IEEE80211_SUPPORT_MESH and it's enabled by default on GENERIC kernels for i386, amd64, sparc64 and pc98. Drivers that support mesh networks right now are: ath, ral and mwl. More information at: http://wiki.freebsd.org/WifiMesh Please note that this work is experimental. Also, please note that bridging a mesh vap with another network interface is not yet supported. Many thanks to the FreeBSD Foundation for sponsoring this project and to Sam Leffler for his support. Also, I would like to thank Gateworks Corporation for sending me a Cambria board which was used during the development of this project.

Attempt to further fix some of the concurrency/reset issues that occur. * ath_reset() is being called in softclock context, which may have the thing sleep on a lock. To avoid this, since we really _shouldn't_ be sleeping on any locks, break out the no-loss reset path into a tasklet and call that from: + ath_calibrate() + ath_watchdog() This has the added advantage that it'll end up also doing the frame RX cleanup from within the taskqueue context, rather than the softclock context. * Shuffle around the taskqueue_block() call to be before we grab the lock and disable interrupts. The trouble here is that taskqueue_block() doesn't block currently queued (but not yet running) tasks so calling it doesn't guarantee no further tasks (that weren't running on _A_ CPU at the time of this call) will complete. Calling taskqueue_drain() on these tasks won't work because if any _other_ thread calls taskqueue_enqueue() for whatever reason, everything gets very angry and stops working. This slightly changes the race condition enough to let ath_rx_tasklet() run before we try disabling it, and thus quietens the warnings a bit. The (more) true solution will be doing something like the following: * having a taskqueue_blocked mask in ath_softc; * having an interrupt_blocked mask in ath_softc; * only calling taskqueue_drain() on each individual task _after_ the lock has been acquired - that way no further tasklet scheduling is going to occur. * Then once the tasks have been blocked _and_ the interrupt has been disabled, call taskqueue_drain() on each, ensuring that anything that _was_ scheduled or running is removed. The trouble is if something calls taskqueue_enqueue() on a task after taskqueue_blocked() has been called but BEFORE taskqueue_drain() has been called, ta_pending will be set to 1 and taskqueue_drain() will sit there stuck in msleep() until you hard-kill the machine.

Stop embedding struct ifnet at the top of driver softcs. Instead the struct ifnet or the layer 2 common structure it was embedded in have been replaced with a struct ifnet pointer to be filled by a call to the new function, if_alloc(). The layer 2 common structure is also allocated via if_alloc() based on the interface type. It is hung off the new struct ifnet member, if_l2com. This change removes the size of these structures from the kernel ABI and will allow us to better manage them as interfaces come and go. Other changes of note: - Struct arpcom is no longer referenced in normal interface code. Instead the Ethernet address is accessed via the IFP2ENADDR() macro. To enforce this ac_enaddr has been renamed to _ac_enaddr. - The second argument to ether_ifattach is now always the mac address from driver private storage rather than sometimes being ac_enaddr.

Some more various fixes, etc from my 11n branch. * When doing software TX queue handling and flush, it's possible that the deletion of a VAP (eg a STA shutdown) will queue a "STA Disassociate" frame whilst the interface is being deleted. The VAP is then deleted, and the frame ends up being queued to a node that is freed before it can be TX'ed. Things go awry at this point. There's no way at the present to avoid freeing the underlying node when the vap is being deleted. It's too late in the game. I suspect the real fix is to make sure the frame is software queued with no completion information somehow, so it doesn't link back to a node whose underlying VAP has been freed. For now, we'll just have to do this. * Add some comments showing what's going on. * Move an instance of the ATH_LOCK() around to protect the interrupt set.

In preparation for supporting 11n TX/RX properly, allow for TX queue draining and interface resets to be marked as ATH_RESET_DEFAULT, ATH_RESET_FULL, ATH_RESET_NOLOSS. Currently a reset is still a reset - ie, all tx/rx frames in the hardware queues are purged. This means that those frames will be lost to the 11n TX and RX aggregation state tracking, breaking AMPDU sessions. The (eventual) new semantics: * ATH_RESET_DEFAULT: full reset, this is the default for reset situations which I haven't yet figured out what they should be. * ATH_RESET_FULL: A full reset - for things such as channel changes. * ATH_RESET_NOLOSS: Don't flush TX/RX queues - handle pending RX frames and leave TX frames where they are; restart TX DMA from where it was.

Implement the 4KB split transaction workaround for Merlin (AR9280). The AR9280 apparently has an issue with descriptors which straddle a page boundary (4k). I'm not yet sure whether I should use PAGE_SIZE in the calculations or whether I should use 4096; the reference code uses 4096. This patch fiddles with descriptor allocation so a descriptor entry doesn't straddle a 4kb address boundary. The descriptor memory allocation is made larger to contain extra descriptors and then the descriptor address is advanced to the next 4kb boundary where needed. I've tested this both on Merlin (AR9280) and non-Merlin (in this case, AR9160.) Obtained from: Linux, Atheros Approved by: re (kib)

Change the descriptor logic to use bf_lastds to point to the last descriptor, rather than using the maths involving bf_desc[bf_nseg - 1]. When doing TX aggregation, the status will be updated in the -final- descriptor of the -final- subframe in an aggregate. Thus bf_lastds may point to the last descriptor in a completely different ath_buf. Sponsored by: Hobnob, Inc.

Implement a global (all non-mgmt traffic) TX ath_buf limitation when ath_start() is called. This (defaults to 10 frames) gives for a little headway in the TX ath_buf allocation, so buffer cloning is still possible. This requires a lot omre experimenting and tuning. It also doesn't stop a node/TID from consuming all of the available ath_buf's, especially when the node is going through high packet loss or only talking at a low TX rate. It also doesn't stop a paused TID from taking all of the ath_bufs. I'll look at fixing that up in subsequent commits. PR: kern/168170

Introduce TX aggregation and software TX queue management for Atheros AR5416 and later wireless devices. This is a very large commit - the complete history can be found in the user/adrian/if_ath_tx branch. Legacy (ie, pre-AR5416) devices also use the per-software TXQ support and (in theory) can support non-aggregation ADDBA sessions. However, the net80211 stack doesn't currently support this. In summary: TX path: * queued frames normally go onto a per-TID, per-node queue * some special frames (eg ADDBA control frames) are thrown directly onto the relevant hardware queue so they can go out before any software queued frames are queued. * Add methods to create, suspend, resume and tear down an aggregation session. * Add in software retransmission of both normal and aggregate frames. * Add in completion handling of aggregate frames, including parsing the block ack bitmap provided by the hardware. * Write an aggregation function which can assemble frames into an aggregate based on the selected rate control and channel configuration. * The per-TID queues are locked based on their target hardware TX queue. This matches what ath9k/atheros does, and thus simplified porting over some of the aggregation logic. * When doing TX aggregation, stick the sequence number allocation in the TX path rather than net80211 TX path, and protect it by the TXQ lock. Rate control: * Delay rate control selection until the frame is about to be queued to the hardware, so retried frames can have their rate control choices changed. Frames with a static rate control selection have that applied before each TX, just to simplify the TX path (ie, not have "static" and "dynamic" rate control special cased.) * Teach ath_rate_sample about aggregates - both completion and errors. * Add an EWMA for tracking what the current "good" MCS rate is based on failure rates. Misc: * Introduce a bunch of dirty hacks and workarounds so TID mapping and net80211 frame inspection can be kept out of the net80211 layer. Because of the way this code works (and it's from Atheros and Linux ath9k), there is a consistent, 1:1 mapping between TID and AC. So we need to ensure that frames going to a specific TID will _always_ end up on the right AC, and vice versa, or the completion/locking will simply get very confused. I plan on addressing this mess in the future. Known issues: * There is no BAR frame transmission just yet. A whole lot of tidying up needs to occur before BAR frame TX can occur in the "correct" place - ie, once the TID TX queue has been drained. * Interface reset/purge/etc results in frames in the TX and RX queues being removed. This creates holes in the sequence numbers being assigned and the TX/RX AMPDU code (on either side) just hangs. * There's no filtered frame support at the present moment, so stations going into power saving mode will simply have a number of frames dropped - likely resulting in a traffic "hang". * Raw frame TX is going to just not function with 11n aggregation. Likely this needs to be modified to always override the sequence number if the frame is going into an aggregation session. However, general raw frame injection currently doesn't work in general in net80211, so let's just ignore this for now until this is sorted out. * HT protection is just not implemented and won't be until the above is sorted out. In addition, the AR5416 has issues RTS protecting large aggregates (anything >8k), so the work around needs to be ported and tested. Thus, this will be put on hold until the above work is complete. * The rate control module 'sample' is the only currently supported module; onoe/amrr haven't been tested and have likely bit rotted a little. I'll follow up with some commits to make them work again for non-11n rates, but they won't be updated to handle 11n and aggregation. If someone wishes to do so then they're welcome to send along patches. * .. and "sample" doesn't really do a good job of 11n TX. Specifically, the metrics used (packet TX time and failure/success rates) isn't as useful for 11n. It's likely that it should be extended to take into account the aggregate throughput possible and then choose a rate which maximises that. Ie, it may be acceptable for a higher MCS rate with a higher failure to be used if it gives a more acceptable throughput/latency then a lower MCS rate @ a lower error rate. Again, patches will be gratefully accepted. Because of this, ATH_ENABLE_11N is still not enabled by default. Sponsored by: Hobnob, Inc. Obtained from: Linux, Atheros

Overhaul regulatory support: o remove HAL_CHANNEL; convert the hal to use net80211 channels; this mostly involves mechanical changes to variable names and channel attribute macros o gut HAL_CHANNEL_PRIVATE as most of the contents are now redundant with the net80211 channel available o change api for ath_hal_init_channels: no more reglass id's, no more outdoor indication (was a noop), anM contents o add ath_hal_getchannels to have the hal construct a channel list without altering runtime state; this is used to retrieve the calibration list for the device in ath_getradiocaps o add ath_hal_set_channels to take a channel list and regulatory data from above and construct internal state to match (maps frequencies for 900MHz cards, setup for CTL lookups, etc) o compact the private channel table: we keep one private channel per frequency instead of one per HAL_CHANNEL; this gives a big space savings and potentially improves ani and calibration by sharing state (to be seen; didn't see anything in testing); a new config option AH_MAXCHAN controls the table size (default to 96 which was chosen to be ~3x the largest expected size) o shrink ani state and change to mirror private channel table (one entry per frequency indexed by ic_devdata) o move ani state flags to private channel state o remove country codes; use net80211 definitions instead o remove GSM regulatory support; it's no longer needed now that we pass in channel lists from above o consolidate ADHOC_NO_11A attribute with DISALLOW_ADHOC_11A o simplify initial channel list construction based on the EEPROM contents; we preserve country code support for now but may want to just fallback to a WWR sku and dispatch the discovered country code up to user space so the channel list can be constructed using the master regdomain tables o defer to net80211 for max antenna gain o eliminate sorting of internal channel table; now that we use ic_devdata as an index, table lookups are O(1) o remove internal copy of the country code; the public one is sufficient o remove AH_SUPPORT_11D conditional compilation; we always support 11d o remove ath_hal_ispublicsafetysku; not needed any more o remove ath_hal_isgsmsku; no more GSM stuff o move Conformance Test Limit (CTL) state from private channel to a lookup using per-band pointers cached in the private state block o remove regulatory class id support; was unused and belongs in net80211 o fix channel list construction to set IEEE80211_CHAN_NOADHOC, IEEE80211_CHAN_NOHOSTAP, and IEEE80211_CHAN_4MSXMIT o remove private channel flags CHANNEL_DFS and CHANNEL_4MS_LIMIT; these are now set in the constructed net80211 channel o store CHANNEL_NFCREQUIRED (Noise Floor Required) channel attribute in one of the driver-private flag bits of the net80211 channel o move 900MHz frequency mapping into the hal; the mapped frequency is stored in the private channel and used throughout the hal (no more mapping in the driver and/or net80211) o remove ath_hal_mhz2ieee; it's no longer needed as net80211 does the calculation and available in the net80211 channel o change noise floor calibration logic to work with compacted private channel table setup; this may require revisiting as we no longer can distinguish channel attributes (e.g. 11b vs 11g vs turbo) but since the data is used only to calculate status data we can live with it for now o change ah_getChipPowerLimits internal method to operate on a single channel instead of all channels in the private channel table o add ath_hal_gethwchannel to map a net80211 channel to a h/w frequency (always the same except for 900MHz channels) o add HAL_EEBADREG and HAL_EEBADCC status codes to better identify regulatory problems o remove CTRY_DEBUG and CTRY_DEFAULT enum's; these come from net80211 now o change ath_hal_getwirelessmodes to really return wireless modes supported by the hardware (was previously applying regulatory constraints) o return channel interference status with IEEE80211_CHANSTATE_CWINT (should change to a callback so hal api's can take const pointers) o remove some #define's no longer needed with the inclusion of <net80211/_ieee80211.h> Sponsored by: Carlson Wireless

Some more various fixes, etc from my 11n branch. * When doing software TX queue handling and flush, it's possible that the deletion of a VAP (eg a STA shutdown) will queue a "STA Disassociate" frame whilst the interface is being deleted. The VAP is then deleted, and the frame ends up being queued to a node that is freed before it can be TX'ed. Things go awry at this point. There's no way at the present to avoid freeing the underlying node when the vap is being deleted. It's too late in the game. I suspect the real fix is to make sure the frame is software queued with no completion information somehow, so it doesn't link back to a node whose underlying VAP has been freed. For now, we'll just have to do this. * Add some comments showing what's going on. * Move an instance of the ATH_LOCK() around to protect the interrupt set. I'll worry about changing that to a PCU lock later on once the 11n code is in the tree. Sponsored by: Hobnob, Inc.

Some more various fixes, etc from my 11n branch. * When doing software TX queue handling and flush, it's possible that the deletion of a VAP (eg a STA shutdown) will queue a "STA Disassociate" frame whilst the interface is being deleted. The VAP is then deleted, and the frame ends up being queued to a node that is freed before it can be TX'ed. Things go awry at this point. There's no way at the present to avoid freeing the underlying node when the vap is being deleted. It's too late in the game. I suspect the real fix is to make sure the frame is software queued with no completion information somehow, so it doesn't link back to a node whose underlying VAP has been freed. For now, we'll just have to do this. * Add some comments showing what's going on. * Move an instance of the ATH_LOCK() around to protect the interrupt set. I'll worry about changing that to a PCU lock later on once the 11n code is in the tree. Sponsored by: Hobnob, Inc.

Introduce TX aggregation and software TX queue management for Atheros AR5416 and later wireless devices. This is a very large commit - the complete history can be found in the user/adrian/if_ath_tx branch. Legacy (ie, pre-AR5416) devices also use the per-software TXQ support and (in theory) can support non-aggregation ADDBA sessions. However, the net80211 stack doesn't currently support this. In summary: TX path: * queued frames normally go onto a per-TID, per-node queue * some special frames (eg ADDBA control frames) are thrown directly onto the relevant hardware queue so they can go out before any software queued frames are queued. * Add methods to create, suspend, resume and tear down an aggregation session. * Add in software retransmission of both normal and aggregate frames. * Add in completion handling of aggregate frames, including parsing the block ack bitmap provided by the hardware. * Write an aggregation function which can assemble frames into an aggregate based on the selected rate control and channel configuration. * The per-TID queues are locked based on their target hardware TX queue. This matches what ath9k/atheros does, and thus simplified porting over some of the aggregation logic. * When doing TX aggregation, stick the sequence number allocation in the TX path rather than net80211 TX path, and protect it by the TXQ lock. Rate control: * Delay rate control selection until the frame is about to be queued to the hardware, so retried frames can have their rate control choices changed. Frames with a static rate control selection have that applied before each TX, just to simplify the TX path (ie, not have "static" and "dynamic" rate control special cased.) * Teach ath_rate_sample about aggregates - both completion and errors. * Add an EWMA for tracking what the current "good" MCS rate is based on failure rates. Misc: * Introduce a bunch of dirty hacks and workarounds so TID mapping and net80211 frame inspection can be kept out of the net80211 layer. Because of the way this code works (and it's from Atheros and Linux ath9k), there is a consistent, 1:1 mapping between TID and AC. So we need to ensure that frames going to a specific TID will _always_ end up on the right AC, and vice versa, or the completion/locking will simply get very confused. I plan on addressing this mess in the future. Known issues: * There is no BAR frame transmission just yet. A whole lot of tidying up needs to occur before BAR frame TX can occur in the "correct" place - ie, once the TID TX queue has been drained. * Interface reset/purge/etc results in frames in the TX and RX queues being removed. This creates holes in the sequence numbers being assigned and the TX/RX AMPDU code (on either side) just hangs. * There's no filtered frame support at the present moment, so stations going into power saving mode will simply have a number of frames dropped - likely resulting in a traffic "hang". * Raw frame TX is going to just not function with 11n aggregation. Likely this needs to be modified to always override the sequence number if the frame is going into an aggregation session. However, general raw frame injection currently doesn't work in general in net80211, so let's just ignore this for now until this is sorted out. * HT protection is just not implemented and won't be until the above is sorted out. In addition, the AR5416 has issues RTS protecting large aggregates (anything >8k), so the work around needs to be ported and tested. Thus, this will be put on hold until the above work is complete. * The rate control module 'sample' is the only currently supported module; onoe/amrr haven't been tested and have likely bit rotted a little. I'll follow up with some commits to make them work again for non-11n rates, but they won't be updated to handle 11n and aggregation. If someone wishes to do so then they're welcome to send along patches. * .. and "sample" doesn't really do a good job of 11n TX. Specifically, the metrics used (packet TX time and failure/success rates) isn't as useful for 11n. It's likely that it should be extended to take into account the aggregate throughput possible and then choose a rate which maximises that. Ie, it may be acceptable for a higher MCS rate with a higher failure to be used if it gives a more acceptable throughput/latency then a lower MCS rate @ a lower error rate. Again, patches will be gratefully accepted. Because of this, ATH_ENABLE_11N is still not enabled by default. Sponsored by: Hobnob, Inc. Obtained from: Linux, Atheros

Introduce TX aggregation and software TX queue management for Atheros AR5416 and later wireless devices. This is a very large commit - the complete history can be found in the user/adrian/if_ath_tx branch. Legacy (ie, pre-AR5416) devices also use the per-software TXQ support and (in theory) can support non-aggregation ADDBA sessions. However, the net80211 stack doesn't currently support this. In summary: TX path: * queued frames normally go onto a per-TID, per-node queue * some special frames (eg ADDBA control frames) are thrown directly onto the relevant hardware queue so they can go out before any software queued frames are queued. * Add methods to create, suspend, resume and tear down an aggregation session. * Add in software retransmission of both normal and aggregate frames. * Add in completion handling of aggregate frames, including parsing the block ack bitmap provided by the hardware. * Write an aggregation function which can assemble frames into an aggregate based on the selected rate control and channel configuration. * The per-TID queues are locked based on their target hardware TX queue. This matches what ath9k/atheros does, and thus simplified porting over some of the aggregation logic. * When doing TX aggregation, stick the sequence number allocation in the TX path rather than net80211 TX path, and protect it by the TXQ lock. Rate control: * Delay rate control selection until the frame is about to be queued to the hardware, so retried frames can have their rate control choices changed. Frames with a static rate control selection have that applied before each TX, just to simplify the TX path (ie, not have "static" and "dynamic" rate control special cased.) * Teach ath_rate_sample about aggregates - both completion and errors. * Add an EWMA for tracking what the current "good" MCS rate is based on failure rates. Misc: * Introduce a bunch of dirty hacks and workarounds so TID mapping and net80211 frame inspection can be kept out of the net80211 layer. Because of the way this code works (and it's from Atheros and Linux ath9k), there is a consistent, 1:1 mapping between TID and AC. So we need to ensure that frames going to a specific TID will _always_ end up on the right AC, and vice versa, or the completion/locking will simply get very confused. I plan on addressing this mess in the future. Known issues: * There is no BAR frame transmission just yet. A whole lot of tidying up needs to occur before BAR frame TX can occur in the "correct" place - ie, once the TID TX queue has been drained. * Interface reset/purge/etc results in frames in the TX and RX queues being removed. This creates holes in the sequence numbers being assigned and the TX/RX AMPDU code (on either side) just hangs. * There's no filtered frame support at the present moment, so stations going into power saving mode will simply have a number of frames dropped - likely resulting in a traffic "hang". * Raw frame TX is going to just not function with 11n aggregation. Likely this needs to be modified to always override the sequence number if the frame is going into an aggregation session. However, general raw frame injection currently doesn't work in general in net80211, so let's just ignore this for now until this is sorted out. * HT protection is just not implemented and won't be until the above is sorted out. In addition, the AR5416 has issues RTS protecting large aggregates (anything >8k), so the work around needs to be ported and tested. Thus, this will be put on hold until the above work is complete. * The rate control module 'sample' is the only currently supported module; onoe/amrr haven't been tested and have likely bit rotted a little. I'll follow up with some commits to make them work again for non-11n rates, but they won't be updated to handle 11n and aggregation. If someone wishes to do so then they're welcome to send along patches. * .. and "sample" doesn't really do a good job of 11n TX. Specifically, the metrics used (packet TX time and failure/success rates) isn't as useful for 11n. It's likely that it should be extended to take into account the aggregate throughput possible and then choose a rate which maximises that. Ie, it may be acceptable for a higher MCS rate with a higher failure to be used if it gives a more acceptable throughput/latency then a lower MCS rate @ a lower error rate. Again, patches will be gratefully accepted. Because of this, ATH_ENABLE_11N is still not enabled by default. Sponsored by: Hobnob, Inc. Obtained from: Linux, Atheros

This is a very large commit - the complete history can be found in the user/adrian/if_ath_tx branch. Legacy (ie, pre-AR5416) devices also use the per-software TXQ support and (in theory) can support non-aggregation ADDBA sessions. However, the net80211 stack doesn't currently support this. In summary: TX path: * queued frames normally go onto a per-TID, per-node queue * some special frames (eg ADDBA control frames) are thrown directly onto the relevant hardware queue so they can go out before any software queued frames are queued. * Add methods to create, suspend, resume and tear down an aggregation session. * Add in software retransmission of both normal and aggregate frames. * Add in completion handling of aggregate frames, including parsing the block ack bitmap provided by the hardware. * Write an aggregation function which can assemble frames into an aggregate based on the selected rate control and channel configuration. * The per-TID queues are locked based on their target hardware TX queue. This matches what ath9k/atheros does, and thus simplified porting over some of the aggregation logic. * When doing TX aggregation, stick the sequence number allocation in the TX path rather than net80211 TX path, and protect it by the TXQ lock. Rate control: * Delay rate control selection until the frame is about to be queued to the hardware, so retried frames can have their rate control choices changed. Frames with a static rate control selection have that applied before each TX, just to simplify the TX path (ie, not have "static" and "dynamic" rate control special cased.) * Teach ath_rate_sample about aggregates - both completion and errors. * Add an EWMA for tracking what the current "good" MCS rate is based on failure rates. Misc: * Introduce a bunch of dirty hacks and workarounds so TID mapping and net80211 frame inspection can be kept out of the net80211 layer. Because of the way this code works (and it's from Atheros and Linux ath9k), there is a consistent, 1:1 mapping between TID and AC. So we need to ensure that frames going to a specific TID will _always_ end up on the right AC, and vice versa, or the completion/locking will simply get very confused. I plan on addressing this mess in the future. Known issues: * There is no BAR frame transmission just yet. A whole lot of tidying up needs to occur before BAR frame TX can occur in the "correct" place - ie, once the TID TX queue has been drained. * Interface reset/purge/etc results in frames in the TX and RX queues being removed. This creates holes in the sequence numbers being assigned and the TX/RX AMPDU code (on either side) just hangs. * There's no filtered frame support at the present moment, so stations going into power saving mode will simply have a number of frames dropped - likely resulting in a traffic "hang". * Raw frame TX is going to just not function with 11n aggregation. Likely this needs to be modified to always override the sequence number if the frame is going into an aggregation session. However, general raw frame injection currently doesn't work in general in net80211, so let's just ignore this for now until this is sorted out. * HT protection is just not implemented and won't be until the above is sorted out. In addition, the AR5416 has issues RTS protecting large aggregates (anything >8k), so the work around needs to be ported and tested. Thus, this will be put on hold until the above work is complete. * The rate control module 'sample' is the only currently supported module; onoe/amrr haven't been tested and have likely bit rotted a little. I'll follow up with some commits to make them work again for non-11n rates, but they won't be updated to handle 11n and aggregation. If someone wishes to do so then they're welcome to send along patches. * .. and "sample" doesn't really do a good job of 11n TX. Specifically, the metrics used (packet TX time and failure/success rates) isn't as useful for 11n. It's likely that it should be extended to take into account the aggregate throughput possible and then choose a rate which maximises that. Ie, it may be acceptable for a higher MCS rate with a higher failure to be used if it gives a more acceptable throughput/latency then a lower MCS rate @ a lower error rate. Again, patches will be gratefully accepted. Because of this, ATH_ENABLE_11N is still not enabled by default. Sponsored by: Hobnob, Inc. Obtained from: Linux, Atheros

Stop embedding struct ifnet at the top of driver softcs. Instead the struct ifnet or the layer 2 common structure it was embedded in have been replaced with a struct ifnet pointer to be filled by a call to the new function, if_alloc(). The layer 2 common structure is also allocated via if_alloc() based on the interface type. It is hung off the new struct ifnet member, if_l2com. This change removes the size of these structures from the kernel ABI and will allow us to better manage them as interfaces come and go. Other changes of note: - Struct arpcom is no longer referenced in normal interface code. Instead the Ethernet address is accessed via the IFP2ENADDR() macro. To enforce this ac_enaddr has been renamed to _ac_enaddr. - The second argument to ether_ifattach is now always the mac address from driver private storage rather than sometimes being ac_enaddr.

Flesh out some slightly dirty reset/channel change serialisation code for the ath(4) driver. Currently, there's nothing stopping reset, channel change and general TX/RX from overlapping with each other. This wasn't a big deal with pre-11n traffic as it just results in some dropped frames. It's possible this may have also caused some inconsistencies and badly-setup hardware. Since locks can't be held across all of this (the Linux solution) due to LORs with the network stack locks, some state counter variables are used to track what parts of the code the driver is currently in. When the hardware is being reset, it disables the taskqueue and waits for pending interrupts, tx, rx and tx completion before it begins the reset or channel change. TX and RX both abort if called during an active reset or channel change. Finally, the reset path now doesn't flush frames if ATH_RESET_NOLOSS is set. Instead, completed TX and RX frames are passed back up to net80211 before the reset occurs. This is not without problems: * Raw frame xmit are just dropped, rather than placed on a queue. The net80211 stack should be the one which queues these frames rather than the driver. * It's all very messy. It'd be better if these hardware operations were serialised on some kind of work queue, rather than hoping they can be run in parallel. * The taskqueue block/unblock may occur in parallel with the newstate() function - which shuts down the taskqueue and restarts it once the new state is known. It's likely these operations should be refcounted so the taskqueue is restored once no other areas in the code wish to suspend operations. * .. interrupt disable/enable should likely be refcounted as well. With this work, the driver does not drop frames during stuck beacon or fatal errors and thus 11n traffic continues to run correctly. Default and full resets however do still drop frames and it's possible this may occur, causing traffic loss and session stalls. Sponsored by: Hobnob, Inc.

Later on I may go back to the direct call of ath_rx_tasklet() - but for now, this will do. I've tested UDP and TCP TX. UDP TX still achieves 240MBit, but TCP TX gets stuck at around 100MBit or so, instead of the 150MBit it should be at. I'll re-test with no ACPI/power/sleep states enabled at startup and see what effect it has.

Flesh out some slightly dirty reset/channel change serialisation code for the ath(4) driver. Currently, there's nothing stopping reset, channel change and general TX/RX from overlapping with each other. This wasn't a big deal with pre-11n traffic as it just results in some dropped frames. It's possible this may have also caused some inconsistencies and badly-setup hardware. Since locks can't be held across all of this (the Linux solution) due to LORs with the network stack locks, some state counter variables are used to track what parts of the code the driver is currently in. When the hardware is being reset, it disables the taskqueue and waits for pending interrupts, tx, rx and tx completion before it begins the reset or channel change. TX and RX both abort if called during an active reset or channel change. Finally, the reset path now doesn't flush frames if ATH_RESET_NOLOSS is set. Instead, completed TX and RX frames are passed back up to net80211 before the reset occurs. This is not without problems: * Raw frame xmit are just dropped, rather than placed on a queue. The net80211 stack should be the one which queues these frames rather than the driver. * It's all very messy. It'd be better if these hardware operations were serialised on some kind of work queue, rather than hoping they can be run in parallel. * The taskqueue block/unblock may occur in parallel with the newstate() function - which shuts down the taskqueue and restarts it once the new state is known.

Create a function - ath_tx_kick() - which is called where ath_start() is called to "kick" along TX. For now, schedule a taskqueue call. Later on I may go back to the direct call of ath_rx_tasklet() - but for now, this will do. I've tested UDP and TCP TX. UDP TX still achieves 240MBit, but TCP TX gets stuck at around 100MBit or so, instead of the 150MBit it should be at. I'll re-test with no ACPI/power/sleep states enabled at startup and see what effect it has. This is in preparation for supporting an if_transmit() path, which will turn ath_tx_kick() into a NUL operation (as there won't be an ifnet queue to service.)

Stop embedding struct ifnet at the top of driver softcs. Instead the struct ifnet or the layer 2 common structure it was embedded in have been replaced with a struct ifnet pointer to be filled by a call to the new function, if_alloc(). The layer 2 common structure is also allocated via if_alloc() based on the interface type. It is hung off the new struct ifnet member, if_l2com. This change removes the size of these structures from the kernel ABI and will allow us to better manage them as interfaces come and go. Other changes of note: - Struct arpcom is no longer referenced in normal interface code. Instead the Ethernet address is accessed via the IFP2ENADDR() macro. To enforce this ac_enaddr has been renamed to _ac_enaddr. - The second argument to ether_ifattach is now always the mac address from driver private storage rather than sometimes being ac_enaddr.

o With the addition of HT rates the set of h/w codes has a much wider range making the use of sc_hwmap to do direct mapping impractical. Switch to indexing by the rate index instead of the rate code and adjust associated state and logic appropriately.

Flesh out some slightly dirty reset/channel change serialisation code for the ath(4) driver. Currently, there's nothing stopping reset, channel change and general TX/RX from overlapping with each other. This wasn't a big deal with pre-11n traffic as it just results in some dropped frames. It's possible this may have also caused some inconsistencies and badly-setup hardware. Since locks can't be held across all of this (the Linux solution) due to LORs with the network stack locks, some state counter variables are used to track what parts of the code the driver is currently in. When the hardware is being reset, it disables the taskqueue and waits for pending interrupts, tx, rx and tx completion before it begins the reset or channel change. TX and RX both abort if called during an active reset or channel change. Finally, the reset path now doesn't flush frames if ATH_RESET_NOLOSS is set. Instead, completed TX and RX frames are passed back up to net80211 before the reset occurs. This is not without problems: * Raw frame xmit are just dropped, rather than placed on a queue. The net80211 stack should be the one which queues these frames rather than the driver. * It's all very messy. It'd be better if these hardware operations were serialised on some kind of work queue, rather than hoping they can be run in parallel. * The taskqueue block/unblock may occur in parallel with the newstate() function - which shuts down the taskqueue and restarts it once the new state is known. It's likely these operations should be refcounted so the taskqueue is restored once no other areas in the code wish to suspend operations. * .. interrupt disable/enable should likely be refcounted as well. With this work, the driver does not drop frames during stuck beacon or fatal errors and thus 11n traffic continues to run correctly. Default and full resets however do still drop frames and it's possible this may occur, causing traffic loss and session stalls. Sponsored by: Hobnob, Inc.

Create a function - ath_tx_kick() - which is called where ath_start() is called to "kick" along TX. For now, schedule a taskqueue call. Later on I may go back to the direct call of ath_rx_tasklet() - but for now, this will do. I've tested UDP and TCP TX. UDP TX still achieves 240MBit, but TCP TX gets stuck at around 100MBit or so, instead of the 150MBit it should be at. I'll re-test with no ACPI/power/sleep states enabled at startup and see what effect it has. This is in preparation for supporting an if_transmit() path, which will turn ath_tx_kick() into a NUL operation (as there won't be an ifnet queue to service.)

Some more various fixes, etc from my 11n branch. * When doing software TX queue handling and flush, it's possible that the deletion of a VAP (eg a STA shutdown) will queue a "STA Disassociate" frame whilst the interface is being deleted. The VAP is then deleted, and the frame ends up being queued to a node that is freed before it can be TX'ed. Things go awry at this point. There's no way at the present to avoid freeing the underlying node when the vap is being deleted. It's too late in the game. I suspect the real fix is to make sure the frame is software queued with no completion information somehow, so it doesn't link back to a node whose underlying VAP has been freed. For now, we'll just have to do this. * Add some comments showing what's going on. * Move an instance of the ATH_LOCK() around to protect the interrupt set. I'll worry about changing that to a PCU lock later on once the 11n code is in the tree. Sponsored by: Hobnob, Inc.

Defer the rescheduling of TID -> TXQ frames in some instances. Right now ath_txq_sched() is mainly called from the TX ath_tx_processq() routine, which is (mostly) done as part of the taskqueue. It shouldn't be called outside the taskqueue. But now that I'm about to flip back on BAR TX, I'm going to start stressing the ath_tx_tid_pause() and ath_tx_tid_resume() paths. What I don't want to have happen is a reschedule of the TID traffic _during_ the completion of TX frames. Ideally I'd like to have a way to flag back up to the processing code that the current hardware queue should be rechecked for software TID queue frames. But for now, this should suffice for the BAR TX case. I may eventually delete this code once I've brought some further sanity to the general TX queue/completion path.

Introduce TX aggregation and software TX queue management for Atheros AR5416 and later wireless devices. This is a very large commit - the complete history can be found in the user/adrian/if_ath_tx branch. Legacy (ie, pre-AR5416) devices also use the per-software TXQ support and (in theory) can support non-aggregation ADDBA sessions. However, the net80211 stack doesn't currently support this. In summary: TX path: * queued frames normally go onto a per-TID, per-node queue * some special frames (eg ADDBA control frames) are thrown directly onto the relevant hardware queue so they can go out before any software queued frames are queued. * Add methods to create, suspend, resume and tear down an aggregation session. * Add in software retransmission of both normal and aggregate frames. * Add in completion handling of aggregate frames, including parsing the block ack bitmap provided by the hardware. * Write an aggregation function which can assemble frames into an aggregate based on the selected rate control and channel configuration. * The per-TID queues are locked based on their target hardware TX queue. This matches what ath9k/atheros does, and thus simplified porting over some of the aggregation logic. * When doing TX aggregation, stick the sequence number allocation in the TX path rather than net80211 TX path, and protect it by the TXQ lock. Rate control: * Delay rate control selection until the frame is about to be queued to the hardware, so retried frames can have their rate control choices changed. Frames with a static rate control selection have that applied before each TX, just to simplify the TX path (ie, not have "static" and "dynamic" rate control special cased.) * Teach ath_rate_sample about aggregates - both completion and errors. * Add an EWMA for tracking what the current "good" MCS rate is based on failure rates. Misc: * Introduce a bunch of dirty hacks and workarounds so TID mapping and net80211 frame inspection can be kept out of the net80211 layer. Because of the way this code works (and it's from Atheros and Linux ath9k), there is a consistent, 1:1 mapping between TID and AC. So we need to ensure that frames going to a specific TID will _always_ end up on the right AC, and vice versa, or the completion/locking will simply get very confused. I plan on addressing this mess in the future. Known issues: * There is no BAR frame transmission just yet. A whole lot of tidying up needs to occur before BAR frame TX can occur in the "correct" place - ie, once the TID TX queue has been drained. * Interface reset/purge/etc results in frames in the TX and RX queues being removed. This creates holes in the sequence numbers being assigned and the TX/RX AMPDU code (on either side) just hangs. * There's no filtered frame support at the present moment, so stations going into power saving mode will simply have a number of frames dropped - likely resulting in a traffic "hang". * Raw frame TX is going to just not function with 11n aggregation. Likely this needs to be modified to always override the sequence number if the frame is going into an aggregation session. However, general raw frame injection currently doesn't work in general in net80211, so let's just ignore this for now until this is sorted out. * HT protection is just not implemented and won't be until the above is sorted out. In addition, the AR5416 has issues RTS protecting large aggregates (anything >8k), so the work around needs to be ported and tested. Thus, this will be put on hold until the above work is complete. * The rate control module 'sample' is the only currently supported module; onoe/amrr haven't been tested and have likely bit rotted a little. I'll follow up with some commits to make them work again for non-11n rates, but they won't be updated to handle 11n and aggregation. If someone wishes to do so then they're welcome to send along patches. * .. and "sample" doesn't really do a good job of 11n TX. Specifically, the metrics used (packet TX time and failure/success rates) isn't as useful for 11n. It's likely that it should be extended to take into account the aggregate throughput possible and then choose a rate which maximises that. Ie, it may be acceptable for a higher MCS rate with a higher failure to be used if it gives a more acceptable throughput/latency then a lower MCS rate @ a lower error rate. Again, patches will be gratefully accepted. Because of this, ATH_ENABLE_11N is still not enabled by default. Sponsored by: Hobnob, Inc. Obtained from: Linux, Atheros

Flesh out some slightly dirty reset/channel change serialisation code for the ath(4) driver. Currently, there's nothing stopping reset, channel change and general TX/RX from overlapping with each other. This wasn't a big deal with pre-11n traffic as it just results in some dropped frames. It's possible this may have also caused some inconsistencies and badly-setup hardware. Since locks can't be held across all of this (the Linux solution) due to LORs with the network stack locks, some state counter variables are used to track what parts of the code the driver is currently in. When the hardware is being reset, it disables the taskqueue and waits for pending interrupts, tx, rx and tx completion before it begins the reset or channel change. TX and RX both abort if called during an active reset or channel change. Finally, the reset path now doesn't flush frames if ATH_RESET_NOLOSS is set. Instead, completed TX and RX frames are passed back up to net80211 before the reset occurs. This is not without problems: * Raw frame xmit are just dropped, rather than placed on a queue. The net80211 stack should be the one which queues these frames rather than the driver. * It's all very messy. It'd be better if these hardware operations were serialised on some kind of work queue, rather than hoping they can be run in parallel. * The taskqueue block/unblock may occur in parallel with the newstate() function - which shuts down the taskqueue and restarts it once the new state is known. It's likely these operations should be refcounted so the taskqueue is restored once no other areas in the code wish to suspend operations. * .. interrupt disable/enable should likely be refcounted as well. With this work, the driver does not drop frames during stuck beacon or fatal errors and thus 11n traffic continues to run correctly. Default and full resets however do still drop frames and it's possible this may occur, causing traffic loss and session stalls. Sponsored by: Hobnob, Inc.

Overhaul regulatory support: o remove HAL_CHANNEL; convert the hal to use net80211 channels; this mostly involves mechanical changes to variable names and channel attribute macros o gut HAL_CHANNEL_PRIVATE as most of the contents are now redundant with the net80211 channel available o change api for ath_hal_init_channels: no more reglass id's, no more outdoor indication (was a noop), anM contents o add ath_hal_getchannels to have the hal construct a channel list without altering runtime state; this is used to retrieve the calibration list for the device in ath_getradiocaps o add ath_hal_set_channels to take a channel list and regulatory data from above and construct internal state to match (maps frequencies for 900MHz cards, setup for CTL lookups, etc) o compact the private channel table: we keep one private channel per frequency instead of one per HAL_CHANNEL; this gives a big space savings and potentially improves ani and calibration by sharing state (to be seen; didn't see anything in testing); a new config option AH_MAXCHAN controls the table size (default to 96 which was chosen to be ~3x the largest expected size) o shrink ani state and change to mirror private channel table (one entry per frequency indexed by ic_devdata) o move ani state flags to private channel state o remove country codes; use net80211 definitions instead o remove GSM regulatory support; it's no longer needed now that we pass in channel lists from above o consolidate ADHOC_NO_11A attribute with DISALLOW_ADHOC_11A o simplify initial channel list construction based on the EEPROM contents; we preserve country code support for now but may want to just fallback to a WWR sku and dispatch the discovered country code up to user space so the channel list can be constructed using the master regdomain tables o defer to net80211 for max antenna gain o eliminate sorting of internal channel table; now that we use ic_devdata as an index, table lookups are O(1) o remove internal copy of the country code; the public one is sufficient o remove AH_SUPPORT_11D conditional compilation; we always support 11d o remove ath_hal_ispublicsafetysku; not needed any more o remove ath_hal_isgsmsku; no more GSM stuff o move Conformance Test Limit (CTL) state from private channel to a lookup using per-band pointers cached in the private state block o remove regulatory class id support; was unused and belongs in net80211 o fix channel list construction to set IEEE80211_CHAN_NOADHOC, IEEE80211_CHAN_NOHOSTAP, and IEEE80211_CHAN_4MSXMIT o remove private channel flags CHANNEL_DFS and CHANNEL_4MS_LIMIT; these are now set in the constructed net80211 channel o store CHANNEL_NFCREQUIRED (Noise Floor Required) channel attribute in one of the driver-private flag bits of the net80211 channel o move 900MHz frequency mapping into the hal; the mapped frequency is stored in the private channel and used throughout the hal (no more mapping in the driver and/or net80211) o remove ath_hal_mhz2ieee; it's no longer needed as net80211 does the calculation and available in the net80211 channel o change noise floor calibration logic to work with compacted private channel table setup; this may require revisiting as we no longer can distinguish channel attributes (e.g. 11b vs 11g vs turbo) but since the data is used only to calculate status data we can live with it for now o change ah_getChipPowerLimits internal method to operate on a single channel instead of all channels in the private channel table o add ath_hal_gethwchannel to map a net80211 channel to a h/w frequency (always the same except for 900MHz channels) o add HAL_EEBADREG and HAL_EEBADCC status codes to better identify regulatory problems o remove CTRY_DEBUG and CTRY_DEFAULT enum's; these come from net80211 now o change ath_hal_getwirelessmodes to really return wireless modes supported by the hardware (was previously applying regulatory constraints) o return channel interference status with IEEE80211_CHANSTATE_CWINT (should change to a callback so hal api's can take const pointers) o remove some #define's no longer needed with the inclusion of <net80211/_ieee80211.h> Sponsored by: Carlson Wireless

Flesh out some slightly dirty reset/channel change serialisation code for the ath(4) driver. Currently, there's nothing stopping reset, channel change and general TX/RX from overlapping with each other. This wasn't a big deal with pre-11n traffic as it just results in some dropped frames. It's possible this may have also caused some inconsistencies and badly-setup hardware. Since locks can't be held across all of this (the Linux solution) due to LORs with the network stack locks, some state counter variables are used to track what parts of the code the driver is currently in. When the hardware is being reset, it disables the taskqueue and waits for pending interrupts, tx, rx and tx completion before it begins the reset or channel change. TX and RX both abort if called during an active reset or channel change. Finally, the reset path now doesn't flush frames if ATH_RESET_NOLOSS is set. Instead, completed TX and RX frames are passed back up to net80211 before the reset occurs. This is not without problems: * Raw frame xmit are just dropped, rather than placed on a queue. The net80211 stack should be the one which queues these frames rather than the driver. * It's all very messy. It'd be better if these hardware operations were serialised on some kind of work queue, rather than hoping they can be run in parallel. * The taskqueue block/unblock may occur in parallel with the newstate() function - which shuts down the taskqueue and restarts it once the new state is known. It's likely these operations should be refcounted so the taskqueue is restored once no other areas in the code wish to suspend operations. * .. interrupt disable/enable should likely be refcounted as well. With this work, the driver does not drop frames during stuck beacon or fatal errors and thus 11n traffic continues to run correctly. Default and full resets however do still drop frames and it's possible this may occur, causing traffic loss and session stalls. Sponsored by: Hobnob, Inc.

/* Treat this as an interface reset */
Attempt to further fix some of the concurrency/reset issues that occur. * ath_reset() is being called in softclock context, which may have the thing sleep on a lock. To avoid this, since we really _shouldn't_ be sleeping on any locks, break out the no-loss reset path into a tasklet and call that from: + ath_calibrate() + ath_watchdog() This has the added advantage that it'll end up also doing the frame RX cleanup from within the taskqueue context, rather than the softclock context. * Shuffle around the taskqueue_block() call to be before we grab the lock and disable interrupts. The trouble here is that taskqueue_block() doesn't block currently queued (but not yet running) tasks so calling it doesn't guarantee no further tasks (that weren't running on _A_ CPU at the time of this call) will complete. Calling taskqueue_drain() on these tasks won't work because if any _other_ thread calls taskqueue_enqueue() for whatever reason, everything gets very angry and stops working. This slightly changes the race condition enough to let ath_rx_tasklet() run before we try disabling it, and thus quietens the warnings a bit. The (more) true solution will be doing something like the following: * having a taskqueue_blocked mask in ath_softc; * having an interrupt_blocked mask in ath_softc; * only calling taskqueue_drain() on each individual task _after_ the lock has been acquired - that way no further tasklet scheduling is going to occur. * Then once the tasks have been blocked _and_ the interrupt has been disabled, call taskqueue_drain() on each, ensuring that anything that _was_ scheduled or running is removed. The trouble is if something calls taskqueue_enqueue() on a task after taskqueue_blocked() has been called but BEFORE taskqueue_drain() has been called, ta_pending will be set to 1 and taskqueue_drain() will sit there stuck in msleep() until you hard-kill the machine.

Flesh out some slightly dirty reset/channel change serialisation code for the ath(4) driver. Currently, there's nothing stopping reset, channel change and general TX/RX from overlapping with each other. This wasn't a big deal with pre-11n traffic as it just results in some dropped frames. It's possible this may have also caused some inconsistencies and badly-setup hardware. Since locks can't be held across all of this (the Linux solution) due to LORs with the network stack locks, some state counter variables are used to track what parts of the code the driver is currently in. When the hardware is being reset, it disables the taskqueue and waits for pending interrupts, tx, rx and tx completion before it begins the reset or channel change. TX and RX both abort if called during an active reset or channel change. Finally, the reset path now doesn't flush frames if ATH_RESET_NOLOSS is set. Instead, completed TX and RX frames are passed back up to net80211 before the reset occurs. This is not without problems: * Raw frame xmit are just dropped, rather than placed on a queue. The net80211 stack should be the one which queues these frames rather than the driver. * It's all very messy. It'd be better if these hardware operations were serialised on some kind of work queue, rather than hoping they can be run in parallel. * The taskqueue block/unblock may occur in parallel with the newstate() function - which shuts down the taskqueue and restarts it once the new state is known. It's likely these operations should be refcounted so the taskqueue is restored once no other areas in the code wish to suspend operations. * .. interrupt disable/enable should likely be refcounted as well. With this work, the driver does not drop frames during stuck beacon or fatal errors and thus 11n traffic continues to run correctly. Default and full resets however do still drop frames and it's possible this may occur, causing traffic loss and session stalls. Sponsored by: Hobnob, Inc.

Flesh out the radar detection related operations for the ath driver. This is in no way a complete DFS/radar detection implementation! It merely creates an abstracted interface which allows for future development of the DFS radar detection code. Note: Net80211 already handles the bulk of the DFS machinery, all we need to do here is figure out that a radar event has occured and inform it as such. It then drives the DFS state engine for us. The "null" DFS radar detection module is included by default; it doesn't require a device line. This commit: * Adds a simple abstracted layer for radar detection state - sys/dev/ath/ath_dfs/; * Implements a null DFS module which doesn't do anything; (ie, implements the exact behaviour at the moment); * Adds hooks to the ath driver to process received radar events and gives the DFS module a chance to determine whether a radar has been detected.

Use the passed-in channel rather than ic->ic_curchan. I'm not sure _why_ the ic is NULL here, but I've seen it occasionally do this after I've been tinkering with things for a while. It ends up crashing in a call to ath_chan_set() via the net80211 scan code and scan task.

MFp4 changes to fix locking issues and correct reference count handling of station entries in hostap mode: Input path: o driver is now expected to find the node associated with the sender of a received frame; use ic_bss if none is located o driver passes the (referenced) node into ieee80211_input for use within the wlan module and is responsible for cleaning up on return o the antenna state is no longer passed up with each frame; this is now considered driver-private state and drivers are responsible for keeping it in the driver-private part of a node Output path: Revamp output path for management frames to eliminate redundant locking that causes problems and to correct reference counting bogosity that occurs when stations are timed out due to inactivity (in AP mode). On output the refcnt'd node is stashed in the pkthdr's recvif field (yech) and retrieved by the driver. This eliminates an unref/ref scenario and related node table unlock/lock due to the driver looking up the node. This is particularly important when stations are timed out as this causes a lock order reversal that can result in a deadlock. As a byproduct we also reduce the overhead for sending management frames (minimal). Additional fallout from this is a change to ieee80211_encap to return a refcn't node for tieing to the outbound frame. Node refcnts are not reclaimed until after a frame is completely processed (e.g. in the tx interrupt handler). This is especially important for timed out stations as this deref will be the final one causing the node entry to be reclaimed. Additional semi-related changes: o replace m_copym use with m_copypacket (optimization) o add assert to verify ic_bss is never free'd during normal operation o add comments explaining calling conventions by drivers for frames going in each direction o remove extraneous code that "cannot be executed" (e.g. because pointers may never be null)

Fix beacon transmission after a channel set. The DFS code was tickling the channel set directly whilst going through the state RUN -> CSA -> RUN. This only changed the channel; it didn't go via ath_reset(). However in this driver, a channel change always causes a chip reset, which resets the beacon timer configuration and interrupt setup. This meant that data would go out but as the beacon timers never fired, beacons would never be queued. The confusing part is that sometimes the state transition was RUN -> SCAN -> CAC -> RUN (with CSA being in there sometimes); going via SCAN would clear sc_beacons and thus the transition to RUN would reprogram beacon transmission. In case someone tries debugging why suspending a device currently beaconing (versus just RX'ing beacons which is what occurs in STA mode), add a silly comment which should hopefully land them at this commit message. The call to ath_hal_reset() will be clearing the beacon config and it may not be always reset.

Flesh out some slightly dirty reset/channel change serialisation code for the ath(4) driver. Currently, there's nothing stopping reset, channel change and general TX/RX from overlapping with each other. This wasn't a big deal with pre-11n traffic as it just results in some dropped frames. It's possible this may have also caused some inconsistencies and badly-setup hardware. Since locks can't be held across all of this (the Linux solution) due to LORs with the network stack locks, some state counter variables are used to track what parts of the code the driver is currently in. When the hardware is being reset, it disables the taskqueue and waits for pending interrupts, tx, rx and tx completion before it begins the reset or channel change. TX and RX both abort if called during an active reset or channel change. Finally, the reset path now doesn't flush frames if ATH_RESET_NOLOSS is set. Instead, completed TX and RX frames are passed back up to net80211 before the reset occurs. This is not without problems: * Raw frame xmit are just dropped, rather than placed on a queue. The net80211 stack should be the one which queues these frames rather than the driver. * It's all very messy. It'd be better if these hardware operations were serialised on some kind of work queue, rather than hoping they can be run in parallel. * The taskqueue block/unblock may occur in parallel with the newstate() function - which shuts down the taskqueue and restarts it once the new state is known.

Don't delay updating the longcal timer - instead, update the longcal flag immediately so it's only set once per longcal interval. Without this, the current AR5416 code will continuously spam NF calibrations during a periodic calibration if the longcal flag is set. The longcal flag wouldn't be cleared until the calibration method indicates that calibrations are "complete". This drops the rate of NF calibration updates down from "once every shortcal" (ie, every 100ms) during a periodic calibration, to only once per "longcal" interval. Spamming NF calibrations every 100ms caused some potentially horrific issues in noisy environments as NF calibrations can take longer than 100ms and this spamming can cause invalid NF calibration results to be read back - leading to missed beacons, and thus leading to a stuck beacon situation. Stuck beacons cause interface resets, which restart calibrations. This means that the longcal calibration runs every 100ms (shortcal) until all initial calibrations are completed. This spamming can then cause the above issues which leads to stuck beacons, leading to interface resets, etc, etc. Quite annoying.

Attempt to further fix some of the concurrency/reset issues that occur. * ath_reset() is being called in softclock context, which may have the thing sleep on a lock. To avoid this, since we really _shouldn't_ be sleeping on any locks, break out the no-loss reset path into a tasklet and call that from: + ath_calibrate() + ath_watchdog() This has the added advantage that it'll end up also doing the frame RX cleanup from within the taskqueue context, rather than the softclock context. * Shuffle around the taskqueue_block() call to be before we grab the lock and disable interrupts. The trouble here is that taskqueue_block() doesn't block currently queued (but not yet running) tasks so calling it doesn't guarantee no further tasks (that weren't running on _A_ CPU at the time of this call) will complete. Calling taskqueue_drain() on these tasks won't work because if any _other_ thread calls taskqueue_enqueue() for whatever reason, everything gets very angry and stops working. This slightly changes the race condition enough to let ath_rx_tasklet() run before we try disabling it, and thus quietens the warnings a bit. The (more) true solution will be doing something like the following: * having a taskqueue_blocked mask in ath_softc; * having an interrupt_blocked mask in ath_softc; * only calling taskqueue_drain() on each individual task _after_ the lock has been acquired - that way no further tasklet scheduling is going to occur. * Then once the tasks have been blocked _and_ the interrupt has been disabled, call taskqueue_drain() on each, ensuring that anything that _was_ scheduled or running is removed. The trouble is if something calls taskqueue_enqueue() on a task after taskqueue_blocked() has been called but BEFORE taskqueue_drain() has been called, ta_pending will be set to 1 and taskqueue_drain() will sit there stuck in msleep() until you hard-kill the machine.

Add the new channel width change field to the ath(4) driver. This is not entirely correct as it simply resets the channel, flushing whatever is in the TX/RX queue. This can and will break aggregation BAW tracking. But the alternative (HT40 frames being sent with the hardware in HT20 mode) is even worse. There's still a small window between the htinfo being received (and the ni_chw field being updated) which could cause problems. I'll look at fleshing this out in follow-up commits. PR: kern/166286

Fix a corner case in STA beacon processing when a CSA is received but the AP doesn't transmit beacons. If the AP requests a CSA (ie, a channel switch) and then enters CAC (channel availability check) for 60 seconds, it doesn't send beacons and it just listens for radar events (and other things which we don't do yet.) Now, ath_newstate() was not resetting the beacon timer config on a transition to the RUN state when in STA mode - it was setting sc_syncbeacon, which simply updates the beacon config from the contents of the next received beacon. This means the STA never generates beacon miss events. If the AP goes into CAC for 60 seconds and recovers, the STA will happily receive the first beacon and reconfigure timers. But if it gets a radar event after that, it'll change channel again, not notify the station that it's changed channel.. and since the station is happily waiting for the first beacon to configure the beacon timer details from, it won't ever generate a beacon miss interrupt and it'll sit there forever (or until the AP appears on that channel once again.) This change forces the last known beacon timer config to be written to hardware on a transition from CSA->RUN in STA mode. This forces bmiss events to occur and the STA will eventually (after a handful of beacon miss events) begin scanning for another access point.

Attempt to address some potential vap->iv_bss race conditions. There are unfortunately a number of situations where vap->iv_bss is changed or freed by some code in net80211. Because multiple threads can concurrently be doing work (and the vap->iv_bss access isn't at all done behind any kind of lock), it's quite possible that: * a change will occur in one thread - eg, by a call through ieee80211_sta_join1(); * a state change occurs in another thread - eg an RX is scheduled in the ath tasklet and it calls ieee80211_input_mimo_all(), which does dereference vap->iv_bss; * these two executing concurrently, causing things to explode. Another instance is ath_beacon_alloc() which takes an ieee80211_node *. It's called with the vap->iv_bss node from ath_newstate(). If the node has changed in the meantime (say it's been freed elsewhere) the reference that it grabbed _before_ refcounting it may be stale. I would _prefer_ that these sorts of things were serialised somewhere but that may be a bit much to ask. Instead, the best we can (currently) hope is that the underlying bss node is still (somewhat) valid. There is a related PR (kern/164382) described by the first case above. That should be fixed by properly serialising the RX path and reset path so an RX can't occur at the same time as the vap free/shutdown path. This is inspired by some related fixes in r212127.

Implementation of the upcoming Wireless Mesh standard, 802.11s, on the net80211 wireless stack. This work is based on the March 2009 D3.0 draft standard. This standard is expected to become final next year. This includes two main net80211 modules, ieee80211_mesh.c which deals with peer link management, link metric calculation, routing table control and mesh configuration and ieee80211_hwmp.c which deals with the actually routing process on the mesh network. HWMP is the mandatory routing protocol on by the mesh standard, but others, such as RA-OLSR, can be implemented. Authentication and encryption are not implemented. There are several scripts under tools/tools/net80211/scripts that can be used to test different mesh network topologies and they also teach you how to setup a mesh vap (for the impatient: ifconfig wlan0 create wlandev ... wlanmode mesh). A new build option is available: IEEE80211_SUPPORT_MESH and it's enabled by default on GENERIC kernels for i386, amd64, sparc64 and pc98. Drivers that support mesh networks right now are: ath, ral and mwl. More information at: http://wiki.freebsd.org/WifiMesh Please note that this work is experimental. Also, please note that bridging a mesh vap with another network interface is not yet supported. Many thanks to the FreeBSD Foundation for sponsoring this project and to Sam Leffler for his support. Also, I would like to thank Gateworks Corporation for sending me a Cambria board which was used during the development of this project.

Fix a corner case in STA beacon processing when a CSA is received but the AP doesn't transmit beacons. If the AP requests a CSA (ie, a channel switch) and then enters CAC (channel availability check) for 60 seconds, it doesn't send beacons and it just listens for radar events (and other things which we don't do yet.) Now, ath_newstate() was not resetting the beacon timer config on a transition to the RUN state when in STA mode - it was setting sc_syncbeacon, which simply updates the beacon config from the contents of the next received beacon. This means the STA never generates beacon miss events. If the AP goes into CAC for 60 seconds and recovers, the STA will happily receive the first beacon and reconfigure timers. But if it gets a radar event after that, it'll change channel again, not notify the station that it's changed channel.. and since the station is happily waiting for the first beacon to configure the beacon timer details from, it won't ever generate a beacon miss interrupt and it'll sit there forever (or until the AP appears on that channel once again.) This change forces the last known beacon timer config to be written to hardware on a transition from CSA->RUN in STA mode. This forces bmiss events to occur and the STA will eventually (after a handful of beacon miss events) begin scanning for another access point.

Split crypto tx+rx key indices and add a key index -> node mapping table: Crypto changes: o change driver/net80211 key_alloc api to return tx+rx key indices; a driver can leave the rx key index set to IEEE80211_KEYIX_NONE or set it to be the same as the tx key index (the former disables use of the key index in building the keyix->node mapping table and is the default setup for naive drivers by null_key_alloc) o add cs_max_keyid to crypto state to specify the max h/w key index a driver will return; this is used to allocate the key index mapping table and to bounds check table loookups o while here introduce ieee80211_keyix (finally) for the type of a h/w key index o change crypto notifiers for rx failures to pass the rx key index up as appropriate (michael failure, replay, etc.) Node table changes: o optionally allocate a h/w key index to node mapping table for the station table using the max key index setting supplied by drivers (note the scan table does not get a map) o defer node table allocation to lateattach so the driver has a chance to set the max key id to size the key index map o while here also defer the aid bitmap allocation o add new ieee80211_find_rxnode_withkey api to find a sta/node entry on frame receive with an optional h/w key index to use in checking mapping table; also updates the map if it does a hash lookup and the found node has a rx key index set in the unicast key; note this work is separated from the old ieee80211_find_rxnode call so drivers do not need to be aware of the new mechanism o move some node table manipulation under the node table lock to close a race on node delete o add ieee80211_node_delucastkey to do the dirty work of deleting unicast key state for a node (deletes any key and handles key map references) Ath driver: o nuke private sc_keyixmap mechansim in favor of net80211 support o update key alloc api These changes close several race conditions for the ath driver operating in ap mode. Other drivers should see no change. Station mode operation for ath no longer uses the key index map but performance tests show no noticeable change and this will be fixed when the scan table is eliminated with the new scanning support.

Cleanup power handling and fix suspend/resume: o do not put the chip into full sleep in ath_stop as it gains nothing and causes many parts to hang in ath_detach because we may touch the chip during vap teardown; this may also fix issues with unloading the module o add a note in ath_detach to explain ath_hal_detach puts the chip in low power mode; this is useful to know as it means unloading the module will place a pci device in the lowest possible power state o leave an #ifdef notyet marker for powering down the chip when a device is marked down; we can't do that until we handle all the ways the driver may be entered and touch the chip o fix resume by reloading the h/w key cache as it's been clobbered (for pci) by the socket being powered off; for station mode we directly stop+init the chip and then simulate a beacon miss to get the upper layers sync'd up; for other configs we must brute force stop+start the vaps so they go through the state machine

Add a 'vap' to ath_keyset(). Add some code (which is currently disabled) which modifies the group multicast key cache behaviour. I haven't yet figured out what the exact/correct behaviour is so I'm leaving it disabled. It's worth investigating and "correcting", especially for future work with mesh/ibss and encryption.

Introduce some more DFS related hooks, inspired both by local work and the Atheros reference code. The radar detection code needs to know what the current DFS domain is. Since net80211 doesn't currently know this information, it's extracted from the HAL regulatory domain information. The specifics: * add a new ath_dfs API hook, ath_dfs_init_radar_filters(), which updates the radar filters whenever the regulatory domain changes. * add HAL_DFS_DOMAIN which describes the currently configured DFS domain . * add a new HAL internal variable which tracks the currently configured HAL DFS domain. * add a new HAL capability, HAL_CAP_DFS_DMN, which returns the currently configured HAL DFS domain setting. * update the HAL DFS domain setting whenever the channel setting is updated. Since this isn't currently used by any radar code, these should all be no-ops for existing users. Obtained from: Atheros Submitted by: KBC Networks, sibridge Approved by: re (kib, blanket)

Overhaul monitor mode handling: o replace DLT_IEEE802_11 support in net80211 with DLT_IEEE802_11_RADIO and remove explicit bpf support from wireless drivers; drivers now use ieee80211_radiotap_attach to setup shared data structures that hold the radiotap header for each packet tx/rx o remove rx timestamp from the rx path; it was used only by the tdma support for debugging and was mostly useless due to it being 32-bits and mostly unavailable o track DLT_IEEE80211_RADIO bpf attachments and maintain per-vap and per-com state when there are active taps o track the number of monitor mode vaps o use bpf tap and monitor mode vap state to decide when to collect radiotap state and dispatch frames; drivers no longer explicitly directly check bpf state or use bpf calls to tap frames o handle radiotap state updates on channel change in net80211; drivers should not do this (unless they bypass net80211 which is almost always a mistake) o update various drivers to be more consistent/correct in handling radiotap o update ral to include TSF in radiotap'd frames o add promisc mode callback to wi Reviewed by: cbzimmer, rpaulo, thompsa

Flesh out some slightly dirty reset/channel change serialisation code for the ath(4) driver. Currently, there's nothing stopping reset, channel change and general TX/RX from overlapping with each other. This wasn't a big deal with pre-11n traffic as it just results in some dropped frames. It's possible this may have also caused some inconsistencies and badly-setup hardware. Since locks can't be held across all of this (the Linux solution) due to LORs with the network stack locks, some state counter variables are used to track what parts of the code the driver is currently in. When the hardware is being reset, it disables the taskqueue and waits for pending interrupts, tx, rx and tx completion before it begins the reset or channel change. TX and RX both abort if called during an active reset or channel change. Finally, the reset path now doesn't flush frames if ATH_RESET_NOLOSS is set. Instead, completed TX and RX frames are passed back up to net80211 before the reset occurs. This is not without problems: * Raw frame xmit are just dropped, rather than placed on a queue. The net80211 stack should be the one which queues these frames rather than the driver. * It's all very messy. It'd be better if these hardware operations were serialised on some kind of work queue, rather than hoping they can be run in parallel. * The taskqueue block/unblock may occur in parallel with the newstate() function - which shuts down the taskqueue and restarts it once the new state is known. It's likely these operations should be refcounted so the taskqueue is restored once no other areas in the code wish to suspend operations. * .. interrupt disable/enable should likely be refcounted as well. With this work, the driver does not drop frames during stuck beacon or fatal errors and thus 11n traffic continues to run correctly. Default and full resets however do still drop frames and it's possible this may occur, causing traffic loss and session stalls. Sponsored by: Hobnob, Inc.

Update 802.11 wireless support: o major overhaul of the way channels are handled: channels are now fully enumerated and uniquely identify the operating characteristics; these changes are visible to user applications which require changes o make scanning support independent of the state machine to enable background scanning and roaming o move scanning support into loadable modules based on the operating mode to enable different policies and reduce the memory footprint on systems w/ constrained resources o add background scanning in station mode (no support for adhoc/ibss mode yet) o significantly speedup sta mode scanning with a variety of techniques o add roaming support when background scanning is supported; for now we use a simple algorithm to trigger a roam: we threshold the rssi and tx rate, if either drops too low we try to roam to a new ap o add tx fragmentation support o add first cut at 802.11n support: this code works with forthcoming drivers but is incomplete; it's included now to establish a baseline for other drivers to be developed and for user applications o adjust max_linkhdr et. al. to reflect 802.11 requirements; this eliminates prepending mbufs for traffic generated locally o add support for Atheros protocol extensions; mainly the fast frames encapsulation (note this can be used with any card that can tx+rx large frames correctly) o add sta support for ap's that beacon both WPA1+2 support o change all data types from bsd-style to posix-style o propagate noise floor data from drivers to net80211 and on to user apps o correct various issues in the sta mode state machine related to handling authentication and association failures o enable the addition of sta mode power save support for drivers that need net80211 support (not in this commit) o remove old WI compatibility ioctls (wicontrol is officially dead) o change the data structures returned for get sta info and get scan results so future additions will not break user apps o fixed tx rate is now maintained internally as an ieee rate and not an index into the rate set; this needs to be extended to deal with multi-mode operation o add extended channel specifications to radiotap to enable 11n sniffing Drivers: o ath: add support for bg scanning, tx fragmentation, fast frames, dynamic turbo (lightly tested), 11n (sniffing only and needs new hal) o awi: compile tested only o ndis: lightly tested o ipw: lightly tested o iwi: add support for bg scanning (well tested but may have some rough edges) o ral, ural, rum: add suppoort for bg scanning, calibrate rssi data o wi: lightly tested This work is based on contributions by Atheros, kmacy, sephe, thompsa, mlaier, kevlo, and others.

Stop embedding struct ifnet at the top of driver softcs. Instead the struct ifnet or the layer 2 common structure it was embedded in have been replaced with a struct ifnet pointer to be filled by a call to the new function, if_alloc(). The layer 2 common structure is also allocated via if_alloc() based on the interface type. It is hung off the new struct ifnet member, if_l2com. This change removes the size of these structures from the kernel ABI and will allow us to better manage them as interfaces come and go. Other changes of note: - Struct arpcom is no longer referenced in normal interface code. Instead the Ethernet address is accessed via the IFP2ENADDR() macro. To enforce this ac_enaddr has been renamed to _ac_enaddr. - The second argument to ether_ifattach is now always the mac address from driver private storage rather than sometimes being ac_enaddr.

Flesh out the radar detection related operations for the ath driver. This is in no way a complete DFS/radar detection implementation! It merely creates an abstracted interface which allows for future development of the DFS radar detection code. Note: Net80211 already handles the bulk of the DFS machinery, all we need to do here is figure out that a radar event has occured and inform it as such. It then drives the DFS state engine for us.
