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.

Begin abstracting out the RX path in preparation for RX EDMA support. The RX EDMA support requires a modified approach to the RX descriptor handling. Specifically: * There's now two RX queues - high and low priority; * The RX queues are implemented as FIFOs; they're now an array of pointers to buffers; * .. and the RX buffer and descriptor are in the same "buffer", rather than being separate. So to that end, this commit abstracts out most of the RX related functions from the bulk of the driver. Notably, the RX DMA/buffer allocation isn't updated, primarily because I haven't yet fleshed out what it should look like. Whilst I'm here, create a set of matching but mostly unimplemented EDMA stubs. Tested: * AR9280, station mode TODO: * Thorough AP and other mode testing for non-EDMA chips; * Figure out how to allocate RX buffers suitable for RX EDMA, including correctly setting the mbuf length to compensate for the RX descriptor and completion status area.

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.

Pull out the if_transmit() work and revert back to ath_start(). My changed had some rather significant behavioural changes to throughput. The two issues I noticed: * With if_start and the ifnet mbuf queue, any temporary latency would get eaten up by some mbufs being queued. With ath_transmit() queuing things to ath_buf's, I'd only get 512 TX buffers before I couldn't queue any further frames. * There's also some non-zero latency involved with TX being pushed into a taskqueue via direct dispatch. Any time the scheduler didn't immediately schedule the ath TX task would cause extra latency. Various 1ge/10ge drivers implement both direct dispatch (if the TX lock can be acquired) and deferred task transmission (if the TX lock can't be acquired), with frames being pushed into a drbd queue. I'll have to do this at some point, but until I figure out how to deal with 802.11 fragments, I'll have to wait a while longer. So what I saw: * lots of extra latency, specially under load - if the taskqueue wasn't immediately scheduled, things went pear shaped; * any extra latency would result in TX ath_buf's taking their sweet time being replenished, so any further calls to ath_transmit() would drop mbufs. * .. yes, there's no explicit backpressure here - things are just dropped. Eek. With this, the general performance has gone up, but those subtle if_start() related race conditions are back. For some reason, this is doubly-obvious with the AR5416 NIC and I don't quite understand why yet. There's an unrelated issue with AR5416 performance in STA mode (it's fine in AP mode when bridging frames, weirdly..) that requires a little further investigation. Specifically - it works fine on a Lenovo T40 (single core CPU) running a March 2012 9-STABLE kernel, but a Lenovo T60 (dual core) running an early November 2012 kernel behaves very poorly. The same hardware with an AR9160 or AR9280 behaves perfectly.

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.

Break out ath_draintxq() into a method and un-methodize ath_tx_processq(). Now that I understand what's going on with this, I've realised that it's going to be quite difficult to implement a processq method in the EDMA case. Because there's a separate TX status FIFO, I can't just run processq() on each EDMA TXQ to see what's finished. i have to actually run the TX status queue and handle individual TXQs. So: * unmethodize ath_tx_processq(); * leave ath_tx_draintxq() as a method, as it only uses the completion status for debugging rather than actively completing the frames (ie, all frames here are failed); * Methodize ath_draintxq(). The EDMA ath_draintxq() will have to take care of running the TX completion FIFO before (potentially) freeing frames in the queue. The only two places where ath_tx_draintxq() (on a single TXQ) are used: * ath_draintxq(); and * the CABQ handling in the beacon setup code - it drains the CABQ before populating the CABQ with frames for a new beacon (when doing multi-VAP operation.) So it's quite possible that once I methodize the CABQ and beacon handling, I can just drop ath_tx_draintxq() in its entirety. Finally, it's also quite possible that I can remove ath_tx_draintxq() in the future and just "teach" it to not check the status when doing EDMA.

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.

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.

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.

Pause and unpause the software queues for a given node based on the net80211 node power save state. * Add an ATH_NODE_UNLOCK_ASSERT() check * Add a new node field - an_is_powersave * Pause/unpause the queue based on the node state * Attempt to handle net80211 concurrency issues so the queue doesn't get paused/unpaused more than once at a time from the net80211 power save code. Whilst here (and breaking my usual rule), set CLRDMASK when a queue is unpaused, regardless of whether the queue has some pending traffic. This means the first frame from that TID (now or later) will hvae CLRDMASK set. Also whilst here, bump the swretrymax counters whenever the filtered frames code expires a frame. Again, breaking my rule, but this is just a statistics thing rather than a functional change. This doesn't fix ps-poll (but it doesn't break it too much worse than it is at the present) or correcting the TID updates. That's next on the list. Tested: * AR9220 AP (Atheros AP96 reference design) * Macbook Pro and LG Optimus 1 Android phone, both setting and clearing power save state (but not using PS-POLL.)

This is racy, but it's no less racy than the current net80211 power save queue management code. Specifically, with multiple TX threads, it's quite plausible that parallel state updates will race and the TIM will be left in an inconsistent state. I'll address that in a follow-up commit.

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.

Remove ATH_SUPPORT_TDMA and use IEEE80211_SUPPORT_TDMA instead. It doesn't make much sense to configure driver support w/o net80211. Note this means ath now depends on opt_wlan.h.

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.

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.

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.)

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.)

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.

Implement frame (data) transmission using if_transmit(), rather than if_start(). This removes the overlapping data path TX from occuring, which solves quite a number of the potential TX queue races in ath(4). It doesn't fix the net80211 layer TX queue races and it doesn't fix the raw TX path yet, but it's an important step towards this. This hasn't dropped the TX performance in my testing; primarily because now the TX path can quickly queue frames and continue along processing. This involves a few rather deep changes: * Use the ath_buf as a queue placeholder for now, as we need to be able to support queuing a list of mbufs (ie, when transmitting fragments) and m_nextpkt can't be used here (because it's what is joining the fragments together) * if_transmit() now simply allocates the ath_buf and queues it to a driver TX staging queue. * TX is now moved into a taskqueue function. * The TX taskqueue function now dequeues and transmits frames. * Fragments are handled correctly here - as the current API passes the fragment list as one mbuf list (joined with m_nextpkt) through to the driver if_transmit(). * For the couple of places where ath_start() may be called (mostly from net80211 when starting the VAP up again), just reimplement it using the new enqueue and taskqueue methods. What I don't like (about this work and the TX code in general): * I'm using the same lock for the staging TX queue management and the actual TX. This isn't required; I'm just being slack. * I haven't yet moved TX to a separate taskqueue (but the taskqueue is created); it's easy enough to do this later if necessary. I just need to make sure it's a higher priority queue, so TX has the same behaviour as it used to (where it would preempt existing RX..) * I need to re-review the TX path a little more and make sure that ieee80211_node_*() functions aren't called within the TX lock. When queueing, I should just push failed frames into a queue and when I'm wrapping up the TX code, unlock the TX lock and call ieee80211_node_free() on each. * It would be nice if I could hold the TX lock for the entire TX and TX completion, rather than this release/re-acquire behaviour. But that requires that I shuffle around the TX completion code to handle actual ath_buf free and net80211 callback/free outside of the TX lock. That's one of my next projects. * the ic_raw_xmit() path doesn't use this yet - so it still has sequencing problems with parallel, overlapping calls to the data path. I'll fix this later. Tested: * Hostap - AR9280, AR9220 * STA - AR5212, AR9280, AR5416

Extend the beacon code slightly to support AP mode beaconing for the EDMA HAL hardware. * The EDMA HAL code assumes the nexttbtt and intval values are in TU/8 units, rather than TU. For now, just "hack" around that here, at least until I code up something to translate it in the HAL. * Setup some different TXQ flags for EDMA hardware. * The EDMA HAL doesn't support setting the first rate series via ath_hal_setuptxdesc() - instead, a call to ath_hal_set11nratescenario() is always required. So for now, just do an 11n rate series setup for EDMA beacon frames. This allows my AR9380 to successfully transmit beacon frames. However, CABQ TX and all normal data frame TX and TX completion is still not functional and will require some more significant code churn to make work.

Flesh out configurable hardware based LED blinking. The hardware (MAC) LED blinking involves a few things: * Selecting which GPIO pins map to the MAC "power" and "network" lines; * Configuring the MAC LED state (associated, scanning, idle); * Configuring the MAC LED blinking type and speed. The AR5416 HAL configures the normal blinking setup - ie, blink rate based on TX/RX throughput. The default AR5212 HAL doesn't program in any specific blinking type, but the default of 0 is the same. This code introduces a few things: * The hardware led override is configured via sysctl 'hardled'; * The MAC network and power LED GPIO lines can be set, or left at -1 if needed. This is intended to allow only one of the hardware MUX entries to be configured (eg for PCIe cards which only have one LED exposed.)

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.

Pull out the if_transmit() work and revert back to ath_start(). My changed had some rather significant behavioural changes to throughput. The two issues I noticed: * With if_start and the ifnet mbuf queue, any temporary latency would get eaten up by some mbufs being queued. With ath_transmit() queuing things to ath_buf's, I'd only get 512 TX buffers before I couldn't queue any further frames. * There's also some non-zero latency involved with TX being pushed into a taskqueue via direct dispatch. Any time the scheduler didn't immediately schedule the ath TX task would cause extra latency. Various 1ge/10ge drivers implement both direct dispatch (if the TX lock can be acquired) and deferred task transmission (if the TX lock can't be acquired), with frames being pushed into a drbd queue. I'll have to do this at some point, but until I figure out how to deal with 802.11 fragments, I'll have to wait a while longer. So what I saw: * lots of extra latency, specially under load - if the taskqueue wasn't immediately scheduled, things went pear shaped; * any extra latency would result in TX ath_buf's taking their sweet time being replenished, so any further calls to ath_transmit() would drop mbufs. * .. yes, there's no explicit backpressure here - things are just dropped. Eek. With this, the general performance has gone up, but those subtle if_start() related race conditions are back. For some reason, this is doubly-obvious with the AR5416 NIC and I don't quite understand why yet. There's an unrelated issue with AR5416 performance in STA mode (it's fine in AP mode when bridging frames, weirdly..) that requires a little further investigation. Specifically - it works fine on a Lenovo T40 (single core CPU) running a March 2012 9-STABLE kernel, but a Lenovo T60 (dual core) running an early November 2012 kernel behaves very poorly. The same hardware with an AR9160 or AR9280 behaves perfectly.

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.

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.)

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

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.

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.

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

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.

Pause and unpause the software queues for a given node based on the net80211 node power save state. * Add an ATH_NODE_UNLOCK_ASSERT() check * Add a new node field - an_is_powersave * Pause/unpause the queue based on the node state * Attempt to handle net80211 concurrency issues so the queue doesn't get paused/unpaused more than once at a time from the net80211 power save code. Whilst here (and breaking my usual rule), set CLRDMASK when a queue is unpaused, regardless of whether the queue has some pending traffic. This means the first frame from that TID (now or later) will hvae CLRDMASK set. Also whilst here, bump the swretrymax counters whenever the filtered frames code expires a frame. Again, breaking my rule, but this is just a statistics thing rather than a functional change. This doesn't fix ps-poll (but it doesn't break it too much worse than it is at the present) or correcting the TID updates. That's next on the list. Tested: * AR9220 AP (Atheros AP96 reference design) * Macbook Pro and LG Optimus 1 Android phone, both setting and clearing power save state (but not using PS-POLL.)

Begin fleshing out some software queue awareness for TIM handling with the power save queue. * introduce some new ATH_NODE lock protected fields, tracking the net80211 psq and TIM state; * when doing buffer transitions - ie, when sending and completing buffers - check the state of the SWQ and update the TIM appropriately. * when clearing the TIM bit, if the SWQ is not empty then delay clearing it. This is racy, but it's no less racy than the current net80211 power save queue management code. Specifically, with multiple TX threads, it's quite plausible that parallel state updates will race and the TIM will be left in an inconsistent state. I'll address that in a follow-up commit.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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 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.

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 of the 11n parts can hang under certain conditions without necessary workarounds, add code to detect these hangs and distinguish them from other events; note this code is only invoked for anomalous conditions and (at the moment) is a noop because the hang detection code is in a new hal that's coming shortly

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.

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.

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. 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.

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.)

DPRINTF(sc, ATH_DEBUG_RESET, "%s: called\n", __func__);
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.

/* Ensure ATH_LOCK isn't held; ath_rx_proc can't be locked */
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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Push the actual TX processing into the ath taskqueue, rather than having it run out of multiple concurrent contexts. Right now the ath(4) TX processing is a bit hairy. Specifically: * It was running out of ath_start(), which could occur from multiple concurrent sending processes (as if_start() can be started from multiple sending threads nowdays.. sigh) * during RX if fast frames are enabled (so not really at the moment, not until I fix this particular feature again..) * during ath_reset() - so anything which calls that * during ath_tx_proc*() in the ath taskqueue - ie, TX is attempted again after TX completion, as there's now hopefully some ath_bufs available. * Then, the ic_raw_xmit() method can queue raw frames for transmission at any time, from any net80211 TX context. Ew. This has caused packet ordering issues in the past - specifically, there's absolutely no guarantee that preemption won't occuring _during_ ath_start() by the TX completion processing, which will call ath_start() again. It's a mess - 802.11 really, really wants things to be in sequence or things go all kinds of loopy. So: * create a new task struct for TX'ing; * make the if_start method simply queue the task on the ath taskqueue; * make ath_start() just be called by the new TX task; * make ath_tx_kick() just schedule the ath TX task, rather than directly calling ath_start(). Now yes, this means that I've taken a step backwards in terms of concurrency - TX -and- RX now occur in the same single-task taskqueue. But there's nothing stopping me from separating out the TX / TX completion code into a separate taskqueue which runs in parallel with the RX path, if that ends up being appropriate for some platforms. This fixes the CCMP/seqno concurrency issues that creep up when you transmit large amounts of uni-directional UDP traffic (>200MBit) on a FreeBSD STA -> AP, as now there's only one TX context no matter what's going on (TX completion->retry/software queue, userland->net80211->ath_start(), TX completion -> ath_start()); but it won't fix any concurrency issues between raw transmitted frames and non-raw transmitted frames (eg EAPOL frames on TID 16 and any other TID 16 multicast traffic that gets put on the CABQ.) That is going to require a bunch more re-architecture before it's feasible to fix. In any case, this is a big step towards making the majority of the TX path locking irrelevant, as now almost all TX activity occurs in the taskqueue. Phew.

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.

Migrate the TX path code out of if_ath and into a separate source file. There's two reasons for this: * the raw and non-raw TX path shares a lot of duplicate code which should be refactored; * the 11n-ready chip TX path needs a little reworking.

Implement frame (data) transmission using if_transmit(), rather than if_start(). This removes the overlapping data path TX from occuring, which solves quite a number of the potential TX queue races in ath(4). It doesn't fix the net80211 layer TX queue races and it doesn't fix the raw TX path yet, but it's an important step towards this. This hasn't dropped the TX performance in my testing; primarily because now the TX path can quickly queue frames and continue along processing. This involves a few rather deep changes: * Use the ath_buf as a queue placeholder for now, as we need to be able to support queuing a list of mbufs (ie, when transmitting fragments) and m_nextpkt can't be used here (because it's what is joining the fragments together) * if_transmit() now simply allocates the ath_buf and queues it to a driver TX staging queue. * TX is now moved into a taskqueue function. * The TX taskqueue function now dequeues and transmits frames. * Fragments are handled correctly here - as the current API passes the fragment list as one mbuf list (joined with m_nextpkt) through to the driver if_transmit(). * For the couple of places where ath_start() may be called (mostly from net80211 when starting the VAP up again), just reimplement it using the new enqueue and taskqueue methods. What I don't like (about this work and the TX code in general): * I'm using the same lock for the staging TX queue management and the actual TX. This isn't required; I'm just being slack. * I haven't yet moved TX to a separate taskqueue (but the taskqueue is created); it's easy enough to do this later if necessary. I just need to make sure it's a higher priority queue, so TX has the same behaviour as it used to (where it would preempt existing RX..) * I need to re-review the TX path a little more and make sure that ieee80211_node_*() functions aren't called within the TX lock. When queueing, I should just push failed frames into a queue and when I'm wrapping up the TX code, unlock the TX lock and call ieee80211_node_free() on each. * It would be nice if I could hold the TX lock for the entire TX and TX completion, rather than this release/re-acquire behaviour. But that requires that I shuffle around the TX completion code to handle actual ath_buf free and net80211 callback/free outside of the TX lock. That's one of my next projects. * the ic_raw_xmit() path doesn't use this yet - so it still has sequencing problems with parallel, overlapping calls to the data path. I'll fix this later. Tested: * Hostap - AR9280, AR9220 * STA - AR5212, AR9280, AR5416

Migrate the TX path code out of if_ath and into a separate source file. There's two reasons for this: * the raw and non-raw TX path shares a lot of duplicate code which should be refactored; * the 11n-ready chip TX path needs a little reworking.

Push the actual TX processing into the ath taskqueue, rather than having it run out of multiple concurrent contexts. Right now the ath(4) TX processing is a bit hairy. Specifically: * It was running out of ath_start(), which could occur from multiple concurrent sending processes (as if_start() can be started from multiple sending threads nowdays.. sigh) * during RX if fast frames are enabled (so not really at the moment, not until I fix this particular feature again..) * during ath_reset() - so anything which calls that * during ath_tx_proc*() in the ath taskqueue - ie, TX is attempted again after TX completion, as there's now hopefully some ath_bufs available. * Then, the ic_raw_xmit() method can queue raw frames for transmission at any time, from any net80211 TX context. Ew. This has caused packet ordering issues in the past - specifically, there's absolutely no guarantee that preemption won't occuring _during_ ath_start() by the TX completion processing, which will call ath_start() again. It's a mess - 802.11 really, really wants things to be in sequence or things go all kinds of loopy. So: * create a new task struct for TX'ing; * make the if_start method simply queue the task on the ath taskqueue; * make ath_start() just be called by the new TX task; * make ath_tx_kick() just schedule the ath TX task, rather than directly calling ath_start(). Now yes, this means that I've taken a step backwards in terms of concurrency - TX -and- RX now occur in the same single-task taskqueue. But there's nothing stopping me from separating out the TX / TX completion code into a separate taskqueue which runs in parallel with the RX path, if that ends up being appropriate for some platforms. This fixes the CCMP/seqno concurrency issues that creep up when you transmit large amounts of uni-directional UDP traffic (>200MBit) on a FreeBSD STA -> AP, as now there's only one TX context no matter what's going on (TX completion->retry/software queue, userland->net80211->ath_start(), TX completion -> ath_start()); but it won't fix any concurrency issues between raw transmitted frames and non-raw transmitted frames (eg EAPOL frames on TID 16 and any other TID 16 multicast traffic that gets put on the CABQ.) That is going to require a bunch more re-architecture before it's feasible to fix. In any case, this is a big step towards making the majority of the TX path locking irrelevant, as now almost all TX activity occurs in the taskqueue. Phew.

Pull out the if_transmit() work and revert back to ath_start(). My changed had some rather significant behavioural changes to throughput. The two issues I noticed: * With if_start and the ifnet mbuf queue, any temporary latency would get eaten up by some mbufs being queued. With ath_transmit() queuing things to ath_buf's, I'd only get 512 TX buffers before I couldn't queue any further frames. * There's also some non-zero latency involved with TX being pushed into a taskqueue via direct dispatch. Any time the scheduler didn't immediately schedule the ath TX task would cause extra latency. Various 1ge/10ge drivers implement both direct dispatch (if the TX lock can be acquired) and deferred task transmission (if the TX lock can't be acquired), with frames being pushed into a drbd queue. I'll have to do this at some point, but until I figure out how to deal with 802.11 fragments, I'll have to wait a while longer. So what I saw: * lots of extra latency, specially under load - if the taskqueue wasn't immediately scheduled, things went pear shaped; * any extra latency would result in TX ath_buf's taking their sweet time being replenished, so any further calls to ath_transmit() would drop mbufs. * .. yes, there's no explicit backpressure here - things are just dropped. Eek. With this, the general performance has gone up, but those subtle if_start() related race conditions are back. For some reason, this is doubly-obvious with the AR5416 NIC and I don't quite understand why yet. There's an unrelated issue with AR5416 performance in STA mode (it's fine in AP mode when bridging frames, weirdly..) that requires a little further investigation. Specifically - it works fine on a Lenovo T40 (single core CPU) running a March 2012 9-STABLE kernel, but a Lenovo T60 (dual core) running an early November 2012 kernel behaves very poorly. The same hardware with an AR9160 or AR9280 behaves perfectly.

It's a mess - 802.11 really, really wants things to be in sequence or things go all kinds of loopy. So: * create a new task struct for TX'ing; * make the if_start method simply queue the task on the ath taskqueue; * make ath_start() just be called by the new TX task; * make ath_tx_kick() just schedule the ath TX task, rather than directly calling ath_start(). Now yes, this means that I've taken a step backwards in terms of concurrency - TX -and- RX now occur in the same single-task taskqueue. But there's nothing stopping me from separating out the TX / TX completion code into a separate taskqueue which runs in parallel with the RX path, if that ends up being appropriate for some platforms. This fixes the CCMP/seqno concurrency issues that creep up when you transmit large amounts of uni-directional UDP traffic (>200MBit) on a FreeBSD STA -> AP, as now there's only one TX context no matter what's going on (TX completion->retry/software queue, userland->net80211->ath_start(), TX completion -> ath_start()); but it won't fix any concurrency issues between raw transmitted frames and non-raw transmitted frames (eg EAPOL frames on TID 16 and any other TID 16 multicast traffic that gets put on the CABQ.) That is going to require a bunch more re-architecture before it's feasible to fix. In any case, this is a big step towards making the majority of the TX path locking irrelevant, as now almost all TX activity occurs in the taskqueue. Phew.

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.

I give up - introduce a TX lock to serialise TX operations. I've tried serialising TX using queues and such but unfortunately due to how this interacts with the locking going on elsewhere in the networking stack, the TX task gets delayed, resulting in quite a noticable throughput loss: * baseline TCP for 2x2 11n HT40 is ~ 170mbit/sec; * TCP for TX task in the ath taskq, with the RX also going on - 80mbit/sec; * TCP for TX task in a separate, second taskq - 100mbit/sec. So for now I'm going with the Linux wireless stack approach - lock tx early. The linux code does in the wireless stack, before the 802.11 state stuff happens and before it's punted to the driver. But TX locking needs to also occur at the driver layer as the TX completion code _also_ begins to drain the ifnet TX queue. Whilst I'm here, add some KTR traces for the TX path. Note: * This really should be done at the net80211 layer (as well, at least.) But that'll have to wait for a little more thought to happen.

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

Various 1ge/10ge drivers implement both direct dispatch (if the TX lock can be acquired) and deferred task transmission (if the TX lock can't be acquired), with frames being pushed into a drbd queue. I'll have to do this at some point, but until I figure out how to deal with 802.11 fragments, I'll have to wait a while longer.

For some reason, this is doubly-obvious with the AR5416 NIC and I don't quite understand why yet.

Implement frame (data) transmission using if_transmit(), rather than if_start(). This removes the overlapping data path TX from occuring, which solves quite a number of the potential TX queue races in ath(4). It doesn't fix the net80211 layer TX queue races and it doesn't fix the raw TX path yet, but it's an important step towards this. This hasn't dropped the TX performance in my testing; primarily because now the TX path can quickly queue frames and continue along processing. This involves a few rather deep changes: * Use the ath_buf as a queue placeholder for now, as we need to be able to support queuing a list of mbufs (ie, when transmitting fragments) and m_nextpkt can't be used here (because it's what is joining the fragments together) * if_transmit() now simply allocates the ath_buf and queues it to a driver TX staging queue. * TX is now moved into a taskqueue function. * The TX taskqueue function now dequeues and transmits frames. * Fragments are handled correctly here - as the current API passes the fragment list as one mbuf list (joined with m_nextpkt) through to the driver if_transmit(). * For the couple of places where ath_start() may be called (mostly from net80211 when starting the VAP up again), just reimplement it using the new enqueue and taskqueue methods. What I don't like (about this work and the TX code in general): * I'm using the same lock for the staging TX queue management and the actual TX. This isn't required; I'm just being slack. * I haven't yet moved TX to a separate taskqueue (but the taskqueue is created); it's easy enough to do this later if necessary. I just need to make sure it's a higher priority queue, so TX has the same behaviour as it used to (where it would preempt existing RX..) * I need to re-review the TX path a little more and make sure that ieee80211_node_*() functions aren't called within the TX lock. When queueing, I should just push failed frames into a queue and when I'm wrapping up the TX code, unlock the TX lock and call ieee80211_node_free() on each. * It would be nice if I could hold the TX lock for the entire TX and TX completion, rather than this release/re-acquire behaviour. But that requires that I shuffle around the TX completion code to handle actual ath_buf free and net80211 callback/free outside of the TX lock. That's one of my next projects. * the ic_raw_xmit() path doesn't use this yet - so it still has sequencing problems with parallel, overlapping calls to the data path. I'll fix this later.

What I don't like (about this work and the TX code in general): * I'm using the same lock for the staging TX queue management and the actual TX. This isn't required; I'm just being slack. * I haven't yet moved TX to a separate taskqueue (but the taskqueue is created); it's easy enough to do this later if necessary. I just need to make sure it's a higher priority queue, so TX has the same behaviour as it used to (where it would preempt existing RX..) * I need to re-review the TX path a little more and make sure that ieee80211_node_*() functions aren't called within the TX lock. When queueing, I should just push failed frames into a queue and when I'm wrapping up the TX code, unlock the TX lock and call ieee80211_node_free() on each. * It would be nice if I could hold the TX lock for the entire TX and TX completion, rather than this release/re-acquire behaviour. But that requires that I shuffle around the TX completion code to handle actual ath_buf free and net80211 callback/free outside of the TX lock. That's one of my next projects. * the ic_raw_xmit() path doesn't use this yet - so it still has sequencing problems with parallel, overlapping calls to the data path. I'll fix this later.

Pull out the if_transmit() work and revert back to ath_start(). My changed had some rather significant behavioural changes to throughput. The two issues I noticed: * With if_start and the ifnet mbuf queue, any temporary latency would get eaten up by some mbufs being queued. With ath_transmit() queuing things to ath_buf's, I'd only get 512 TX buffers before I couldn't queue any further frames. * There's also some non-zero latency involved with TX being pushed into a taskqueue via direct dispatch. Any time the scheduler didn't immediately schedule the ath TX task would cause extra latency. Various 1ge/10ge drivers implement both direct dispatch (if the TX lock can be acquired) and deferred task transmission (if the TX lock can't be acquired), with frames being pushed into a drbd queue. I'll have to do this at some point, but until I figure out how to deal with 802.11 fragments, I'll have to wait a while longer. So what I saw: * lots of extra latency, specially under load - if the taskqueue wasn't immediately scheduled, things went pear shaped; * any extra latency would result in TX ath_buf's taking their sweet time being replenished, so any further calls to ath_transmit() would drop mbufs. * .. yes, there's no explicit backpressure here - things are just dropped. Eek. With this, the general performance has gone up, but those subtle if_start() related race conditions are back. For some reason, this is doubly-obvious with the AR5416 NIC and I don't quite understand why yet. There's an unrelated issue with AR5416 performance in STA mode (it's fine in AP mode when bridging frames, weirdly..) that requires a little further investigation. Specifically - it works fine on a Lenovo T40 (single core CPU) running a March 2012 9-STABLE kernel, but a Lenovo T60 (dual core) running an early November 2012 kernel behaves very poorly.

ATH_TXBUF_UNLOCK(sc);
Delete the per-TXQ locks and replace them with a single TX lock. I couldn't think of a way to maintain the hardware TXQ locks _and_ layer on top of that per-TXQ software queuing and any other kind of fine-grained locks (eg per-TID, or per-node locks.) So for now, to facilitate some further code refactoring and development as part of the final push to get software queue ps-poll and u-apsd handling into this driver, just do away with them entirely. I may eventually bring them back at some point, when it looks slightly more architectually cleaner to do so. But as it stands at the present, it's not really buying us much: * in order to properly serialise things and not get bitten by scheduling and locking interactions with things higher up in the stack, we need to wrap the whole TX path in a long held lock. Otherwise we can end up being pre-empted during frame handling, resulting in some out of order frame handling between sequence number allocation and encryption handling (ie, the seqno and the CCMP IV get out of sequence); * .. so whilst that's the case, holding the lock for that long means that we're acquiring and releasing the TXQ lock _inside_ that context; * And we also acquire it per-frame during frame completion, but we currently can't hold the lock for the duration of the TX completion as we need to call net80211 layer things with the locks _unheld_ to avoid LOR. * .. the other places were grab that lock are reset/flush, which don't happen often. My eventual aim is to change the TX path so all rejected frame transmissions and all frame completions result in any ieee80211_free_node() calls to occur outside of the TX lock; then I can cut back on the amount of locking that goes on here. There may be some LORs that occur when ieee80211_free_node() is called when the TX queue path fails; I'll begin to address these in follow-up commits.

ath_tx_update_tim(sc, ni, 1);
Implement frame (data) transmission using if_transmit(), rather than if_start(). This removes the overlapping data path TX from occuring, which solves quite a number of the potential TX queue races in ath(4). It doesn't fix the net80211 layer TX queue races and it doesn't fix the raw TX path yet, but it's an important step towards this. This hasn't dropped the TX performance in my testing; primarily because now the TX path can quickly queue frames and continue along processing. This involves a few rather deep changes: * Use the ath_buf as a queue placeholder for now, as we need to be able to support queuing a list of mbufs (ie, when transmitting fragments) and m_nextpkt can't be used here (because it's what is joining the fragments together) * if_transmit() now simply allocates the ath_buf and queues it to a driver TX staging queue. * TX is now moved into a taskqueue function. * The TX taskqueue function now dequeues and transmits frames. * Fragments are handled correctly here - as the current API passes the fragment list as one mbuf list (joined with m_nextpkt) through to the driver if_transmit(). * For the couple of places where ath_start() may be called (mostly from net80211 when starting the VAP up again), just reimplement it using the new enqueue and taskqueue methods. What I don't like (about this work and the TX code in general): * I'm using the same lock for the staging TX queue management and the actual TX. This isn't required; I'm just being slack. * I haven't yet moved TX to a separate taskqueue (but the taskqueue is created); it's easy enough to do this later if necessary. I just need to make sure it's a higher priority queue, so TX has the same behaviour as it used to (where it would preempt existing RX..) * I need to re-review the TX path a little more and make sure that ieee80211_node_*() functions aren't called within the TX lock. When queueing, I should just push failed frames into a queue and when I'm wrapping up the TX code, unlock the TX lock and call ieee80211_node_free() on each. * It would be nice if I could hold the TX lock for the entire TX and TX completion, rather than this release/re-acquire behaviour. But that requires that I shuffle around the TX completion code to handle actual ath_buf free and net80211 callback/free outside of the TX lock. That's one of my next projects. * the ic_raw_xmit() path doesn't use this yet - so it still has sequencing problems with parallel, overlapping calls to the data path. I'll fix this later. Tested: * Hostap - AR9280, AR9220 * STA - AR5212, AR9280, AR5416

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.

Pull out the if_transmit() work and revert back to ath_start(). My changed had some rather significant behavioural changes to throughput. The two issues I noticed: * With if_start and the ifnet mbuf queue, any temporary latency would get eaten up by some mbufs being queued. With ath_transmit() queuing things to ath_buf's, I'd only get 512 TX buffers before I couldn't queue any further frames. * There's also some non-zero latency involved with TX being pushed into a taskqueue via direct dispatch. Any time the scheduler didn't immediately schedule the ath TX task would cause extra latency. Various 1ge/10ge drivers implement both direct dispatch (if the TX lock can be acquired) and deferred task transmission (if the TX lock can't be acquired), with frames being pushed into a drbd queue. I'll have to do this at some point, but until I figure out how to deal with 802.11 fragments, I'll have to wait a while longer. So what I saw: * lots of extra latency, specially under load - if the taskqueue wasn't immediately scheduled, things went pear shaped; * any extra latency would result in TX ath_buf's taking their sweet time being replenished, so any further calls to ath_transmit() would drop mbufs. * .. yes, there's no explicit backpressure here - things are just dropped. Eek. With this, the general performance has gone up, but those subtle if_start() related race conditions are back. For some reason, this is doubly-obvious with the AR5416 NIC and I don't quite understand why yet. There's an unrelated issue with AR5416 performance in STA mode (it's fine in AP mode when bridging frames, weirdly..) that requires a little further investigation. Specifically - it works fine on a Lenovo T40 (single core CPU) running a March 2012 9-STABLE kernel, but a Lenovo T60 (dual core) running an early November 2012 kernel behaves very poorly. The same hardware with an AR9160 or AR9280 behaves perfectly.

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.

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.

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.

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

*rssi = ic->ic_node_getrssi(ni);
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.

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.

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

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

Refactor out the TX buffer management and completion code in preparation for TX aggregation. * Add in logic which calls ath_buf bf->bf_comp if it's set.

Delete the per-TXQ locks and replace them with a single TX lock. I couldn't think of a way to maintain the hardware TXQ locks _and_ layer on top of that per-TXQ software queuing and any other kind of fine-grained locks (eg per-TID, or per-node locks.) So for now, to facilitate some further code refactoring and development as part of the final push to get software queue ps-poll and u-apsd handling into this driver, just do away with them entirely. I may eventually bring them back at some point, when it looks slightly more architectually cleaner to do so. But as it stands at the present, it's not really buying us much: * in order to properly serialise things and not get bitten by scheduling and locking interactions with things higher up in the stack, we need to wrap the whole TX path in a long held lock. Otherwise we can end up being pre-empted during frame handling, resulting in some out of order frame handling between sequence number allocation and encryption handling (ie, the seqno and the CCMP IV get out of sequence); * .. so whilst that's the case, holding the lock for that long means that we're acquiring and releasing the TXQ lock _inside_ that context; * And we also acquire it per-frame during frame completion, but we currently can't hold the lock for the duration of the TX completion as we need to call net80211 layer things with the locks _unheld_ to avoid LOR. * .. the other places were grab that lock are reset/flush, which don't happen often. My eventual aim is to change the TX path so all rejected frame transmissions and all frame completions result in any ieee80211_free_node() calls to occur outside of the TX lock; then I can cut back on the amount of locking that goes on here. There may be some LORs that occur when ieee80211_free_node() is called when the TX queue path fails; I'll begin to address these in follow-up commits.

Break out ath_draintxq() into a method and un-methodize ath_tx_processq(). Now that I understand what's going on with this, I've realised that it's going to be quite difficult to implement a processq method in the EDMA case. Because there's a separate TX status FIFO, I can't just run processq() on each EDMA TXQ to see what's finished. i have to actually run the TX status queue and handle individual TXQs. So: * unmethodize ath_tx_processq(); * leave ath_tx_draintxq() as a method, as it only uses the completion status for debugging rather than actively completing the frames (ie, all frames here are failed); * Methodize ath_draintxq(). The EDMA ath_draintxq() will have to take care of running the TX completion FIFO before (potentially) freeing frames in the queue. The only two places where ath_tx_draintxq() (on a single TXQ) are used: * ath_draintxq(); and * the CABQ handling in the beacon setup code - it drains the CABQ before populating the CABQ with frames for a new beacon (when doing multi-VAP operation.) So it's quite possible that once I methodize the CABQ and beacon handling, I can just drop ath_tx_draintxq() in its entirety. Finally, it's also quite possible that I can remove ath_tx_draintxq() in the future and just "teach" it to not check the status when doing EDMA.

Delete the per-TXQ locks and replace them with a single TX lock. I couldn't think of a way to maintain the hardware TXQ locks _and_ layer on top of that per-TXQ software queuing and any other kind of fine-grained locks (eg per-TID, or per-node locks.) So for now, to facilitate some further code refactoring and development as part of the final push to get software queue ps-poll and u-apsd handling into this driver, just do away with them entirely. I may eventually bring them back at some point, when it looks slightly more architectually cleaner to do so. But as it stands at the present, it's not really buying us much: * in order to properly serialise things and not get bitten by scheduling and locking interactions with things higher up in the stack, we need to wrap the whole TX path in a long held lock. Otherwise we can end up being pre-empted during frame handling, resulting in some out of order frame handling between sequence number allocation and encryption handling (ie, the seqno and the CCMP IV get out of sequence); * .. so whilst that's the case, holding the lock for that long means that we're acquiring and releasing the TXQ lock _inside_ that context; * And we also acquire it per-frame during frame completion, but we currently can't hold the lock for the duration of the TX completion as we need to call net80211 layer things with the locks _unheld_ to avoid LOR. * .. the other places were grab that lock are reset/flush, which don't happen often. My eventual aim is to change the TX path so all rejected frame transmissions and all frame completions result in any ieee80211_free_node() calls to occur outside of the TX lock; then I can cut back on the amount of locking that goes on here.

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.

/* Kick the software TXQ scheduler */
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.

Go back to direct-dispatch of the software queue and frame TX paths when they're being called from the TX completion handler. Going (back) through the taskqueue is just adding extra locking and latency to packet operations. This improves performance a little bit on most NICs. It still hasn't restored the original performance of the AR5416 NIC but the AR9160, AR9280 and later NICs behave very well with this. Tested: * AR5416 STA (still tops out at ~ 70mbit TCP, rather than 150mbit TCP..) * AR9160 hostap (good for both TX and RX) * AR9280 hostap (good for both TX and RX)

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.

Pull out the if_transmit() work and revert back to ath_start(). My changed had some rather significant behavioural changes to throughput. The two issues I noticed: * With if_start and the ifnet mbuf queue, any temporary latency would get eaten up by some mbufs being queued. With ath_transmit() queuing things to ath_buf's, I'd only get 512 TX buffers before I couldn't queue any further frames. * There's also some non-zero latency involved with TX being pushed into a taskqueue via direct dispatch. Any time the scheduler didn't immediately schedule the ath TX task would cause extra latency. Various 1ge/10ge drivers implement both direct dispatch (if the TX lock can be acquired) and deferred task transmission (if the TX lock can't be acquired), with frames being pushed into a drbd queue. I'll have to do this at some point, but until I figure out how to deal with 802.11 fragments, I'll have to wait a while longer. So what I saw: * lots of extra latency, specially under load - if the taskqueue wasn't immediately scheduled, things went pear shaped; * any extra latency would result in TX ath_buf's taking their sweet time being replenished, so any further calls to ath_transmit() would drop mbufs. * .. yes, there's no explicit backpressure here - things are just dropped. Eek. With this, the general performance has gone up, but those subtle if_start() related race conditions are back. For some reason, this is doubly-obvious with the AR5416 NIC and I don't quite understand why yet. There's an unrelated issue with AR5416 performance in STA mode (it's fine in AP mode when bridging frames, weirdly..) that requires a little further investigation. Specifically - it works fine on a Lenovo T40 (single core CPU) running a March 2012 9-STABLE kernel, but a Lenovo T60 (dual core) running an early November 2012 kernel behaves very poorly. The same hardware with an AR9160 or AR9280 behaves perfectly.

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.

Pull out the if_transmit() work and revert back to ath_start(). My changed had some rather significant behavioural changes to throughput. The two issues I noticed: * With if_start and the ifnet mbuf queue, any temporary latency would get eaten up by some mbufs being queued. With ath_transmit() queuing things to ath_buf's, I'd only get 512 TX buffers before I couldn't queue any further frames. * There's also some non-zero latency involved with TX being pushed into a taskqueue via direct dispatch. Any time the scheduler didn't immediately schedule the ath TX task would cause extra latency. Various 1ge/10ge drivers implement both direct dispatch (if the TX lock can be acquired) and deferred task transmission (if the TX lock can't be acquired), with frames being pushed into a drbd queue. I'll have to do this at some point, but until I figure out how to deal with 802.11 fragments, I'll have to wait a while longer. So what I saw: * lots of extra latency, specially under load - if the taskqueue wasn't immediately scheduled, things went pear shaped; * any extra latency would result in TX ath_buf's taking their sweet time being replenished, so any further calls to ath_transmit() would drop mbufs. * .. yes, there's no explicit backpressure here - things are just dropped. Eek. With this, the general performance has gone up, but those subtle if_start() related race conditions are back. For some reason, this is doubly-obvious with the AR5416 NIC and I don't quite understand why yet. There's an unrelated issue with AR5416 performance in STA mode (it's fine in AP mode when bridging frames, weirdly..) that requires a little further investigation. Specifically - it works fine on a Lenovo T40 (single core CPU) running a March 2012 9-STABLE kernel, but a Lenovo T60 (dual core) running an early November 2012 kernel behaves very poorly. The same hardware with an AR9160 or AR9280 behaves perfectly.

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.

I may eventually bring them back at some point, when it looks slightly more architectually cleaner to do so. But as it stands at the present, it's not really buying us much: * in order to properly serialise things and not get bitten by scheduling and locking interactions with things higher up in the stack, we need to wrap the whole TX path in a long held lock. Otherwise we can end up being pre-empted during frame handling, resulting in some out of order frame handling between sequence number allocation and encryption handling (ie, the seqno and the CCMP IV get out of sequence); * .. so whilst that's the case, holding the lock for that long means that we're acquiring and releasing the TXQ lock _inside_ that context; * And we also acquire it per-frame during frame completion, but we currently can't hold the lock for the duration of the TX completion as we need to call net80211 layer things with the locks _unheld_ to avoid LOR. * .. the other places were grab that lock are reset/flush, which don't happen often. My eventual aim is to change the TX path so all rejected frame transmissions and all frame completions result in any ieee80211_free_node() calls to occur outside of the TX lock; then I can cut back on the amount of locking that goes on here. There may be some LORs that occur when ieee80211_free_node() is called when the TX queue path fails; I'll begin to address these in follow-up commits.

Delete the per-TXQ locks and replace them with a single TX lock. I couldn't think of a way to maintain the hardware TXQ locks _and_ layer on top of that per-TXQ software queuing and any other kind of fine-grained locks (eg per-TID, or per-node locks.) So for now, to facilitate some further code refactoring and development as part of the final push to get software queue ps-poll and u-apsd handling into this driver, just do away with them entirely. I may eventually bring them back at some point, when it looks slightly more architectually cleaner to do so. But as it stands at the present, it's not really buying us much: * in order to properly serialise things and not get bitten by scheduling and locking interactions with things higher up in the stack, we need to wrap the whole TX path in a long held lock. Otherwise we can end up being pre-empted during frame handling, resulting in some out of order frame handling between sequence number allocation and encryption handling (ie, the seqno and the CCMP IV get out of sequence); * .. so whilst that's the case, holding the lock for that long means that we're acquiring and releasing the TXQ lock _inside_ that context; * And we also acquire it per-frame during frame completion, but we currently can't hold the lock for the duration of the TX completion as we need to call net80211 layer things with the locks _unheld_ to avoid LOR. * .. the other places were grab that lock are reset/flush, which don't happen often. My eventual aim is to change the TX path so all rejected frame transmissions and all frame completions result in any ieee80211_free_node() calls to occur outside of the TX lock; then I can cut back on the amount of locking that goes on here. There may be some LORs that occur when ieee80211_free_node() is called when the TX queue path fails; I'll begin to address these in follow-up commits.

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

Break out ath_draintxq() into a method and un-methodize ath_tx_processq(). Now that I understand what's going on with this, I've realised that it's going to be quite difficult to implement a processq method in the EDMA case. Because there's a separate TX status FIFO, I can't just run processq() on each EDMA TXQ to see what's finished. i have to actually run the TX status queue and handle individual TXQs. So: * unmethodize ath_tx_processq(); * leave ath_tx_draintxq() as a method, as it only uses the completion status for debugging rather than actively completing the frames (ie, all frames here are failed); * Methodize ath_draintxq(). The EDMA ath_draintxq() will have to take care of running the TX completion FIFO before (potentially) freeing frames in the queue. The only two places where ath_tx_draintxq() (on a single TXQ) are used: * ath_draintxq(); and * the CABQ handling in the beacon setup code - it drains the CABQ before populating the CABQ with frames for a new beacon (when doing multi-VAP operation.) So it's quite possible that once I methodize the CABQ and beacon handling, I can just drop ath_tx_draintxq() in its entirety. Finally, it's also quite possible that I can remove ath_tx_draintxq() in the future and just "teach" it to not check the status when doing EDMA.

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. 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.

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

Begin abstracting out the RX path in preparation for RX EDMA support. The RX EDMA support requires a modified approach to the RX descriptor handling. Specifically: * There's now two RX queues - high and low priority; * The RX queues are implemented as FIFOs; they're now an array of pointers to buffers; * .. and the RX buffer and descriptor are in the same "buffer", rather than being separate. So to that end, this commit abstracts out most of the RX related functions from the bulk of the driver. Notably, the RX DMA/buffer allocation isn't updated, primarily because I haven't yet fleshed out what it should look like. Whilst I'm here, create a set of matching but mostly unimplemented EDMA stubs. Tested: * AR9280, station mode TODO: * Thorough AP and other mode testing for non-EDMA chips; * Figure out how to allocate RX buffers suitable for RX EDMA, including correctly setting the mbuf length to compensate for the RX descriptor and completion status area.

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.

/* Let DFS at it in case it's a DFS channel */
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.

In addition there is a much longer reset interval used to flush all calibration state and cause everthing to start anew.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Fix hangs (exposed by spectral scan activity) in STA mode when the chip hangs. * Always do a reset in ath_bmiss_proc(), regardless of whether the hardware is "hung" or not. Specifically, for spectral scan, there's likely a whole bunch of potential hangs that we don't (yet) recognise in the HAL. So to avoid staying RX deaf persisting until the station disassociates, just do a no-loss reset. * Set sc_beacons=1 in STA mode. During a reset, the beacon programming isn't done. (It's likely I need to set sc_syncbeacons during a hang reset, but I digress.) Thus after a reset, there's no beacon timer programming to send a BMISS interrupt if beacons aren't heard .. thus if the AP disappears, you won't get notified and you'll have to reset your interface. This hasn't yet fixed all of the hangs that I've seen when debugging spectral scan, but it's certainly reduced the hang frequency and it should improve general STA stability in very noisy environments.

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.
2011-06-29 13:21:52 +00:00

Fix hangs (exposed by spectral scan activity) in STA mode when the chip hangs. * Always do a reset in ath_bmiss_proc(), regardless of whether the hardware is "hung" or not. Specifically, for spectral scan, there's likely a whole bunch of potential hangs that we don't (yet) recognise in the HAL. So to avoid staying RX deaf persisting until the station disassociates, just do a no-loss reset. * Set sc_beacons=1 in STA mode. During a reset, the beacon programming isn't done. (It's likely I need to set sc_syncbeacons during a hang reset, but I digress.) Thus after a reset, there's no beacon timer programming to send a BMISS interrupt if beacons aren't heard .. thus if the AP disappears, you won't get notified and you'll have to reset your interface. This hasn't yet fixed all of the hangs that I've seen when debugging spectral scan, but it's certainly reduced the hang frequency and it should improve general STA stability in very noisy environments.

bad:
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.

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. PR: kern/165060

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)

Add half/quarter rate 11a channel support: o change handling of regdomain-related mib knobs so they can be set post-attach: regdomain, countrycode, outdoor, and xchanmode; the hal will not permit changing the regdomain but we expose it for now o on regdomain/countrycode change recalculate the channel list and push it to the net80211 layer (NB: looks to need more tweaking) o setup rate tables for half/quarter rate channels o honor half/quarter rate channel configs when changing channels o honor half/quarter rate channel configs when setting the slot time o use hack/nonstandard channel numbering scheme for the public safety band to avoid overlapping 2.4G channels on dual-band cards o remove setup of ic_sup_rates; the net80211 layer can do this for us and it simplifies handling of half/quarter rate channels Tested only in Public Safety Band with cards that have RF5112.

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.

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.

taskqueue_enqueue(sc->sc_tq, &sc->sc_resettask);
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.

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.

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.

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.

*
* Since the software queue also may have some frames:
*
* + if the node software queue has frames and the TID state

* + If the stack tries to set the bit, always set it.

*
* Here is the racy part. Since it's possible >1 concurrent,
* overlapping TXes will appear complete with a TX completion in
* another thread, it's possible that the concurrent TIM calls will
* clash. We can't hold the node lock here because setting the
* TIM grabs the net80211 comlock and this may cause a LOR.
* The solution is either to totally serialise _everything_ at
* this point (ie, all TX, completion and any reset/flush go into
* one taskqueue) or a new "ath TIM lock" needs to be created that
* just wraps the driver state change and this call to avp->av_set_tim().
*
* The same race exists in the net80211 power save queue handling
* as well. Since multiple transmitting threads may queue frames
* into the driver, as well as ps-poll and the driver transmitting

Again, breaking my rule, but this is just a statistics thing rather than a functional change. This doesn't fix ps-poll (but it doesn't break it too much worse than it is at the present) or correcting the TID updates. That's next on the list. Tested: * AR9220 AP (Atheros AP96 reference design) * Macbook Pro and LG Optimus 1 Android phone, both setting and clearing power save state (but not using PS-POLL.)

Break out the ath PCI logic into a separate device/module. Introduce the AHB glue for Atheros embedded systems. Right now it's hard-coded for the AR9130 chip whose support isn't yet in this HAL; it'll be added in a subsequent commit. Kernel configuration files now need both 'ath' and 'ath_pci' devices; both modules need to be loaded for the ath device to work.
