frames to occur.
* Create a new function which will set the bf_flags CLRDMASK bit
if required.
* For raw frames, always set CLRDMASK.
* For BAR, ADDBA frames, always set CLRDMASK.
* For everything else, check if CLRDMASK needs to be set before
calling tx_setds() or tx_setds11n().
* When unpausing a queue or drain/resetting it, set tid->clrdmask=1
just to ensure traffic starts flowing.
What I need to do:
* Modify that function to _clear_ the CLRDMASK if it's not required,
or retried frames may have CLRDMASK set when they don't need to.
(Which isn't a huge deal, but..)
Whilst I'm here:
* ath_tx_normal_xmit() should really act like the AMPDU session TX
functions - any incomplete frames will end up being assigned
ath_tx_normal_comp() which will decrement tid->hwq_depth - but that
won't have been incremented.
So whilst I'm here, add a comment to do that.
* Fix the debug print function to be slightly clearer about things;
it's not a good sign when I can't interpret my own debugging output.
I've done some testing on AR9280/AR5416/AR9160 STA and AP modes.

There are unfortunately quite a few odd cases in BAR TX and BAR TX
retransmission that I haven't yet fully diagnosed. So for now, add
this work-around so the resume() function isn't called too often,
decrementing pause to -1 (and causing things to stay paused.)

This change was needed since new (>= 3.3) Linux
servers reply with these strings by default.
This change is mandated by the rfc3530bis draft.

compact, iand also allows us to correct the non-uniform naming of
the PCIM_LINK_* defines, making them all consistent amongst themselves.
This is a mostly mechanical rename:
s/PCIR_EXPRESS_/PCIER_/g
s/PCIM_EXP_/PCIEM_/g
s/PCIM_LINK_/PCIEM_LINK_/g
When this is MFC'd, #defines will be added for the old names to assist

The aggregate path was definitely accessing 'ts' before it was actually
being assigned.
This had the side effect of over-filtering frames, since occasionally that
bit would be '1'.
Whilst here, do the same thing in the non-aggregate completion function -
as calling the filter function may also invalidate bf.

1) Ruleset parser uses a global variable for anchor stack.
2) When processing a wildcard anchor, matching anchors are marked.
To fix the first one:
o Allocate anchor processing stack on stack. To make this allocation
as small as possible, following measures taken:
- Maximum stack size reduced from 64 to 32.
- The struct pf_anchor_stackframe trimmed by one pointer - parent.
We can always obtain the parent via the rule pointer.
- When pf_test_rule() calls pf_get_translation(), the former lends
its stack to the latter, to avoid recursive allocation 32 entries.
The second one appeared more tricky. The code, that marks anchors was
added in OpenBSD rev. 1.516 of pf.c. According to commit log, the idea
is to enable the "quick" keyword on an anchor rule. The feature isn't
documented anywhere. The most obscure part of the 1.516 was that code
examines the "match" mark on a just processed child, which couldn't be
put here by current frame. Since this wasn't documented even in the
commit message and functionality of this is not clear to me, I decided
to drop this examination for now. The rest of 1.516 is redone in a
thread safe manner - the mark isn't put on the anchor itself, but on
current stack frame. To avoid growing stack frame, we utilize LSB
from the rule pointer, relying on kernel malloc(9) returning pointer
aligned addresses.

The hardware can optionally "filter" frames if successive transmissions
to a given node (ie, "entry in the keycache") fail. That way the hardware
can implement a kind of early abort of all the other frames queued to
that destination, rather than simply trying to TX each frame to that
destination (and failing.)
The background:
* If a frame comes back as being filtered, the hardware didn't try to
TX it (or it was outside the TX burst opportunity.) So, take it as a hint
that some (but not all, see below) frames to the destination may be
filtered.
* If the CLRDMASK bit is set in a TX descriptor, the "filter to this
destination" bit in the keycache entry is cleared and TX to that host
will be unconditionally retried.
* Right now everything has the CLRDMASK bit set, so filtered frames
tend to be aggregates and frames that fall outside of the WME burst
window. It was a bit worse in the past as I had messed up the TX
flags and CLRDMASK wasn't being set on aggregate frames.
The annoying bits:
* It's easy (ish) to do for aggregate session frames - firstly, they
can be retried in any order as long as they're within the BAW, and
there's already a bunch of infrastructure tracking how many frames
the TID has queued to the hardware (tid->hwq_depth.) However, for
frames that bypassed the software queue, hwq_depth doesn't get
incremented. I'll fix that in a subsequent commit.
* For non-aggregate session frames, the only retries that can occur
are ones for sequence numbers that hvaen't successfully been TXed yet.
Since there's no re-ordering going on in non-aggregate sessions, if any
subsequent seqno frames make it out, any filtered frames before that
seqno need to be dropped.
Hence why this initially is just for aggregate session frames.
* Since there may be intermediary frames to the destination that
have CLRDMASK set - for example, any directly dispatched management
frames to that destination - it's possible that there will be some
filtered frames followed up by some non filtered frames. Thus,
it can't be assumed that once you see a filtered frame for the given
destination node, all subsequent frames for all TIDs will be filtered.
Ok, with that in mind:
* Create a per-TID filtered frame queue for frames that the hardware
returns as filtered.
* Track filtered frames per-tid, rather than per-node. It just makes
the locking much easier.
* When a filtered frame appears in the completion function, the node
transitions to "filtered", and all subsequent completed error frames
(filtered or otherwise) are put on the filtered frame queue. The TID
is paused once (during the transition from non-filtered to filtered).
* If a filtered frame retry count exceeds SWMAX_RETRIES, a BAR should be
sent.
* Once all the frames queued to the hardware for the given filtered frame
TID, transition back from filtered frame to non-filtered frame, which
means pre-pending all the filtered frames onto the head of the software
queue, clearing the filtered frame state and unpausing the TID.
Things get quite hairy around handling completion (aggr, non-aggr, norm,
direct-dispatched frames to a hardware queue); whether it's an "error",
"cleanup" or "BAR" state as well as filtered, which order to do things
in (eg do filtered BEFORE checking for BAR, as the filter completion
may be needed to actually transmit a BAR frame.)
This work has definitely reminded me that I have to tidy up all the locking
and remove some of the ridiculous lock/unlock/lock/unlock going on in the
completion functions.
It's also reminded me that I should really split out TID versus hardware TXQ
locking, even if the underlying locking is still the destination hardware TXQ.
Finally, this is all pre-requisite for working on AP mode power save support
(PS-POLL, uAPSD) as well as improving performance to misbehaving nodes (as
they can transition into filter mode, stopping any TX until everything has
caught up.)
Finally (ish) - this should also be done for non-aggregate sessions as
there are still plenty of laptops and mobile devices that don't speak
802.11n but do wish for stable, useful power save AP support where packets
aren't simply dropped. This requires software retransmission for
non-aggregate sessions to be implemented, which includes the caveats I've
mentioned above.
Finally finally - this doesn't yet do anything about the CLRDMASK bit in the
TX descriptor. That's still unconditionally set to 1. I'll debug the
current work (mostly ensuring I haven't busted up the hairy transitions
between BAR, filtered, error (all frames in an aggregate failing) and
cleanup (when transitioning from aggregation -> non-aggregation.))
Finally finally finally - this is all original work by yours truely, rather
than ported from the Atheros internal driver codebase or Linux ath9k.
Tested:
* AR9280, AR5416 in STA mode
* AR9280, AR9130 in hostap mode
* Lots and lots of iperf testing in very marginal and non-marginal conditions,
complete with inducing filtered frames + BAR TX conditions.
Use of __builtin_constant_p in a function that is only called via
a pointer is a good example of how out-of-date it was.
