things like EAPOL frames make it out.
After a whole bunch of hacking/testing, I discovered that they weren't
being early-dropped by the stack (but I should look at ensuring that
later..) but were even making to the hardware transmit queue.
They were mostly even being received by the remote end. However, the
remote end was completely ignoring them.
This didn't happen under 150-170MBit TCP tests as I'm guessing the TX
queue stayed very busy and the STA didn't do any scanning. However, when
doing 100Mbit/s of TCP traffic, the STA would do background scanning -
which involves it coming in and out of powersave mode with the AP.
Now, this is a total and utter hack around the real problems, which are:
* I need to implement proper power save handling and integrate it into
the filtered frames support, so the driver/stack doesn't send frames
whilst the station is actually in sleep;
* .. but frames were actually making it to the STA (macbook pro) and
the AP did receive an ACK; but a tcpdump on the receiving side showed
the EAPOL frame never made it. So the stack was dropping it for
some reason;
* Importantly - the EAPOL frames are currently going into the non-QoS
TID, which maps to the BE queue and is susceptible to that queue being
busy doing other things, but;
* There's other traffic going on in the non-QoS TID from other contexts
when scanning is going on and it's possible there's some races causing
sequence number/IV issues, but;
* Importantly importantlly, I think the interaction with TID 16 multicast
traffic in power save mode is causing issues - since I -believe- the
sequence number space being used by the EAPOL frames on TID 16 overlaps
with the multicast frames that have sequence numbers allocated and
are then stuffed on the cabq. Since with EAPOL frames being in TID 16
and queued to the BE queue, it's going to be waiting to be serviced
with all of the aggregate traffic going on - and if the CABQ gets
emptied beforehand, those TID 16 multicast frames with sequence numbers
will go out beforehand.
Now, there's quite likely a bunch of "stuff happening slightly out of
sequence" going on due to the nature of the TX path (read: lots of
overlapping and concurrent ath_start() and ath_raw_xmit() calls going
on, sigh) but I thought I had caught them all and stuffed each TID TX
behind a lock (that lasted as long as it needed to in order to get
the frame onto the relevant destination queue - thus keeping things
in order.)
Unfortunately the last problem is the big one and I'm going to stare at
it some more. If it _is_
So this is a work around for now to ensure that EAPOL frames actually
make it out before any other stuff in the non-QoS TID and HOPEFULLY
before the CABQ gets active.
I'm now going to spend a little time in the TX path figuring out exactly
why the sender is rejecting things. There's two (well, three if you count
EAPOL contents invalid) possibilities:
* The sequence number is out of order (ie, something else like the multicast
traffic on CABQ) is going out first on TID 16;
* The CCMP IV is out of order (similar to above - but less likely, as the
TX key for multicast traffic is different to unicast traffic);
* EAPOL contents strangely invalid.

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,

support to FreeBSD. A full description of the overall functionality
being added is below. nvmexpress.org defines NVM Express as "an optimized

Solid-State Drives (SSDs)."
This commit adds nvme(4) and nvd(4) driver source code and Makefiles
to the tree.
Full NVMe functionality description:
Add nvme(4) and nvd(4) drivers and nvmecontrol(8) for NVM Express (NVMe)
device support.
There will continue to be ongoing work on NVM Express support, but there
is more than enough to allow for evaluation of pre-production NVM Express
devices as well as soliciting feedback. Questions and feedback are welcome.
nvme(4) implements NVMe hardware abstraction and is a provider of NVMe
namespaces. The closest equivalent of an NVMe namespace is a SCSI LUN.
nvd(4) is an NVMe consumer, surfacing NVMe namespaces as GEOM disks.
nvmecontrol(8) is used for NVMe configuration and management.
The following are currently supported:
nvme(4)
- full mandatory NVM command set support
- per-CPU IO queues (enabled by default but configurable)
- per-queue sysctls for statistics and full command/completion queue
dumps for debugging
- registration API for NVMe namespace consumers
- I/O error handling (except for timeoutsee below)
- compilation switches for support back to stable-7
nvd(4)
- BIO_DELETE and BIO_FLUSH (if supported by controller)
- proper BIO_ORDERED handling
nvmecontrol(8)
- devlist: list NVMe controllers and their namespaces
- identify: display controller or namespace identify data in
human-readable or hex format
- perftest: quick and dirty performance test to measure raw
performance of NVMe device without userspace/physio/GEOM
overhead
The following are still work in progress and will be completed over the
next 3-6 months in rough priority order:
- complete man pages
- firmware download and activation
- asynchronous error requests
- command timeout error handling
- controller resets
- nvmecontrol(8) log page retrieval
This has been primarily tested on amd64, with light testing on i386. I
would be happy to provide assistance to anyone interested in porting
this to other architectures, but am not currently planning to do this
work myself. Big-endian and dmamap sync for command/completion queues
are the main areas that would need to be addressed.
The nvme(4) driver currently has references to Chatham, which is an
Intel-developed prototype board which is not fully spec compliant.
These references will all be removed over time.

quite quickly, so there's no need to sample _all_ MCS rates between
a high MCS rate and MCS0; there may be a lot of them.
* Modify the smoothing rate to be 75% rather than 95% - it's more adaptive
but it comes with a cost of being slightly less stable at times.
A per-node, hysterisis behaviour would be nicer.

maintained...
Also fix some minor comment formatting to line things up, etc...

SATI translation layer was incorrectly using allocation length instead
of blocks, and was constructing the ATA command incorrectly.
Also change #define to specify that the 512 block size here is
specific for DOWNLOAD_MICROCODE, and does not relate to the device's
logical block size.
