The Adhoc support wasn't parsing and handling the ath specific and WME
IEs, thus the atheros vendor support and WME TXOP parameters aren't being
copied from the peer.
It copies the WME parameters from whichever adhoc node it decides to
associate to, rather than just having them be statically configured
per adhoc node. This may or may not be exactly "right", but it's certainly
going to be more convienent for people - they just have to ensure their
adhoc nodes are setup with correct WME parameters.
Since WME parameters aren't per-node but are configured on hardware TX
queues, if some nodes support WME and some don't - or perhaps, have
different WME parameters - things will get quite quirky.
So ensure that you configure your adhoc nodes with the same WME
parameters.
Secondly - the Atheros Vendor IE is parsed and operated on per-node, so
this should work out ok between nodes that do and don't do Atheros
extensions. Once you see a becaon from that node and you setup the
association state, it _should_ parse things correctly.
TODO:
* I do need to ensure that both adhoc setup paths are correctly updating
the IE stuff. Ie, if the adhoc node is created by a data frame instead
of a beacon frame, it'll come up with no WME/ath IE config. The next
beacon frame that it receives from that node will update the state.
I just need to sit down and better understand how that's suppose to
work in IBSS mode.
Tested:
* AR5416 <-> AR9280 - fast frames and the WME configuration both popped
up. (This is with a local HAL patch that enables the fast frames
capability on the AR5416 chipsets.)
PR: kern/165969
The stageqdepth (global, over all staging queues) was being kept
incorrectly. It was being incremented whenever things were added,
but only decremented during a flush. During active fast frames activity
it wasn't being decremented, resulting in it always having a non-zero
value during normal fast-frames operation.
It was only used when checking if the aging queue should be checked;
we may as well just defer to each of those staging queue counters (which
look correct, thankfully.)
Whilst I'm here, add locking assertions in the staging queue add/remove
functions. The current crash shows that the staging queue has one frame,
but only has a tail pointer set (the head pointer being set to NULL.)
I'd like to grab a few more crashes where these locking assertions are
in place so I can narrow down the issue between "somehow locking is
messed up and things are racy" and "the stage queue head/tail pointer
manipulation logic is subtly wrong."
Tested:
* AR5416 STA, AR5413 AP; with FastFrames enabled in the AR5416 HAL.

pointers and leave the stage queue flush routine to just do nothing
(since both head and tail here will be NULL.)
This should quieten the "stageq empty" panic where the stageq itself
is empty, but it won't fix the second KASSERT() here "staging queue empty"
as that's likely a different underlying problem.

The XC900M acts as a Ubiquiti XR9 (and I _think_ SR9) by default;
it uses the same 900MHz<->2.4GHz downconverter mapping.
However it has an alternative frequency mapping which squeezes in a couple
more half/quarter rate channels. Since the default HAL doesn't support
fractional tuning (sub-1MHz) in 2.4GHz mode on the AR5413/AR5414, they
implement it using a jumper.

* When the device hotplug code gets taught about CURVNET_SET(vnet0), the

* .. and there still is the question about potentially adding an implied

being detached by a hotplug event in today's world. That's going to be

This turns ieee80211_node_pwrsave(), ieee80211_sta_pwrsave() and
ieee80211_recv_pspoll() into methods.
The intent is to let drivers override these and tie into the power save
management pathway.
For ath(4), this is the beginning of forcing a node software queue to
stop and start as needed, as well as supporting "leaking" single frames
from the software queue to the hardware.
Right now, ieee80211_recv_pspoll() will attempt to transmit a single frame
to the hardware (whether it be a data frame on the power-save queue or
a NULL data frame) but the driver may have hardware/software queued frames
queued up. This initial work is an attempt at providing the hooks required
to implement correct behaviour.
Allowing ieee80211_node_pwrsave() to be overridden allows the ath(4)
driver to pause and unpause the entire software queue for a given node.
It doesn't make sense to transmit anything whilst the node is asleep.
Please note that there are other corner cases to correctly handle -
specifically, setting the MORE data bit correctly on frames to a station,
as well as keeping the TIM updated. Those particular issues can be
addressed later.
iterate lock.
This causes LORs and deadlocks as some code paths will have the com lock
held when calling ieee80211_iterate_nodes().
Here, the comlock isn't held during the node table and node iteration
locks; and the callback isn't called with any (extra) lock held.

bitmaps that may occur.
The way this works is:
* the beginning of the radiotap frame has a 32 bit "radiotap" namespace
bitmap;
* if the vendor bitmap bit is set, then the next bitmap will be interpreted
as a vendor bitmap;
* this can keep going on and on (ie, more vendor and radiotap namespace
bitmaps can be added) until the last bitmap with no "more bitmaps" set.
Now, the radiotap code gets its grubby fingers into the supplied
radiotap rx/tx buffer and replaces the channel configuration
for each frame. I don't know why it's not up to the drivers themselves
to do this, but I digress. So, if a vendor bitmap (or two, etc) exists,
the offset calculations will be all completely wrong.
This particular patch introduces ieee80211_radiotap_attachv(), which
includes the number of vendor bitmaps (well, any other bitmaps, vendor
or otherwise) between the end of the bitmap/header and the start of the
actual radiotap field entries. This makes the radiotap calculations
"right", so it correctly calculates where to overwrite the channel
configuration.
The long term fix is to go through and make each driver update the channel
configuration, as some of the fields are already being updated.
That, however, is a longer term fix that will need each driver fixed.
I leave that as an exercise to someone in the future.
* If the first call succeeded but failed to transmit, a timer would
reschedule it via bar_timeout(). Unfortunately bar_timeout() didn't
check the return value from the ieee80211_send_bar() reattempt and
if that failed (eg the driver ic_raw_xmit() failed), it would never
re-arm the timer.
* If BARPEND is cleared (which ieee80211_send_bar() will do if it can't
TX), then re-arming the timer isn't enough - once bar_timeout() occurs,
it'll see BARPEND is 0 and not run through the rest of the routine.
So when rearming the timer, also set that flag.
* If the TX wasn't occuring, bar_tx_complete() wouldn't be called and the
driver callback wouldn't be called either. So the driver had no idea
that the BAR TX attempt had failed. In the ath(4) case, TX would stay
paused.
(There's no callback to indicate that BAR TX had failed or not;
only a "BAR TX was attempted". That's a separate, later problem.)
So call the driver callback (ic_bar_response()) before the ADDBA session
is torn down, so it has a chance of being notified that things didn't
quite go to plan.
I've verified that yes, this does suspend traffic for ath(4), retry BAR
TX even if the driver is failing ic_raw_xmit(), and then eventually giving
up and sending a DELBA. I'll address the "out of ath_buf" issue in ath(4)
in a subsequent commit - this commit just fixes the edge case where any
driver is (way) out of internal buffers/descriptors and fails frame TX.

Because the code lacks all the GNU extensions to printf() format stuff,
the compiler doesn't helpfully tell us that I messed up in a previous
commit.
Pointy hat to: adrian, who likely only cares about this because he's the
only one who bothers flipping on net80211 debugging.
Currently, a channel width change updates the 802.11n HT info data in
net80211 but it doesn't trigger any device changes. So the device
driver may decide that HT40 frames can be transmitted but the last
device channel set only had HT20 set.
Now, a task is scheduled so a hardware reset or change isn't done
during any active ongoing RX. It also means that it's serialised
with the other task operations (eg channel change.)
This isn't the final incantation of this work, see below.
For now, any unmodified drivers will simply receive a channel
change log entry. A subsequent patch to ath(4) will introduce
some basic channel change handling (by resetting the NIC.)
Other NICs may need to update their rate control information.
TODO:
* There's still a small window at the present moment where the
channel width has been updated but the task hasn't been fired.
The final version of this should likely pass in a channel width
field to the driver and let the driver atomically do whatever
it needs to before changing the channel.

Some hardware (eg the AR9160 in STA mode) seems to "leak" unicast FROMDS
frames which aren't destined to itself. This angers the net80211 stack -
the existing code would fail to find an address in the node table and try
passing the frame up to each vap BSS. It would then be accepted in the
input routine and its contents would update the local crypto and sequence
number state.
If the sequence number / crypto IV replay counters from the leaked frame
were greater than the "real" state, subsequent "real" frames would be
rejected due to out of sequence / IV replay conditions.
This is also likely helpful if/when multi-STA modes are added to net80211.

The ieee80211_swbmiss() callout is not called with the ic lock held, so it's
quite possible the scheduler will run the callout during a state change.
This patch:
* changes the swbmiss callout to be locked by the ic lock
* enforces the ic lock being held across the beacon vap functions
by grabbing it inside beacon_miss() and beacon_swmiss().
This ensures that the ic lock is held (and thus the VAP state
stays constant) during beacon miss and software miss processing.
Since the callout is removed whilst the ic lock is held, it also
ensures that the ic lock can't be called during a state change
or exhibit any race conditions seen above.

doesn't introduce new issues.
