71f9dd120b Migrate the 802.11s locks out into ieee80211_freebsd.h, so they can be
defined as platform specific bits.

This is to help make OS portability easier.

4c4f4aa0f3 HWMP: ic->raw_xmit didn't always point to correct ni.
This is a code re-write. ic->raw_xmit need a pointer to ieee80211_node
for the destination node (da). I have reorganized the code so that
a pointer to the da node is searched for in the end & in one place.

* Make mesh_find_txnode public to be used by HWMP, renamed to
  ieee80211_mesh_finx_txnode;
* changed the argument from ieee80211_node to ieee80211vap for all
  hwmp_send_* functions;
* removed the 'sa' argument from hwmp_send_* functions as all HWMP frames
  have the source address equal to vap->iv_myaddr;
* Modified hwmp_send_action so that if da is MULTCAST ni=vap->iv_bss
  otherwise we called ieee80211_mesh_find_txnode. Also no need to hold
  a reference in this functions if da is not MULTICAST as by finding the
  node it became referenced in ieee80211_find_txnode;

b79858dac6 Send frames to mesh gate if 11s discovery fails.
* Send frames that have no path to a known valid Mesh Gate;
* Added the function ieee80211_mesh_forward_to_gates that sends the frame
  to the first found Mesh Gate in the forwarding information;
* If we try to discover again while we are discovering queue frame,
  the discovery callout will send the frames either to mesh gates
  or discards them silently;
* Queue frame also if we try to discover to frequently;

4cc361aa03 Propagate GANN frames, and store know gate info.
* Modified mesh_recv_action_meshgate to do following:
    + if mesh STA already knows the mesh gate of the recevied GANN frame
    + if mesh gate is know, check seq number according to 802.11 standard
    + if mesh gate is not know, add it to the list of known mesh gates
    + if forwarding is enabled and ttl >= 1 then propagate the GANN frame;
* Declare a new malloc type M_80211_MESH_GT_RT;
* Declare a struct to store GANN information, ieee80211_mesh_gate_route. And
  add it as a TAILQ list to ieee80211_mesh_state;

ed0b544066 Mesh update: add base Mesh Gate functionality.
A Mesh Gate should transmit a Mesh Action frame containing
ieee80211_meshgann_ie as its only information element periodically
every ieee80211_mesh_gateint ms. Unless the mesh gate is also configure
as a ROOT, then these frames should not be send.
This is according to 802.11 2012 standard;

* Introduce new SYSCTL net.wlan.mesh.gateint, with 10s default;
* Add two new functions mesh_gatemode_setup and mesh_gatemode_cb. This
  is similar to how HWMP setups up a callout;
* Add two new action handlers mesh_recv_action_meshgate and
  mesh_send_action_meshgate;
* Added ieee80211_add_meshgate to ieee80211_mesh.h;
* Modified mesh_send_action to look similar to hwmp_send_action. This is
  because we need to send out broadcast management frames.
* Introduced a new flag for mesh state IEEE80211_MESHFLAGS_ROOT. This flag
  is now set by HWMP code when a mesh STA is configured as a ROOT. This
  is then checked by mesh_gatemode_cb before scheduling a new callout;
* Added to new field to ieee80211_mesh_state:
    + struct callout                  ms_gatetimer
    + ieee80211_mesh_seq              ms_gateseq;

* Added a new discovery flag IEEE80211_MESHRT_FLAGS_DISCOVER;
* Modified ieee80211_ioctl.h to include IEEE80211_MESHRT_FLAGS_DISCOVER;
* Added hwmp_rediscover_cb, which will be called by a timeout to do
rediscovery if we have not reach max number of preq discovery;
* Modified hwmp_discover to setup a callout for path rediscovery;
* Added to ieee80211req_mesh_route to have a back pointer to ieee80211vap
for the discovery callout context;
* Modified mesh_rt_add_locked arguemnt from ieee80211_mesh_state to
ieee80211vap, this because we have to initialize the above back pointer;

3c314f6dc3 Mesh forwarding with proxy support.
* Modified HWMP PREP/PREQ to contain a proxy entry and also changed PREP
frame processing according to amendment as following:
        o Fixed PREP to always update/create if acceptance criteria is meet;
        o PREQ processing to reply if request is for a proxy entry that is
          proxied by us;
        o Removed hwmp_discover call from PREQ, because sending a PREP will
          build the forward path, and by receving and accepting a PREQ we
          have already built the reverse path (non-proactive code);
* Disabled code for pro-active in PREP for now (will make a separate patch for
pro-active HWMP routing later)
* Added proxy information for a Mesh route, mesh gate to use and proxy seqno;
* Modified ieee80211_encap according to amendment;
* Introduced Mesh control address extension enum and removed unused struct,
also rename some structure element names.
* Modified mesh_input and added mesh_recv_* that should verify and process mesh
data frames according to 9.32 Mesh forwarding framework in amendment;
* Modified mesh_decap accordingly to changes done in mesh control AE struct;

b5df85a6fd Implemented so that Mesh forwarding information lifetime is dynamic.

 maximum(lifetime left, new lifetime);
 * Modified ieee80211_mesh_route struct by adding a lock that will be used
 by both ieee80211_mesh_rt_update and precursor code (added in future commit);

 * mesh_rt_flush also checks that lifetime == 0, this gives route discovery
 a change to complete;

81b95c2cc7 Correct the 802.11s mesh configuration structure and related tidbits.
* Change the mesh IE size to be IEEE80211_MESH_CONF_SZ rather than the
  size of the structure;
* conf_cap is now a uint8_t rather than a uint16_t (uint16_t in D3.0,
  uint8_t in the amendment spec);
* Update mesh config capability bits - earlier bits were from draft X,
  current is amendment spec;
* Update the following to be an enum rather than #define and added
  a VENDOR entry too from the amendment spec;
  IEEE80211_MESHCONF_PATH_*
  IEEE80211_MESHCONF_METRIC_*
  IEEE80211_MESHCONF_CC_*
  IEEE80211_MESHCONF_SYNC_*
  IEEE80211_MESHCONF_AUTH_*
* Kept IEEE80211_MESHCONF_FORM_* and IEEE80211_MESHCONF_CAP_* as
  defines because they are defined in a way that we need to mask in/out
  information;
* In IEEE80211_MESHCONF_CAP_* IEEE80211_MESHCONF_CAP_TBTTA is removed
  and 0x80 is made reserved as defined in the amendment spec.

59aa14a91d 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.
