* Add link-state change notifications by subscribing to ifnet_link_event.
In the Linux netlink model, link state is reported in 2 places: first is
the IFLA_OPERSTATE, which stores state per RFC2863.
The second is an IFF_LOWER_UP interface flag. As many applications rely
on the latter, reserve 1 bit from if_flags, named as IFF_NETLINK_1.
This flag is mapped to IFF_LOWER_UP in the netlink headers. This is done
to avoid making applications think this flag is actually
supported / presented in non-netlink outputs.
* Add flag change notifications, by hooking into rt_ifmsg().
In the netlink model, notification should include the bitmask for the
change flags. Update rt_ifmsg() to include such bitmask.

as identifier and methods that pass pointer to struct ieee80211com. From
user point of view, the parent interface just hangs on in the ifconfig
list, and user can't do anything useful with it.
Now, the struct ifnet goes away. The struct ieee80211com is the only

- The struct ieee80211com is embedded into drivers softc.
- Packets are sent via new ic_transmit method, which is very much like

- Bringing parent up/down is done via new ic_parent method, which notifies
driver about any changes: number of wlan(4) interfaces, number of them
in promisc or allmulti state.
- Device specific ioctls (if any) are received on new ic_ioctl method.
- Packets/errors accounting are done by the stack. In certain cases, when
driver experiences errors and can not attribute them to any specific
interface, driver updates ic_oerrors or ic_ierrors counters.

- A sequence of commands needed to bring up wireless DOESN"T change.

802.11 mbufs.
The raw transmit path currently doesn't make it easy to queue
these frames:
* there's no node reference stored in the mbuf, like for the normal
path, and
* the bpf supplied raw transmit parameters (rate, rts/cts, etc)
are passed in as an argument, not as an mbuf tag.
In order to support driver queuing of these frames, we need to
be able to put the above into the mbuf before the driver gets it,
so the driver /can/ put it into a queue if needed.
Use an mbuf tag and for now just verbatim copy the bpf parameters
into it. Later on it may grow to include more options but this
will do for now.
Why would you want to queue raw frames? Well, in the case of
iwn(4), we can't send the firmware frames to transmit before
we hear a beacon - the firmware will consider passive channels
as unavailable until it hears a beacon. The firmware "passive"
channel state is cleared upon each RXON command, which is sent to
update association status. So, when we attempt association and
authorisation, the RXON command causes the firmware to clear out
what it's already seen, and so we have to wait for a beacon before
we can transmit.
Before people get overly excited - this alone doesn't "fix" 5GHz
operation - it just makes it (more) possible.
The aim here is to convert all the drivers over to use a raw_xmit()
API that doesn't include the node and params - instead they'd get
those from the mbuf. Then raw_xmit() becomes just a side-channel
version of the normal transmit path for management traffic.

- Update consumers around the tree to simply use M_ALIGN().
This change eliminates a number of cases where mbuf consumers must be aware

also assumptions about the size of the returned mbuf. This will make it
easier to introduce changes in how we use external storage, as well as

upper layer(s).
This eliminates the if_snd queue from net80211. Yay!
This unfortunately has a few side effects:
* It breaks ALTQ to net80211 for now - sorry everyone, but fixing
parallelism and eliminating the if_snd queue is more important
than supporting this broken traffic scheduling model. :-)
* There's no VAP and IC flush methods just yet - I think I'll add
some NULL methods for now just as placeholders.
* It reduces throughput a little because now net80211 will drop packets
rather than buffer them if the driver doesn't do its own buffering.
This will be addressed in the future as I implement per-node software
queues.
Tested:
* ath(4) and iwn(4) in STA operation
This patchset implements a new TX lock, covering both the per-VAP (and
thus per-node) TX locking and the serialisation through to the underlying
physical device.
This implements the hard requirement that frames to the underlying physical
device are scheduled to the underlying device in the same order that they
are processed at the VAP layer. This includes adding extra encapsulation
state (such as sequence numbers and CCMP IV numbers.) Any order mismatch
here will result in dropped packets at the receiver.
There are multiple transmit contexts from the upper protocol layers as well
as the "raw" interface via the management and BPF transmit paths.
All of these need to be correctly serialised or bad behaviour will result
under load.
The specifics:
* add a new TX IC lock - it will eventually just be used for serialisation
to the underlying physical device but for now it's used for both the
VAP encapsulation/serialisation and the physical device dispatch.
This lock is specifically non-recursive.
* Methodize the parent transmit, vap transmit and ic_raw_xmit function
pointers; use lock assertions in the parent/vap transmit routines.
* Add a lock assertion in ieee80211_encap() - the TX lock must be held
here to guarantee sensible behaviour.
* Refactor out the packet sending code from ieee80211_start() - now
ieee80211_start() is just a loop over the ifnet queue and it dispatches
each VAP packet send through ieee80211_start_pkt().
Yes, I will likely rename ieee80211_start_pkt() to something that
better reflects its status as a VAP packet transmit path. More on
that later.
* Add locking around the management and BAR TX sending - to ensure that
encapsulation and TX are done hand-in-hand.
* Add locking in the mesh code - again, to ensure that encapsulation
and mesh transmit are done hand-in-hand.
* Add locking around the power save queue and ageq handling, when
dispatching to the parent interface.
* Add locking around the WDS handoff.
* Add a note in the mesh dispatch code that the TX path needs to be
re-thought-out - right now it's doing a direct parent device transmit
rather than going via the vap layer. It may "work", but it's likely
incorrect (as it bypasses any possible per-node power save and
aggregation handling.)
Why not a per-VAP or per-node lock?
Because in order to ensure per-VAP ordering, we'd have to hold the
VAP lock across parent->if_transmit(). There are a few problems
with this:
* There's some state being setup during each driver transmit - specifically,
the encryption encap / CCMP IV setup. That should eventually be dragged
back into the encapsulation phase but for now it lives in the driver TX path.
This should be locked.
* Two drivers (ath, iwn) re-use the node->ni_txseqs array in order to
allocate sequence numbers when doing transmit aggregation. This should
also be locked.
* Drivers may have multiple frames queued already - so when one calls
if_transmit(), it may end up dispatching multiple frames for different
VAPs/nodes, each needing a different lock when handling that particular
end destination.
So to be "correct" locking-wise, we'd end up needing to grab a VAP or
node lock inside the driver TX path when setting up crypto / AMPDU sequence
numbers, and we may already _have_ a TX lock held - mostly for the same
destination vap/node, but sometimes it'll be for others. That could lead
to LORs and thus deadlocks.
So for now, I'm sticking with an IC TX lock. It has the advantage of
papering over the above and it also has the added advantage that I can
assert that it's being held when doing a parent device transmit.
I'll look at splitting the locks out a bit more later on.
General outstanding net80211 TX path issues / TODO:
* Look into separating out the VAP serialisation and the IC handoff.
It's going to be tricky as parent->if_transmit() doesn't give me the
opportunity to split queuing from driver dispatch. See above.
* Work with monthadar to fix up the mesh transmit path so it doesn't go via
the parent interface when retransmitting frames.
* Push the encryption handling back into the driver, if it's at all
architectually sane to do so. I know it's possible - it's what mac80211
in Linux does.
* Make ieee80211_raw_xmit() queue a frame into VAP or parent queue rather
than doing a short-cut direct into the driver. There are QoS issues
here - you do want your management frames to be encapsulated and pushed
onto the stack sooner than the (large, bursty) amount of data frames
that are queued. But there has to be a saner way to do this.
* Fragments are still broken - drivers need to be upgraded to an if_transmit()
implementation and then fragmentation handling needs to be properly fixed.
Tested:
* STA - AR5416, AR9280, Intel 5300 abgn wifi
* Hostap - AR5416, AR9160, AR9280
* Mesh - some testing by monthadar@, more to come.
