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

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

TX for the given TID needs to be paused during ADDBA requests (and unpaused
once the session is established.) Since net80211 currently doesn't implement
software aggregation, if this pause/unpause is done in the driver (as it
is in my development branch) then it will need to be unpaused both on
ADDBA response and on ADDBA timeout.
This callback allows the driver to unpause TX for the relevant TID.

handling.
The current sequence number code does a few things incorrectly:
* It didn't try eliminating duplications from HT nodes. I guess it's assumed
that out of order / retransmission handling would be handled by the AMPDU RX
routines. If a HT node isn't doing AMPDU RX, then retransmissions need to
be eliminated. Since most of my debugging is based on this (as AMPDU TX
software packet aggregation isn't yet handled), handle this corner case.
* When a sequence number of 4095 was received, any subsequent sequence number
is going to be (by definition) less than 4095. So if the following sequence
number (0) doesn't initially occur and the retransmit is received, it's
incorrectly eliminated by the IEEE80211_FC1_RETRY && SEQ_LEQ() check.
Try to handle this better.
This almost completely eliminates out of order TCP statistics showing up during
iperf testing for the 11a, 11g and non-aggregate 11n AMPDU RX case. The only
other packet loss conditions leading to this are due to baseband resets or
heavy interference.

This is destined to be a lightweight and optional set of ALQ
probes for debugging events which are just impossible to debug
with printf/log (eg packet TX/RX handling; AMPDU handling.)
The probes and operations themselves will appear in subsequent
commits.
This introduces struct ieee80211_rx_stats - which stores the various kinds
of RX statistics which a MIMO and non-MIMO 802.11 device can export.
It also fleshes out the mimo export to userland (node_getmimoinfo()).
It assumes that MIMO radios (for now) export both ctl and ext channels.
Non-11n MIMO radios are possible (and I believe Atheros made at least
one), so if that chipset support is added, extra flags to the
struct ieee80211_rx_stats can be added to extend this support.
Two new input functions have been added - ieee80211_input_mimo() and
ieee80211_input_mimo_all() - which MIMO-aware devices can call with
MIMO specific statistics.
802.11 devices calling the non-MIMO input functions will still function.
The symptom: sometimes 11n (and non-11n) throughput is great.
Sometimes it isn't. Much teeth gnashing occured, and much kernel
bisecting happened, until someone figured out it was the order
of which things were rebooted, not the kernel versions.
(Which was great news to me, it meant that I hadn't broken if_ath.)
What we found was that sometimes the WME parameters for the best-effort
queue had a burst window ("txop") in which the station would be allowed
to TX as many packets as it could fit inside that particular burst
window. This improved throughput.
After initially thinking it was a bug - the WME parameters for the
best-effort queue -should- have a txop of 0, Bernard and I discovered
"aggressive mode" in net80211 - where the WME BE queue parameters
are changed if there's not a lot of high priority traffic going on.
The WME parameters announced in the association response and beacon
frames just "change" based on what the current traffic levels are.
So in fact yes, the STA was acutally supposed to be doing this higher
throughput stuff as it's just meant to be configuring things based on
the WME parameters - but it wasn't.
What was eventually happening was this:
* at startup, the wme qosinfo count field would be 0;
* it'd be parsed in ieee80211_parse_wmeparams();
* and it would be bumped (to say 10);
* .. and the WME queue parameters would be correctly parsed and set.
But then, when you restarted the assocation (eg hostap goes away and
comes back with the same qosinfo count field of 10, or if you
destroy the sta VIF and re-create it), the WME qosinfo count field -
which is associated not to the VIF, but to the main interface -
wouldn't be cleared, so the queue default parameters would be used
(which include no burst setting for the BE queue) and would remain
that way until the hostap qosinfo count field changed, or the STA
was actually rebooted.
This fix simply cleares the wme capability field (which has the count
field) to 0, forcing it to be reset by the next received beacon.
Thanks go to Milu for finding it and helping me track down what was
going on, and Bernard Schmidt for working through the net80211 and
WME specific magic.

If multiple networks are available the max bandwidth is one
condition used for selecting the "best" BSS. To achieve that
we should consider all parameters which affect the max RX rate.
This includes 20/40MHz, SGI and the of course the MCS set.
If the TX MCS parameters are available we should use those,
because an AP announcing support for receiving frames at 450Mbps
might only be able to transmit at 150Mbps (1T3R). I haven't seen
devices with support for transmitting at higher rates then
receiving, so prefering TX over RX information should be safe.
While here, remove the hardcoded assumption that MCS15 is the max
possible MCS rate, use MCS31 instead which really is the highest
rate (according to the 802.11n std). Also, fix a mismatch of an
40MHz/SGI check.
Contrary to the rateset information in legacy frames the MCS Set
field also contains TX capability information in cases where the
number of available TX and RX spartial streams differ. Because a
rateset doesn't contain that information we have to pull the
those directly from the hardware capabilities.
Get rid of the assumption that every device is capable of 40MHz,
SGI and 2 spartial streams. Instead of printing, in the worst case,
8 times 76 MCS rates, print logically connect ranges and the
support RX/TX streams.
A device without 40MHz and SGI support looks like:
ath0: 2T2R
ath0: 11na MCS 20Mhz
ath0: MCS 0-7: 6.5Mbps - 65Mbps
ath0: MCS 8-15: 13Mbps - 130Mbps
ath0: 11ng MCS 20Mhz
ath0: MCS 0-7: 6.5Mbps - 65Mbps
ath0: MCS 8-15: 13Mbps - 130Mbps

variables in the base kernel are linked as normal, but those in modules
are copied and relocated to a reserved portion of the kernel's vnet
region with the help of a the kernel linker.
Virtualized global variables exist in per-vnet memory set up when the
network stack instance is created, and are initialized statically from
the reference copy. Run-time access occurs via an accessor macro, which
converts from the current vnet and requested symbol to a per-vnet
address. When "options VIMAGE" is not compiled into the kernel, normal
global ELF symbols will be used instead and indirection is avoided.
This change restores static initialization for network stack global
variables, restores support for non-global symbols and types, eliminates
the need for many subsystem constructors, eliminates large per-subsystem
structures that caused many binary compatibility issues both for
monitoring applications (netstat) and kernel modules, removes the
per-function INIT_VNET_*() macros throughout the stack, eliminates the
need for vnet_symmap ksym(2) munging, and eliminates duplicate
definitions of virtualized globals under VIMAGE_GLOBALS.

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.

long-term work before they can be serviced. Packets are tagged and
assigned an age (in seconds) at the point they are added to the
queue. If a packet is not retrieved before it's age expires it is
reclaimed. Tagging can take two forms: a reference to an ieee80211_node
(as happens in the tx path) or an opaque token in cases where there
is no reference or the node structure is not stable (i.e. it's going
to be destroyed).
o add ic_stageq to replace the per-node wds staging queue used for
dynamic wds
o add ieee80211_mac_hash for building ageq tokens; this computes a
32-bit hash from an 802.11 mac address (copied from the bridge)

Remove unused macro which didn't have required referencing:
IFP_TO_IA6
This closes many small races in which changes to interface
or address lists while an ifaddr was in use could lead to use of freed
memory (etc). In a few cases, add missing if_addr_list locking
required to safely acquire references.
Because of a lack of deep copying support, we accept a race in which
an in6_ifaddr pointed to by mbuf tags and extracted with
ip6_getdstifaddr() doesn't hold a reference while in transmit. Once
we have mbuf tag deep copy support, this can be fixed.

we receive the AssocResp, so we can only set ni_txparms properly
at that point. To make this possible make node_setuptxparms public
as ieee80211_node_setuptxparms.
o don't increment extracted tid, this was a vestige of IEEE80211_NONQOS_TID
