related issues.
Moving the TX locking under one lock made things easier to progress on
but it had one important side-effect - it increased the latency when
handling CABQ setup when sending beacons.
This commit introduces a bunch of new changes and a few unrelated changs
that are just easier to lump in here.
The aim is to have the CABQ locking separate from other locking.
The CABQ transmit path in the beacon process thus doesn't have to grab
the general TX lock, reducing lock contention/latency and making it
more likely that we'll make the beacon TX timing.
The second half of this commit is the CABQ related setup changes needed
for sane looking EDMA CABQ support. Right now the EDMA TX code naively
assumes that only one frame (MPDU or A-MPDU) is being pushed into each
FIFO slot. For the CABQ this isn't true - a whole list of frames is
being pushed in - and thus CABQ handling breaks very quickly.
The aim here is to setup the CABQ list and then push _that list_ to
the hardware for transmission. I can then extend the EDMA TX code
to stamp that list as being "one" FIFO entry (likely by tagging the
last buffer in that list as "FIFO END") so the EDMA TX completion code
correctly tracks things.
Major:
* Migrate the per-TXQ add/removal locking back to per-TXQ, rather than
a single lock.
* Leave the software queue side of things under the ATH_TX_LOCK lock,
(continuing) to serialise things as they are.
* Add a new function which is called whenever there's a beacon miss,
to print out some debugging. This is primarily designed to help
me figure out if the beacon miss events are due to a noisy environment,
issues with the PHY/MAC, or other.
* Move the CABQ setup/enable to occur _after_ all the VAPs have been
looked at. This means that for multiple VAPS in bursted mode, the
CABQ gets primed once all VAPs are checked, rather than being primed
on the first VAP and then having frames appended after this.
Minor:
* Add a (disabled) twiddle to let me enable/disable cabq traffic.
It's primarily there to let me easily debug what's going on with beacon
and CABQ setup/traffic; there's some DMA engine hangs which I'm finally
trying to trace down.
* Clear bf_next when flushing frames; it should quieten some warnings
that show up when a node goes away.
Tested:
* AR9280, STA/hostap, up to 4 vaps (staggered)
* AR5416, STA/hostap, up to 4 vaps (staggered)
TODO:
* (Lots) more AR9380 and later testing, as I may have missed something here.
* Leverage this to fix CABQ hanling for AR9380 and later chips.
* Force bursted beaconing on the chips that default to staggered beacons and
ensure the CABQ stuff is all sane (eg, the MORE bits that aren't being
correctly set when chaining descriptors.)
to stuck beacons.
* Set the cabq readytime (ie, how long to burst for) to 50% of the total
beacon interval time
* fix the cabq adjustment calculation based on how the beacon offset is
calculated (the SWBA/DBA time offset.)
This is all still a bit magic voodoo but it does seem to have further
quietened issues with missed/stuck beacons under my local testing.
In any case, it better matches what the reference HAL implements.

With some recent busdma refactoring, sometimes it happens that a sync
op gets called when bus_dmamap_load() never got called, which results
in a spurious warning about a map mismatch when no sync operations will
actually happen anyway. Now the check is done only if a sync operation
is actually performed, and the result of the check is a panic, not just
a printf.

This particular scenario was easily reproduced using a NFS export. When the
first 'zfs unmount' occurred, it returned EBUSY via this path, while
vflush() had flushed references on the filesystem's root vnode, which in
turn caused its v_interlock to be destroyed. The next time 'zfs unmount'
was called, vflush() tried to obtain this lock, which caused this panic.
Since vflush() on FreeBSD is a definitive call, there is no need to check
vfsp->vfs_count after it completes. Simply #ifdef sun this check.

The scope of these callbacks is primarily to support actions that affect the
taskqueue's thread environments. They are entirely optional, and
consequently are introduced as a new API: taskqueue_set_callback().
This interface allows the caller to specify that a taskqueue requires a
callback and optional context pointer for a given callback type.
The callback types included in this commit can be used to register a
constructor and destructor for thread-local storage using osd(9). This
allows a particular taskqueue to define that its threads require a specific
type of TLS, without the need for a specially-orchestrated task-based
mechanism for startup and shutdown in order to accomplish it.
Two callback types are supported at this point:
- TASKQUEUE_CALLBACK_TYPE_INIT, called by every thread when it starts, prior
to processing any tasks.
- TASKQUEUE_CALLBACK_TYPE_SHUTDOWN, called by every thread when it exits,
after it has processed its last task but before the taskqueue is
reclaimed.
While I'm here:
- Add two new macros, TQ_ASSERT_LOCKED and TQ_ASSERT_UNLOCKED, and use them
in appropriate locations.
- Fix taskqueue.9 to mention taskqueue_start_threads(), which is a required
interface for all consumers of taskqueue(9).

memory footprint of fsck remains unchanged in memory constrained

running time for a full fsck. It also reduces the random access time
for large files and speeds the traversal time for directory tree walks.
The key idea is to reserve a small area in each cylinder group
immediately following the inode blocks for the use of metadata,
specifically indirect blocks and directory contents. The new policy
is to preferentially place metadata in the metadata area and
everything else in the blocks that follow the metadata area.
The size of this area can be set when creating a filesystem using
newfs(8) or changed in an existing filesystem using tunefs(8).
Both utilities use the `-k held-for-metadata-blocks' option to
specify the amount of space to be held for metadata blocks in each
cylinder group. By default, newfs(8) sets this area to half of
minfree (typically 4% of the data area).
