field and into a separate fast-frames staging pointer in ieee80211_node.
The A-MPDU TX path allows txa_private to be used by drivers. So it will
clash with any attempt to use fast-frames. Now, fast-frames is not really
anything special - it's just a custom ethernet frame type that contains
two MSDUs into one MPDU. So all the NIC has to support doing is transmitting
up to a 4KiB frame with an arbitrary ethertype and bam! Fast-frames.
However, using txa_private means we can /either/ do fast-frames or A-MPDU TX,
so fast frames has been turned off in the Atheros HAL for 11n chipsets.
This is a bit silly - it actually means that 802.11 performance to/from
11abg Atheros chips is actually better than between an 11abg atheros device
and an 11n Atheros device.
So:
* create a new mbuf staging queue for fast frames. It only queues a single
frame in the staging queue (and there's a top-level ic staging queue
used for expiry/tracking) so it's just an mbuf pointer per TID.
* Still use the ampdu TX packet counter to determine whether to do
aggregation or not. It'll double count if we start doing both A-MPDU TX
and fast frames, but that's not all that important right now.
* Initialise the pps tracker so ticks isn't zero. This ensures that
fast-frames actually gets used - without it, the ticks math overflows
and the pps math always sets txa_pps=0. This is the same bug that
plagued A-MPDU TX starting logic.
This actually allows fast-frames transmit to occur between the AR9331
(in 11n HT/20 mode) and AR9170 (if_otus) in 11bg mode.
Now, this is a great big no-op on atheros 11n hardware, so don't worry.
It may mean you start seeing more reliable fast-frames transmission on
11abg hardware which may expose some more amusing bugs.
TODO:
* further testing and debugging of all of this before flipping on
fast-frames in if_ath (for 11n) and if_otus.
in the superg fast-frames code.
This harks back to an earlier commit (r280349) where I found that
initialising the pps code with ticks=0 would cause hilariously bad
hz ticks wraparound failures, leading to never actually aggregating
traffic. This is still true for the superg path and so I have to
do the same thing there.
This is a big no-op; a subsequent commit will flip this on so it
works with the fast-frames transmit path.
Tested:
* AR9170, otus(4) - STA mode, 11bg operation
* AR9331, AP mode

Initially function was introduced in r53541 (KAME initial commit) to
"provide hints from upper layer protocols that indicate a connection
is making "forward progress"" (quote from RFC 2461 7.3.1 Reachability
Confirmation).
However, it was converted to do nothing (e.g. just return) in r122922
(tcp_hostcache implementation) back in 2003. Some defines were moved
to tcp_var.h in r169541. Then, it was broken (for non-corner cases)
by r186119 (L2<>L3 split) in 2008 (NULL ifp in nd6_lookup). So,
right now this code is broken and has no "real" base users.

Thanks to OpenBSD for providing a driver based on the original

/outside/ of the driver lock(s), rather than doing:

ieee80211_input*()
LOCK(sc);
.. which is really stupid.
The existing API is maintaned - if ieee80211_input() / ieee80211_input_all()
is called then the RSSI/NF values are used. If the MIMO versions are called
with a given rx status pointer then it's used. Else, it'll use whatever
is in the RX mbuf tag.

A change to a property on a dataset must be propagated to its descendants
in case that property is inherited. For datasets whose information is
not currently loaded into memory (e.g. a snapshot that isn't currently
mounted), there is nothing to do; the property change will take effect
the next time that dataset is loaded. To handle updates to datasets that
are in-core, ZFS registers a callback entry for each property of each
loaded dataset with the dsl directory that holds that dataset. There
is a dsl directory associated with each live dataset that references
both the live dataset and any snapshots of the live dataset. A property
change is effected by doing a traversal of the tree of dsl directories
for a pool, starting at the directory sourcing the change, and invoking
these callbacks.
The current implementation both registers and de-registers properties
individually for each loaded dataset. While registration for a property is
O(1) (insert into a list), de-registration is O(n) (search list and then
remove). The 'n' for de-registration, however, is not limited to the size
(number of snapshots + 1) of the dsl directory. The eviction portion
of the life cycle for the in core state of datasets is asynchronous,
which allows multiple copies of the dataset information to be in-core
at once. Only one of these copies is active at any time with the rest
going through tear down processing, but all copies contribute to the
cost of performing a dsl_prop_unregister().
One way to create multiple, in-flight copies of dataset information
is by performing "zfs list" operations from multiple threads
concurrently. In-core dataset information is loaded on demand and then
evicted when reference counts drops to zero. For datasets that are not
mounted, there is no persistent reference count to keep them resident.
So, a list operation will load them, compute the information required to
do the list operation, and then evict them. When performing this operation
from multiple threads it is possible that some of the in-core dataset
information will be reused, but also possible to lose the race and load
the dataset again, even while the same information is being torn down.
Compounding the performance issue further is a change made for illumos
issue 5056 which made dataset eviction single threaded. In environments
using automation to manage ZFS datasets, it is now possible to create
enough of a backlog of dataset evictions to consume excessive amounts
of kernel memory and to bog down the system.
The fix employed here is to make property de-registration O(1). With this
change in place, it is hoped that a single thread is more than sufficient
to handle eviction processing. If it isn't, the problem can be solved
by increasing the number of threads devoted to the eviction taskq.

Associate dsl property callback records with both the
dsl directory and the dsl dataset that is registering the
callback. Both connections are protected by the dsl directory's
"dd_lock".
When linking callbacks into a dsl directory, group them by
the property type. This helps reduce the space penalty for the
double association (the property name pointer is stored once
per dsl_dir instead of in each record) and reduces the number of
strcmp() calls required to do callback processing when updating
a single property. Property types are stored in a linked list
since currently ZFS registers a maximum of 10 property types
for each dataset.
Note that the property buckets/records associated with a dsl
directory are created on demand, but only freed when the dsl
directory is freed. Given the static nature of property types
and their small number, there is no benefit to freeing the few
bytes of memory used to represent the property record earlier.
When a property record becomes empty, the dsl directory is either
going to become unreferenced a little later in this thread of
execution, or there is a high chance that another dataset is
going to be loaded that would recreate the bucket anyway.
Replace dsl_prop_unregister() with dsl_prop_unregister_all().
All callers of dsl_prop_unregister() are trying to remove
all property registrations for a given dsl dataset anyway. By
changing the API, we can avoid doing any lookups of callbacks
by property type and just traverse the list of all callbacks
for the dataset and free each one.
