but partly to just tidy up things. The problem here - there are too many TX buffers in the queue! By the time one needs to transmit an EAPOL frame (for this PR, it's the response to the group rekey notification from the AP) there are no ath_buf entries free and the EAPOL frame doesn't go out. Now, the problem! * Enforcing the TX buffer limitation _before_ we dequeue the frame? Bad idea. Because.. * .. it means I can't check whether the mbuf has M_EAPOL set. The solution(s): * De-queue the frame first * Don't bother doing the TX buffer minimum free check until after we know whether it's an EAPOL frame or not. * If it's an EAPOL frame, allocate the buffer from the mgmt pool rather than the default pool. Whilst I'm here: * Add a tweak to limit how many buffers a single node can acquire. * Don't enforce that for EAPOL frames. * .. set that to default to 1/4 of the available buffers, or 32, whichever is more sane. This doesn't fix issues due to a sleeping node or a very poor performing node; but this doesn't make it worse. Tested: * AR5416 STA, TX'ing 100+ mbit UDP to an AP, but only 50mbit being received (thus the TX queue fills up.) * .. with CCMP / WPA2 encryption configured * .. and the group rekey time set to 10 seconds, just to elicit the behaviour very quickly.

This is the top level of the FreeBSD source directory. This file was last revised on: $FreeBSD$ For copyright information, please see the file COPYRIGHT in this directory (additional copyright information also exists for some sources in this tree - please see the specific source directories for more information). The Makefile in this directory supports a number of targets for building components (or all) of the FreeBSD source tree, the most commonly used one being ``world'', which rebuilds and installs everything in the FreeBSD system from the source tree except the kernel, the kernel-modules and the contents of /etc. The ``world'' target should only be used in cases where the source tree has not changed from the currently running version. See: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/makeworld.html for more information, including setting make(1) variables. The ``buildkernel'' and ``installkernel'' targets build and install the kernel and the modules (see below). Please see the top of the Makefile in this directory for more information on the standard build targets and compile-time flags. Building a kernel is a somewhat more involved process, documentation for which can be found at: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/kernelconfig.html And in the config(8) man page. Note: If you want to build and install the kernel with the ``buildkernel'' and ``installkernel'' targets, you might need to build world before. More information is available in the handbook. The sample kernel configuration files reside in the sys/<arch>/conf sub-directory (assuming that you've installed the kernel sources), the file named GENERIC being the one used to build your initial installation kernel. The file NOTES contains entries and documentation for all possible devices, not just those commonly used. It is the successor of the ancient LINT file, but in contrast to LINT, it is not buildable as a kernel but a pure reference and documentation file.
