buffers (ie, >4GB on amd64.) The underlying problem was that PREREAD doesn't sync the mbuf with the DMA memory (ie, bounce buffer), so the bounce buffer may have had stale information. Thus it was always considering the buffer completed and things just went off the rails. This change does the following: * Make ath_rx_pkt() always consume the mbuf somehow; it no longer passes error mbufs (eg CRC errors, crypt errors, etc) back up to the RX path to recycle. This means that a new mbuf is always allocated each time, but it's cleaner. * Push the RX buffer map/unmap to occur in the RX path, not ath_rx_pkt(). Thus, ath_rx_pkt() now assumes (a) it has to consume the mbuf somehow, and (b) that it's already been unmapped and synced. * For the legacy path, the descriptor isn't mapped, it comes out of coherent, DMA memory anyway. So leave it there. * For the EDMA path, the RX descriptor has to be cleared before its passed to the hardware, so that when we check with a POSTREAD sync, we actually get either a blank (not finished) or a filled out descriptor (finished.) Otherwise we get stale data in the DMA memory. * .. so, for EDMA RX path, we need PREREAD|PREWRITE to sync the data -> DMA memory, then POSTREAD|POSTWRITE to finish syncing the DMA memory -> data. * Whilst we're here, make sure that in EDMA buffer setup (ie, bzero'ing the descriptor part) is done before the mbuf is map/synched. NOTE: there's been a lot of commits besides this one with regards to tidying up the busdma handling in ath(4). Please check the recent commit history. Discussed with and thanks to: scottl Tested: * AR5416 (non-EDMA) on i386, with the DMA tag for the driver set to 2^^30, not 2^^32, STA * AR9580 (EDMA) on i386, as above, STA * User - tested AR9380 on amd64 with 32GB RAM.

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.
