for Atheros AR5416 and later wireless devices.
This is a very large commit - the complete history can be
found in the user/adrian/if_ath_tx branch.
Legacy (ie, pre-AR5416) devices also use the per-software
TXQ support and (in theory) can support non-aggregation
ADDBA sessions. However, the net80211 stack doesn't currently
support this.
In summary:
TX path:
* queued frames normally go onto a per-TID, per-node queue
* some special frames (eg ADDBA control frames) are thrown
directly onto the relevant hardware queue so they can
go out before any software queued frames are queued.
* Add methods to create, suspend, resume and tear down an
aggregation session.
* Add in software retransmission of both normal and aggregate
frames.
* Add in completion handling of aggregate frames, including
parsing the block ack bitmap provided by the hardware.
* Write an aggregation function which can assemble frames into
an aggregate based on the selected rate control and channel
configuration.
* The per-TID queues are locked based on their target hardware
TX queue. This matches what ath9k/atheros does, and thus
simplified porting over some of the aggregation logic.
* When doing TX aggregation, stick the sequence number allocation
in the TX path rather than net80211 TX path, and protect it
by the TXQ lock.
Rate control:
* Delay rate control selection until the frame is about to
be queued to the hardware, so retried frames can have their
rate control choices changed. Frames with a static rate
control selection have that applied before each TX, just
to simplify the TX path (ie, not have "static" and "dynamic"
rate control special cased.)
* Teach ath_rate_sample about aggregates - both completion and
errors.
* Add an EWMA for tracking what the current "good" MCS rate is
based on failure rates.
Misc:
* Introduce a bunch of dirty hacks and workarounds so TID mapping
and net80211 frame inspection can be kept out of the net80211
layer. Because of the way this code works (and it's from Atheros
and Linux ath9k), there is a consistent, 1:1 mapping between
TID and AC. So we need to ensure that frames going to a specific
TID will _always_ end up on the right AC, and vice versa, or the
completion/locking will simply get very confused. I plan on
addressing this mess in the future.
Known issues:
* There is no BAR frame transmission just yet. A whole lot of
tidying up needs to occur before BAR frame TX can occur in the
"correct" place - ie, once the TID TX queue has been drained.
* Interface reset/purge/etc results in frames in the TX and RX
queues being removed. This creates holes in the sequence numbers
being assigned and the TX/RX AMPDU code (on either side) just
hangs.
* There's no filtered frame support at the present moment, so
stations going into power saving mode will simply have a number
of frames dropped - likely resulting in a traffic "hang".
* Raw frame TX is going to just not function with 11n aggregation.
Likely this needs to be modified to always override the sequence
number if the frame is going into an aggregation session.
However, general raw frame injection currently doesn't work in
general in net80211, so let's just ignore this for now until
this is sorted out.
* HT protection is just not implemented and won't be until the above
is sorted out. In addition, the AR5416 has issues RTS protecting
large aggregates (anything >8k), so the work around needs to be
ported and tested. Thus, this will be put on hold until the above
work is complete.
* The rate control module 'sample' is the only currently supported
module; onoe/amrr haven't been tested and have likely bit rotted
a little. I'll follow up with some commits to make them work again
for non-11n rates, but they won't be updated to handle 11n and
aggregation. If someone wishes to do so then they're welcome to
send along patches.
* .. and "sample" doesn't really do a good job of 11n TX. Specifically,
the metrics used (packet TX time and failure/success rates) isn't as
useful for 11n. It's likely that it should be extended to take into
account the aggregate throughput possible and then choose a rate
which maximises that. Ie, it may be acceptable for a higher MCS rate
with a higher failure to be used if it gives a more acceptable
throughput/latency then a lower MCS rate @ a lower error rate.
Again, patches will be gratefully accepted.
Because of this, ATH_ENABLE_11N is still not enabled by default.

subframes, etc.
* Break out the buffer free, buffer busy/unbusy default completion handler

* When doing software TX queue handling and flush, it's possible
that the deletion of a VAP (eg a STA shutdown) will queue a
"STA Disassociate" frame whilst the interface is being deleted.
The VAP is then deleted, and the frame ends up being queued
to a node that is freed before it can be TX'ed. Things go awry
at this point.
There's no way at the present to avoid freeing the underlying node
when the vap is being deleted. It's too late in the game.
I suspect the real fix is to make sure the frame is software
queued with no completion information somehow, so it doesn't
link back to a node whose underlying VAP has been freed.
For now, we'll just have to do this.
* Add some comments showing what's going on.
* Move an instance of the ATH_LOCK() around to protect the interrupt

and interface resets to be marked as ATH_RESET_DEFAULT, ATH_RESET_FULL,
ATH_RESET_NOLOSS.
Currently a reset is still a reset - ie, all tx/rx frames in the hardware
queues are purged. This means that those frames will be lost to the 11n TX
and RX aggregation state tracking, breaking AMPDU sessions.
The (eventual) new semantics:
* ATH_RESET_DEFAULT:
full reset, this is the default for reset situations
which I haven't yet figured out what they should be.
* ATH_RESET_FULL:
A full reset - for things such as channel changes.
* ATH_RESET_NOLOSS:
Don't flush TX/RX queues - handle pending RX frames and leave TX
frames where they are; restart TX DMA from where it was.
* Change ath_rx_proc() to ath_rx_tasklet(); make that the taskqueue function.
This way (eventually) ath_rx_proc() can be called from elsewhere in the
packet reset/processing queue so frames aren't just "flushed" during
interface resets/reconfigure. This breaks 802.11n RX aggregation tracking.
* Extend ath_tx_proc() to take a 'resched' flag, which marks whether to
reschedule further RX PCU reads or not.
* Change ath_tx_processq() to take a "dosched" flag, which will eventually
be used to indicate whether to reschedule the software TX scheduler.

ti(4) used sf_buf(9) interface for jumbo buffers but it was broken

Due to the nature of sf_buf(9) it heavily relies on VM changes but
it seems ti(4) was not received much blessing from VM gurus. I

ti(4) still needs more bus_dma(9) cleanups and should use separate
DMA tag/map for each ring(standard, jumbo, mini, command, event

checksum offloading and VLAN hardware tag insertion/stripping from
the currently enabled hardware offloading capabilities.
Previously if_hwassist, which was initialized to TX/RX checksum
offloading, was blindly used to enable both TX and RX checksum
offloading such that disabling either TX or RX checksum offloading
was not possible.
ti(4) controllers support TX/RX checksum offloading with VLAN
tagging so announce TX/RX checksum offloading capability over VLAN
to vlan(4).
Make VLAN hardware tag insertion/stripping honors currently enabled
interface capability instead of blindly enabling VLAN hardware
tagging. This change allows disabling hardware support of VLAN tag.
Because ti(4) supports VLAN oversized frames, make network stack
know the capability by setting if_hdrlen.
While I'm here, rewrite SIOCSIFCAP handler and make sure to
reinitialize controller whenever TX/RX checksum offloading and VLAN
hardware tagging option is changed. The requirement of controller
reinitialization comes from the limitation of Tigon I/II firmware.
Tigon I/II firmware requires all related RCBs should be
reinitialized whenever any of its hardware offloading capabilities
change.
vlan(4) is also notified whenever the parent interface's capability
changes such that it can correctly handle TX/RX checksum offloading
based on parent interface's enabled offloading capabilities.
RX checksum offloading handler was changed to make upper stack use
controller computed partial checksum value. Previously, ti(4) just
set the computed value for any frames(IPv4, IPv6) and the value was
not used in upper stack because driver didn't set CSUM_DATA_VALID
such that upper network stack had to recompute checksum of TCP/UDP
packets. I have no idea how this was not noticed for a long time.
With this change, upper network stack does not have to fully
recompute the checksum such that calculating pseudo checksum based
on partial checksum is sufficient to know whether received packet's
checksum is correct or not. However, I don't know why ti(4) does
not have controller compute pseudo checksum as controller has
ability to do it. I'm just guessing enabling that feature could
trigger a firmware bug or could be slower than computing it on host
side so just leave it as it was.
In order not to produce false positives, ti(4) now checks whether
controller actually computed IP or TCP/UDP checksum by checking
ti_flags field.

This was broken in r175872.

I discovered this particular issue when doing some promiscuous radiotap

AX88772B data sheet does not show detailed information about
checksum offloading related things. It seems the controller has
lots of options to support checksum offloading but I failed to
understand why this feature requires so much complex controller
configuration and status bits.
One of major difference between AX88772B and its predecessor is
AX88772B uses a new RX header format when RX checksum offloading is
enabled. It also requires the received length of a frame should be
multiple of 4. Controller will pad necessary bytes to make the
length of received frame to be multiple of 4. It is driver's
responsibility to offset this pad bytes.
Note, AX88772B could be configured to get partial checksum value in
in RX header. This mode uses different RX header format and
currently we don't use that fature.
This change makes axe(4) use driver specific MII attach handler to
override uether(9)'s default MII attach and announce flow-control
capability for AX88178/AX88772A/AX88772B to PHY drivers. It seems
original AX88772 also supports flow-control but I didn't enable it
due to lack of test/access to the controller. The flow-control
threshold parameter is loaded from EEPROM and there is no way to
override this value without reprogramming EEPROM. For AX88772B,
TX/RX IP/TCP/UDP checksum offloading is announced to network stack.
IPv6 and PPPoE checksum offloading is also supported by controller
but we have no way to take advantage of these features.
Driver already knows PHY address so make PHY driver know that
information and remove unnecessary PHY address check used in
miibus_readreg/miibus_writereg callbacks. Also announce AX88178,

because there are too many variants to test that change. Probably
dc(4) shall need a PHY reset in dc_ifmedia_upd() but it's hard to
verify correctness of the change.
This change reliably makes ULi M5263 establish a link.
While I'm here correctly report media change result. Previously it
always reported a success.
- for the legacy PCI ATA channels move channel number out of the device
description, same as it is for ahci(4), siis(4) and mvs(4);
- add device description for the ISA ATA channels.

It seems the D_PSEUDO flag was meant to allow make_dev() to return NULL.
Nowadays we have a different interface for that; make_dev_p(). There's
no need to keep it there.
While there, remove an unneeded D_NEEDMINOR from the gpio driver.

Some earlier series (~AR5212?) play badly with BIOSes.
In these instances, they may require a forced reset (by transitioning
the NIC through D0 -> D3 -> D0) before they probe/attach correctly.
This is currently disabled because:
* I haven't figured out the "right" code to ensure this only happens
for PCI NICs (not PCIe or Cardbus);
* I haven't at all done wide scale testing for this, and I'm not yet
ready for said wide-scale testing.
I'm documenting this primarily so users with misbehaving NICs have
something to tinker with.

The final missing bit here is enabling the PCI configuration register
read, but there's currently no glue available for the HAL to read (and
write) PCI configuration space registers.

The AR5008/AR9001 series NICs have a bug where BB register reads
will occasionally be corrupted. This could cause issues with things
such as ANI, which adjust operational parameters based on the
BB radio register reads. This was introduced in the AR5008 chip
and fixed with the first released AR9002 series NIC (AR9280v2.)
A followup commit will implement the acutal WAR when reading
BB registers. I'm still not sure how I'll implement it - whether
it should be done in the osdep layer, or whether it should just
live in the AR5416 HAL. Either way, they can use this capability
bit to determine whether to implement the WAR or not.
Thankyou to various sources inside Atheros who have helped me track
down what this particular issue is.

There are HAL methods which are actually direct register
access, rather than simply HAL calls. Because of this, these
register accesses would use the non-debug path in ah_osdep.h
as opt_ah.h isn't included.
With this, the correct register access methods are used,
so debugging traces show things such as TXDP checking and
TSF32 access.
Because driver is accessing a common MII structure in

That way the radar errors aren't enabled prematurely.
A DFS tester has reported that radar events are reported
during channel scanning, before DFS is actually enabled.
Use the offset into the device tree from fdtp as the phandle instead
of using pointer into the device tree. This will make sure that the
phandle fits into a uint32_t type, even when compiled for 64bit.

I looked further into the magic 88-byte threshold after which the bug
occurs. It turns out that figure included the 24-byte tx_desc, and up
to 64 bytes of beacon frame (header+data).
rum_write_multi doesn't seem happy with writing >64 bytes at a time to
the MAC register. If I break it up into separate calls (e.g. bytes
0-63, then bytes 64-65, written at the appropriate offset) I see the
proper beacon frames being transmitted now.

Query for this feature in /sbin/atacontrol and /usr/sbin/burncd.
If these utilities detect that ATA_CAM is enabled, then these utilities
will error out. These utilities are compatible with the old ATA
driver, but are incomptible with the new ATA_CAM driver. By erroring out,
we give end-users an idea as to what remedies to use, and reduce the need for them
to file PR's. For atacontrol, camcontrol must be used instead,
and for burncd, alternative utilties from the ports collection must be used
such as sysutils/cdrtools.
In future, maybe someone can re-write burncd to work with ATA_CAM,
but at least for now, we give a somewhat useful error message to end users.
