Very strange. Need to check what happens on legacy descriptors,

portions were already reapplied in r233708:
- Use a dedicated task to handle deferred transmits from the if_transmit
method instead of reusing the existing per-queue interrupt task.
Reusing the per-queue interrupt task could result in both an interrupt
thread and the taskqueue thread trying to handle received packets on a
single queue resulting in out-of-order packet processing.
- Call ether_ifdetach() earlier in igb_detach().
- Drain tasks and free taskqueues during igb_detach().

- add a sysctl, dev.netmap.ix_crcstrip, to control whether ixgbe should
strip the CRC on received frames. Defaults to 0, which keeps the CRC.
and improves performance when receiving min-sized (64-byte) frames.
This matters because min-sized frames is one of the standard
benchmarks for switches and routers, some chipsets seem to issue
read-modify-write cycles for PCIe transactions that are not a
full cache line, and a min-sized frame triggers the bug, resulting
in reduced throughput -- 9.7 instead of 14.88 Mpps -- and heavy
bus load.
- for the time being, always look for incoming packets on a select/poll
even if there has not been an interrupt in the meantime. This is
only a temporary workaround for a probable race condition in keeping
track of rx interrupts.
Add a couple of diagnostic vars to help studying the problem.
values as in the Intel driver 3.8.21 for linux. The fact that it
is standard in the above driver suggests that it has no bad side
effects.
But of course there must be a reason for enabling features, not
just "it does not harm", so here it is a good one:
Prefetching enables full line rate even using a single queue (14.88
Mpps, compared to ~12 Mpps without prefetch). This in turn is
terribly useful when one wants to schedule traffic.
For obvious reasons the difference is only visible with netmap
or other high speed solutions, but presumably the advantage
should be in the order of a fraction of a microsecond when
starting transmission on an empty queue.

add a FreeBSD_version check. It should work fine for compiling

* Conditionally compile the 11n options only when 11n is enabled.
The above changes allow the ath(4) driver to compile and run on

I've done a test against the net80211 and tools in 8.1-RELEASE.
The NIC used in testing is the AR2427 in an EEEPC.
Just to be clear - this change is to allow the -HEAD ath/hal/rate

when running on earlier kernels, it should only be used for legacy
mode. (Don't define ATH_ENABLE_11N.)

Don't ever put normal data frames on the mcast software queue.
Just put mcast frames there if needed.

the decision. Don't re-do it.
Whilst i'm here, add another random debugging statement.
This fixes bootp on if_smc, as bootp code perform SIOCSIFADDR

call these after rate control selection is done.
The duration/protection code wasn't working - it expected the rix to
be valid. Unfortunately after I moved the rate control selection into
late in the process, the rix value isn't valid and thus the protection/
duration code would get things wrong.
HT frames are now correctly protected with an RTS and for the AR5416,
this involves having the aggregate frames be limited to 8K.
TODO:
* Fix up the DMA sync to occur just before the frame is queued to the
hardware. I'm adjusting the duration here but not doing the DMA
flush.
* Doubly/triply ensure that the aggregate frames are being limited to
the correct size, or the AR5416 will get unhappy when TXing RTS-protected
aggregates.
if any subframes in an aggregate have different protection from the
first frame in the formed aggregate, don't add that frame to the
aggregate.
This is likely a suboptimal method (I think we'll mostly be OK marking
frames that have seqno's with the same protection as normal data frames)
but I'll just be cautious for now.
This will be used by some upcoming code to ensure that aggregates
are enforced to be a certain size. The AR5416 has a limitation on
RTS protected aggregates (8KiB).
A BAR frame must be transmitted when an frame in an A-MPDU session fails
to transmit - it's retried too often, or it can't be cloned for
re-transmission. The BAR frame tells the remote side to advance the
left edge of the block-ack window (BAW) to a new value.
In order to do this:
* TX for that particular node/TID must be paused;
* The existing frames in the hardware queue needs to be completed, whether
they're TXed successfully or otherwise;
* The new left edge of the BAW is then communicated to the remote side
via a BAR frame;
* Once the BAR frame has been sucessfully TXed, aggregation can resume;
* If the BAR frame can't be successfully TXed, the aggregation session
is torn down.
This is a first pass that implements the above. What needs to be done/
tested:
* What happens during say, a channel reset / stuck beacon _and_ BAR
TX. It _should_ be correctly buffered and retried once the
reset has completed. But if a bgscan occurs (and they shouldn't,
grr) the BAR frame will be forcibly failed and the aggregation session
will be torn down.
Yes, another reason to disable bgscan until I've figured this out.
* There's way too much locking going on here. I'm going to do a couple
of further passes of sanitising and refactoring so the (re) locking
isn't so heavy. Right now I'm going for correctness, not speed.
* The BAR TX can fail if the hardware TX queue is full. Since there's
no "free" space kept for management frames, a full TX queue (from eg
an iperf test) can race with your ability to allocate ath_buf/mbufs
and cause issues. I'll knock this on the head with a subsequent
commit.
* I need to do some _much_ more thorough testing in hostap mode to ensure
that many concurrent traffic streams to different end nodes are correctly
handled. I'll find and squish whichever bugs show up here.
But, this is an important step to being able to flip on 802.11n by default.
The last issue (besides bug fixes, of course) is HT frame protection and
I'll address that in a subsequent commit.
Linux ath9k doesn't have this issue as it doesn't try queuing multi-
descriptor frames to the hardware.
Before, I was only setting the first and last descriptor in the final
frame correctly - and that was done by accident. The first descriptor in
the last sub-frame was being correctly updated by ath_tx_setds_11n();
the last descriptor in the last sub-frame was being correctly updated
by ath_buf_set_rate(). But both of those are "incorrect".
The correct behaviour is:
* AR_IsAggr is set for all descriptors for all subframes in an aggregate.
* AR_MoreAggr is set for all descriptors for all non-final sub-frames
in an aggregate.
Ie, all descriptors in the last sub-frame of an aggregate must have this
field set to 0.
I still need to do a couple of extra passes to ensure the pad delimiter
field is being correctly handled in all descriptors in the last sub-frame.

Therefore, let mpt_pci_probe() return BUS_PROBE_LOW_PRIORITY.
While it, let mpt_pci_probe() return BUS_PROBE_DEFAULT instead of 0 in

This is because the switch is done on a SCI_TASK_STATUS enum type, but
the SCI_FAILURE_TIMEOUT value belongs to SCI_STATUS instead.
Because the list of SCI_TASK_STATUS values cannot be modified at this
