Now the NDISulator supports NDIS USB drivers that it've tested with
devices as follows:
- Anygate XM-142 (Conexant)
- Netgear WG111v2 (Realtek)
- U-Khan UW-2054u (Marvell)
- Shuttle XPC Accessory PN20 (Realtek)
- ipTIME G054U2 (Ralink)
- UNiCORN WL-54G (ZyDAS)
- ZyXEL G-200v2 (ZyDAS)
All of them succeeded to attach and worked though there are still some
problems that it's expected to be solved.
To use NDIS USB support, you should rebuild and install ndiscvt(8) and
if you encounter a problem to attach please set `hw.ndisusb.halt' to
0 then retry.
I expect no changes of the NDIS code for PCI, PCMCIA devices.

return NDIS_STATUS_PENDING. In this case, it's waiting for 5 secs to
get the response from drivers now. However, some NDIS drivers can send
the response before NDIS framework gets ready to receive it so we might
always be blocked for 5 secs in current implementation. NDIS framework
should reset the event before calling NDIS driver's callback not after.

be woken up by kthread_exit. This is racey and in some cases the kthread will
exit before ndis gets around to sleep so it will be stuck indefinitely. This
change reuses the kq_exit variable to indicate that the thread has gone and
will loop on tsleep with a timeout waiting for it. If the kthread has already
exited then it will not sleep at all.

file objects calling a user-specified predicate function on each object.
The iteration terminates either when the entire list has been iterated
over or the predicate function returns a non-zero value.
linker_file_foreach() returns the value returned by the last invocation
of the predicate function. It also accepts a void * context pointer that
is passed to the predicate function as well. Using an iterator function
avoids exposing linker internals to the rest of the kernel making locking
simpler.
- Use linker_file_foreach() instead of walking the list of linker files
manually to lookup ndis files in ndis(4).
- Use linker_file_foreach() to implement linker_hwpmc_list_objects().
for a Windows ISR is 'BOOLEAN isrfunc(KINTERRUPT *, void *)' meaning
the ISR get a pointer to the interrupt object and a context pointer,
and returns TRUE if the ISR determines the interrupt was really generated
by the associated device, or FALSE if not.
I had mistakenly used 'void isrfunc(void *)' instead. It happens the
only thing this affects is the internal ndis_intr() ISR in subr_ndis.c,
but it should be fixed just in case we ever need to register a real
Windows ISR vi IoConnectInterrupt().
For NDIS miniports that provide a MiniportISR() method, the 'is_our_intr'
value returned by the method serves as the return value from ndis_isr(),
and 'call_isr' is used to decide whether or not to schedule the interrupt
handler via DPC. For drivers that only supply MiniportEnableInterrupt()
and MiniportDisableInterrupt() methods, call_isr is always TRUE and
is_our_intr is always FALSE.
In the end, there should be no functional changes, except that now
ntoskrnl_intr() can terminate early once it finds the ISR that wants
to service the interrupt.
rather than in ifindex_table[]; all (except one) accesses are

Intel's web site requires some minor tweaks to get it to work:
- The driver seems to have been released with full WMI tracing enabled,
and makes references to some WMI APIs, namely IoWMIRegistrationControl(),
WmiQueryTraceInformation() and WmiTraceMessage(). Only the first
one is ever called (during intialization). These have been implemented
as do-nothing stubs for now. Also added a definition for STATUS_NOT_FOUND
to ntoskrnl_var.h, which is used as a return code for one of the WMI
routines.
- The driver references KeRaiseIrqlToDpcLevel() and KeLowerIrql()
(the latter as a function, which is unusual because normally
KeLowerIrql() is a macro in the Windows DDK that calls KfLowewIrql()).
I'm not sure why these are being called since they're not really
part of WDM. Presumeably they're being used for backwards
compatibility with old versions of Windows. These have been
implemented in subr_hal.c. (Note that they're _stdcall routines
instead of _fastcall.)
- When querying the OID_802_11_BSSID_LIST OID to get a BSSID list,
you don't know ahead of time how many networks the NIC has found
during scanning, so you're allowed to pass 0 as the list length.
This should cause the driver to return an 'insufficient resources'
error and set the length to indicate how many bytes are actually
needed. However for some reason, the Intel driver does not honor
this convention: if you give it a length of 0, it returns some
other error and doesn't tell you how much space is really needed.
To get around this, if using a length of 0 yields anything besides
the expected error case, we arbitrarily assume a length of 64K.
This is similar to the hack that wpa_supplicant uses when doing
a BSSID list query.
for code to start out on one CPU when thunking into Windows
mode in ctxsw_utow(), and then be pre-empted and migrated to another
CPU before thunking back to UNIX mode in ctxsw_wtou(). This is
bad, because then we can end up looking at the wrong 'thread environment
block' when trying to come back to UNIX mode. To avoid this, we now
pin ourselves to the current CPU when thunking into Windows code.
Few other cleanups, since I'm here:
- Get rid of the ndis_isr(), ndis_enable_interrupt() and
ndis_disable_interrupt() wrappers from kern_ndis.c and just invoke
the miniport's methods directly in the interrupt handling routines
in subr_ndis.c. We may as well lose the function call overhead,
since we don't need to export these things outside of ndis.ko
now anyway.
- Remove call to ndis_enable_interrupt() from ndis_init() in if_ndis.c.
We don't need to do it there anyway (the miniport init routine handles
it, if needed).
- Fix the logic in NdisWriteErrorLogEntry() a little.
- Change some NDIS_STATUS_xxx codes in subr_ntoskrnl.c into STATUS_xxx
codes.
- Handle kthread_create() failure correctly in PsCreateSystemThread().
Having an additional MT_HEADER mbuf type is superfluous and redundant
as nothing depends on it. It only adds a layer of confusion. The
distinction between header mbuf's and data mbuf's is solely done
through the m->m_flags M_PKTHDR flag.
Non-native code is not changed in this commit. For compatibility
MT_HEADER is mapped to MT_DATA.

the start of the section headers has to take into account the fact
that the image_nt_header is really variable sized. It happens that
the existing calculation is correct for _most_ production binaries
produced by the Windows DDK, but if we get a binary with oddball
offsets, the PE loader could crash.
Changes from the supplied patch are:
- We don't really need to use the IMAGE_SIZEOF_NT_HEADER() macro when
computing how much of the header to return to callers of
pe_get_optional_header(). While it's important to take the variable
size of the header into account in other calculations, we never
actually look at anything outside the non-variable portion of the
header. This saves callers from having to allocate a variable sized
buffer off the heap (I purposely tried to avoid using malloc()
in subr_pe.c to make it easier to compile in both the -D_KERNEL and
!-D_KERNEL case), and since we're copying into a buffer on the
stack, we always have to copy the same amount of data or else
we'll trash the stack something fierce.
- We need <stddef.h> to get offsetof() in the !-D_KERNEL case.
- ndiscvt.c needs the IMAGE_FIRST_SECTION() macro too, since it does
a little bit of section pre-processing.

and ndis_halt_nic(). It's been disabled for some time anyway, and
it turns out there's a possible deadlock in NdisMInitializeTimer() when
acquiring the miniport block lock to modify the timer list: it's
possible for a driver to call NdisMInitializeTimer() when the miniport
block lock has already been acquired by an earlier piece of code. You
can't acquire the same spinlock twice, so this can deadlock.
Also, implement MmMapIoSpace() and MmUnmapIoSpace(), and make
NdisMMapIoSpace() and NdisMUnmapIoSpace() use them. There are some
drivers that want MmMapIoSpace() and MmUnmapIoSpace() so that they can
map arbitrary register spaces not directly associated with their
device resources. For example, there's an Atheros driver for
a miniPci card (0x168C:0x1014) on the IBM Thinkpad x40 that wants
to map some I/O spaces at 0xF00000 and 0xE00000 which are held by
the acpi0 device. I don't know what it wants these ranges for,
but if it can't map and access them, the MiniportInitialize() method
fails.
This avoids the need for sched_bind() in the default case so that you
can start up the NDIS subsystem at boot time when only CPU 0 is running.
There are potentially ways to fix it so that the DPC threads aren't
started until after the other CPUs are launched, but doing it correctly
is tricky. You need to defer the startup of the ntoskrnl subsystem
(ntoskrnl_libinit()), not just defer ndis_attach().
For now, I don't think it will make much difference having just the
single DPC thread (I started out with just one anyway). Note that this
turns the KeSetTargetProcessorDpc() routine into a no-op, since the
CPU number in struct kdpc is now ignored.
