frames with stations in power saving mode.
I'm not (yet) sure how to handle TX'ing aggregates frames to stations
that are in power saving mode, or whether that's even a feasible thing
to do. So in order to (mostly) not forget, leave a couple of comments
in the code.
The code presently assumes that the aggregation TID state for an ath_node
is locked not by the ath_node lock or a node+TID lock, but behind the
hardware queue said TID maps to. This assumption is going to be
incorrect for stations in power saving mode as we'll be TX'ing frames
on the multicast queue.
In any case, I'm afraid its a "later problem". :/
This function must be called with both the source and destination TXQs
locked or things will get hairy.
I added this as part of some debugging in a PR but it turned out to not
be the cause. I still think it's -correct- so, here it is.
the last buffer in the list.
The current behaviour (due to me, so pointy hat is firmly on my head here)
was incorrect - it was setting the link pointer to the last descriptor
of the _first_ buffer in the TXQ. Instead, it should have set it to the
last descriptor in the _last_ buffer in the TXQ.
This showed up as occasional TX stalls with frames in the TXQ but no
TX progress being made. Further inspection showed the TXQ looked like
it contained multiple "lists" of frames - there'd be a list of correct
frames, then a NULL link pointer, but there'd be a next buffer in the
list.
Since this code is only called upon an interface reset, it's likely
this only began showing up when I started doing stress testing
in environments which annoy the radios enough to cause lockups.
I've not yet any TX stalls with this patch applied.

Expand pci_save_state and pci_restore_state to save more of
the config state for PCI Express and PCI-X devices. Various
writable control registers are present in PCI Express that
can potentially be lost over suspend/resume cycle.
This change is modeled after similar functionality in Linux.

With minor efforts it should be possible the extend the driver to support
further chips/revisions available from Winbond. In the simplest case
only new IDs need to be added, while different chipsets might require
their own function to enter extended function mode, etc.

cards that should be handled by the mfi(4) driver.
The root of the problem is that the mpt(4) driver was masking off the
bottom bit of the PCI device ID when deciding which cards to attach to.
It appears that a number of the mpt(4) Fibre Channel cards had a LAN
variant whose PCI device ID was just one bit off from the FC card's device
ID. The FC cards were even and the LAN cards were odd.
The problem was that this pattern wasn't carried over on the SAS and
parallel SCSI mpt(4) cards. Luckily the SAS and parallel SCSI PCI device
IDs were either even numbers, or they would get masked to a supported
adjacent PCI device ID, and everything worked well.
Now LSI is using some of the odd-numbered PCI device IDs between the 3Gb
SAS device IDs for their new MegaRAID cards. This is causing the mpt(4)
driver to attach to the RAID cards instead of the mfi(4) driver.
The solution is to stop masking off the bottom bit of the device ID, and
explicitly list the PCI device IDs of all supported cards.
This change should be a no-op for mpt(4) hardware. The only intended
functional change is that for the 929X, the is_fc variable gets set. It
wasn't being set previously, but needs to be because the 929X is a Fibre
Channel card.

The tag enforces a single restriction that all DMA transactions must not
cross a 4GB boundary. Note that while this restriction technically only
applies to PCI-express, this change applies it to all PCI devices as it
is simpler to implement that way and errs on the side of caution.
- Add a softc structure for PCI bus devices to hold the bus_dma tag and
a new pci_attach_common() routine that performs actions common to the
attach phase of all PCI bus drivers. Right now this only consists of
a bootverbose printf and the allocate of a bus_dma tag if necessary.
- Adjust all PCI bus drivers to allocate a PCI bus softc and to call
pci_attach_common() from their attach routines.

extract a link status of PHY when parent driver is re(4).
RGEPHY_MII_SSR register does not seem to report correct PHY status
on some integrated PHYs used with re(4).
Unfortunately, RealTek PHYs have no additional information to
differentiate integrated PHYs from external ones so relying on PHY
model number is not enough to know that. However, it seems
RGEPHY_MII_SSR register exists for external RealTek PHYs so
checking parent driver would be good indication to know which PHY
was used. In other words, for non-re(4) controllers, the PHY is
external one and its revision number is greater than or equal to 2.
This change fixes intermittent link UP/DOWN messages reported on
RTL8169 controller.
Also, mii_attach(9) is tried after setting interface name since
rgephy(4) have to know parent driver name.

3. The two changes above unfortunately require an API change, so while

This will avoid the panic that I saw and will avoid sending invalid rates
(eg 11a/11g OFDM rates when in 11b, on 11b-only NICs (AR5211)) where the
rate table is not "big".
It also will point out situations where this occurs for the 11n NICs
which will have sufficiently large rate tables that "invalid rix" doesn't
occur.
I'll try to follow this up with a commit that adds a current operating mode
check. The "rix" is only relevant to the current operating mode and rate
table.
