tx rate control

- Change the USB buffer sizes to depend on the transfer speed. With UMTS
we use a buffer 384k / 1000 frames/sec * 50msecs =~ 15kB for example.
- Add a MODULE_VERSION statement
the Sierra and Novatel devices, ignore all umass devices and hide the umass
devices that represent the CD ROM devices (but not the SD card slot in the
Huawei Mobile dongle).
Note: This driver in FBSD7 seems to suffer from memory corruption when used
with an Option GT Quad. The E220 however works flawlessly.
Also add the ID for the Option GTMaxHSUPA, provided by Olivier Fromme.
example the Huawei Mobile has an SD card slot on the second interface.
- Do not attach to Qualcomm and Novatel cards. If ignored these cards will
switch to modem mode automatically it seems.
- Reduce the priority on generic attachment to the appropriate level.
Note: A better solution is to send an eject command straightaway, but that can
be left till later.
This was located in the ubsa driver, but should be moved into a separate
driver:
- 3G modems provide multiple serial ports to allow AT commands while the PPP
connection is up.
- 3G modems do not provide baud rate or other serial port settings.
- Huawei cards need specific initialisation.
- ubsa is for Belkin adapters, an Linuxy choice for another device like 3G.
Speeds achieved here with a weak signal at best is ~40kb/s (UMTS). No spooky
STALLED messages as well.
Next: Move over all entries for Sierra and Novatel cards once I have found
testers, and implemented serial port enumeration for Sierra (or rather have
Andrea Guzzo do it). They list all endpoints in 1 iface instead of 4 ifaces.

After I removed all the unit2minor()/minor2unit() calls from the kernel
yesterday, I realised calling minor() everywhere is quite confusing.
Character devices now only have the ability to store a unit number, not
a minor number. Remove the confusion by using dev2unit() everywhere.
This commit could also be considered as a bug fix. A lot of drivers call
minor(), while they should actually be calling dev2unit(). In -CURRENT
this isn't a problem, but it turns out we never had any problem reports
related to that issue in the past. I suspect not many people connect
more than 256 pieces of the same hardware.

Kick the device into the right mode if it comes up as a flash-disk.
Set the buffers to a sensible 1024 bytes instead of a far too small
default.
Don't attempt to change speed, baud, parity and such, the device does
not understand it.
this also can be happened if we pull the USN stick out forcibly.
Currently the ZyDAS driver uses tsleep() when it try to query a read
command to the device and it'd make a timeout if the device doesn't
response within about 1 sec.
In a case of that the USB stick is gone by hand and the driver's
scanning with changing the channel numbers, the thread which is sleeping
until a command requested is responded can be waked up after all
detaching routines finished that means the zyd softc already freed.
Tring to touch the softc freed by the wakeup thread makes a panic.
So make sure that all sleeping threads should be waken up before the
detach is completed and any other new requests to the device should be
prevented.
detaching that when the USB is pulled out forcibly during the driver is
running background scan, a page fault can be occurred even if we called
usb_rem_task() when detaching. It looks like a kind of races.
the device indicates that it wasn't able to write all the data in the
buffer out.
Ed Schouten doesn't like the idea of a panic here. I think for
production code, we need something better. For right now, while we're
trying to assess the impact of this issue, a panic is OK. So complain
to me, not him if this is hit.
from umodem and ufoma.
With these changes, umodem kinda works for me now. It certainly gets
past the "tip" bug that I found earlier where 115200 wasn't a valid
baud rate. This was "broken" in the mpsafetty commit, but in reality,
umodem was always broken.

lists in the Linux ipaq driver. I then took the numbers we had in
usbdevs and filled in the right symbols and eliminated duplicates.

The last half year I've been working on a replacement TTY layer for the
FreeBSD kernel. The new TTY layer was designed to improve the following:
- Improved driver model:
The old TTY layer has a driver model that is not abstract enough to
make it friendly to use. A good example is the output path, where the
device drivers directly access the output buffers. This means that an
in-kernel PPP implementation must always convert network buffers into
TTY buffers.
If a PPP implementation would be built on top of the new TTY layer
(still needs a hooks layer, though), it would allow the PPP
implementation to directly hand the data to the TTY driver.
- Improved hotplugging:
With the old TTY layer, it isn't entirely safe to destroy TTY's from
the system. This implementation has a two-step destructing design,
where the driver first abandons the TTY. After all threads have left
the TTY, the TTY layer calls a routine in the driver, which can be
used to free resources (unit numbers, etc).
The pts(4) driver also implements this feature, which means
posix_openpt() will now return PTY's that are created on the fly.
- Improved performance:
One of the major improvements is the per-TTY mutex, which is expected
to improve scalability when compared to the old Giant locking.
Another change is the unbuffered copying to userspace, which is both
used on TTY device nodes and PTY masters.
Upgrading should be quite straightforward. Unlike previous versions,
existing kernel configuration files do not need to be changed, except
when they reference device drivers that are listed in UPDATING.

USAGE WHEEL

"USAGE TWHEEL" should be consumed after the FEATURE item is skipped,
otherwise, the INPUT item will be assigned to "USAGE TWHEEL" later,
other than "USAGE WHEEL".

The kbd, kbdmux, ugen and uhid drivers included <sys/tty.h>, because
they needed clists, which have been moved to <sys/clist.h> some time
ago. In the MPSAFE TTY branch, <sys/tty.h> does not include
<sys/clist.h>, which means we have to teach these drivers to include
this header file directly.

dispatched without Giant, and add NETISR_FORCEQUEUE, which allows specific
netisr handlers to always be dispatched via a queue (deferred). Mark the
usb and if_ppp netisr handlers as NETISR_FORCEQUEUE, and explicitly
acquire Giant in those handlers.
Previously, any netisr handler not marked NETISR_MPSAFE would necessarily
run deferred and with Giant acquired. This change removes Giant
scaffolding from the netisr infrastructure, but NETISR_FORCEQUEUE allows
non-MPSAFE handlers to continue to force deferred dispatch so as to avoid
lock order reversals between their acqusition of Giant and any calling
context.
It is likely we will be able to remove NETISR_FORCEQUEUE once
IFF_NEEDSGIANT is removed, as non-MPSAFE usb and if_ppp drivers will no
longer be supported.

some longstanding issues:
o pass the vap since it's now the "coin of the realm" and required
to do things like set initial tx parameters in private node
state for use prior to association
o pass the mac address as cards that maintain outboard station
tables require this to create an entry (e.g. in ibss mode)
o remove the node table reference, we only have one node table
and it's unlikely this will change so this is not needed to

o add ieee80211_opcap array to map an opmode to the equivalent capability bit
o move IEEE80211_C_OPMODE definition to where capabilities are defined so it's
clear it should be kept in sync (on future additions)
o check device capabilities in clone create before trying to create a vap;
this makes driver checks unneeded
o make error codes return on failed clone request unique
o temporarily add console printfs on clone request failures to aid in
debugging; these will move under DIAGNOSTIC or similar before release
- Limit grabbing the lock to SIOCSIFFLAGS.
- Move ieee80211_start_all() to SIOCSIFFLAGS.
- Remove SIOCSIFMEDIA as it is not useful.
- Limit ether_ioctl to only SIOCGIFADDR. SIOCSIFADDR and SIOCSIFMTU have no
affect as there is no input/output path in the vap parent. The vap code
will handle the reinit of the mac address changes.
- Split off ndis_ioctl_80211 as it was getting too different to wired devices.
This fixes a copyout while locked and a lock recursion.
