Mainly focus on files that use BSD 2-Clause license, however the tool I
was using misidentified many licenses so this was mostly a manual - error
prone - task.
The Software Package Data Exchange (SPDX) group provides a specification

opensource licenses. We are gradually adopting the specification, noting
that the tags are considered only advisory and do not, in any way,

DragonflyBSD uses the FreeBSD wireless stack and drivers. Their malloc()
API is named differently, so they don't have userland/kernel symbol
clashes like we do (think libuinet.)
So, to make it easier for them and to port to other BSDs/other operating
systems, start hiding the malloc specific bits behind defines in
ieee80211_freebsd.h.
DragonflyBSD can now put these portability defines in their local
ieee80211_dragonflybsd.h.

upper layer(s).
This eliminates the if_snd queue from net80211. Yay!
This unfortunately has a few side effects:
* It breaks ALTQ to net80211 for now - sorry everyone, but fixing
parallelism and eliminating the if_snd queue is more important
than supporting this broken traffic scheduling model. :-)
* There's no VAP and IC flush methods just yet - I think I'll add
some NULL methods for now just as placeholders.
* It reduces throughput a little because now net80211 will drop packets
rather than buffer them if the driver doesn't do its own buffering.
This will be addressed in the future as I implement per-node software
queues.
Tested:
* ath(4) and iwn(4) in STA operation
This patchset implements a new TX lock, covering both the per-VAP (and
thus per-node) TX locking and the serialisation through to the underlying
physical device.
This implements the hard requirement that frames to the underlying physical
device are scheduled to the underlying device in the same order that they
are processed at the VAP layer. This includes adding extra encapsulation
state (such as sequence numbers and CCMP IV numbers.) Any order mismatch
here will result in dropped packets at the receiver.
There are multiple transmit contexts from the upper protocol layers as well
as the "raw" interface via the management and BPF transmit paths.
All of these need to be correctly serialised or bad behaviour will result
under load.
The specifics:
* add a new TX IC lock - it will eventually just be used for serialisation
to the underlying physical device but for now it's used for both the
VAP encapsulation/serialisation and the physical device dispatch.
This lock is specifically non-recursive.
* Methodize the parent transmit, vap transmit and ic_raw_xmit function
pointers; use lock assertions in the parent/vap transmit routines.
* Add a lock assertion in ieee80211_encap() - the TX lock must be held
here to guarantee sensible behaviour.
* Refactor out the packet sending code from ieee80211_start() - now
ieee80211_start() is just a loop over the ifnet queue and it dispatches
each VAP packet send through ieee80211_start_pkt().
Yes, I will likely rename ieee80211_start_pkt() to something that
better reflects its status as a VAP packet transmit path. More on
that later.
* Add locking around the management and BAR TX sending - to ensure that
encapsulation and TX are done hand-in-hand.
* Add locking in the mesh code - again, to ensure that encapsulation
and mesh transmit are done hand-in-hand.
* Add locking around the power save queue and ageq handling, when
dispatching to the parent interface.
* Add locking around the WDS handoff.
* Add a note in the mesh dispatch code that the TX path needs to be
re-thought-out - right now it's doing a direct parent device transmit
rather than going via the vap layer. It may "work", but it's likely
incorrect (as it bypasses any possible per-node power save and
aggregation handling.)
Why not a per-VAP or per-node lock?
Because in order to ensure per-VAP ordering, we'd have to hold the
VAP lock across parent->if_transmit(). There are a few problems
with this:
* There's some state being setup during each driver transmit - specifically,
the encryption encap / CCMP IV setup. That should eventually be dragged
back into the encapsulation phase but for now it lives in the driver TX path.
This should be locked.
* Two drivers (ath, iwn) re-use the node->ni_txseqs array in order to
allocate sequence numbers when doing transmit aggregation. This should
also be locked.
* Drivers may have multiple frames queued already - so when one calls
if_transmit(), it may end up dispatching multiple frames for different
VAPs/nodes, each needing a different lock when handling that particular
end destination.
So to be "correct" locking-wise, we'd end up needing to grab a VAP or
node lock inside the driver TX path when setting up crypto / AMPDU sequence
numbers, and we may already _have_ a TX lock held - mostly for the same
destination vap/node, but sometimes it'll be for others. That could lead
to LORs and thus deadlocks.
So for now, I'm sticking with an IC TX lock. It has the advantage of
papering over the above and it also has the added advantage that I can
assert that it's being held when doing a parent device transmit.
I'll look at splitting the locks out a bit more later on.
General outstanding net80211 TX path issues / TODO:
* Look into separating out the VAP serialisation and the IC handoff.
It's going to be tricky as parent->if_transmit() doesn't give me the
opportunity to split queuing from driver dispatch. See above.
* Work with monthadar to fix up the mesh transmit path so it doesn't go via
the parent interface when retransmitting frames.
* Push the encryption handling back into the driver, if it's at all
architectually sane to do so. I know it's possible - it's what mac80211
in Linux does.
* Make ieee80211_raw_xmit() queue a frame into VAP or parent queue rather
than doing a short-cut direct into the driver. There are QoS issues
here - you do want your management frames to be encapsulated and pushed
onto the stack sooner than the (large, bursty) amount of data frames
that are queued. But there has to be a saner way to do this.
* Fragments are still broken - drivers need to be upgraded to an if_transmit()
implementation and then fragmentation handling needs to be properly fixed.
Tested:
* STA - AR5416, AR9280, Intel 5300 abgn wifi
* Hostap - AR5416, AR9160, AR9280
* Mesh - some testing by monthadar@, more to come.
* Added hwmp_update_transmitter function that checks if the metric
to the transmitter have improved. If old FI is invalid or metric
is larger the FI to the transmitter is updated occurdingly.
This is a recommendation from the 802.11 2012 standard, table 13-9;
Approved by: adrian (mentor)
* When calling ieee80211_mesh_rt_flush_peer, the rt->rt_dest argument
should not be passed because it can get freed before invalidating
the other routes that depends on it to compare with next_hop.
Use PERR_DADDR(i) instead;
Approved by: adrian (mentor)
* The standard is unclear about what should happen in case a mesh STA (not
marked as a mesh gate) recevies a PREQ for a destination that is marked
as proxy. Solution for now is not to do intermediate reply at all, and
let the PREQ reach the mesh gate;
Approved by: adrian (mentor)
* Original PREP frame is transmitted only by the target mesh STA or the
mesh STA that is the proxy target;
* Fixed so that metric value is not over written incorrectly in
hwmp_recv_preq for when replying back with a PREP;
Approved by: adrian (mentor)
This is a code re-write. ic->raw_xmit need a pointer to ieee80211_node
for the destination node (da). I have reorganized the code so that
a pointer to the da node is searched for in the end & in one place.
* Make mesh_find_txnode public to be used by HWMP, renamed to
ieee80211_mesh_finx_txnode;
* changed the argument from ieee80211_node to ieee80211vap for all
hwmp_send_* functions;
* removed the 'sa' argument from hwmp_send_* functions as all HWMP frames
have the source address equal to vap->iv_myaddr;
* Modified hwmp_send_action so that if da is MULTCAST ni=vap->iv_bss
otherwise we called ieee80211_mesh_find_txnode. Also no need to hold
a reference in this functions if da is not MULTICAST as by finding the
node it became referenced in ieee80211_find_txnode;

* Send frames that have no path to a known valid Mesh Gate;
* Added the function ieee80211_mesh_forward_to_gates that sends the frame
to the first found Mesh Gate in the forwarding information;
* If we try to discover again while we are discovering queue frame,
the discovery callout will send the frames either to mesh gates
or discards them silently;
* Queue frame also if we try to discover to frequently;

A Mesh Gate should transmit a Mesh Action frame containing
ieee80211_meshgann_ie as its only information element periodically
every ieee80211_mesh_gateint ms. Unless the mesh gate is also configure

This is according to 802.11 2012 standard;
* Introduce new SYSCTL net.wlan.mesh.gateint, with 10s default;
* Add two new functions mesh_gatemode_setup and mesh_gatemode_cb. This

mesh_send_action_meshgate;
* Added ieee80211_add_meshgate to ieee80211_mesh.h;
* Modified mesh_send_action to look similar to hwmp_send_action. This is
because we need to send out broadcast management frames.
* Introduced a new flag for mesh state IEEE80211_MESHFLAGS_ROOT. This flag
is now set by HWMP code when a mesh STA is configured as a ROOT. This
is then checked by mesh_gatemode_cb before scheduling a new callout;
* Added to new field to ieee80211_mesh_state:
+ struct callout ms_gatetimer
+ ieee80211_mesh_seq ms_gateseq;

* Modified ieee80211_recv_action to check if neighbour is peered for
IEEE80211_ACTION_CAT_MESH frames, if not frame is discarded. This is

* Removed duplicate checks in each hwmp_recv_* handlers because HWMP
is a subtype of mesh action;
Approved by: adrian (mentor)
* An HWMP PERR should be accepted even if path is valid. Because
we check if we recevied it from a neighbour that we use as a next hop;
Approved by: adrian (mentor)
* A bug occurs while in discovery mode which leaves a path marked with
both Discover and Valid flag. This happens when receiving/sending
PREQ and PREP in a particular order. Solution is to assign the Valid bit
instead of oring it;
Approved by: adrian (mentor)
If if_transmit() fails, the node ref may need freeing.
This is based on the same logic used by the ageq, which the mesh code
(re) uses for frames which need to be staged before transmitting.
It also does the same thing - if M_ENCAP is set on the mbuf, it treats
the recvif pointer as a node reference and derefs it.
* Earlier we compared two not equal metrics, one was what we recevied
in the 'new PREQ' while the other was what we already have saved which
was 'old PREQ' + link metric for the last hop;
* Fixed by adding 'new PREQ' + link metric for the last hop in a
temporary variable;
For description of the test scripts refer to projects/net80211_testsuite/wtap.
* Test 007 showed a bug in intermediate PREP for a proxy entry. Resolved;
* Test 002 showed a bug in the Addressing Mode flag for a PREQ. Resolved;

is the root when we recevie a Proactive PREQ;
o Modified so that a PREP in response of a Proactive PREQ is unicast,

o Before we mark a route to be valid we should remove the discovery
flag and then mark it valid in such a way we wont lose the isgate flag;

* Modified hwmp_send_preq to use two extra arguments for last sent PREQ and
minimum PREQ interval;
* hwmp_send_preq is called with last two arguments equal to NULL when sending

* Metric is what we have stored in our FI;
* Error in amendment, Hop count is not 0 but equals FI hopcount for target;
Approved by: adrian
* Modified HWMP PREP/PREQ to contain a proxy entry and also changed PREP
frame processing according to amendment as following:
o Fixed PREP to always update/create if acceptance criteria is meet;
o PREQ processing to reply if request is for a proxy entry that is
proxied by us;
o Removed hwmp_discover call from PREQ, because sending a PREP will
build the forward path, and by receving and accepting a PREQ we
have already built the reverse path (non-proactive code);
* Disabled code for pro-active in PREP for now (will make a separate patch for
pro-active HWMP routing later)
* Added proxy information for a Mesh route, mesh gate to use and proxy seqno;
* Modified ieee80211_encap according to amendment;

by both ieee80211_mesh_rt_update and precursor code (added in future commit);
* Modified in ieee80211_hwmp.c HWMP code to use new ieee80211_mesh_rt_update;
