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

case SCI_FAILURE_TIMEOUT:

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
time, use the simplest way to get rid of this warning, which is to cast
the switch argument to int. No functional change.

- Do not define the foo_start() methods or set if_start in the ifnet if
multiq transmit is enabled. Also, set if_transmit and if_qflush before
ether_ifattach rather than after when multiq transmit is enabled. This
helps to ensure that the drivers never try to mix different transmit
methods.
- Properly restart transmit during resume. igb(4) was not restarting it
at all, and em(4) was restarting even if the link was down and was
calling the wrong method if multiq transmit was enabled.
- Remove all the 'more' handling for transmit completions. Transmit
completion processing does not have a processing limit, so it always
runs to completion and never has more work to do when it returns.
Instead, the previous code was returning 'true' anytime there were
packets in the queue that weren't still in the process of being
transmitted. The effect was that the driver would continuously
reschedule a task to process TX completions in effect running at 100%
CPU polling the hardware until it finished transmitting all of the
packets in the ring. Now it will just wait for the next TX completion
interrupt.
- Restart packet transmission when the link becomes active.
- Fix the MSI-X queue interrupt handlers to restart packet transmission if
there are pending packets in the relevant software queue (IFQ or buf_ring)
after processing TX completions. This is the root cause for the OACTIVE
hangs as if the MSI-X queue handler drained all the pending packets from
the TX ring, nothing would ever restart it. As such, remove some
previously-added workarounds to reschedule a task to poll the TX ring
anytime OACTIVE was set.

This change also workarounds dhclient's link state handling bug by
not giving current link status.
Unlike other controllers, ale(4)'s PHY hibernation perfectly works
such that driver does not see a valid link if the controller is not
brought up. If dhclient(8) runs on ale(4) it will blindly waits
until link UP and then gives up after 10 seconds. Because
dhclient(8) still thinks interface got a valid link when IFM_AVALID
is not set for selected media, this change makes dhclient initiate
DHCP without waiting for link UP.
needs to defer link state handling.
While I'm here, mark IFF_DRV_RUNNING before changing media. If
link is established without any delay, that link state change
handling could be lost.
not disable it and it is even harmful as hselasky found out. Historically,
this code was originated from (OLDCARD) CardBus driver and later leaked into
PCI driver when CardBus was newbus'ified and refactored with PCI driver.
However, it is not really necessary even for CardBus.

bridges. Rather than blindly enabling the windows on all of them, only
enable the window when an MSI interrupt is enabled for a device behind
the bridge, similar to what already happens for HT PCI-PCI bridges.
To implement this, each x86 Host-PCI bridge driver has to be able to
locate it's actual backing device on bus 0. For ACPI, use the _ADR
method to find the slot and function of the device. For the non-ACPI
case, the legacy(4) driver already scans bus 0 looking for Host-PCI
bridge devices. Now it saves the slot and function of each bridge that
it finds as ivars that the Host-PCI bridge driver can then use in its
pcib_map_msi() method.
This fixes machines where non-MSI interrupts were broken by the previous
round of HT MSI changes.

Right now ath_txq_sched() is mainly called from the TX ath_tx_processq()
routine, which is (mostly) done as part of the taskqueue. It shouldn't
be called outside the taskqueue.
But now that I'm about to flip back on BAR TX, I'm going to start
stressing the ath_tx_tid_pause() and ath_tx_tid_resume() paths.
What I don't want to have happen is a reschedule of the TID traffic
_during_ the completion of TX frames.
Ideally I'd like to have a way to flag back up to the processing code
that the current hardware queue should be rechecked for software TID
queue frames. But for now, this should suffice for the BAR TX case.
I may eventually delete this code once I've brought some further
sanity to the general TX queue/completion path.
Don't disable BARs on any PCI display devices, because doing that can
sometimes cause the main memory bus to stop working, causing all
memory reads to return nothing but 0xFFFFFFFF, even though the memory
location was previously written. After a while a privileged
instruction fault will appear and then nothing more can be debugged.
The reason for this behaviour is unknown.

for 82550C. For 82550 controllers this change restores CPUSaver
microcode loading. Due to silicon bug on 82550 and 82550C with
server extension, these controllers seem to require CPUSaver
microcode to receive fragmented UDP datagrams. However the
microcode shouldn't be used on client featured 82550C as it locks
up the controller. In addition, client featured 82550C does not
have the silicon bug. Also clear temporary memory used for
microcode loading since the same memory area is used for other
commands.
While I'm here use 82550C in probe message instead of generic
82550.
