b569d2132e Drain the tasks before the interface stop call in case a restart was queued. 2009-05-08 13:44:33 +00:00
Andrew Thompson
5efea30f03 Create a taskqueue for each wireless interface which provides a serialised
sleepable context for net80211 driver callbacks. This removes the need for USB
and firmware based drivers to roll their own code to defer the chip programming
for state changes, scan requests, channel changes and mcast/promisc updates.
When a driver callback completes the hardware state is now guaranteed to have
been updated and is in sync with net80211 layer.

This nukes around 1300 lines of code from the wireless device drivers making
them more readable and less race prone.

The net80211 layer has been updated as follows
 - all state/channel changes are serialised on the taskqueue.
 - ieee80211_new_state() always queues and can now be called from any context
 - scanning runs from a single taskq function and executes to completion. driver
   callbacks are synchronous so the channel, phy mode and rx filters are
   guaranteed to be set in hardware before probe request frames are
   transmitted.

339ccfb391 Hoist 802.11 encapsulation up into net80211:
o call ieee80211_encap in ieee80211_start so frames passed down to drivers
  are already encapsulated
o remove ieee80211_encap calls in drivers
o fixup wi so it recreates the 802.3 head it requires from the 802.11
  header contents
o move fast-frame aggregation from ath to net80211 (conditional on
  IEEE80211_SUPPORT_SUPERG):
  - aggregation is now done in ieee80211_start; it is enabled when the
    packets/sec exceeds ieee80211_ffppsmin (net.wlan.ffppsmin) and frames
    are held on a staging queue according to ieee80211_ffagemax
    (net.wlan.ffagemax) to wait for a frame to combine with
  - drivers must call back to age/flush the staging queue (ath does this
    on tx done, at swba, and on rx according to the state of the tx queues
    and/or the contents of the staging queue)
  - remove fast-frame-related data structures from ath
  - add ieee80211_ff_node_init and ieee80211_ff_node_cleanup to handle
    per-node fast-frames state (we reuse 11n tx ampdu state)
o change ieee80211_encap calling convention to include an explicit vap
  so frames coming through a WDS vap are recognized w/o setting M_WDS

With these changes any device able to tx/rx 3Kbyte+ frames can use fast-frames.

c43feede8b Minor cleanup of vap create work:
o add IEEE80211_C_STA capability to indicate sta mode is supported
  (was previously assumed) and mark drivers as capable
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

31a8c1edd8 Unify all the wifi *_ioctl routines
- 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.

68e8e04e93 Update 802.11 wireless support:
o major overhaul of the way channels are handled: channels are now
  fully enumerated and uniquely identify the operating characteristics;
  these changes are visible to user applications which require changes
o make scanning support independent of the state machine to enable
  background scanning and roaming
o move scanning support into loadable modules based on the operating
  mode to enable different policies and reduce the memory footprint
  on systems w/ constrained resources
o add background scanning in station mode (no support for adhoc/ibss
  mode yet)
o significantly speedup sta mode scanning with a variety of techniques
o add roaming support when background scanning is supported; for now
  we use a simple algorithm to trigger a roam: we threshold the rssi
  and tx rate, if either drops too low we try to roam to a new ap
o add tx fragmentation support
o add first cut at 802.11n support: this code works with forthcoming
  drivers but is incomplete; it's included now to establish a baseline
  for other drivers to be developed and for user applications
o adjust max_linkhdr et. al. to reflect 802.11 requirements; this eliminates
  prepending mbufs for traffic generated locally
o add support for Atheros protocol extensions; mainly the fast frames
  encapsulation (note this can be used with any card that can tx+rx
  large frames correctly)
o add sta support for ap's that beacon both WPA1+2 support
o change all data types from bsd-style to posix-style
o propagate noise floor data from drivers to net80211 and on to user apps
o correct various issues in the sta mode state machine related to handling
  authentication and association failures
o enable the addition of sta mode power save support for drivers that need
  net80211 support (not in this commit)
o remove old WI compatibility ioctls (wicontrol is officially dead)
o change the data structures returned for get sta info and get scan
  results so future additions will not break user apps
o fixed tx rate is now maintained internally as an ieee rate and not an
  index into the rate set; this needs to be extended to deal with
  multi-mode operation
o add extended channel specifications to radiotap to enable 11n sniffing

Drivers:
o ath: add support for bg scanning, tx fragmentation, fast frames,
       dynamic turbo (lightly tested), 11n (sniffing only and needs
       new hal)
o awi: compile tested only
o ndis: lightly tested
o ipw: lightly tested
o iwi: add support for bg scanning (well tested but may have some

33d5497079 Cleanup and document the implementation of firmware(9) based on
a version that i posted earlier on the -current mailing list,
and subsequent feedback received.

The core of the change is just in sys/firmware.h and kern/subr_firmware.c,
while other files are just adaptation of the clients to the ABI change
(const-ification of some parameters and hiding of internal info,
so this is fully compatible at the binary level).

In detail:
- reduce the amount of information exported to clients in struct firmware,
  and constify the pointer;

- internally, document and simplify the implementation of the various
  functions, and make sure error conditions are dealt with properly.

The diffs are large, but the code is really straightforward now (i hope).

Note also that there is a subtle issue with the implementation of
firmware_register(): currently, as in the previous version, we just
store a reference to the 'imagename' argument, but we should rather
copy it because there is no guarantee that this is a static string.
I realised this while testing this code, but i prefer to fix it in
a later commit -- there is no regression with respect to the past.

Note, too, that the version in RELENG_6 has various bugs including
missing locks around the module release calls, mishandling of modules
loaded by /boot/loader, and so on, so an MFC is absolutely necessary
there.  I was just postponing it until this cleanup to avoid doing
things twice.

cbe2bd55ad Hold on to firmware images until the interface detaches since
firmware_get() will not work while resuming. Note that we can't
simply drop the FIRMWARE_UNLOAD flag, because that will result in
a firmware image that can never be unloaded by the user since the
firmware subsystem will hold a linker reference to it (it's not
clear that firmware_put() without FIRMWARE_UNLOAD ever does quite
what you'd want).

ff046a6c6b add missed calls to bpf_peers_present 2006-06-02 23:14:40 +00:00
Christian S.J. Peron
16d878cc99 Fix the following bpf(4) race condition which can result in a panic:
(1) bpf peer attaches to interface netif0
	(2) Packet is received by netif0
	(3) ifp->if_bpf pointer is checked and handed off to bpf
	(4) bpf peer detaches from netif0 resulting in ifp->if_bpf being
	    initialized to NULL.
	(5) ifp->if_bpf is dereferenced by bpf machinery
	(6) Kaboom

This race condition likely explains the various different kernel panics
reported around sending SIGINT to tcpdump or dhclient processes. But really
this race can result in kernel panics anywhere you have frequent bpf attach
and detach operations with high packet per second load.

Summary of changes:

- Remove the bpf interface's "driverp" member
- When we attach bpf interfaces, we now set the ifp->if_bpf member to the
  bpf interface structure. Once this is done, ifp->if_bpf should never be
  NULL. [1]
- Introduce bpf_peers_present function, an inline operation which will do
  a lockless read bpf peer list associated with the interface. It should
  be noted that the bpf code will pickup the bpf_interface lock before adding
  or removing bpf peers. This should serialize the access to the bpf descriptor
  list, removing the race.
- Expose the bpf_if structure in bpf.h so that the bpf_peers_present function
  can use it. This also removes the struct bpf_if; hack that was there.
- Adjust all consumers of the raw if_bpf structure to use bpf_peers_present

Now what happens is:

	(1) Packet is received by netif0
	(2) Check to see if bpf descriptor list is empty
	(3) Pickup the bpf interface lock
	(4) Hand packet off to process

From the attach/detach side:

	(1) Pickup the bpf interface lock
	(2) Add/remove from bpf descriptor list

Now that we are storing the bpf interface structure with the ifnet, there is
is no need to walk the bpf interface list to locate the correct bpf interface.
We now simply look up the interface, and initialize the pointer. This has a
nice side effect of changing a bpf interface attach operation from O(N) (where
N is the number of bpf interfaces), to O(1).

[1] From now on, we can no longer check ifp->if_bpf to tell us whether or
    not we have any bpf peers that might be interested in receiving packets.

ad4f426ef6 Make sure that we call if_free(ifp) after bus_teardown_intr. Since we

fc74a9f93a Stop embedding struct ifnet at the top of driver softcs. Instead the
struct ifnet or the layer 2 common structure it was embedded in have
been replaced with a struct ifnet pointer to be filled by a call to the
new function, if_alloc(). The layer 2 common structure is also allocated
via if_alloc() based on the interface type. It is hung off the new
struct ifnet member, if_l2com.

This change removes the size of these structures from the kernel ABI and
will allow us to better manage them as interfaces come and go.

Other changes of note:
 - Struct arpcom is no longer referenced in normal interface code.
   Instead the Ethernet address is accessed via the IFP2ENADDR() macro.
   To enforce this ac_enaddr has been renamed to _ac_enaddr.
 - The second argument to ether_ifattach is now always the mac address
   from driver private storage rather than sometimes being ac_enaddr.
