things like EAPOL frames make it out.
After a whole bunch of hacking/testing, I discovered that they weren't
being early-dropped by the stack (but I should look at ensuring that
later..) but were even making to the hardware transmit queue.
They were mostly even being received by the remote end. However, the
remote end was completely ignoring them.
This didn't happen under 150-170MBit TCP tests as I'm guessing the TX
queue stayed very busy and the STA didn't do any scanning. However, when
doing 100Mbit/s of TCP traffic, the STA would do background scanning -
which involves it coming in and out of powersave mode with the AP.
Now, this is a total and utter hack around the real problems, which are:
* I need to implement proper power save handling and integrate it into
the filtered frames support, so the driver/stack doesn't send frames
whilst the station is actually in sleep;
* .. but frames were actually making it to the STA (macbook pro) and
the AP did receive an ACK; but a tcpdump on the receiving side showed
the EAPOL frame never made it. So the stack was dropping it for
some reason;
* Importantly - the EAPOL frames are currently going into the non-QoS
TID, which maps to the BE queue and is susceptible to that queue being
busy doing other things, but;
* There's other traffic going on in the non-QoS TID from other contexts
when scanning is going on and it's possible there's some races causing
sequence number/IV issues, but;
* Importantly importantlly, I think the interaction with TID 16 multicast
traffic in power save mode is causing issues - since I -believe- the
sequence number space being used by the EAPOL frames on TID 16 overlaps
with the multicast frames that have sequence numbers allocated and
are then stuffed on the cabq. Since with EAPOL frames being in TID 16
and queued to the BE queue, it's going to be waiting to be serviced
with all of the aggregate traffic going on - and if the CABQ gets
emptied beforehand, those TID 16 multicast frames with sequence numbers
will go out beforehand.
Now, there's quite likely a bunch of "stuff happening slightly out of
sequence" going on due to the nature of the TX path (read: lots of
overlapping and concurrent ath_start() and ath_raw_xmit() calls going
on, sigh) but I thought I had caught them all and stuffed each TID TX
behind a lock (that lasted as long as it needed to in order to get
the frame onto the relevant destination queue - thus keeping things
in order.)
Unfortunately the last problem is the big one and I'm going to stare at
it some more. If it _is_
So this is a work around for now to ensure that EAPOL frames actually
make it out before any other stuff in the non-QoS TID and HOPEFULLY
before the CABQ gets active.
I'm now going to spend a little time in the TX path figuring out exactly
why the sender is rejecting things. There's two (well, three if you count
EAPOL contents invalid) possibilities:
* The sequence number is out of order (ie, something else like the multicast
traffic on CABQ) is going out first on TID 16;
* The CCMP IV is out of order (similar to above - but less likely, as the
TX key for multicast traffic is different to unicast traffic);
* EAPOL contents strangely invalid.

The requirement (implied by the KASSERT in tap_destroy) that the tap is
closed isn't valid; destroy_dev will block in devdrn while other threads
are in d_* functions.
Note: if_tun had the same issue, addressed in SVN revisions r186391,
r186483 and r186497. The use of the condvar there appears to be
redundant with the functionality provided by destroy_dev.

lock may be held.
Kim reported that the TID lock wasn't held when ath_tx_update_clrdmask()
was called. Well, the underlying hardware TXQ for that TID.
I'm betting it's the cabq stuff. ath_tx_xmit_normal() can be called
for both real and software cabq. For software cabq, the real destination
txq is different to the txq. So, the lock check will fail.

offline in response to a INQUIRY command that does not retreive vital
product data(I personally have observed the behaviour on an Adaptec 2405
and a 5805). Force the peripheral qualifier to "connected" so that upper
layers correctly recognize that a disk is present.
This bug was uncovered by r216236. Prior to that fix, aac(4) was
accidentally clearing the peripheral qualifier for all inquiry commands.
This fixes an issue where passthrough devices were not created for
disks behind aac(4) controllers suffering from the bug. I have
verified that if a disk is not present that we still properly detect
that and not create the passthrough device.

entries with different security flavors are in the exports(5)

of the last entry and not the correct one for the client host.
This patch fixes that by storing separate copies of the flavors
for each host/net case, plus a default one for the case where
no hosts/nets are specified on an entry in the exports(5) file.
Unlike the patch in the PR, it replies with the security flavors
for the entry instead of merging the security flavors for all
the entries and replying with that.

umsX character device returns a read error. Update devd.conf rules
to use "DEVFS" events which are generated after that the umsX
character device node has been created/destroyed, and then there
should be no need for moused to wait up to 10 seconds for umsX to
be ready. Opening umsX should not fail except if the kernel is low
on memory. In that case the user can replug the USB mouse or use
"usbconfig" to reset the device. In case of USB mouse devices,
moused should neither retry to open its character device,
once the first read error has happened. This is an indication

The previous commit to enable CLRDMASK setting didn't do it at all
correctly for non-aggregate sessions - so the CLRDMASK bit would be
cleared and never re-set.
* move ath_tx_update_clrdmask() to be called by functions that setup
descriptors and queue frames to the hardware, rather than scattered
everywhere.
* Force CLRDMASK to be set on all non-aggregate session frames being
transmitted.
* Use ath_tx_normal_comp() now on non-aggregate sessoin frames
that are queued via ath_tx_xmit_normal(). That way the TID hwq is
updated and they can trigger (eventual) filter frame queue resets
and software retransmits.
There's still a bit more work to do in this area to reverse the silly
short-sightedness on my part, however it's likely going to be better
to fix this now than just reverting the patch.
Thanks to people on the freebsd-wireless@ mailing list for promptly

The code builds a map of regions that were freed. On every write the
code consults the map and eventually removes ranges that were freed
before, but are now overwritten.
Freed blocks are not TRIMed immediately. There is a tunable that defines
how many txg we should wait with TRIMming freed blocks (64 by default).
There is a low priority thread that TRIMs ranges when the time comes.
During TRIM we keep in-flight ranges on a list to detect colliding
writes - we have to delay writes that collide with in-flight TRIMs in
case something will be reordered and write will reached the disk before
the TRIM. We don't have to do the same for in-flight writes, as
colliding writes just remove ranges to TRIM.
