The Ralink RT2500 driver uses this API instead of NdisMIndicateReceivePacket().
Drivers use NdisMEthIndicateReceive() when they know they support
802.3 media and expect to hand their packets only protocols that want
to deal with that particular media type. With this API, the driver does
not manage its own NDIS_PACKET/NDIS_BUFFER structures. Instead, it
lets bound protocols have a peek at the data, and then they supply
an NDIS_PACKET/NDIS_BUFFER combo to the miniport driver, into which
it copies the packet data.
Drivers use NdisMIndicateReceivePacket() to allow their packets to
be read by any protocol, not just those bound to 802.3 media devices.
To make this work, we need an internal pool of NDIS_PACKETS for
receives. Currently, we check to see if the driver exports a
MiniportTransferData() method in its characteristics structure,
and only allocate the pool for drivers that have this method.
This should allow the RT2500 driver to work correctly, though I
still have to fix ndiscvt(8) to parse its .inf file properly.
Also, change kern_ndis.c:ndis_halt_nic() to reap timers before
acquiring NDIS_LOCK(), since the reaping process might entail sleeping
briefly (and we can't sleep with a lock held).
i8253reg.h, and add some defines to control a speaker.
- Move PPI related defines from i386/isa/spkr.c into ppireg.h and use them.
- Move IO_{PPI,TIMER} defines into ppireg.h and timerreg.h respectively.
- Use isa/isareg.h rather than <arch>/isa/isa.h.
Tested on: i386, pc98
- Move MD files into <arch>/<arch>.
- Move bus dependent files into <arch>/<bus>.
Rename some files to more suitable names.

of swi. This allows us to use the taskqueue_thread_* functions instead of
rolling our own. It also avoids a double trip through the queue.

Fix if_ndis_pccard.c so that it sets sc->ndis_dobj and sc->ndis_regvals.
Correct IMPORT_SFUNC() macros for the READ_PORT_BUFFER_xxx() routines,
which take 3 arguments, not 2.
This fixes it so that the Windows driver for my Cisco Aironet 340 PCMCIA
card works again. (Yes, I know the an(4) driver supports this card natively,
but it's the only PCMCIA device I have with a Windows XP driver.)
The core console code checks this field when a console is added and
emits a warning if it's empty. In practice the warning is harmless for
uart(4), because the cn_name is filled in as soon as the device name is
known; which is when the device is enumerated.
To avoid the warning, to avoid possible complications caused by emitting
the warning without there (possibly) being a console selected yet and to
avoid complications when the UART isn't found during bus enumeration, we
just preset the cn_name field here to the name of the driver.
Remove unused fields from ndis_miniport_block.
Fix a bug in KeFlushQueuedDpcs() (we weren't calculating the kq pointer
correctly).
In if_ndis.c, clear the IFF_RUNNING flag before calling ndis_halt_nic().
Add some guards in kern_ndis.c to avoid letting anyone invoke ndis_get_info()
or ndis_set_info() if the NIC isn't fully initialized. Apparently, mdnsd
will sometimes try to invoke the ndis_ioctl() routine at exactly the
wrong moment (to futz with its multicast filters) when the interface
comes up, and can trigger a crash unless we guard against it.
- Remove the old task threads from kern_ndis.c and reimplement them in
subr_ntoskrnl.c, in order to more properly emulate the Windows DPC
API. Each CPU gets its own DPC queue/thread, and each queue can
have low, medium and high importance DPCs. New APIs implemented:
KeSetTargetProcessorDpc(), KeSetImportanceDpc() and KeFlushQueuedDpcs().
(This is the biggest change.)
- Fix a bug in NdisMInitializeTimer(): the k_dpc pointer in the
nmt_timer embedded in the ndis_miniport_timer struct must be set
to point to the DPC, also embedded in the struct. Failing to do
this breaks dequeueing of DPCs submitted via timers, and in turn
breaks cancelling timers.
- Fix a bug in KeCancelTimer(): if the timer is interted in the timer
queue (i.e. the timeout callback is still pending), we have to both
untimeout() the timer _and_ call KeRemoveQueueDpc() to nuke the DPC
that might be pending. Failing to do this breaks cancellation of
periodic timers, which always appear to be inserted in the timer queue.
- Make use of the nmt_nexttimer field in ndis_miniport_timer: keep a
queue of pending timers and cancel them all in ndis_halt_nic(), prior
to calling MiniportHalt(). Also call KeFlushQueuedDpcs() to make sure
any DPCs queued by the timers have expired.
- Modify NdisMAllocateSharedMemory() and NdisMFreeSharedMemory() to keep
track of both the virtual and physical addresses of the shared memory
buffers that get handed out. The AirGo MIMO driver appears to have a bug
in it: for one of the segments is allocates, it returns the wrong
virtual address. This would confuse NdisMFreeSharedMemory() and cause
a crash. Why it doesn't crash Windows too I have no idea (from reading
the documentation for NdisMFreeSharedMemory(), it appears to be a violation
of the API).
- Implement strstr(), strchr() and MmIsAddressValid().
- Implement IoAllocateWorkItem(), IoFreeWorkItem(), IoQueueWorkItem() and
ExQueueWorkItem(). (This is the second biggest change.)
- Make NdisScheduleWorkItem() call ExQueueWorkItem(). (Note that the
ExQueueWorkItem() API is deprecated by Microsoft, but NDIS still uses
it, since NdisScheduleWorkItem() is incompatible with the IoXXXWorkItem()
API.)
- Change if_ndis.c to use the NdisScheduleWorkItem() interface for scheduling
tasks.
With all these changes and fixes, the AirGo MIMO driver for the Belkin
F5D8010 Pre-N card now works. Special thanks to Paul Robinson
(paul dawt robinson at pwermedia dawt net) for the loan of a card
for testing.
