When investigating performance on UDP TX on the AR9380 I found that the following sequence was occuring: * INTR * EINPROGRESS - nothing yet * INTR * TXSTATUS - process a TX completion for an aggregate * INTR, INTR * TXSTATUS - process a TX completion for an aggregate * TXD, TXD ... populate frames from the hardware queue and submit What should be happening is a completed TXSTATUS fires off more packets that are queued on active TIDs. What /was/ happening was after that first TXSTATUS the TX queue hardware queue was still empty, so it didn't push anything into the FIFO. Only after the second TXSTATUS did any progress get made. This is one of two commits - it ensures that the software TX queue scheduler is called /after/ TX completion, otherwise no frames from the software staging queues will be processed into the hardware queues. The second commit will fix it so it populates aggregate frames correctly when the above occurs - right now ath_txq_sched() is called, but it doesn't populate anything because its pre-check conditions are wrong. Whilst here, add/tweak debugging. Tested: * AR9380 STA (testing device) -> AR9580 hostap
This is the top level of the FreeBSD source directory. This file was last revised on: $FreeBSD$ For copyright information, please see the file COPYRIGHT in this directory (additional copyright information also exists for some sources in this tree - please see the specific source directories for more information). The Makefile in this directory supports a number of targets for building components (or all) of the FreeBSD source tree. See build(7) and http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/makeworld.html for more information, including setting make(1) variables. The `buildkernel` and `installkernel` targets build and install the kernel and the modules (see below). Please see the top of the Makefile in this directory for more information on the standard build targets and compile-time flags. Building a kernel is a somewhat more involved process. See build(7), config(8), and http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/kernelconfig.html for more information. Note: If you want to build and install the kernel with the `buildkernel` and `installkernel` targets, you might need to build world before. More information is available in the handbook. The kernel configuration files reside in the sys/<arch>/conf sub-directory. GENERIC is the default configuration used in release builds.
