Update the TSF and next-TBTT methods to work for the AR5416 and later NICs. This is another commit in a series of TDMA support fixes for the 11n NICs.
* Move ath_hal_getnexttbtt() into the HAL; write methods for it. This returns a timer value in TSF, rather than TU.
* Move ath_hal_getcca() and ath_hal_setcca() into the HAL too, where they likely now belong.
* Create a new HAL capability: HAL_CAP_LONG_RXDESC_TSF. The pre-11n NICs write 15 bit TSF snapshots into the RX descriptor; the AR5416 and later write 32 bit TSF snapshots into the RX descriptor. * Use the new capability to choose between 15 and 31 bit TSF adjustment functions in ath_extend_tsf().
* Write ar5416GetTsf64() and ar5416SetTsf64() methods. ar5416GetTsf64() tries to compensate for TSF changes at the 32 bit boundary.
According to yin, this fixes the TDMA beaconing on 11n chipsets and TDMA stations can now associate/talk, but there are still issues with traffic stability which need to be investigated.
The ath_hal_extendtsf() function is also used in RX packet timestamping; this may improve adhoc mode on the 11n chipsets. It also will affect the timestamps seen in radiotap frames.

Fix a missing initialisation of bt_flags when setting up the TDMA beacon.
The AR5212 HAL didn't check this field; timers are enabled a different way.
The AR5416 HAL however did, and since this field was uninitialised, it had whatever was on the stack at the time. This lead to "unpredictable" behaviour.
This allows TDMA to work on the AR5416 and later chipsets.

Introduce some more DFS related hooks, inspired both by local work and the Atheros reference code.
The radar detection code needs to know what the current DFS domain is. Since net80211 doesn't currently know this information, it's extracted from the HAL regulatory domain information.
The specifics:
* add a new ath_dfs API hook, ath_dfs_init_radar_filters(), which updates the radar filters whenever the regulatory domain changes. * add HAL_DFS_DOMAIN which describes the currently configured DFS domain . * add a new HAL internal variable which tracks the currently configured HAL DFS domain. * add a new HAL capability, HAL_CAP_DFS_DMN, which returns the currently configured HAL DFS domain setting. * update the HAL DFS domain setting whenever the channel setting is updated.
Since this isn't currently used by any radar code, these should all be no-ops for existing users.

Fix a corner case in RXEOL handling which was likely introduced by yours truly.
Before 802.11n, the RX descriptor list would employ the "self-linked tail descriptor" trick which linked the last descriptor back to itself. This way, the RX engine would never hit the "end" of the list and stop processing RX (and assert RXEOL) as it never hit a descriptor whose next pointer was 0. It would just keep overwriting the last descriptor until the software freed up some more RX descriptors and chained them onto the end.
For 802.11n, this needs to stop as a self-linked RX descriptor tickles the block-ack logic into ACK'ing whatever frames are received into that self-linked descriptor - so in very busy periods, you could end up with A-MPDU traffic that is ACKed but never received by the 802.11 stack. This would cause some confusion as the ADDBA windows would suddenly be out of sync.
So when that occured here, the last descriptor would be hit and the PCU logic would stop. It would only start again when the RX descriptor list was updated and the PCU RX engine was re-tickled. That wasn't being done, so RXEOL would be continuously asserted and no RX would continue.
This patch introduces a new flag - sc->sc_kickpcu - which when set, signals the RX task to kick the PCU after its processed whatever packets it can. This way completed packets aren't discarded.
In case some other task gets called which resets the hardware, don't update sc->sc_imask - instead, just update the hardware interrupt mask directly and let either ath_rx_proc() or ath_reset() restore the imask to its former setting.
Note: this bug was only triggered when doing a whole lot of frame snooping with serial console IO in the RX task. This would defer interrupt processing enough to cause an RX descriptor overflow. It doesn't happen in normal conditions.

Disable the RXORN/RXEOL interrupts if RXEOL occurs, preventing an interrupt storm.
This is easily triggered by flipping on and off tcpdump -y IEEE802_11_RADIO w/ witness enabled. This causes a whole lot of console IO and when you're attached to a serial console (eg on my AR7161 embedded board), the RX interrupt doesn't get called quickly enough and the RX queue fills up.
This wasn't a problem in the past because of the self-linked RX descriptor trick - the RX would never hit the "end" of the RX descriptor list. However this isn't possible for 802.11n (see previous commit history for why.)
Both Linux ath9k and the Atheros reference driver code do this; I'm just looking now for where they then restart the PCU receive. Right now the RX will just stop until the interface is reset.

Implement the 4KB split transaction workaround for Merlin (AR9280).
The AR9280 apparently has an issue with descriptors which straddle a page boundary (4k). I'm not yet sure whether I should use PAGE_SIZE in the calculations or whether I should use 4096; the reference code uses 4096.
This patch fiddles with descriptor allocation so a descriptor entry doesn't straddle a 4kb address boundary. The descriptor memory allocation is made larger to contain extra descriptors and then the descriptor address is advanced to the next 4kb boundary where needed.
I've tested this both on Merlin (AR9280) and non-Merlin (in this case, AR9160.)

Fix a corner case in STA beacon processing when a CSA is received but the AP doesn't transmit beacons.
If the AP requests a CSA (ie, a channel switch) and then enters CAC (channel availability check) for 60 seconds, it doesn't send beacons and it just listens for radar events (and other things which we don't do yet.)
Now, ath_newstate() was not resetting the beacon timer config on a transition to the RUN state when in STA mode - it was setting sc_syncbeacon, which simply updates the beacon config from the contents of the next received beacon.
This means the STA never generates beacon miss events.
If the AP goes into CAC for 60 seconds and recovers, the STA will happily receive the first beacon and reconfigure timers. But if it gets a radar event after that, it'll change channel again, not notify the station that it's changed channel.. and since the station is happily waiting for the first beacon to configure the beacon timer details from, it won't ever generate a beacon miss interrupt and it'll sit there forever (or until the AP appears on that channel once again.)
This change forces the last known beacon timer config to be written to hardware on a transition from CSA->RUN in STA mode. This forces bmiss events to occur and the STA will eventually (after a handful of beacon miss events) begin scanning for another access point.

Fix beacon transmission after a channel set.
The DFS code was tickling the channel set directly whilst going through the state RUN -> CSA -> RUN. This only changed the channel; it didn't go via ath_reset(). However in this driver, a channel change always causes a chip reset, which resets the beacon timer configuration and interrupt setup. This meant that data would go out but as the beacon timers never fired, beacons would never be queued.
The confusing part is that sometimes the state transition was RUN -> SCAN -> CAC -> RUN (with CSA being in there sometimes); going via SCAN would clear sc_beacons and thus the transition to RUN would reprogram beacon transmission.
In case someone tries debugging why suspending a device currently beaconing (versus just RX'ing beacons which is what occurs in STA mode), add a silly comment which should hopefully land them at this commit message. The call to ath_hal_reset() will be clearing the beacon config and it may not be always reset.

Break out most of the HAL related tweaks into a per-HAL instance, rather than global variables.
This specifically allows for debugging to be enabled per-NIC, rather than globally.
Since the ath driver doesn't know about AH_DEBUG, and to keep the ABI consistent regardless of whether AH_DEBUG is enabled or not, enable the debug parameter always but only conditionally compile in the debug methods if needed.
The ALQ support is currently still global pending some brainstorming.

Flesh out the radar detection related operations for the ath driver.
This is in no way a complete DFS/radar detection implementation! It merely creates an abstracted interface which allows for future development of the DFS radar detection code.
Note: Net80211 already handles the bulk of the DFS machinery, all we need to do here is figure out that a radar event has occured and inform it as such. It then drives the DFS state engine for us.
The "null" DFS radar detection module is included by default; it doesn't require a device line.
This commit:
* Adds a simple abstracted layer for radar detection state - sys/dev/ath/ath_dfs/; * Implements a null DFS module which doesn't do anything; (ie, implements the exact behaviour at the moment); * Adds hooks to the ath driver to process received radar events and gives the DFS module a chance to determine whether a radar has been detected.

Fix a corner-case of interrupt handling which resulted in potentially spurious (and fatal) interrupt errors.
One user reported seeing this:
Apr 22 18:04:24 ceres kernel: ar5416GetPendingInterrupts: fatal error, ISR_RAC 0x0 SYNC_CAUSE 0x2000
SYNC_CAUSE of 0x2000 is AR_INTR_SYNC_LOCAL_TIMEOUT which is a bus timeout; this shouldn't cause HAL_INT_FATAL to be set.
After checking out ath9k, ath9k_ar9002_hw_get_isr() clears (*masked) before continuing, regardless of whether any bits in the ISR registers are set. So if AR_INTR_SYNC_CAUSE is set to something that isn't treated as fatal, and AR_ISR isn't read or is read and is 0, then (*masked) wouldn't be cleared. Thus any of the existing bits set that were passed in would be preserved in the output.
The caller in if_ath - ath_intr() - wasn't setting the masked value to 0 before calling ath_hal_getisr(), so anything that was present in that uninitialised variable would be preserved in the case above of AR_ISR=0, AR_INTR_SYNC_CAUSE != 0; and if the HAL_INT_FATAL bit was set, a fatal condition would be interpreted and the chip was reset.
This patch does the following:
* ath_intr() - set masked to 0 before calling ath_hal_getisr(); * ar5416GetPendingInterrupts() - clear (*masked) before processing continues; so if the interrupt source is AR_INTR_SYNC_CAUSE and it isn't fatal, the hardware isn't reset via returning HAL_INT_FATAL.
This doesn't fix any underlying errors which trigger AR_INTR_SYNC_LOCAL_TIMEOUT - which is a bus timeout of some sort - so that likely should be further investigated.

Add a HAL capability bit for supporting self-linked RX descriptors and disable it for the 11n chipsets.
From the ath9k source:
==
11N: we can no longer afford to self link the last descriptor. MAC acknowledges BA status as long as it copies frames to host buffer (or rx fifo). This can incorrectly acknowledge packets to a sender if last desc is self-linked.
==
Since this is useful for pre-AR5416 chips that communicate PHY errors via error frames rather than by on-chip counters, leave the support in there, but disable it for AR5416 and later.

According to ath9k recv.c, one shouldn't be doing self-linked descriptors in the RX path when doing 11n and block-ack'ed frames. Apparently, the MAC will loop over that self-linked descriptor and treat it as "good enough" for (incorrectly!) ACKing the frames in the block-ack.
Until I figure out how to work around this issue in the future, this counter will tell me if packet RX processing ever gets to the point where it's touching the self-linked descriptor. If there's ever enough packets to get to that point, BA's will be invalid and likely very unhappy.

Add in the (very!) optional glue to flip the 11n bits for if_ath.
There's still a lot of random issues to sort out with the radio side of things and AMPDU RX handling (and completely missing AMPDU TX handling!) but if people wish to give this a go and assist in debugging the issues, they can define ATH_DO_11N to enable it.
I'm just re-iterating - this is here to allow people to assist in further 11n development; it is not any indication that the 11n support is complete and functional.
Important notes:
* This doesn't support 1-stream cards yet - (eg AR9285) - the various bits that negotiate TX/RX MCS don't know not to try >1 stream TX or negotiate 1-stream RX; so don't enable 11n unless you've first taught the rate control module and the net80211 stack to negotiate 1-stream stuff;
* The only rate control module minimally 11n aware is ath_rate_sample;
* ath_rate_sample doesn't know about HT/40; so airtime will be incorrectly calculated;
* The AR9160 and AR9280 radio code is unreliable at the higher MCS rates for some reason; this will definitely impact 11n performance;
* AMPDU-TX isn't yet implemented;
* AMPDU-RX may be a bit buggy still and will definitely suffer from the radio unreliability mentioned above (ie, don't expect 150/300mbit RX just yet.)

Fix the keycache behaviour for multicast keycache search.
The correct bit to set is 0x1 in the high MAC address byte, not 0x80. The hardware isn't programmed with that bit (which is the multicast adress bit.)
The linux ath9k keycache code uses that bit in the MAC as a "this is a multicast key!" and doesn't set the AR_KEYTABLE_VALID bit. This tells the hardware the MAC isn't to be used for unicast destination matching but it can be used for multicast bssid traffic.
This fixes some encryption problems in station mode.

Just tag all RX packets as needing reorder processing for now.
This fixes two problems -
* All packets need to be processed here, not just aggregate ones - as any received frames (AMPDU or otherwise) in the given TID (traffic class id) will update the sequence number and, implied with that, update the window; * It seems there's situations where packets aren't matching a current node but somehow need to be tracked. Thus just tag them all for now; I'll figure out the why later.
Whilst I'm here, bump the stats counters whilst I'm at it.
This fixes AMPDU RX in my tests; the main problems now stem from what look like PHY level error/retransmits which are impeding general throughput, incl. AMPDU.

Disable the code I previously added from Rui's 802.11n branch.
A-MPDU RX interferes with packet retransmission/reordering. In local testing, I was seeing A-MPDU being negotiated and then not used by the AP sending frames to the STA; the STA would then treat non A-MPDU frames that are retransmits as out of the window and get plain confused.
The hardware RX status descriptor has a "I'm part of an aggregate" bit; so this should eventually be tested and then punted to the A-MPDU reorder handling only if it has this bit set.

The rxmonitor hook is called on each received packet. This can get very, very busy as the tx/rx/chanbusy registers are thus read each time a packet is received.
Instead, shuffle out the true per-packet processing which is needed and move the rest of the ANI processing into a periodic event which runs every 100ms by default.

Include the initial support for external EEPROMs.
The AR9100 at least doesn't have an external serial EEPROM attached to the MAC; it instead stores the calibration data in the normal system flash.
I believe earlier parts can do something similar but I haven't experienced it first-hand.
This commit introduces an eepromdata pointer into the API but doesn't at all commit to using it. A future commit will include the glue needed to allow the AR9100 support code to use this data pointer as the EEPROM.

Break out the diagnostic codes from ah_internal.h and place them in ah_diagcodes.h.
Since we now have the source code, there's no reason to hide the diag codes from other areas.
They live in the HAL as they form part of the HAL API and should still be treate as "potentially flexible; don't publish as a public API." But since they're already used as a public API (see follow-up commit), we may as well use them in place of magic constants.

Don't delay updating the longcal timer - instead, update the longcal flag immediately so it's only set once per longcal interval.
Without this, the current AR5416 code will continuously spam NF calibrations during a periodic calibration if the longcal flag is set. The longcal flag wouldn't be cleared until the calibration method indicates that calibrations are "complete".
This drops the rate of NF calibration updates down from "once every shortcal" (ie, every 100ms) during a periodic calibration, to only once per "longcal" interval. Spamming NF calibrations every 100ms caused some potentially horrific issues in noisy environments as NF calibrations can take longer than 100ms and this spamming can cause invalid NF calibration results to be read back - leading to missed beacons, and thus leading to a stuck beacon situation.
Stuck beacons cause interface resets, which restart calibrations. This means that the longcal calibration runs every 100ms (shortcal) until all initial calibrations are completed. This spamming can then cause the above issues which leads to stuck beacons, leading to interface resets, etc, etc. Quite annoying.

Add WPA-None support: * WPA-None requires ap_scan=2: The major difference between ap_scan=1 (default) and 2 is, that no IEEE80211_IOC_SCAN* ioctls/functions are called, though, there is a dependency on those. For example the call to wpa_driver_bsd_scan() sets the interface UP, this never happens, therefore the interface must be marked up in wpa_driver_bsd_associate(). IEEE80211_IOC_SSID also is not called, which means that the SSID has not been set prior to the IEEE80211_MLME_ASSOC call. * WPA-None has no support for sequence number updates, it doesn't make sense to check for replay violations.. * I had some crashes right after the switch to RUN state, issue is that sc->sc_lastrs was not yet defined.

Implementation of the upcoming Wireless Mesh standard, 802.11s, on the net80211 wireless stack. This work is based on the March 2009 D3.0 draft standard. This standard is expected to become final next year. This includes two main net80211 modules, ieee80211_mesh.c which deals with peer link management, link metric calculation, routing table control and mesh configuration and ieee80211_hwmp.c which deals with the actually routing process on the mesh network. HWMP is the mandatory routing protocol on by the mesh standard, but others, such as RA-OLSR, can be implemented.
Authentication and encryption are not implemented.
There are several scripts under tools/tools/net80211/scripts that can be used to test different mesh network topologies and they also teach you how to setup a mesh vap (for the impatient: ifconfig wlan0 create wlandev ... wlanmode mesh).
A new build option is available: IEEE80211_SUPPORT_MESH and it's enabled by default on GENERIC kernels for i386, amd64, sparc64 and pc98.
Drivers that support mesh networks right now are: ath, ral and mwl.
More information at: http://wiki.freebsd.org/WifiMesh
Please note that this work is experimental. Also, please note that bridging a mesh vap with another network interface is not yet supported.
Many thanks to the FreeBSD Foundation for sponsoring this project and to Sam Leffler for his support. Also, I would like to thank Gateworks Corporation for sending me a Cambria board which was used during the development of this project.

Use if_maddr_rlock()/if_maddr_runlock() rather than IF_ADDR_LOCK()/ IF_ADDR_UNLOCK() across network device drivers when accessing the per-interface multicast address list, if_multiaddrs. This will allow us to change the locking strategy without affecting our driver programming interface or binary interface.
For two wireless drivers, remove unnecessary locking, since they don't actually access the multicast address list.

New periodic calibration scheme needed for 11n parts that have multiple algorithms and potentially collect multiple samples. Instead of a single calibration interval we now have short and long intervals; the long interval roughly corresponds to the previous single interval. The short interval is used to speedup collection of samples and happens much quicker. We make calls using the short interval until we're told the calibration work is complete at which point we fallback to the long interval. In addition there is a much longer reset interval used to flush all calibration state and cause everthing to start anew.
With these changes you can also disable calibration entirely by setting the long interval to zero.

Fix checks for fast frames negotiation. ni_ath_flags holds the capabilities reported by the ap. These need to be cross-checked against the local configuration in the vap. Previously we were only checking the ap capabilities which meant that if an ap reported it was ff-capable but we were not setup to use them we'd try to do ff aggregation and drop the frame.
There are a number of problems to be fixed here but applying this fix immediately as the problem causes all traffic to stop (and has not workaround).

This has several benefits including simplification of the led code. o fix radiotap capture of HT rates o fix conditional compilation of HT radiotap support to be based on the hal having 5416 support; not the ABI version as hal builds may or may not include 5416 support

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.

add missed calls to bpf_peers_present
|
#

csjp |
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.

While here eliminate an extraneous check; ieee80211_beacon_update sets the tim bit based on ncabq != 0 so there's no reason to check it too.

Phantom beacon miss workaround: track the tsf of the last received frame and if we get a beacon miss interrupt ignore it if we've received a frame within the beacon miss interval. This should never trigger and the handling at the net80211 layer should likewise deal with this but it doesn't hurt and can suppress extranous probe request frames. Note that we can legtimately get a bmiss when under heavy load.

Propagate rename of IFF_OACTIVE and IFF_RUNNING to IFF_DRV_OACTIVE and IFF_DRV_RUNNING, as well as the move from ifnet.if_flags to ifnet.if_drv_flags. Device drivers are now responsible for synchronizing access to these flags, as they are in if_drv_flags. This helps prevent races between the network stack and device driver in maintaining the interface flags field.

Split crypto tx+rx key indices and add a key index -> node mapping table:
Crypto changes: o change driver/net80211 key_alloc api to return tx+rx key indices; a driver can leave the rx key index set to IEEE80211_KEYIX_NONE or set it to be the same as the tx key index (the former disables use of the key index in building the keyix->node mapping table and is the default setup for naive drivers by null_key_alloc) o add cs_max_keyid to crypto state to specify the max h/w key index a driver will return; this is used to allocate the key index mapping table and to bounds check table loookups o while here introduce ieee80211_keyix (finally) for the type of a h/w key index o change crypto notifiers for rx failures to pass the rx key index up as appropriate (michael failure, replay, etc.)
Node table changes: o optionally allocate a h/w key index to node mapping table for the station table using the max key index setting supplied by drivers (note the scan table does not get a map) o defer node table allocation to lateattach so the driver has a chance to set the max key id to size the key index map o while here also defer the aid bitmap allocation o add new ieee80211_find_rxnode_withkey api to find a sta/node entry on frame receive with an optional h/w key index to use in checking mapping table; also updates the map if it does a hash lookup and the found node has a rx key index set in the unicast key; note this work is separated from the old ieee80211_find_rxnode call so drivers do not need to be aware of the new mechanism o move some node table manipulation under the node table lock to close a race on node delete o add ieee80211_node_delucastkey to do the dirty work of deleting unicast key state for a node (deletes any key and handles key map references)
Ath driver: o nuke private sc_keyixmap mechansim in favor of net80211 support o update key alloc api
These changes close several race conditions for the ath driver operating in ap mode. Other drivers should see no change. Station mode operation for ath no longer uses the key index map but performance tests show no noticeable change and this will be fixed when the scan table is eliminated with the new scanning support.

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.

o eliminate widespread on-stack mbuf use for bpf by introducing a new bpf_mtap2 routine that does the right thing for an mbuf and a variable-length chunk of data that should be prepended. o while we're sweeping the drivers, use u_int32_t uniformly when when prepending the address family (several places were assuming sizeof(int) was 4) o return M_ASSERTVALID to BPF_MTAP* now that all stack-allocated mbufs have been eliminated; this may better be moved to the bpf routines

o track API change for HAL v0.9.6.1 o fix race condition when processing rx descriptors: because we use a self-linked descriptor at the end of the rx descriptor list to avoid rx overruns (which can easily happen for 5212 parts that enable PHY errors) we must carefully check that a descriptor is "done" by looking ahead to the next descriptor before believing the done bit in the current descriptor (this is all handled in the HAL since the rx descriptor format is chip-specific so we need to pass in two additional parameters--the physical address of the current descriptor and the virtual address of the next descriptor in the list) o check copyout return status for SIOCGATHSTATS ioctl

Don't count PHY errors as input errors. This is important for 5212-based devices because PHY errors are used to collect data on environmental noise that and doesn't truly reflect the state of the communications media. The result is confused users. Folks that want to watch PHY errors can still get the statistics through the device ioctl (used by athstats).

Replace the if_name and if_unit members of struct ifnet with new members if_xname, if_dname, and if_dunit. if_xname is the name of the interface and if_dname/unit are the driver name and instance.
This change paves the way for interface renaming and enhanced pseudo device creation and configuration symantics.

Maintain a history of data associated with received frames and use this to calculate smoothed signal quality data for each node.
o add a 16-deep history buffer to each driver-private node storage that holds rssi and antenna info for received frames o override the default per-node "get rssi" method to return an average rssi value based on samples collected over the last second o enable beacon reception so even idle systems maintain a running history of signal quality
This data may also be useful for improving the rate control algorithm. Based on work by Tom Marshall <tommy@home.tig-grr.com> for MADWIFI.

MFp4 changes to fix locking issues and correct reference count handling of station entries in hostap mode:
Input path:
o driver is now expected to find the node associated with the sender of a received frame; use ic_bss if none is located o driver passes the (referenced) node into ieee80211_input for use within the wlan module and is responsible for cleaning up on return o the antenna state is no longer passed up with each frame; this is now considered driver-private state and drivers are responsible for keeping it in the driver-private part of a node
Output path:
Revamp output path for management frames to eliminate redundant locking that causes problems and to correct reference counting bogosity that occurs when stations are timed out due to inactivity (in AP mode). On output the refcnt'd node is stashed in the pkthdr's recvif field (yech) and retrieved by the driver. This eliminates an unref/ref scenario and related node table unlock/lock due to the driver looking up the node. This is particularly important when stations are timed out as this causes a lock order reversal that can result in a deadlock. As a byproduct we also reduce the overhead for sending management frames (minimal). Additional fallout from this is a change to ieee80211_encap to return a refcn't node for tieing to the outbound frame. Node refcnts are not reclaimed until after a frame is completely processed (e.g. in the tx interrupt handler). This is especially important for timed out stations as this deref will be the final one causing the node entry to be reclaimed.
Additional semi-related changes: o replace m_copym use with m_copypacket (optimization) o add assert to verify ic_bss is never free'd during normal operation o add comments explaining calling conventions by drivers for frames going in each direction o remove extraneous code that "cannot be executed" (e.g. because pointers may never be null)

o pass control frames up the stack when in monitor mode (the 802.11 layer will quietly discard them; this just permits them to be collected with bpf) o add a counter for the number of rate control frames discarded when not in monitor mode o move the rx "too short" statistic in the stat structure so non-error rx stats are together (NB: ABI change to apps that collect stats via driver ioctl)
