Several changes:

* Make the code more readable.

* Add a panic in ieee80211_compute_duration(). I'm not sure there's
a bug here - I don't have the hardware -, but looking at the code, it
may be possible for 'paylen' to go negative. Obviously that's not the
correct way to fix it, but at least we'll see if it happens.


# 1.60 18-Jan-2018 maxv

Several changes:

* Make the code more readable. In particular, declare variables as const
along the way.

* Explain what we're doing in ieee80211_send_mgmt(). The
IEEE80211_FC0_SUBTYPE_PROBE_RESP case has some inconsistencies, but
they are not inherently wrong so I'm not changing that.

* When sending IEEE80211_FC0_SUBTYPE_REASSOC_RESP frames, make sure to
zero out the 'association ID', otherwise two bytes are leaked.

* Fix a possible memory leak in ieee80211_send_probereq().

Redefine bpf linkage through an always present op vector, i.e.
#if NBPFILTER is no longer required in the client. This change
doesn't yet add support for loading bpf as a module, since drivers
can register before bpf is attached. However, callers of bpf can
now be modularized.

Dynamically loadable bpf could probably be done fairly easily with
coordination from the stub driver and the real driver by registering
attachments in the stub before the real driver is loaded and doing
a handoff. ... and I'm not going to ponder the depths of unload
here.

Tested with i386/MONOLITHIC, modified MONOLITHIC without bpf and rump.

Clarify/fix handling of the current channel:
o add ic_curchan and use it uniformly for specifying the current

drivers ic_ibss_chan)
o add ieee80211_scanparams structure to encapsulate scanning-related
state captured for rx frames
o move rx beacon+probe response frame handling into separate routines
o change beacon+probe response handling to treat the scan table
more like a scan cache--look for an existing entry before adding
a new one; this combined with ic_curchan use corrects handling of
stations that were previously found at a different channel

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.

Many __FreeBSD__ and __FreeBSD_version checks maintained and continued;
some less so.

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.

o bounds check the beacon interval received in probe response and
beacon frames and drop frames with bogus settings; not clear
if we should instead clamp the value as any alteration would
result in mismatched sta+ap configuration and probably be more
confusing (don't want to log to the console but perhaps ok with
rate limiting)

Fix handling of frames sent prior to a station being authorized
when operating in ap mode. Previously we allocated a node from the
station table, sent the frame (using the node), then released the
reference that "held the frame in the table". But while the frame
was in flight the node might be reclaimed which could lead to
problems. The solution is to add an ieee80211_tmp_node routine
that crafts a node that does exist in a table and so isn't ever
reclaimed; it exists only so long as the associated frame is in flight.

In ieee80211_mbuf_adjust, cope with read-only mbufs: make the

rtw: Try to get hardware WEP to work. It seems to work in

net80211 crypto framework doesn't seem to cope very well
with the assymetry (I'm probably missing something), so
I will use software WEP for now.

net80211: In ieee80211_compute_duration, figure out whether to add
the WEP header to the packet overhead by checking the
WEP bit in the Frame Control field of the 802.11 header,
instead of checking the IEEE80211_F_PRIVACY flag.

Also, if the WEP bit is present, assume that the frame
described by (wh, len) has already already been WEP
encapsulated, and adjust the payload length accordingly.

802.11 Control/multicast/broadcast packets are not acknowledged.
Set a shorter 802.11 Duration field, accordingly.

XXX We expect CTS/ACK at 1 Mb/s for 1 & 2 Mb/s stations; and CTS/ACK
at 2 Mb/s for 5.5 & 11 Mb/s stations. We need to check with the
802.11 standard. Rate negotiation may need to be overhauld for
standards compliance, too.


# 1.22 27-Dec-2004 mycroft

Simplify the duration calculations somewhat.
* Add an intermediate variable, ctsrate, which is currently derived directly
from rate, but may be handled differently later (especially for 11g).
* Assume ACKs are sent at the same rate as the original data packet, as ath
does, shortening the ACK reservation time substantially.
* Add a note that we need to deal with not adding the ACK time for some
packets, though this is not implemented yet.

Questions:
* How do we affect the control rate used to send RTS/CTS packets?
* Is the PLCP header length actually controlled by the preamble length
selection, or should this be based on the transmit rate?

Of course short preamble is not actually implemented/working yet.


# 1.21 27-Dec-2004 mycroft

Update a comment.


# 1.20 27-Dec-2004 mycroft

Replace d_plcp_svc with d_residue. The latter is the number of whole
empty/unused octets to fill out the data time slot. The value is constrained
by math to 0 for <= 5.5Mb, 0-1 for 11Mb, and 0-2 for 22Mb. It is used to
signal to the MAC that there is residue.


# 1.19 23-Dec-2004 dyoung

Fix a bug in ieee80211_compute_duration: the 802.11 Duration field
in an 802.11 unicast data packet is equal to the duration of the
SIFS and Acknowledgement. That is, the amount of time reserved
*after* the packet has finished transmitting.

Change the arguments to ieee80211_compute_duration: pass the entire
packet length, not just the payload length. Add a 'debug' argument
to ieee80211_compute_duration and its helper subroutine,
ieee80211_compute_duration1.

If debug != 0, ieee80211_compute_duration printfs its arguments
and several local variables.

In rtw(4), load the 802.11 Duration field with the result from
ieee80211_compute_duration.


# 1.18 19-Dec-2004 dyoung

Define for more bits in the Service field of the 802.11 PLCP Header.

For use by the subroutine ieee80211_compute_duration, add struct
ieee80211_duration, and #define a number of microsecond constants
used for the transmit timing of 802.11 packets.

Add the subroutine ieee80211_compute_duration, which computes for
any packet the appropriate 802.11 Duration field, the PLCP Length
field, as well as the Duration and Length fields for an RTS frame.

atw(4), rtw(4), future drivers, and possibly ath(4) will share
ieee80211_compute_duration.

Make the node table into an LRU cache: least-recently used nodes
are at the end of the node queue. Change the reference-counting
discipline: ni->ni_refcnt indicates how many times net80211 has
granted ni to the driver. Every node in the table with ni_refcnt=0
is eligible to be garbage-collected. The mere presence of a node
in the table does not any longer indicate its auth/assoc state;
nodes have a ni_state variable, now. A sysctl,
net.link.ieee80211.maxnodecache, controls the maximum LRU cache
size.

While I am here, patch ieee80211_find_node_for_beacon to do a "best
match" by bssid/ssid/channel, not a "perfect match." This keeps
net80211 from caching duplicate nodes in the table.

On the output path, save a power-saving station's ieee80211_node

# 1.8 29-Oct-2003 dyoung

Add ieee80211_find_rxnode and its helper ieee80211_needs_rxnode.
802.11 drivers will use ieee80211_find_rxnode to match each received
packet with the ieee80211_node belonging to the sender. The driver
will use the ieee80211_node to track the sender's RSSI and other
statistics for, e.g., rate adaptation.

ieee80211_find_rxnode "fakes-up" missing ieee80211_nodes in IBSS
mode and in ad-hoc demo mode when it is appropriate. See the comments
in the source.

Also add ieee80211_find_txnode, which looks up the ieee80211_node
belonging to a MAC destination. ieee80211_find_txnode will also
fake-up missing nodes in IBSS/ad-hoc demo mode.

In ieee80211_encap, use ieee80211_find_txnode. This fixes the bug
in ad hoc packet-transmission reported by Greg Troxel, Urban Boquist,

An important and non-obvious change is in ieee80211_mgmt_output,

#ifdef __FreeBSD__

Because NetBSD mbufs are not bzero'd like FreeBSD's, we cannot

if_printf, for example.

* Convert FreeBSD node mutex uses to generic node critical-section

Redefine bpf linkage through an always present op vector, i.e.
#if NBPFILTER is no longer required in the client. This change
doesn't yet add support for loading bpf as a module, since drivers
can register before bpf is attached. However, callers of bpf can
now be modularized.

Dynamically loadable bpf could probably be done fairly easily with
coordination from the stub driver and the real driver by registering
attachments in the stub before the real driver is loaded and doing
a handoff. ... and I'm not going to ponder the depths of unload

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.

Fix handling of frames sent prior to a station being authorized
when operating in ap mode. Previously we allocated a node from the
station table, sent the frame (using the node), then released the
reference that "held the frame in the table". But while the frame
was in flight the node might be reclaimed which could lead to
problems. The solution is to add an ieee80211_tmp_node routine
that crafts a node that does exist in a table and so isn't ever
reclaimed; it exists only so long as the associated frame is in flight.

Simplify the duration calculations somewhat.
* Add an intermediate variable, ctsrate, which is currently derived directly

* Assume ACKs are sent at the same rate as the original data packet, as ath
does, shortening the ACK reservation time substantially.
* Add a note that we need to deal with not adding the ACK time for some
packets, though this is not implemented yet.

Questions:
* How do we affect the control rate used to send RTS/CTS packets?
* Is the PLCP header length actually controlled by the preamble length
selection, or should this be based on the transmit rate?

Make the node table into an LRU cache: least-recently used nodes

size.

# 1.11 13-Jan-2004 dyoung

NetBSD's KASSERT takes just one argument while FreeBSD's takes two,
so I have added IASSERT(cond, complaint) to the compatibility header
file and s/KASSERT/IASSERT/'d.


# 1.10 14-Dec-2003 dyoung

Synchronize with FreeBSD sources from 12 Dec 2003.


# 1.9 02-Nov-2003 dyoung

On the output path, save a power-saving station's ieee80211_node
in the mbuf's rcvif field so that the driver can get at it.


# 1.8 29-Oct-2003 dyoung

Add ieee80211_find_rxnode and its helper ieee80211_needs_rxnode.
802.11 drivers will use ieee80211_find_rxnode to match each received
packet with the ieee80211_node belonging to the sender. The driver
will use the ieee80211_node to track the sender's RSSI and other
statistics for, e.g., rate adaptation.

ieee80211_find_rxnode "fakes-up" missing ieee80211_nodes in IBSS
mode and in ad-hoc demo mode when it is appropriate. See the comments
in the source.

Also add ieee80211_find_txnode, which looks up the ieee80211_node
belonging to a MAC destination. ieee80211_find_txnode will also
fake-up missing nodes in IBSS/ad-hoc demo mode.

In ieee80211_encap, use ieee80211_find_txnode. This fixes the bug
in ad hoc packet-transmission reported by Greg Troxel, Urban Boquist,
and Kurt Schreiner.


# 1.7 15-Oct-2003 dyoung

Add WEP shared-key authentication.


# 1.6 13-Oct-2003 dyoung

Even more changes to the new 802.11 layer:

* Add Kevin Lahey's power-saving support from the old 802.11 layer
* Add a FHPARMS or DSPARMS info element to probe responses and beacons
as appropriate.


# 1.5 28-Sep-2003 dyoung

More NetBSD-FreeBSD compatibility changes in the pattern

#ifdef __FreeBSD__
/* FreeBSDism */
#else
/* NetBSDism */
#endif

An important and non-obvious change is in ieee80211_mgmt_output,

#ifdef __FreeBSD__
KASSERT(m->m_pkthdr.rcvif == NULL, ("rcvif not null"));
#endif

Because NetBSD mbufs are not bzero'd like FreeBSD's, we cannot
count on rcvif == NULL.


# 1.4 14-Sep-2003 dyoung

Insert RCSIDs.


# 1.3 07-Sep-2003 dyoung

Complete merge.


# 1.2 07-Sep-2003 dyoung

First stab at producing a unified NetBSD/FreeBSD 802.11 layer,
striving to keep the diffs short and simple.

* Replace FreeBSDisms (e.g. struct arpcom) with conditionally-compiled
NetBSDism (struct ethercom).

* Add compatibility shims in ieee80211_compat.*: provide NetBSD with
if_printf, for example.

* Convert FreeBSD node mutex uses to generic node critical-section
protection (ieee80211_node_critsect_begin, _end), replace
FreeBSD atomic arithmetic with generic alternative, and implement
generics in NetBSD

* Provide NetBSD-style 802.11 ioctls

* Style nits

Redefine bpf linkage through an always present op vector, i.e.
#if NBPFILTER is no longer required in the client. This change
doesn't yet add support for loading bpf as a module, since drivers
can register before bpf is attached. However, callers of bpf can
now be modularized.

Dynamically loadable bpf could probably be done fairly easily with
coordination from the stub driver and the real driver by registering
attachments in the stub before the real driver is loaded and doing
a handoff. ... and I'm not going to ponder the depths of unload
here.

Tested with i386/MONOLITHIC, modified MONOLITHIC without bpf and rump.

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.

reference that "held the frame in the table". But while the frame
was in flight the node might be reclaimed which could lead to
problems. The solution is to add an ieee80211_tmp_node routine
that crafts a node that does exist in a table and so isn't ever
reclaimed; it exists only so long as the associated frame is in flight.

I will use software WEP for now.

net80211: In ieee80211_compute_duration, figure out whether to add
the WEP header to the packet overhead by checking the
WEP bit in the Frame Control field of the 802.11 header,
instead of checking the IEEE80211_F_PRIVACY flag.

802.11 Control/multicast/broadcast packets are not acknowledged.
Set a shorter 802.11 Duration field, accordingly.

XXX We expect CTS/ACK at 1 Mb/s for 1 & 2 Mb/s stations; and CTS/ACK
at 2 Mb/s for 5.5 & 11 Mb/s stations. We need to check with the
802.11 standard. Rate negotiation may need to be overhauld for
standards compliance, too.


# 1.22 27-Dec-2004 mycroft

Simplify the duration calculations somewhat.
* Add an intermediate variable, ctsrate, which is currently derived directly
from rate, but may be handled differently later (especially for 11g).
* Assume ACKs are sent at the same rate as the original data packet, as ath
does, shortening the ACK reservation time substantially.
* Add a note that we need to deal with not adding the ACK time for some
packets, though this is not implemented yet.

Questions:
* How do we affect the control rate used to send RTS/CTS packets?
* Is the PLCP header length actually controlled by the preamble length
selection, or should this be based on the transmit rate?

Of course short preamble is not actually implemented/working yet.


# 1.21 27-Dec-2004 mycroft

Update a comment.


# 1.20 27-Dec-2004 mycroft

Replace d_plcp_svc with d_residue. The latter is the number of whole
empty/unused octets to fill out the data time slot. The value is constrained
by math to 0 for <= 5.5Mb, 0-1 for 11Mb, and 0-2 for 22Mb. It is used to
signal to the MAC that there is residue.


# 1.19 23-Dec-2004 dyoung

Fix a bug in ieee80211_compute_duration: the 802.11 Duration field
in an 802.11 unicast data packet is equal to the duration of the
SIFS and Acknowledgement. That is, the amount of time reserved
*after* the packet has finished transmitting.

Change the arguments to ieee80211_compute_duration: pass the entire
packet length, not just the payload length. Add a 'debug' argument
to ieee80211_compute_duration and its helper subroutine,
ieee80211_compute_duration1.

If debug != 0, ieee80211_compute_duration printfs its arguments
and several local variables.

In rtw(4), load the 802.11 Duration field with the result from
ieee80211_compute_duration.


# 1.18 19-Dec-2004 dyoung

Define for more bits in the Service field of the 802.11 PLCP Header.

For use by the subroutine ieee80211_compute_duration, add struct
ieee80211_duration, and #define a number of microsecond constants
used for the transmit timing of 802.11 packets.

Add the subroutine ieee80211_compute_duration, which computes for
any packet the appropriate 802.11 Duration field, the PLCP Length
field, as well as the Duration and Length fields for an RTS frame.

atw(4), rtw(4), future drivers, and possibly ath(4) will share
ieee80211_compute_duration.

Make the node table into an LRU cache: least-recently used nodes
are at the end of the node queue. Change the reference-counting
discipline: ni->ni_refcnt indicates how many times net80211 has
granted ni to the driver. Every node in the table with ni_refcnt=0
is eligible to be garbage-collected. The mere presence of a node
in the table does not any longer indicate its auth/assoc state;
nodes have a ni_state variable, now. A sysctl,
net.link.ieee80211.maxnodecache, controls the maximum LRU cache
size.

While I am here, patch ieee80211_find_node_for_beacon to do a "best
match" by bssid/ssid/channel, not a "perfect match." This keeps
net80211 from caching duplicate nodes in the table.

# 1.8 29-Oct-2003 dyoung

Add ieee80211_find_rxnode and its helper ieee80211_needs_rxnode.
802.11 drivers will use ieee80211_find_rxnode to match each received
packet with the ieee80211_node belonging to the sender. The driver
will use the ieee80211_node to track the sender's RSSI and other
statistics for, e.g., rate adaptation.

ieee80211_find_rxnode "fakes-up" missing ieee80211_nodes in IBSS
mode and in ad-hoc demo mode when it is appropriate. See the comments
in the source.

Also add ieee80211_find_txnode, which looks up the ieee80211_node
belonging to a MAC destination. ieee80211_find_txnode will also
fake-up missing nodes in IBSS/ad-hoc demo mode.

In ieee80211_encap, use ieee80211_find_txnode. This fixes the bug
in ad hoc packet-transmission reported by Greg Troxel, Urban Boquist,

An important and non-obvious change is in ieee80211_mgmt_output,

#ifdef __FreeBSD__

Redefine bpf linkage through an always present op vector, i.e.
#if NBPFILTER is no longer required in the client. This change
doesn't yet add support for loading bpf as a module, since drivers
can register before bpf is attached. However, callers of bpf can
now be modularized.

Dynamically loadable bpf could probably be done fairly easily with
coordination from the stub driver and the real driver by registering
attachments in the stub before the real driver is loaded and doing
a handoff. ... and I'm not going to ponder the depths of unload
here.

Tested with i386/MONOLITHIC, modified MONOLITHIC without bpf and rump.

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.

Fix handling of frames sent prior to a station being authorized
when operating in ap mode. Previously we allocated a node from the
station table, sent the frame (using the node), then released the
reference that "held the frame in the table". But while the frame
was in flight the node might be reclaimed which could lead to
problems. The solution is to add an ieee80211_tmp_node routine
that crafts a node that does exist in a table and so isn't ever
reclaimed; it exists only so long as the associated frame is in flight.

* Add a note that we need to deal with not adding the ACK time for some
packets, though this is not implemented yet.

Questions:
* How do we affect the control rate used to send RTS/CTS packets?
* Is the PLCP header length actually controlled by the preamble length
selection, or should this be based on the transmit rate?

Add the subroutine ieee80211_compute_duration, which computes for
any packet the appropriate 802.11 Duration field, the PLCP Length
field, as well as the Duration and Length fields for an RTS frame.

atw(4), rtw(4), future drivers, and possibly ath(4) will share
ieee80211_compute_duration.

# 1.17 10-Aug-2004 dyoung

Make the node table into an LRU cache: least-recently used nodes
are at the end of the node queue. Change the reference-counting
discipline: ni->ni_refcnt indicates how many times net80211 has
granted ni to the driver. Every node in the table with ni_refcnt=0
is eligible to be garbage-collected. The mere presence of a node
in the table does not any longer indicate its auth/assoc state;
nodes have a ni_state variable, now. A sysctl,
net.link.ieee80211.maxnodecache, controls the maximum LRU cache
size.

While I am here, patch ieee80211_find_node_for_beacon to do a "best
match" by bssid/ssid/channel, not a "perfect match." This keeps
net80211 from caching duplicate nodes in the table.

# 1.11 13-Jan-2004 dyoung

NetBSD's KASSERT takes just one argument while FreeBSD's takes two,

file and s/KASSERT/IASSERT/'d.


# 1.10 14-Dec-2003 dyoung

# 1.9 02-Nov-2003 dyoung

On the output path, save a power-saving station's ieee80211_node
in the mbuf's rcvif field so that the driver can get at it.


# 1.8 29-Oct-2003 dyoung

Add ieee80211_find_rxnode and its helper ieee80211_needs_rxnode.
802.11 drivers will use ieee80211_find_rxnode to match each received
packet with the ieee80211_node belonging to the sender. The driver
will use the ieee80211_node to track the sender's RSSI and other
statistics for, e.g., rate adaptation.

ieee80211_find_rxnode "fakes-up" missing ieee80211_nodes in IBSS
mode and in ad-hoc demo mode when it is appropriate. See the comments
in the source.

Also add ieee80211_find_txnode, which looks up the ieee80211_node
belonging to a MAC destination. ieee80211_find_txnode will also
fake-up missing nodes in IBSS/ad-hoc demo mode.

In ieee80211_encap, use ieee80211_find_txnode. This fixes the bug
in ad hoc packet-transmission reported by Greg Troxel, Urban Boquist,
and Kurt Schreiner.

# 1.5 28-Sep-2003 dyoung

More NetBSD-FreeBSD compatibility changes in the pattern

#ifdef __FreeBSD__
KASSERT(m->m_pkthdr.rcvif == NULL, ("rcvif not null"));
#endif

Because NetBSD mbufs are not bzero'd like FreeBSD's, we cannot
count on rcvif == NULL.

* Add compatibility shims in ieee80211_compat.*: provide NetBSD with
if_printf, for example.

* Convert FreeBSD node mutex uses to generic node critical-section
protection (ieee80211_node_critsect_begin, _end), replace
FreeBSD atomic arithmetic with generic alternative, and implement

they are not inherently wrong so I'm not changing that.

* When sending IEEE80211_FC0_SUBTYPE_REASSOC_RESP frames, make sure to
zero out the 'association ID', otherwise two bytes are leaked.

* Fix a possible memory leak in ieee80211_send_probereq().

Redefine bpf linkage through an always present op vector, i.e.
#if NBPFILTER is no longer required in the client. This change
doesn't yet add support for loading bpf as a module, since drivers
can register before bpf is attached. However, callers of bpf can
now be modularized.

Dynamically loadable bpf could probably be done fairly easily with
coordination from the stub driver and the real driver by registering
attachments in the stub before the real driver is loaded and doing
a handoff. ... and I'm not going to ponder the depths of unload
here.

Tested with i386/MONOLITHIC, modified MONOLITHIC without bpf and rump.

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.

Fix handling of frames sent prior to a station being authorized
when operating in ap mode. Previously we allocated a node from the
station table, sent the frame (using the node), then released the
reference that "held the frame in the table". But while the frame
was in flight the node might be reclaimed which could lead to
problems. The solution is to add an ieee80211_tmp_node routine
that crafts a node that does exist in a table and so isn't ever
reclaimed; it exists only so long as the associated frame is in flight.

I will use software WEP for now.

net80211: In ieee80211_compute_duration, figure out whether to add
the WEP header to the packet overhead by checking the
WEP bit in the Frame Control field of the 802.11 header,
instead of checking the IEEE80211_F_PRIVACY flag.

Also, if the WEP bit is present, assume that the frame
described by (wh, len) has already already been WEP
encapsulated, and adjust the payload length accordingly.

802.11 Control/multicast/broadcast packets are not acknowledged.
Set a shorter 802.11 Duration field, accordingly.

XXX We expect CTS/ACK at 1 Mb/s for 1 & 2 Mb/s stations; and CTS/ACK
at 2 Mb/s for 5.5 & 11 Mb/s stations. We need to check with the
802.11 standard. Rate negotiation may need to be overhauld for
standards compliance, too.


# 1.22 27-Dec-2004 mycroft

Simplify the duration calculations somewhat.
* Add an intermediate variable, ctsrate, which is currently derived directly
from rate, but may be handled differently later (especially for 11g).
* Assume ACKs are sent at the same rate as the original data packet, as ath
does, shortening the ACK reservation time substantially.
* Add a note that we need to deal with not adding the ACK time for some
packets, though this is not implemented yet.

Questions:
* How do we affect the control rate used to send RTS/CTS packets?
* Is the PLCP header length actually controlled by the preamble length
selection, or should this be based on the transmit rate?

Of course short preamble is not actually implemented/working yet.


# 1.21 27-Dec-2004 mycroft

Update a comment.


# 1.20 27-Dec-2004 mycroft

Replace d_plcp_svc with d_residue. The latter is the number of whole
empty/unused octets to fill out the data time slot. The value is constrained
by math to 0 for <= 5.5Mb, 0-1 for 11Mb, and 0-2 for 22Mb. It is used to
signal to the MAC that there is residue.


# 1.19 23-Dec-2004 dyoung

Fix a bug in ieee80211_compute_duration: the 802.11 Duration field
in an 802.11 unicast data packet is equal to the duration of the
SIFS and Acknowledgement. That is, the amount of time reserved
*after* the packet has finished transmitting.

Change the arguments to ieee80211_compute_duration: pass the entire
packet length, not just the payload length. Add a 'debug' argument
to ieee80211_compute_duration and its helper subroutine,
ieee80211_compute_duration1.

If debug != 0, ieee80211_compute_duration printfs its arguments
and several local variables.

In rtw(4), load the 802.11 Duration field with the result from
ieee80211_compute_duration.


# 1.18 19-Dec-2004 dyoung

Define for more bits in the Service field of the 802.11 PLCP Header.

For use by the subroutine ieee80211_compute_duration, add struct
ieee80211_duration, and #define a number of microsecond constants
used for the transmit timing of 802.11 packets.

Add the subroutine ieee80211_compute_duration, which computes for
any packet the appropriate 802.11 Duration field, the PLCP Length
field, as well as the Duration and Length fields for an RTS frame.

atw(4), rtw(4), future drivers, and possibly ath(4) will share
ieee80211_compute_duration.

Make the node table into an LRU cache: least-recently used nodes
are at the end of the node queue. Change the reference-counting
discipline: ni->ni_refcnt indicates how many times net80211 has
granted ni to the driver. Every node in the table with ni_refcnt=0
is eligible to be garbage-collected. The mere presence of a node
in the table does not any longer indicate its auth/assoc state;
nodes have a ni_state variable, now. A sysctl,
net.link.ieee80211.maxnodecache, controls the maximum LRU cache
size.

While I am here, patch ieee80211_find_node_for_beacon to do a "best
match" by bssid/ssid/channel, not a "perfect match." This keeps
net80211 from caching duplicate nodes in the table.

On the output path, save a power-saving station's ieee80211_node

# 1.8 29-Oct-2003 dyoung

Add ieee80211_find_rxnode and its helper ieee80211_needs_rxnode.
802.11 drivers will use ieee80211_find_rxnode to match each received
packet with the ieee80211_node belonging to the sender. The driver
will use the ieee80211_node to track the sender's RSSI and other
statistics for, e.g., rate adaptation.

ieee80211_find_rxnode "fakes-up" missing ieee80211_nodes in IBSS
mode and in ad-hoc demo mode when it is appropriate. See the comments
in the source.

Also add ieee80211_find_txnode, which looks up the ieee80211_node
belonging to a MAC destination. ieee80211_find_txnode will also
fake-up missing nodes in IBSS/ad-hoc demo mode.

In ieee80211_encap, use ieee80211_find_txnode. This fixes the bug
in ad hoc packet-transmission reported by Greg Troxel, Urban Boquist,
and Kurt Schreiner.

# 1.5 28-Sep-2003 dyoung

More NetBSD-FreeBSD compatibility changes in the pattern

#ifdef __FreeBSD__

An important and non-obvious change is in ieee80211_mgmt_output,

#ifdef __FreeBSD__
KASSERT(m->m_pkthdr.rcvif == NULL, ("rcvif not null"));
#endif

Because NetBSD mbufs are not bzero'd like FreeBSD's, we cannot
count on rcvif == NULL.

# 1.2 07-Sep-2003 dyoung

First stab at producing a unified NetBSD/FreeBSD 802.11 layer,
striving to keep the diffs short and simple.

* Replace FreeBSDisms (e.g. struct arpcom) with conditionally-compiled
NetBSDism (struct ethercom).

* Add compatibility shims in ieee80211_compat.*: provide NetBSD with
if_printf, for example.

* Convert FreeBSD node mutex uses to generic node critical-section
protection (ieee80211_node_critsect_begin, _end), replace
FreeBSD atomic arithmetic with generic alternative, and implement
generics in NetBSD

Redefine bpf linkage through an always present op vector, i.e.
#if NBPFILTER is no longer required in the client. This change
doesn't yet add support for loading bpf as a module, since drivers
can register before bpf is attached. However, callers of bpf can
now be modularized.

Dynamically loadable bpf could probably be done fairly easily with
coordination from the stub driver and the real driver by registering
attachments in the stub before the real driver is loaded and doing
a handoff. ... and I'm not going to ponder the depths of unload
here.

Tested with i386/MONOLITHIC, modified MONOLITHIC without bpf and rump.

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.

o bounds check the beacon interval received in probe response and
beacon frames and drop frames with bogus settings; not clear
if we should instead clamp the value as any alteration would
result in mismatched sta+ap configuration and probably be more
confusing (don't want to log to the console but perhaps ok with
rate limiting)

Fix handling of frames sent prior to a station being authorized
when operating in ap mode. Previously we allocated a node from the
station table, sent the frame (using the node), then released the
reference that "held the frame in the table". But while the frame
was in flight the node might be reclaimed which could lead to
problems. The solution is to add an ieee80211_tmp_node routine
that crafts a node that does exist in a table and so isn't ever
reclaimed; it exists only so long as the associated frame is in flight.

XXX We expect CTS/ACK at 1 Mb/s for 1 & 2 Mb/s stations; and CTS/ACK

802.11 standard. Rate negotiation may need to be overhauld for
standards compliance, too.


# 1.22 27-Dec-2004 mycroft

Simplify the duration calculations somewhat.
* Add an intermediate variable, ctsrate, which is currently derived directly
from rate, but may be handled differently later (especially for 11g).
* Assume ACKs are sent at the same rate as the original data packet, as ath
does, shortening the ACK reservation time substantially.
* Add a note that we need to deal with not adding the ACK time for some
packets, though this is not implemented yet.

Questions:
* How do we affect the control rate used to send RTS/CTS packets?
* Is the PLCP header length actually controlled by the preamble length
selection, or should this be based on the transmit rate?

Of course short preamble is not actually implemented/working yet.

empty/unused octets to fill out the data time slot. The value is constrained

ieee80211_compute_duration1.

Make the node table into an LRU cache: least-recently used nodes

discipline: ni->ni_refcnt indicates how many times net80211 has

size.

Add ieee80211_find_rxnode and its helper ieee80211_needs_rxnode.
802.11 drivers will use ieee80211_find_rxnode to match each received
packet with the ieee80211_node belonging to the sender. The driver
will use the ieee80211_node to track the sender's RSSI and other
statistics for, e.g., rate adaptation.

ieee80211_find_rxnode "fakes-up" missing ieee80211_nodes in IBSS
mode and in ad-hoc demo mode when it is appropriate. See the comments
in the source.

Also add ieee80211_find_txnode, which looks up the ieee80211_node
belonging to a MAC destination. ieee80211_find_txnode will also
fake-up missing nodes in IBSS/ad-hoc demo mode.

In ieee80211_encap, use ieee80211_find_txnode. This fixes the bug
in ad hoc packet-transmission reported by Greg Troxel, Urban Boquist,
and Kurt Schreiner.

An important and non-obvious change is in ieee80211_mgmt_output,

#ifdef __FreeBSD__
KASSERT(m->m_pkthdr.rcvif == NULL, ("rcvif not null"));
#endif

Because NetBSD mbufs are not bzero'd like FreeBSD's, we cannot
count on rcvif == NULL.

# 1.3 07-Sep-2003 dyoung

# 1.2 07-Sep-2003 dyoung

First stab at producing a unified NetBSD/FreeBSD 802.11 layer,
striving to keep the diffs short and simple.

* Replace FreeBSDisms (e.g. struct arpcom) with conditionally-compiled
NetBSDism (struct ethercom).

* Add compatibility shims in ieee80211_compat.*: provide NetBSD with
if_printf, for example.

* Convert FreeBSD node mutex uses to generic node critical-section
protection (ieee80211_node_critsect_begin, _end), replace
FreeBSD atomic arithmetic with generic alternative, and implement
generics in NetBSD

* Provide NetBSD-style 802.11 ioctls

Redefine bpf linkage through an always present op vector, i.e.
#if NBPFILTER is no longer required in the client. This change
doesn't yet add support for loading bpf as a module, since drivers
can register before bpf is attached. However, callers of bpf can
now be modularized.

Dynamically loadable bpf could probably be done fairly easily with
coordination from the stub driver and the real driver by registering
attachments in the stub before the real driver is loaded and doing
a handoff. ... and I'm not going to ponder the depths of unload
here.

Tested with i386/MONOLITHIC, modified MONOLITHIC without bpf and rump.

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

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.

Fix handling of frames sent prior to a station being authorized
when operating in ap mode. Previously we allocated a node from the
station table, sent the frame (using the node), then released the
reference that "held the frame in the table". But while the frame
was in flight the node might be reclaimed which could lead to
problems. The solution is to add an ieee80211_tmp_node routine
that crafts a node that does exist in a table and so isn't ever
reclaimed; it exists only so long as the associated frame is in flight.

In ieee80211_mbuf_adjust, cope with read-only mbufs: make the
802.11 header + opt(crypto header) + LLC writable, regardless of
crypto state. If s/w crypto is enabled, still make the entire
chain writable, as before.

# 1.35 16-Aug-2005 dyoung

Fix previous patch for non-crypto operation: test for a NULL key
before testing the key flags.

XXX Problems remain. Nick Hudson points out my questionable
XXX M_COPY_PKTHDR usage. Also, it seems to me that we may not be
XXX protected against writing a read-only mbuf during the crypto
XXX encapsulation stage, even if hardware does the actual crypto.

rtw: Try to get hardware WEP to work. It seems to work in
the RX direction, but not in the TX direction. The
net80211 crypto framework doesn't seem to cope very well
with the assymetry (I'm probably missing something), so
I will use software WEP for now.

net80211: In ieee80211_compute_duration, figure out whether to add
the WEP header to the packet overhead by checking the
WEP bit in the Frame Control field of the 802.11 header,
instead of checking the IEEE80211_F_PRIVACY flag.

Also, if the WEP bit is present, assume that the frame
described by (wh, len) has already already been WEP
encapsulated, and adjust the payload length accordingly.
XXX that's a grotty hack that I will have to revisit,
later.

802.11 Control/multicast/broadcast packets are not acknowledged.
Set a shorter 802.11 Duration field, accordingly.

XXX We expect CTS/ACK at 1 Mb/s for 1 & 2 Mb/s stations; and CTS/ACK
at 2 Mb/s for 5.5 & 11 Mb/s stations. We need to check with the
802.11 standard. Rate negotiation may need to be overhauld for
standards compliance, too.


# 1.22 27-Dec-2004 mycroft

Simplify the duration calculations somewhat.
* Add an intermediate variable, ctsrate, which is currently derived directly
from rate, but may be handled differently later (especially for 11g).
* Assume ACKs are sent at the same rate as the original data packet, as ath
does, shortening the ACK reservation time substantially.
* Add a note that we need to deal with not adding the ACK time for some
packets, though this is not implemented yet.

Questions:
* How do we affect the control rate used to send RTS/CTS packets?
* Is the PLCP header length actually controlled by the preamble length
selection, or should this be based on the transmit rate?

Of course short preamble is not actually implemented/working yet.


# 1.21 27-Dec-2004 mycroft

Update a comment.


# 1.20 27-Dec-2004 mycroft

Replace d_plcp_svc with d_residue. The latter is the number of whole
empty/unused octets to fill out the data time slot. The value is constrained
by math to 0 for <= 5.5Mb, 0-1 for 11Mb, and 0-2 for 22Mb. It is used to
signal to the MAC that there is residue.


# 1.19 23-Dec-2004 dyoung

Fix a bug in ieee80211_compute_duration: the 802.11 Duration field
in an 802.11 unicast data packet is equal to the duration of the
SIFS and Acknowledgement. That is, the amount of time reserved
*after* the packet has finished transmitting.

Change the arguments to ieee80211_compute_duration: pass the entire
packet length, not just the payload length. Add a 'debug' argument
to ieee80211_compute_duration and its helper subroutine,
ieee80211_compute_duration1.

If debug != 0, ieee80211_compute_duration printfs its arguments
and several local variables.

In rtw(4), load the 802.11 Duration field with the result from
ieee80211_compute_duration.


# 1.18 19-Dec-2004 dyoung

Define for more bits in the Service field of the 802.11 PLCP Header.

For use by the subroutine ieee80211_compute_duration, add struct
ieee80211_duration, and #define a number of microsecond constants
used for the transmit timing of 802.11 packets.

Add the subroutine ieee80211_compute_duration, which computes for
any packet the appropriate 802.11 Duration field, the PLCP Length
field, as well as the Duration and Length fields for an RTS frame.

atw(4), rtw(4), future drivers, and possibly ath(4) will share
ieee80211_compute_duration.

# 1.17 10-Aug-2004 dyoung

Make the node table into an LRU cache: least-recently used nodes
are at the end of the node queue. Change the reference-counting
discipline: ni->ni_refcnt indicates how many times net80211 has
granted ni to the driver. Every node in the table with ni_refcnt=0
is eligible to be garbage-collected. The mere presence of a node
in the table does not any longer indicate its auth/assoc state;
nodes have a ni_state variable, now. A sysctl,
net.link.ieee80211.maxnodecache, controls the maximum LRU cache
size.

While I am here, patch ieee80211_find_node_for_beacon to do a "best
match" by bssid/ssid/channel, not a "perfect match." This keeps
net80211 from caching duplicate nodes in the table.

# 1.11 13-Jan-2004 dyoung

NetBSD's KASSERT takes just one argument while FreeBSD's takes two,

file and s/KASSERT/IASSERT/'d.


# 1.10 14-Dec-2003 dyoung

# 1.9 02-Nov-2003 dyoung

On the output path, save a power-saving station's ieee80211_node
in the mbuf's rcvif field so that the driver can get at it.


# 1.8 29-Oct-2003 dyoung

Add ieee80211_find_rxnode and its helper ieee80211_needs_rxnode.
802.11 drivers will use ieee80211_find_rxnode to match each received
packet with the ieee80211_node belonging to the sender. The driver
will use the ieee80211_node to track the sender's RSSI and other
statistics for, e.g., rate adaptation.

ieee80211_find_rxnode "fakes-up" missing ieee80211_nodes in IBSS
mode and in ad-hoc demo mode when it is appropriate. See the comments
in the source.

Also add ieee80211_find_txnode, which looks up the ieee80211_node
belonging to a MAC destination. ieee80211_find_txnode will also
fake-up missing nodes in IBSS/ad-hoc demo mode.

In ieee80211_encap, use ieee80211_find_txnode. This fixes the bug
in ad hoc packet-transmission reported by Greg Troxel, Urban Boquist,
and Kurt Schreiner.


# 1.7 15-Oct-2003 dyoung

Even more changes to the new 802.11 layer:

* Add Kevin Lahey's power-saving support from the old 802.11 layer
* Add a FHPARMS or DSPARMS info element to probe responses and beacons
as appropriate.


# 1.5 28-Sep-2003 dyoung

More NetBSD-FreeBSD compatibility changes in the pattern

#ifdef __FreeBSD__
/* FreeBSDism */
#else
/* NetBSDism */
#endif

An important and non-obvious change is in ieee80211_mgmt_output,

#ifdef __FreeBSD__
KASSERT(m->m_pkthdr.rcvif == NULL, ("rcvif not null"));
#endif

Because NetBSD mbufs are not bzero'd like FreeBSD's, we cannot
count on rcvif == NULL.


# 1.4 14-Sep-2003 dyoung

Insert RCSIDs.


# 1.3 07-Sep-2003 dyoung

Complete merge.


# 1.2 07-Sep-2003 dyoung

First stab at producing a unified NetBSD/FreeBSD 802.11 layer,
striving to keep the diffs short and simple.

* Replace FreeBSDisms (e.g. struct arpcom) with conditionally-compiled
NetBSDism (struct ethercom).

* Add compatibility shims in ieee80211_compat.*: provide NetBSD with
if_printf, for example.

* Convert FreeBSD node mutex uses to generic node critical-section
protection (ieee80211_node_critsect_begin, _end), replace
FreeBSD atomic arithmetic with generic alternative, and implement
generics in NetBSD

* Provide NetBSD-style 802.11 ioctls

* Style nits

Redefine bpf linkage through an always present op vector, i.e.
#if NBPFILTER is no longer required in the client. This change
doesn't yet add support for loading bpf as a module, since drivers
can register before bpf is attached. However, callers of bpf can
now be modularized.

Dynamically loadable bpf could probably be done fairly easily with
coordination from the stub driver and the real driver by registering
attachments in the stub before the real driver is loaded and doing
a handoff. ... and I'm not going to ponder the depths of unload
here.

Tested with i386/MONOLITHIC, modified MONOLITHIC without bpf and rump.

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.

Many __FreeBSD__ and __FreeBSD_version checks maintained and continued;
some less so.

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.

Fix handling of frames sent prior to a station being authorized
when operating in ap mode. Previously we allocated a node from the
station table, sent the frame (using the node), then released the
reference that "held the frame in the table". But while the frame
was in flight the node might be reclaimed which could lead to
problems. The solution is to add an ieee80211_tmp_node routine
that crafts a node that does exist in a table and so isn't ever
reclaimed; it exists only so long as the associated frame is in flight.

XXX We expect CTS/ACK at 1 Mb/s for 1 & 2 Mb/s stations; and CTS/ACK
at 2 Mb/s for 5.5 & 11 Mb/s stations. We need to check with the
802.11 standard. Rate negotiation may need to be overhauld for
standards compliance, too.


# 1.22 27-Dec-2004 mycroft

Simplify the duration calculations somewhat.
* Add an intermediate variable, ctsrate, which is currently derived directly
from rate, but may be handled differently later (especially for 11g).
* Assume ACKs are sent at the same rate as the original data packet, as ath
does, shortening the ACK reservation time substantially.
* Add a note that we need to deal with not adding the ACK time for some
packets, though this is not implemented yet.

Questions:
* How do we affect the control rate used to send RTS/CTS packets?
* Is the PLCP header length actually controlled by the preamble length
selection, or should this be based on the transmit rate?

Of course short preamble is not actually implemented/working yet.

Replace d_plcp_svc with d_residue. The latter is the number of whole
empty/unused octets to fill out the data time slot. The value is constrained
by math to 0 for <= 5.5Mb, 0-1 for 11Mb, and 0-2 for 22Mb. It is used to

*after* the packet has finished transmitting.

Change the arguments to ieee80211_compute_duration: pass the entire
packet length, not just the payload length. Add a 'debug' argument
to ieee80211_compute_duration and its helper subroutine,
ieee80211_compute_duration1.

If debug != 0, ieee80211_compute_duration printfs its arguments
and several local variables.

ieee80211_compute_duration.

any packet the appropriate 802.11 Duration field, the PLCP Length
field, as well as the Duration and Length fields for an RTS frame.

ieee80211_compute_duration.

Make the node table into an LRU cache: least-recently used nodes

discipline: ni->ni_refcnt indicates how many times net80211 has

in the table does not any longer indicate its auth/assoc state;
nodes have a ni_state variable, now. A sysctl,

size.

ieee80211_find_rxnode "fakes-up" missing ieee80211_nodes in IBSS
mode and in ad-hoc demo mode when it is appropriate. See the comments

Also add ieee80211_find_txnode, which looks up the ieee80211_node

fake-up missing nodes in IBSS/ad-hoc demo mode.
