* When doing software TX queue handling and flush, it's possible
that the deletion of a VAP (eg a STA shutdown) will queue a
"STA Disassociate" frame whilst the interface is being deleted.
The VAP is then deleted, and the frame ends up being queued
to a node that is freed before it can be TX'ed. Things go awry
at this point.
There's no way at the present to avoid freeing the underlying node
when the vap is being deleted. It's too late in the game.
I suspect the real fix is to make sure the frame is software
queued with no completion information somehow, so it doesn't
link back to a node whose underlying VAP has been freed.
For now, we'll just have to do this.
* Add some comments showing what's going on.
* Move an instance of the ATH_LOCK() around to protect the interrupt
set. I'll worry about changing that to a PCU lock later on once
the 11n code is in the tree.

and interface resets to be marked as ATH_RESET_DEFAULT, ATH_RESET_FULL,
ATH_RESET_NOLOSS.
Currently a reset is still a reset - ie, all tx/rx frames in the hardware
queues are purged. This means that those frames will be lost to the 11n TX
and RX aggregation state tracking, breaking AMPDU sessions.
The (eventual) new semantics:
* ATH_RESET_DEFAULT:
full reset, this is the default for reset situations
which I haven't yet figured out what they should be.
* ATH_RESET_FULL:
A full reset - for things such as channel changes.
* ATH_RESET_NOLOSS:
Don't flush TX/RX queues - handle pending RX frames and leave TX
frames where they are; restart TX DMA from where it was.
* Change ath_rx_proc() to ath_rx_tasklet(); make that the taskqueue function.
This way (eventually) ath_rx_proc() can be called from elsewhere in the
packet reset/processing queue so frames aren't just "flushed" during
interface resets/reconfigure. This breaks 802.11n RX aggregation tracking.
* Extend ath_tx_proc() to take a 'resched' flag, which marks whether to
reschedule further RX PCU reads or not.
* Change ath_tx_processq() to take a "dosched" flag, which will eventually
be used to indicate whether to reschedule the software TX scheduler.

allocator with UMA backed jumbo allocator by default. Previously
ti(4) used sf_buf(9) interface for jumbo buffers but it was broken
at this moment such that enabling jumbo frame caused instant panic.
Due to the nature of sf_buf(9) it heavily relies on VM changes but
it seems ti(4) was not received much blessing from VM gurus. I
don't understand VM magic and implications used in driver either.
Switching to UMA backed jumbo allocator like other network drivers
will make jumbo frame work on ti(4).
While I'm here, fully allocate all RX buffers. This means ti(4) now
uses 512 RX buffer and 1024 mini RX buffers.
To use sf_buf(9) interface for jumbo buffers, introduce a new
'options TI_SF_BUF_JUMBO'. If it is proven that sf_buf(9) is better
for jumbo buffers, interesting developers can fix the issue in
future.
ti(4) still needs more bus_dma(9) cleanups and should use separate
DMA tag/map for each ring(standard, jumbo, mini, command, event
etc) but it should work on all platforms except PAE.

* Close down some of the kickpcu races, where the interrupt handler
can and will run concurrently with the taskqueue.
* Close down the TXQ active/completed race between the interrupt
handler and the concurrently running tx completion taskqueue
function.
* Add some tx and rx interrupt count tracking, for debugging.
* Fix the kickpcu logic in ath_rx_proc() to not simply drain and
restart the TX queue - instead, assume the hardware isn't
(too) confused and just restart RX DMA. This may break on
previous chipsets, so if it does I'll add a HAL flag and
conditionally handle this (ie, for broken chipsets, I'll
just restore the "stop PCU / flush things / restart PCU"
logic.)

A bunch of the 11n TX aggregation logic wants to traverse lists of buffers
in various ways. In order to provide O(1) behaviour in this instance,
use TAILQs.
This does blow out the memory footprint and CPU cycles slightly for some
of these operations. I may convert some of these back to STAILQs once
the rest of the software transmit queue handling has been stabilised.

* Use 64 bit integer types for the sample rate statistics.
When TX'ing 11n aggregates, a 32 bit counter will overflow in a few
hours due to the high packet throughput.
* Create a default label of "" rather than defaulting to "Mb" - that way
if a rate hasn't yet been selected, it won't say "-1 Mb".

* Add a PCU lock, which isn't currently used but will eventually be
used to serialise some of the driver access.
* Add in all the software TX aggregation state, that's kept per-node
and per-TID.
* Add in the software and aggregation state to ath_buf.
* Add in hooks to ath_softc for aggregation state and the (upcoming)
aggregation TX state calls.
* Add / fix the HAL access macros.

o Do not blindly UP controller when MTU is changed. Reinitialize
controller only if driver is running.
o Remove useless ti_stop() in ti_watchdog() since ti_init_locked()
always invokes ti_stop().

checksum offloading and VLAN hardware tag insertion/stripping from
the currently enabled hardware offloading capabilities.
Previously if_hwassist, which was initialized to TX/RX checksum
offloading, was blindly used to enable both TX and RX checksum
offloading such that disabling either TX or RX checksum offloading
was not possible.
ti(4) controllers support TX/RX checksum offloading with VLAN
tagging so announce TX/RX checksum offloading capability over VLAN
to vlan(4).
Make VLAN hardware tag insertion/stripping honors currently enabled
interface capability instead of blindly enabling VLAN hardware
tagging. This change allows disabling hardware support of VLAN tag.
Because ti(4) supports VLAN oversized frames, make network stack
know the capability by setting if_hdrlen.
While I'm here, rewrite SIOCSIFCAP handler and make sure to
reinitialize controller whenever TX/RX checksum offloading and VLAN
hardware tagging option is changed. The requirement of controller
reinitialization comes from the limitation of Tigon I/II firmware.
Tigon I/II firmware requires all related RCBs should be
reinitialized whenever any of its hardware offloading capabilities
change.
vlan(4) is also notified whenever the parent interface's capability
changes such that it can correctly handle TX/RX checksum offloading
based on parent interface's enabled offloading capabilities.
RX checksum offloading handler was changed to make upper stack use
controller computed partial checksum value. Previously, ti(4) just
set the computed value for any frames(IPv4, IPv6) and the value was
not used in upper stack because driver didn't set CSUM_DATA_VALID
such that upper network stack had to recompute checksum of TCP/UDP
packets. I have no idea how this was not noticed for a long time.
With this change, upper network stack does not have to fully
recompute the checksum such that calculating pseudo checksum based
on partial checksum is sufficient to know whether received packet's
checksum is correct or not. However, I don't know why ti(4) does
not have controller compute pseudo checksum as controller has
ability to do it. I'm just guessing enabling that feature could
trigger a firmware bug or could be slower than computing it on host
side so just leave it as it was.
In order not to produce false positives, ti(4) now checks whether
controller actually computed IP or TCP/UDP checksum by checking
ti_flags field.
state changes. Hide superfluous link up/down message under
bootverbose since if_link_state_change(9) shows that information.
While I'm here, change baudrate with the resolved speed of the
established link instead of blindly setting it 1G. Unfortunately,
it seems there is no way to differentiate 10/100Mbps from
non-gigabit link so just assume we established a 100Mbps link if
current link is not a gigabit link.
This was broken in r175872.
We have a UMA backed jumbo allocator and that is much better
implementation than having a local jumbo buffer allocator in
driver. This local allocator would be removed in near future but
fixing build before removal wouldn't be a bad idea.
replace amd(4) with the former in the amd64, i386 and pc98 GENERIC kernel
configuration files. Besides duplicating functionality, amd(4), which
previously also supported the AMD Am53C974, unlike esp(4) is no longer
maintained and has accumulated enough bit rot over time to always cause
a panic during boot as long as at least one target is attached to it
(see PR 124667).

Ideally ata(4) should just be converted to access these using bus_space(9)
read/write functions instead as there's really no reason to do it the
former way. However, this part of ata-siliconimage.c should go away in
favor of siis(4) sooner or later anyway and I don't have the hardware to
actually test the SX4 bits of ata-promise.c.
Also ideally the other architectures should also properly handle the
BUS_SPACE_MAP_LINEAR flag of bus_space_map(9) so this code wouldn't need
to be #ifdef'ed.
take advantage of it instead of duplicating it. This reduces the size of
the i386 GENERIC kernel by about 4k. The only potential in-tree user left
unconverted is xe(4), which generally should be changed to use miibus(4)
instead of implementing PHY handling on its own, as otherwise it makes not
much sense to add a dependency on miibus(4)/mii_bitbang(4) to xe(4) just
for the MII bitbang'ing code. The common MII bitbang'ing code also is
useful in the embedded space for using GPIO pins to implement MII access.
- Based on lessons learnt with dc(4) (see r185750), add bus barriers to the
MII bitbang read and write functions of the other drivers converted in
order to ensure the intended ordering. Given that register access via an
index register as well as register bank/window switching is subject to the
same problem, also add bus barriers to the respective functions of smc(4),
tl(4) and xl(4).
- Sprinkle some const.
