[net80211] Initial A-MSDU support for testing / evaluation A-MSDU is another 11n aggregation mechanism where multiple ethernet frames get LLC encapsulated (so they have a length field), padded, and put in a single MPDU (802.11 MAC frame.) This means it gets sent out as a single frame, with a single seqno, it's acked as one frame, etc. It turns out that, hah, atheros fast frames is almost but not quite like this, so I'm reusing all of the current superg/fast-frames stuff in order to actually transmit A-MSDU. Yes, this means that A-MSDU frames are also only aggregated two at a time, so it's not necessarily a huge win, but it's better than nothing. This doesn't do anything by default - the driver needs to say it does A-MSDU as well as set the AMSDU software TX capability so this code path gets exercised. For now, the only driver that enables this is urtwn. I'll enable it for rsu at some point soon. Tested: * Add an amsdu encap path to aggregate two frames, same as the fast-frames path. * Always do the superg init/teardown and node init/teardown stuff, regardless of whether the nodes are doing fast-frames (the ATH capability stuff.) That way we can reuse it for amsdu. * Don't do AMSDU for multicast/broadcast and EAPOL frames. * If we're doing A-MPDU, then don't bother doing FF/A-MSDU. We can likely do both together, but I don't want to change behaviour. * Teach the fast frames approx txtime logic to support the 11n rates. But, since we don't currently have a full "current rate" support, assume it's HT20, long-gi, etc. That way we overshoot on the TX time estimation, so we're always inside the requirements. (And we only aggregate two frames for now, so we're not really going to exceed that.) * Drop the maximum FF age default down to 2ms, otherwise we end up with some very annoyingly large latencies. TODO: * We only aggregate two ethernet frames, so I'm not checking the max A-MSDU size. But when it comes time to support >2 frames, we should obey that. Tested: * urtwn(4)

Bring over my initial work from the net80211 TX locking branch. This patchset implements a new TX lock, covering both the per-VAP (and thus per-node) TX locking and the serialisation through to the underlying physical device. This implements the hard requirement that frames to the underlying physical device are scheduled to the underlying device in the same order that they are processed at the VAP layer. This includes adding extra encapsulation state (such as sequence numbers and CCMP IV numbers.) Any order mismatch here will result in dropped packets at the receiver. There are multiple transmit contexts from the upper protocol layers as well as the "raw" interface via the management and BPF transmit paths. All of these need to be correctly serialised or bad behaviour will result under load. The specifics: * add a new TX IC lock - it will eventually just be used for serialisation to the underlying physical device but for now it's used for both the VAP encapsulation/serialisation and the physical device dispatch. This lock is specifically non-recursive. * Methodize the parent transmit, vap transmit and ic_raw_xmit function pointers; use lock assertions in the parent/vap transmit routines. * Add a lock assertion in ieee80211_encap() - the TX lock must be held here to guarantee sensible behaviour. * Refactor out the packet sending code from ieee80211_start() - now ieee80211_start() is just a loop over the ifnet queue and it dispatches each VAP packet send through ieee80211_start_pkt(). Yes, I will likely rename ieee80211_start_pkt() to something that better reflects its status as a VAP packet transmit path. More on that later. * Add locking around the management and BAR TX sending - to ensure that encapsulation and TX are done hand-in-hand. * Add locking in the mesh code - again, to ensure that encapsulation and mesh transmit are done hand-in-hand. * Add locking around the power save queue and ageq handling, when dispatching to the parent interface. * Add locking around the WDS handoff. * Add a note in the mesh dispatch code that the TX path needs to be re-thought-out - right now it's doing a direct parent device transmit rather than going via the vap layer. It may "work", but it's likely incorrect (as it bypasses any possible per-node power save and aggregation handling.) Why not a per-VAP or per-node lock? Because in order to ensure per-VAP ordering, we'd have to hold the VAP lock across parent->if_transmit(). There are a few problems with this: * There's some state being setup during each driver transmit - specifically, the encryption encap / CCMP IV setup. That should eventually be dragged back into the encapsulation phase but for now it lives in the driver TX path. This should be locked. * Two drivers (ath, iwn) re-use the node->ni_txseqs array in order to allocate sequence numbers when doing transmit aggregation. This should also be locked. * Drivers may have multiple frames queued already - so when one calls if_transmit(), it may end up dispatching multiple frames for different VAPs/nodes, each needing a different lock when handling that particular end destination. So to be "correct" locking-wise, we'd end up needing to grab a VAP or node lock inside the driver TX path when setting up crypto / AMPDU sequence numbers, and we may already _have_ a TX lock held - mostly for the same destination vap/node, but sometimes it'll be for others. That could lead to LORs and thus deadlocks. So for now, I'm sticking with an IC TX lock. It has the advantage of papering over the above and it also has the added advantage that I can assert that it's being held when doing a parent device transmit. I'll look at splitting the locks out a bit more later on. General outstanding net80211 TX path issues / TODO: * Look into separating out the VAP serialisation and the IC handoff. It's going to be tricky as parent->if_transmit() doesn't give me the opportunity to split queuing from driver dispatch. See above. * Work with monthadar to fix up the mesh transmit path so it doesn't go via the parent interface when retransmitting frames. * Push the encryption handling back into the driver, if it's at all architectually sane to do so. I know it's possible - it's what mac80211 in Linux does. * Make ieee80211_raw_xmit() queue a frame into VAP or parent queue rather than doing a short-cut direct into the driver. There are QoS issues here - you do want your management frames to be encapsulated and pushed onto the stack sooner than the (large, bursty) amount of data frames that are queued. But there has to be a saner way to do this. * Fragments are still broken - drivers need to be upgraded to an if_transmit() implementation and then fragmentation handling needs to be properly fixed. Tested: * STA - AR5416, AR9280, Intel 5300 abgn wifi * Hostap - AR5416, AR9160, AR9280 * Mesh - some testing by monthadar@, more to come.

Migrate the fast-frames transmit support away from using the txa_private field and into a separate fast-frames staging pointer in ieee80211_node. The A-MPDU TX path allows txa_private to be used by drivers. So it will clash with any attempt to use fast-frames. Now, fast-frames is not really anything special - it's just a custom ethernet frame type that contains two MSDUs into one MPDU. So all the NIC has to support doing is transmitting up to a 4KiB frame with an arbitrary ethertype and bam! Fast-frames. However, using txa_private means we can /either/ do fast-frames or A-MPDU TX, so fast frames has been turned off in the Atheros HAL for 11n chipsets. This is a bit silly - it actually means that 802.11 performance to/from 11abg Atheros chips is actually better than between an 11abg atheros device and an 11n Atheros device. So: * create a new mbuf staging queue for fast frames. It only queues a single frame in the staging queue (and there's a top-level ic staging queue used for expiry/tracking) so it's just an mbuf pointer per TID. * Still use the ampdu TX packet counter to determine whether to do aggregation or not. It'll double count if we start doing both A-MPDU TX and fast frames, but that's not all that important right now. * Initialise the pps tracker so ticks isn't zero. This ensures that fast-frames actually gets used - without it, the ticks math overflows and the pps math always sets txa_pps=0. This is the same bug that plagued A-MPDU TX starting logic. This actually allows fast-frames transmit to occur between the AR9331 (in 11n HT/20 mode) and AR9170 (if_otus) in 11bg mode. Now, this is a great big no-op on atheros 11n hardware, so don't worry. It may mean you start seeing more reliable fast-frames transmission on 11abg hardware which may expose some more amusing bugs. TODO: * further testing and debugging of all of this before flipping on fast-frames in if_ath (for 11n) and if_otus.

Bring over my initial work from the net80211 TX locking branch. This patchset implements a new TX lock, covering both the per-VAP (and thus per-node) TX locking and the serialisation through to the underlying physical device. This implements the hard requirement that frames to the underlying physical device are scheduled to the underlying device in the same order that they are processed at the VAP layer. This includes adding extra encapsulation state (such as sequence numbers and CCMP IV numbers.) Any order mismatch here will result in dropped packets at the receiver. There are multiple transmit contexts from the upper protocol layers as well as the "raw" interface via the management and BPF transmit paths. All of these need to be correctly serialised or bad behaviour will result under load. The specifics: * add a new TX IC lock - it will eventually just be used for serialisation to the underlying physical device but for now it's used for both the VAP encapsulation/serialisation and the physical device dispatch. This lock is specifically non-recursive. * Methodize the parent transmit, vap transmit and ic_raw_xmit function pointers; use lock assertions in the parent/vap transmit routines. * Add a lock assertion in ieee80211_encap() - the TX lock must be held here to guarantee sensible behaviour. * Refactor out the packet sending code from ieee80211_start() - now ieee80211_start() is just a loop over the ifnet queue and it dispatches each VAP packet send through ieee80211_start_pkt(). Yes, I will likely rename ieee80211_start_pkt() to something that better reflects its status as a VAP packet transmit path. More on that later. * Add locking around the management and BAR TX sending - to ensure that encapsulation and TX are done hand-in-hand. * Add locking in the mesh code - again, to ensure that encapsulation and mesh transmit are done hand-in-hand. * Add locking around the power save queue and ageq handling, when dispatching to the parent interface. * Add locking around the WDS handoff. * Add a note in the mesh dispatch code that the TX path needs to be re-thought-out - right now it's doing a direct parent device transmit rather than going via the vap layer. It may "work", but it's likely incorrect (as it bypasses any possible per-node power save and aggregation handling.) Why not a per-VAP or per-node lock? Because in order to ensure per-VAP ordering, we'd have to hold the VAP lock across parent->if_transmit(). There are a few problems with this: * There's some state being setup during each driver transmit - specifically, the encryption encap / CCMP IV setup. That should eventually be dragged back into the encapsulation phase but for now it lives in the driver TX path. This should be locked. * Two drivers (ath, iwn) re-use the node->ni_txseqs array in order to allocate sequence numbers when doing transmit aggregation. This should also be locked. * Drivers may have multiple frames queued already - so when one calls if_transmit(), it may end up dispatching multiple frames for different VAPs/nodes, each needing a different lock when handling that particular end destination. So to be "correct" locking-wise, we'd end up needing to grab a VAP or node lock inside the driver TX path when setting up crypto / AMPDU sequence numbers, and we may already _have_ a TX lock held - mostly for the same destination vap/node, but sometimes it'll be for others. That could lead to LORs and thus deadlocks. So for now, I'm sticking with an IC TX lock. It has the advantage of papering over the above and it also has the added advantage that I can assert that it's being held when doing a parent device transmit. I'll look at splitting the locks out a bit more later on. General outstanding net80211 TX path issues / TODO: * Look into separating out the VAP serialisation and the IC handoff. It's going to be tricky as parent->if_transmit() doesn't give me the opportunity to split queuing from driver dispatch. See above. * Work with monthadar to fix up the mesh transmit path so it doesn't go via the parent interface when retransmitting frames. * Push the encryption handling back into the driver, if it's at all architectually sane to do so. I know it's possible - it's what mac80211 in Linux does. * Make ieee80211_raw_xmit() queue a frame into VAP or parent queue rather than doing a short-cut direct into the driver. There are QoS issues here - you do want your management frames to be encapsulated and pushed onto the stack sooner than the (large, bursty) amount of data frames that are queued. But there has to be a saner way to do this. * Fragments are still broken - drivers need to be upgraded to an if_transmit() implementation and then fragmentation handling needs to be properly fixed. Tested: * STA - AR5416, AR9280, Intel 5300 abgn wifi * Hostap - AR5416, AR9160, AR9280 * Mesh - some testing by monthadar@, more to come.

[net80211] Initial A-MSDU support for testing / evaluation A-MSDU is another 11n aggregation mechanism where multiple ethernet frames get LLC encapsulated (so they have a length field), padded, and put in a single MPDU (802.11 MAC frame.) This means it gets sent out as a single frame, with a single seqno, it's acked as one frame, etc. It turns out that, hah, atheros fast frames is almost but not quite like this, so I'm reusing all of the current superg/fast-frames stuff in order to actually transmit A-MSDU. Yes, this means that A-MSDU frames are also only aggregated two at a time, so it's not necessarily a huge win, but it's better than nothing. This doesn't do anything by default - the driver needs to say it does A-MSDU as well as set the AMSDU software TX capability so this code path gets exercised. For now, the only driver that enables this is urtwn. I'll enable it for rsu at some point soon. Tested: * Add an amsdu encap path to aggregate two frames, same as the fast-frames path. * Always do the superg init/teardown and node init/teardown stuff, regardless of whether the nodes are doing fast-frames (the ATH capability stuff.) That way we can reuse it for amsdu. * Don't do AMSDU for multicast/broadcast and EAPOL frames. * If we're doing A-MPDU, then don't bother doing FF/A-MSDU. We can likely do both together, but I don't want to change behaviour. * Teach the fast frames approx txtime logic to support the 11n rates. But, since we don't currently have a full "current rate" support, assume it's HT20, long-gi, etc. That way we overshoot on the TX time estimation, so we're always inside the requirements.

Bring over my initial work from the net80211 TX locking branch. This patchset implements a new TX lock, covering both the per-VAP (and thus per-node) TX locking and the serialisation through to the underlying physical device. This implements the hard requirement that frames to the underlying physical device are scheduled to the underlying device in the same order that they are processed at the VAP layer. This includes adding extra encapsulation state (such as sequence numbers and CCMP IV numbers.) Any order mismatch here will result in dropped packets at the receiver. There are multiple transmit contexts from the upper protocol layers as well as the "raw" interface via the management and BPF transmit paths. All of these need to be correctly serialised or bad behaviour will result under load. The specifics: * add a new TX IC lock - it will eventually just be used for serialisation to the underlying physical device but for now it's used for both the VAP encapsulation/serialisation and the physical device dispatch. This lock is specifically non-recursive. * Methodize the parent transmit, vap transmit and ic_raw_xmit function pointers; use lock assertions in the parent/vap transmit routines. * Add a lock assertion in ieee80211_encap() - the TX lock must be held here to guarantee sensible behaviour. * Refactor out the packet sending code from ieee80211_start() - now ieee80211_start() is just a loop over the ifnet queue and it dispatches each VAP packet send through ieee80211_start_pkt(). Yes, I will likely rename ieee80211_start_pkt() to something that better reflects its status as a VAP packet transmit path. More on that later. * Add locking around the management and BAR TX sending - to ensure that encapsulation and TX are done hand-in-hand. * Add locking in the mesh code - again, to ensure that encapsulation and mesh transmit are done hand-in-hand. * Add locking around the power save queue and ageq handling, when dispatching to the parent interface. * Add locking around the WDS handoff. * Add a note in the mesh dispatch code that the TX path needs to be re-thought-out - right now it's doing a direct parent device transmit rather than going via the vap layer. It may "work", but it's likely incorrect (as it bypasses any possible per-node power save and aggregation handling.) Why not a per-VAP or per-node lock? Because in order to ensure per-VAP ordering, we'd have to hold the VAP lock across parent->if_transmit(). There are a few problems with this: * There's some state being setup during each driver transmit - specifically, the encryption encap / CCMP IV setup. That should eventually be dragged back into the encapsulation phase but for now it lives in the driver TX path. This should be locked. * Two drivers (ath, iwn) re-use the node->ni_txseqs array in order to allocate sequence numbers when doing transmit aggregation. This should also be locked. * Drivers may have multiple frames queued already - so when one calls if_transmit(), it may end up dispatching multiple frames for different VAPs/nodes, each needing a different lock when handling that particular end destination. So to be "correct" locking-wise, we'd end up needing to grab a VAP or node lock inside the driver TX path when setting up crypto / AMPDU sequence numbers, and we may already _have_ a TX lock held - mostly for the same destination vap/node, but sometimes it'll be for others. That could lead to LORs and thus deadlocks. So for now, I'm sticking with an IC TX lock. It has the advantage of papering over the above and it also has the added advantage that I can assert that it's being held when doing a parent device transmit. I'll look at splitting the locks out a bit more later on. General outstanding net80211 TX path issues / TODO: * Look into separating out the VAP serialisation and the IC handoff. It's going to be tricky as parent->if_transmit() doesn't give me the opportunity to split queuing from driver dispatch. See above. * Work with monthadar to fix up the mesh transmit path so it doesn't go via the parent interface when retransmitting frames. * Push the encryption handling back into the driver, if it's at all architectually sane to do so. I know it's possible - it's what mac80211 in Linux does. * Make ieee80211_raw_xmit() queue a frame into VAP or parent queue rather than doing a short-cut direct into the driver. There are QoS issues here - you do want your management frames to be encapsulated and pushed onto the stack sooner than the (large, bursty) amount of data frames that are queued. But there has to be a saner way to do this. * Fragments are still broken - drivers need to be upgraded to an if_transmit() implementation and then fragmentation handling needs to be properly fixed. Tested: * STA - AR5416, AR9280, Intel 5300 abgn wifi * Hostap - AR5416, AR9160, AR9280 * Mesh - some testing by monthadar@, more to come.

[net80211] Initial A-MSDU support for testing / evaluation A-MSDU is another 11n aggregation mechanism where multiple ethernet frames get LLC encapsulated (so they have a length field), padded, and put in a single MPDU (802.11 MAC frame.) This means it gets sent out as a single frame, with a single seqno, it's acked as one frame, etc. It turns out that, hah, atheros fast frames is almost but not quite like this, so I'm reusing all of the current superg/fast-frames stuff in order to actually transmit A-MSDU. Yes, this means that A-MSDU frames are also only aggregated two at a time, so it's not necessarily a huge win, but it's better than nothing. This doesn't do anything by default - the driver needs to say it does A-MSDU as well as set the AMSDU software TX capability so this code path gets exercised. For now, the only driver that enables this is urtwn. I'll enable it for rsu at some point soon. Tested: * Add an amsdu encap path to aggregate two frames, same as the fast-frames path. * Always do the superg init/teardown and node init/teardown stuff, regardless of whether the nodes are doing fast-frames (the ATH capability stuff.) That way we can reuse it for amsdu. * Don't do AMSDU for multicast/broadcast and EAPOL frames. * If we're doing A-MPDU, then don't bother doing FF/A-MSDU. We can likely do both together, but I don't want to change behaviour. * Teach the fast frames approx txtime logic to support the 11n rates. But, since we don't currently have a full "current rate" support, assume it's HT20, long-gi, etc. That way we overshoot on the TX time estimation, so we're always inside the requirements. (And we only aggregate two frames for now, so we're not really going to exceed that.) * Drop the maximum FF age default down to 2ms, otherwise we end up with some very annoyingly large latencies. TODO: * We only aggregate two ethernet frames, so I'm not checking the max A-MSDU size. But when it comes time to support >2 frames, we should obey that. Tested: * urtwn(4)

It may mean you start seeing more reliable fast-frames transmission on 11abg hardware which may expose some more amusing bugs. TODO: * further testing and debugging of all of this before flipping on fast-frames in if_ath (for 11n) and if_otus.
