[CFT] filtered frames support is now in -HEAD, please test

2012-09-19 Thread Adrian Chadd
Hi all,

I've finished pushing the filtered frames support into -HEAD and I've
flipped it on. I've also found a couple of strange interactions with
BAR (which are likely BAR bugs in the first place) which I've also
committed a workaround for until I can fix net80211.

There's a bunch of possible gotchas that can occur with this code
(mostly showing up as traffic stalls) so I'd really appreciate it if
people would update to -HEAD and give it a right and thorough test.

I'm doing as thorough testing as I can with my current test setup. Who
knows what other weird bugs will lurk in this code.

Thanks,



Adrian

I've found/fixed the BAR and filtered frame issues that crept up; as
well as some other filtered frames related hangs.

I committed the mess to -HEAD.

Please update, test and let me know if things hang in weird and strange ways.

Hi,

Ive seen some odd hangs where the tid is paused once, but both waiting for
bar and filtered frame completion. That shouldnt happen.

Ill hold off commiting this until I root cause and resolve it.

[CFT]: filtered frames support

2012-09-10 Thread Adrian Chadd
Hi all,

I've been working on filtered frames support as a precursor for
correct AP mode power save support.

The patch is here:
http://people.freebsd.org/~adrian/ath/20120910-filter-frame-12-works.diff

It only supports filtered frames for 802.11n aggregate sessions. It
doesn't yet support filtered frames on non-aggregate sessions as I
haven't yet implemented a software retry mechanism for non-ADDBA
session transmission.

I'd like to commit this to -HEAD soon so I can work on software
retransmission for non-ADDBA session traffic.

Thanks again for helping me develop 802.11n support for the Atheros
wifi devices!
