Hello everyone, one line summary: lots of things open to finish up before going back to other code work.
Some of this was in previous emails during the week: - the github branch got pushed and iwlwifi d3 build was enabled. - I also just merged all LinuxKPI prerequisites to stable/14 to be there before 14.1-R starts and to avoid many MFCs later. I will not push the driver updates for 14.1. If you want to/can test the github branch on main please checkout https://github.com/freebsd/wireless/tree/bz_wifi_drv_update In case you would love to test on stable/14 please drop me an email and I'll create a branch for that with the changes. - I not spent any more time on the USB debug console (still haven't recovered my HP xhci root bridge either). - Looked into suspend/resume: (1) what we do in net80211 is not "state save" so similar problems to what we've been working around that firmware state gets left behind. Same problem which went unaddressed for 10-15-ish years and along with other firmware related bits need to be sorted soon. (2) in FreeBSD to all I know we only have the "bus paths" for suspend/resume where-as I see more hooks in the Linux drivers. I have a crude hack for a prototype very specific to iwlwifi to "fish out" the 802.11 structures and call into that from the PCI path but that's nothing which is really generally doable so I keep pondering alternate code paths and was trying to figure out if we can hook them up internally (if we do have enough compat glue). It is both the code path but also access to the right "argument" then which is problematic. Also thanks to Jonathan Vasquez for testing the up/down path but as it stands taking down the VAP (wlan interface destroy) and re-creating that seems to be the only option for now. - Started to do an internal amd64 release build as to add firmware to the install media so WiFi can come up even if the firmware is not in src; this also triggered me at looking to update the ports and fwget for when the driver updates will go in. Doing a full matrix of which FreeBSD version needs which firmware version from ports long-term is going to be a bit support nightmare but we'll see. - Spent some time on various reviews in Phabricator, also LinuxKPI. - Started to update/comment on the last remaining reviews from Februar D43966, D43967 in order to sort these out. - stable/13 did not get the "EPOCH" changes before 13.3-R and I am trying to figure out if they are save to MFC or parts of them as they already create conflicts when merging newer bits. But I hope that apart from that I'll manage to get stable/13 aligned with 14 and main during the week as well. - Some personal Email handling, some of which now also ended up (or more hopefully will) on already open PRs if they are not "fixable" right away. One related to 8xxx/9xxx cards which still have a "takedown" problem it seems. - no news on vendor imports - Mark offered to have a look at the missing VM/Linux Page changes needed to move mt76 forward some time the next weeks. Lots of health, Bjoern -- Bjoern A. Zeeb r15:7
