This should bring -CURRENT and the github repo into close enough sync to
allow small feature branches rather than a large chain of interdependant
patches being developed out of tree. The reset of the synchronization
should be able to be completed on github by splitting the remaining
changes that are not yet ready into short feature branches for later
review as smaller commits.
Here is a summary of changes included in this patch:
1) More checks when INVARIANTS are enabled for eariler problem
detection
2) Group Task Queue cleanups
- Fix use of duplicate shortdesc for gtaskqueue malloc type.
Some interfaces such as memguard(9) use the short description to
identify malloc types, so duplicates should be avoided.
3) Allow gtaskqueues to use ithreads in addition to taskqueues
- In some cases, this can improve performance
4) Better logging when taskqgroup_attach*() fails to set interrupt
affinity.
5) Do not start gtaskqueues until they're needed
6) Have mp_ring enqueue function enter the ABDICATED rather than BUSY
state. This moves the TX to the gtaskq and allows processing to
continue faster as well as make TX batching more likely.
7) Add an ift_txd_errata function to struct if_txrx. This allows
drivers to inspect/modify mbufs before transmission.
8) Add a new IFLIB_NEED_ZERO_CSUM for drivers to indicate they need
checksums zeroed for checksum offload to work. This avoids modifying
packet data in the TX path when possible.
9) Use ithreads for iflib I/O instead of taskqueues
10) Clean up ioctl and support async ioctl functions
11) Prefetch two cachlines from each mbuf instead of one up to 128B. We
often need to parse packet header info beyond 64B.
12) Fix potential memory corruption due to fence post error in
bit_nclear() usage.
13) Improved hang detection and handling
14) If the packet is smaller than MTU, disable the TSO flags.
This avoids extra packet parsing when not needed.
15) Move TCP header parsing inside the IS_TSO?() test.
This avoids extra packet parsing when not needed.
16) Pass chains of mbufs that are not consumed by lro to if_input()
rather call if_input() for each mbuf.
17) Re-arrange packet header loads to get as much work as possible done
before a cache stall.
18) Lock the context when calling IFDI_ATTACH_PRE()/IFDI_ATTACH_POST()/
IFDI_DETACH();
19) Attempt to distribute RX/TX tasks across cores more sensibly,
especially when RX and TX share an interrupt. RX will attempt to
take the first threads on a core, and TX will attempt to take
successive threads.
20) Allow iflib_softirq_alloc_generic() to request affinity to the same
cpus an interrupt has affinity with. This allows TX queues to
ensure they are serviced by the socket the device is on.
21) Add new iflib sysctls to net.iflib:
- timer_int - interval at which to run per-queue timers in ticks
- force_busdma
22) Add new per-device iflib sysctls to dev.X.Y.iflib
- rx_budget allows tuning the batch size on the RX path
- watchdog_events Count of watchdog events seen since load
23) Fix error where netmap_rxq_init() could get called before
IFDI_INIT()
24) e1000: Fixed version of r323008: post-cold sleep instead of DELAY
when waiting for firmware
- After interrupts are enabled, convert all waits to sleeps
- Eliminates e1000 software/firmware synchronization busy waits after
startup
25) e1000: Remove special case for budget=1 in em_txrx.c
- Premature optimization which may actually be incorrect with
multi-segment packets
26) e1000: Split out TX interrupt rather than share an interrupt for
RX and TX.
- Allows better performance by keeping RX and TX paths separate
27) e1000: Separate igb from em code where suitable
Much easier to understand separate functions and "if (is_igb)" than
previous tests like "if (reg_icr & (E1000_ICR_RXSEQ | E1000_ICR_LSC))"

Post-cold sleep instead of DELAY when waiting for firmware.
Convert softc mutex to an SX lock. Change all waits to sleeps
once interrupts are enabled (and it is safe to sleep).

--Remove special-case handling of sparc64 bus_dmamap* functions.
Replace with a more generic mechanism that allows MD busdma
implementations to generate inline mapping functions by
defining WANT_INLINE_DMAMAP in <machine/bus_dma.h>. This
is currently useful for sparc64, x86, and arm64, which all
implement non-load dmamap operations as simple wrappers
around map objects which may be bus- or device-specific.
--Remove NULL-checked bus_dmamap macros. Implement the
equivalent NULL checks in the inlined x86 implementation.
For non-x86 platforms, these checks are a minor pessimization
as those platforms do not currently allow NULL maps. NULL
maps were originally allowed on arm64, which appears to have
been the motivation behind adding arm[64]-specific barriers
to bus_dma.h, but that support was removed in r299463.
--Simplify the internal interface used by the bus_dmamap_load*
variants and move it to bus_dma_internal.h
--Fix some drivers that directly include sys/bus_dma.h
despite the recommendations of bus_dma(9)

so that we can use it in iflib to detect pause frames.
The igb(4) driver definitely used to use this in its old timer function and
I see no reason to restrict it to that driver only.

We found routing performance dropped significantly when configuring
FreeBSD as a router, we are applying the following changes in order to
resolve those issues and hopefully perform better.
- don't prefetch the flags array, we usually don't need it
- prefetch the next cache line of each of the software descriptor arrays as
well as the first cache line of each of the next four packets' mbufs and
clusters
- reduce max copy size to 63 bytes
- convert rx soft descriptors from array of structures to a structure of arrays
- update copyrights

- Move group task queue into kern/subr_gtaskqueue.c
- Change intr_enable to return an int so it can be detected if it's not
implemented
- Allow different TX/RX queues per set to be different sizes
- Don't split up TX mbufs before transmit
- Allow a completion queue for TX as well as RX
- Pass the RX budget to isc_rxd_available() to allow an earlier return

"iflib is a library to eliminate the need for frequently duplicated device
independent logic propagated (poorly) across many network drivers."
Participation is purely optional. The IFLIB kernel config option is
provided for drivers that want to transition between legacy and iflib
modes of operation. ixl and ixgbe driver conversions will be committed
shortly. We hope to see participation from the Broadcom and maybe
Chelsio drivers in the near future.
