- remove experimental code for disabling CRC - use the correct constant for conversion between interrupt rate and EITR values (the previous values were off by a factor of 2) - make dev.ix.N.queueM.interrupt_rate a RW sysctl variable. Changing individual values affects the queue immediately, and propagates to all interfaces at the next reinit. - add dev.ix.N.queueM.irqs rdonly sysctl, to export the actual interrupt counts Netmap-related changes for ixgbe: - use the "new" format for TX descriptors in netmap mode. - pass interrupt mitigation delays to the user process doing poll() on a netmap file descriptor. On the RX side this means we will not check the ring more than once per interrupt. This gives the process a chance to sleep and process packets in larger batches, thus reducing CPU usage. On the TX side we take this even further: completed transmissions are reclaimed every half ring even if the NIC interrupts more often. This saves even more CPU without any additional tx delays. Generic Netmap-related changes: - align the netmap_kring to cache lines so that there is no false sharing (possibly useful for multiqueue NICs and MSIX interrupts, which are handled by different cores). It's a minor improvement but it does not cost anything. Reviewed by: Jack Vogel Approved by: Jack Vogel |
