- remove mbuf iovec - useful, but adds too much complexity when isolated to
the driver
- remove driver private caching - insufficient benefit over UMA to justify
the added complexity and maintenance overhead
- remove separate logic for managing multiple transmit queues, with the
new drbr routines the control flow can be made to much more closely resemble
legacy drivers
- remove dedicated service threads, with per-cpu callouts one can get the same
benefit much more simply by registering a callout 1 tick in the future if there
are still buffered packets
- remove embedded mbuf usage - Jeffr's changes will (I hope) soon be integrated
greatly reducing the overhead of using kernel APIs for reference counting
clusters
- add hysteresis to descriptor coalescing logic
- add coalesce threshold sysctls to allow users to decide at run-time
between optimizing for forwarding / UDP or optimizing for TCP
- add once per second watchdog to effectively close the very rare races
occurring from coalescing
- incorporate Navdeep's changes to the initialization path required to
convert port and adapter locks back to ordinary mutexes (silencing BPF
LOR complaints)
- enable prefetches in get_packet and tx cleaning

Without that, the lookup for the SA had failed as we were looking for
a SA with the new, updated port numbers instead of the old ones and
were comparing the ports in key_cmpsaidx().
This makes updating the remote -> local SA on the initiator work again.

NGROUPS_MAX, eliminate ABI dependencies on them, and raise the to 1024
and 1023 respectively. (Previously they were equal, but under a close
reading of POSIX, NGROUPS_MAX was defined to be too large by 1 since it
is the number of supplemental groups, not total number of groups.)
The bulk of the change consists of converting the struct ucred member
cr_groups from a static array to a pointer. Do the equivalent in
kinfo_proc.
Introduce new interfaces crcopysafe() and crsetgroups() for duplicating
a process credential before modifying it and for setting group lists
respectively. Both interfaces take care for the details of allocating
groups array. crsetgroups() takes care of truncating the group list
to the current maximum (NGROUPS) if necessary. In the future,
crsetgroups() may be responsible for insuring invariants such as sorting
the supplemental groups to allow groupmember() to be implemented as a
binary search.
Because we can not change struct xucred without breaking application
ABIs, we leave it alone and introduce a new XU_NGROUPS value which is
always 16 and is to be used or NGRPS as appropriate for things such as
NFS which need to use no more than 16 groups. When feasible, truncate
the group list rather than generating an error.
Minor changes:
- Reduce the number of hand rolled versions of groupmember().
- Do not assign to both cr_gid and cr_groups[0].
- Modify ipfw to cache ucreds instead of part of their contents since
they are immutable once referenced by more than one entity.

allocator for the jumbo frames zones. This change has two benefits: (1) a
custom back-end deallocator is no longer required. UMA's standard
deallocator suffices. (2) It eliminates a potentially confusing artifact
of using contigmalloc(): The malloc(9) statistics contain bogus information
about the usage of jumbo frames. Specifically, the malloc(9) statistics
report all jumbo frames in use whereas the UMA zone statistics report the
"truth" about the number in use vs. the number free.

This patch acquires a reference count on the newly created structure

adds the appropriate SVC_RELEASE() calls to the callers, except the
experimental nfs subsystem. The latter will be committed separately.

in the type field of system call tables. Specifically, one can now use
the 'NO*' types as flags in addition to the 'COMPAT*' types. For example,
to tag 'COMPAT*' system calls as living in a KLD via NOSTD. The COMPAT*
type is required to be listed first in this case.
- Add new functions 'type()' and 'flag()' to the embedded awk script in
makesyscalls.sh that return true if a requested flag is found in the
type field ($3). The flag() function checks all of the flags in the
field, but type() only checks the first flag. type() is meant to be
used in the top-level "switch" statement and flag() should be used
otherwise.
- Retire the CPT_NOA type, it is now replaced with "COMPAT|NOARGS" using
the flags approach.
- Tweak the comment descriptions of COMPAT[46] system calls so that they
say "freebsd[46] foo" rather than "old foo".
- Document the COMPAT6 type.

Note this problem does not occur on IXP425 boards. The linux driver does
fuse-resets on each NPE but in the order NPE-A < NPE-B < NPE-C (when probing

scheme but for now disable the resets until we see an issue.
with the malloc tag and calls a new back-end, kmem_alloc_contig(), that
allocates the pages and maps them.
The motivations for this change are two-fold: (1) A cache mode parameter
will be added to kmem_alloc_contig(). In other words, kmem_alloc_contig()
will be extended to support the allocation of memory with caller-specified
caching. (2) The UMA allocation function that is used by the two jumbo
frames zones can use kmem_alloc_contig() in place of contigmalloc() and
thereby avoid having free jumbo frames held by the zone counted as live
malloc()ed memory.

o set the port address "just in case"
o add NPE-A support to the tx done qmgr callback
Actually, as it did receive few tuning, the support is disabled by
default, but it can opt-in with the option ADAPTIVE_LOCKMGRS.
Due to the nature of lockmgrs, adaptive spinning needs to be
selectively enabled for any interested lockmgr.
The support is bi-directional, or, in other ways, it will work in both
cases if the lock is held in read or write way. In particular, the
read path is passible of further tunning using the sysctls
debug.lockmgr.retries and debug.lockmgr.loops . Ideally, such sysctls
should be axed or compiled out before release.
Addictionally note that adaptive spinning doesn't cope well with
LK_SLEEPFAIL. The reason is that many (and probabilly all) consumers
of LK_SLEEPFAIL are mainly interested in knowing if the interlock was
dropped or not in order to reacquire it and re-test initial conditions.
This directly interacts with adaptive spinning because lockmgr needs
to drop the interlock while spinning in order to avoid a deadlock
(further details in the comments inside the patch).
Final note: finding someone willing to help on tuning this with
relevant workloads would be either very important and appreciated.
