- Testing TSO6 has led me to discover that HW RSC is
a problematic feature, it is ONLY designed to work
with IPv4 in the first place, and if IP forwarding
is done it can't be disabled as LRO in the stack,
also initial testing we've done at Intel shows an
equal performance using TSO[46] on the TX and LRO
on RX, if you ran older code on 82599 or later hardware
you actually could have detrimental performance for
this reason. So I am disabling the feature by default
and all our adapters will now use LRO instead.
- If you have flow control off and multiple queues it
was possible when the buffer of one queue becomes
full that all RX movement is stalled, to eliminate
this problem a feature bit is now set that will allow
packets to be dropped when full rather than stall.
Note, the default is to have flow control on, and this
keeps this from happening.
- Because of the recent fixes in the stack, LRO is now
auto-disabled when problematic, so I have decided to
enable it by default in the capabilities in the driver.
- There are some 1G modules used by some customers, a couple
small tweaks to properly support those in the media code.
- A note: we have now done some testing of TSO6 and using
LRO with IPv6 and it all works great!! Seeing line rate

This name, then, becames reserved from the struct that wants to use the

Namely such structs are the current struct mtx and the new

the same as the same layout of a struct mtx but will be allocated in
areas aligned to the cache line size and will be as big as a cache line.
This is supposed to give higher performance for highly contented mutexes

line contention results in too much traffic on the system bus.

So, just add a comment.
I've tried serialising TX using queues and such but unfortunately
due to how this interacts with the locking going on elsewhere in the
networking stack, the TX task gets delayed, resulting in quite a
noticable throughput loss:
* baseline TCP for 2x2 11n HT40 is ~ 170mbit/sec;
* TCP for TX task in the ath taskq, with the RX also going on - 80mbit/sec;
* TCP for TX task in a separate, second taskq - 100mbit/sec.
So for now I'm going with the Linux wireless stack approach - lock tx
early. The linux code does in the wireless stack, before the 802.11
state stuff happens and before it's punted to the driver.
But TX locking needs to also occur at the driver layer as the TX
completion code _also_ begins to drain the ifnet TX queue.
Whilst I'm here, add some KTR traces for the TX path.
Note:
* This really should be done at the net80211 layer (as well, at least.)
But that'll have to wait for a little more thought to happen.

snd_wl1 tracks the right edge, including data in the reassembly
queue, of valid incoming data. This makes it like rcv_nxt plus
reassembly. It never goes backwards to prevent older, possibly
reordered segments from updating the window.
snd_wl2 tracks the left edge of sent data. This makes it a duplicate
of snd_una. However joining them right now is difficult due to
separate update dependencies in different places in the code flow.
snd_wnd tracks the current advertized send window by the peer. In
tcp_output() the effective window is calculated by subtracting the
already in-flight data, snd_nxt less snd_una, from it.
ACK's become the main clock of window updates and will always update
the window when the left edge of what we sent is advanced. The ACK
clock is the primary signaling mechanism in ongoing data transfers.
This works reliably even in the presence of reordering, reassembly
and retransmitted segments. The ACK clock is most important because
it determines how much data we are allowed to inject into the network.
Zero window updates get us out of persistence mode are crucial. Here
a segment that neither moves ACK nor SEQ but enlarges WND is accepted.
When the ACK clock is not active (that is we're not or no longer
sending any data) any segment that moves the extended right SEQ edge,
including out-of-order segments, updates the window. This gives us
updates especially during ping-pong transfers where the peer isn't
done consuming the already acknowledged data from the receive buffer
while responding with data.
The SSH protocol is a prime candidate to benefit from the improved
bi-directional window update logic as it has its own windowing
mechanism on top of TCP and is frequently sending back protocol ACK's.

to occur (and we can't just entirely bypass this model, also, at least
for tick interrupts, this also wouldn't be wise). However, when a
preemption interrupt interrupts another interrupt of lower priority,
f.e. PIL_ITHREAD, and that one in turn is nested by a third interrupt,
f.e. PIL_TICK, with SCHED_ULE the execution of interrupts higher than
PIL_PREEMPT may be migrated to another CPU. In particular, tl1_ret(),
which is responsible for restoring the state of the CPU prior to entry
to the interrupt based on the (also migrated) trap frame, then is run
on a CPU which actually didn't receive the interrupt in question,
causing an inappropriate processor interrupt level to be "restored".
In turn, this causes interrupts of the first level, i.e. PIL_ITHREAD
in the above scenario, to be blocked on the target of the migration
until the correct PIL happens to be restored again on that CPU again.
Making PIL_PREEMPT the lowest real priority, this effectively prevents
this scenario from happening, as preemption interrupts no longer can
interrupt any other interrupt besides stray ones (which is no issue).
Thanks to attilio@ and especially mav@ for helping me to understand
this problem at the 201208DevSummit.
- Give PIL_STOP (which is also used for IPI_STOP_HARD, given that there's
no real equivalent to NMIs on SPARC v9) the highest possible priority
just below the hardwired PIL_TICK, so it has a chance to interrupt
more things.

... otherwise the current thread might be holding ARC locks and thus run
into a deadlock. This happens, for example, when a thread does memory
allocation in the ARC code and runs into KVA shortage.
Also, it really makes the most sense to wait in pageproc, so that the
results of ARC reclamation are seen before the page cache is acted upon.
In other cases where vm_lowmem is invoked, e.g. on KVA space shortage,
the callers perform multiple attempts (up to 8) and wait for rather
long intervals between them (up to 4 seconds), so ARC reclaim results
should become visible even without explicit waiting on the ARC thread.
Note that this is not a critical issue for typical ZFS usages where KVA
space should already be large enough. On amd64 systems setting KVA size
to twice the physical memory size is known to mitigate KVA fragmentation
issues in practice.
Side note: perhaps vm_lowmem 'how' parameter should be used to
differentiate between causes of the event.

parent adapter's _DOD list, only check the low 16 bits of both _ADR and
_DOD. The language in the ACPI spec seems to indicate that the _ADR values
should exactly match the entries in _DOD. However, I assume that the
masking added to _DOD values was added to work around some known busted
machines (the commit history doesn't indicate either way), and the ACPI
spec does require that the low 16 bits are unique for all video outputs,
so only check the low 16 bits should be fine.
This fixes recognition of video outputs that use the new standardized
device ID scheme in ACPI 3.0 that set bit 31 such as certain Dell laptops.

that revises the netmap memory allocator so that the
various parameters (number and size of buffers, rings, descriptors)
can be modified at runtime through sysctl variables.
The changes become effective when no netmap clients are active.
The API is mostly unchanged, although the NIOCUNREGIF ioctl now
does not bring the interface back to normal mode: and you
need to close the file descriptor for that.
This change was necessary to track who is using the mapped region,
and since it is a simplification of the API there was no
incentive in trying to preserve NIOCUNREGIF.
We will remove the ioctl from the kernel next time we need
a real API change (and version bump).
Among other things, buffer allocation when opening devices is
now much faster: it used to take O(N^2) time, now it is linear.
