- 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

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.

DP83065 Saturn Gigabit Ethernet controllers. These are the successors
of the Sun GEM controllers and still have a similar but extended transmit
logic. As such this driver is based on gem(4).
Thanks to marcel@ for providing a Sun Quad GigaSwift Ethernet UTP (QGE)

It would be good if the offload functionality would be properly

Properly wrap the carp callouts in INET || INET6 and refelect this
in sys/conf/files as well. While in theory this should be ok,
it might be a bit optimistic to think that carp could build with
inet6 only[1].

- Preallocate some memory for ACPI tasks early enough. We cannot use
malloc(9) any more because spin mutex may be held here. The reserved
memory can be tuned via debug.acpi.max_tasks tunable or ACPI_MAX_TASKS
in kernel configuration. The default is 32 tasks.
- Implement a custom taskqueue_fast to wrap the new memory allocation.
This implementation is not the fastest in the world but we are being
conservative here.
be nfs_nfsdport.c and nfs_nfsdcache.c are the problem only but we need
to mark all or we will run into problems at link time.
One is because of calling an INET specific function, the other is
because of VIMAGE putting all tcp* into struct vnet_inet.
Both are general problems throughout the entire stack and not a fault
of the NFS implementation and will need to be addressed in the future.

According to my reading we still only support encapsulating datagrams
into IPv4 and not IPv6 so there is no optional | gre inet6 yet.
controller. These controllers are also known as L1C(AR8131) and
L2C(AR8132) respectively. These controllers resembles the first
generation controller L1 but usage of different descriptor format
and new register mappings over L1 register space requires a new
driver. There are a couple of registers I still don't understand
but the driver seems to have no critical issues for performance and
stability. Currently alc(4) supports the following hardware
features.
o MSI
o TCP Segmentation offload
o Hardware VLAN tag insertion/stripping
o Tx/Rx interrupt moderation
o Hardware statistics counters(dev.alc.%d.stats)
o Jumbo frame
o WOL
AR8131/AR8132 also supports Tx checksum offloading but I disabled
it due to stability issues. I'm not sure this comes from broken
sample boards or hardware bugs. If you know your controller works
without problems you can still enable it. The controller has a
silicon bug for Rx checksum offloading, so the feature was not
implemented.
I'd like to say big thanks to Atheros. Atheros kindly sent sample
boards to me and answered several questions I had.

For a slightly thorough explaination, please refer to

Summary of changes includes:
1 Volume Per-Channel (vpc). Provides private / standalone volume control
unique per-stream pcm channel without touching master volume / pcm.
Applications can directly use SNDCTL_DSP_[GET|SET][PLAY|REC]VOL, or for
backwards compatibility, SOUND_MIXER_PCM through the opened dsp device
instead of /dev/mixer. Special "bypass" mode is enabled through
/dev/mixer which will automatically detect if the adjustment is made
through /dev/mixer and forward its request to this private volume
controller. Changes to this volume object will not interfere with
other channels.
Requirements:
- SNDCTL_DSP_[GET|SET][PLAY|REC]_VOL are newer ioctls (OSSv4) which
require specific application modifications (preferred).
- No modifications required for using bypass mode, so applications
like mplayer or xmms should work out of the box.
Kernel hints:
- hint.pcm.%d.vpc (0 = disable vpc).
Kernel sysctls:
- hw.snd.vpc_mixer_bypass (default: 1). Enable or disable /dev/mixer
bypass mode.
- hw.snd.vpc_autoreset (default: 1). By default, closing/opening
/dev/dsp will reset the volume back to 0 db gain/attenuation.
Setting this to 0 will preserve its settings across device
closing/opening.
- hw.snd.vpc_reset (default: 0). Panic/reset button to reset all
volume settings back to 0 db.
- hw.snd.vpc_0db (default: 45). 0 db relative to linear mixer value.
2 High quality fixed-point Bandlimited SINC sampling rate converter,
based on Julius O'Smith's Digital Audio Resampling -
http://ccrma.stanford.edu/~jos/resample/. It includes a filter design
script written in awk (the clumsiest joke I've ever written)
- 100% 32bit fixed-point, 64bit accumulator.
- Possibly among the fastest (if not fastest) of its kind.
- Resampling quality is tunable, either runtime or during kernel
compilation (FEEDER_RATE_PRESETS).
- Quality can be further customized during kernel compilation by
defining FEEDER_RATE_PRESETS in /etc/make.conf.
Kernel sysctls:
- hw.snd.feeder_rate_quality.
0 - Zero-order Hold (ZOH). Fastest, bad quality.
1 - Linear Interpolation (LINEAR). Slightly slower than ZOH,
better quality but still does not eliminate aliasing.
2 - (and above) - Sinc Interpolation(SINC). Best quality. SINC
quality always start from 2 and above.
Rough quality comparisons:
- http://people.freebsd.org/~ariff/z_comparison/
3 Bit-perfect mode. Bypasses all feeder/dsp effects. Pure sound will be
directly fed into the hardware.
4 Parametric (compile time) Software Equalizer (Bass/Treble mixer). Can
be customized by defining FEEDER_EQ_PRESETS in /etc/make.conf.
5 Transparent/Adaptive Virtual Channel. Now you don't have to disable
vchans in order to make digital format pass through. It also makes
vchans more dynamic by choosing a better format/rate among all the
concurrent streams, which means that dev.pcm.X.play.vchanformat/rate
becomes sort of optional.
6 Exclusive Stream, with special open() mode O_EXCL. This will "mute"
other concurrent vchan streams and only allow a single channel with
O_EXCL set to keep producing sound.
Other Changes:
* most feeder_* stuffs are compilable in userland. Let's not
speculate whether we should go all out for it (save that for
FreeBSD 16.0-RELEASE).
* kobj signature fixups, thanks to Andriy Gapon <avg@freebsd.org>
* pull out channel mixing logic out of vchan.c and create its own
feeder_mixer for world justice.
* various refactoring here and there, for good or bad.
* activation of few more OSSv4 ioctls() (see [1] above).
* opt_snd.h for possible compile time configuration:

Clists were originally used by the TTY layer as a text buffer interface.
The advantage of clists were that it would allocate a small set of
additional buffers that could be shared between TTYs when needed. In
the modern days we can just allocate some more KBs of memory to keep the
TTYs satisfied. The global cfreelist also requires synchronisation,
which may not be useful when trying to improve scalability.
The MPSAFE TTY layer uses its own text buffers (ttyinq and ttyoutq). We
had a small amount of drivers in the tree that still uses clists, like
the old USB stack and some keyboard drivers. With the old USB stack gone
and the keyboard drivers changed to use a circular buffer, we can safely
remove clists from the kernel.
and used in a large number of files, but also because an increasing number
of incorrect uses of MAC calls were sneaking in due to copy-and-paste of
MAC-aware code without the associated opt_mac.h include.

Each list describes a logical memory object that is backed by one or more
physical address ranges. To minimize locking, the sglist objects
themselves are immutable once they are shared.
These objects may be used in the future to facilitate I/O requests using
physically-addressed buffers. For the immediate future I plan to use them
to implement a new type of VM object and pager.

- Implement this functionality also for IPv6 and RAW IP sockets.
- Always compile it in (don't use additional kernel options).
- Remove sysctl to turn this functionality on and off.

Introduce for this operation the reverse NO_ADAPTIVE_SX option.
The flag SX_ADAPTIVESPIN to be passed to sx_init_flags(9) gets suppressed
and the new flag, offering the reversed logic, SX_NOADAPTIVE is added.
Additively implements adaptive spininning for sx held in shared mode.
The spinning limit can be handled through sysctls in order to be tuned
while the code doesn't reach the release, after which time they should
be dropped probabilly.
This change has made been necessary by recent benchmarks where it does
improve concurrency of workloads in presence of high contention
(ie. ZFS).
KPI breakage is documented by __FreeBSD_version bumping, manpage and
