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.

probe. The current device order is unchanged. This commit just adds the
infrastructure and ABI changes so that it is easier to merge later changes
into 8.x.
- Driver attachments now have an associated pass level. Attachments are
not allowed to probe or attach to drivers until the system-wide pass level
is >= the attachment's pass level. By default driver attachments use the
"last" pass level (BUS_PASS_DEFAULT). Driver's that wish to probe during
an earlier pass use EARLY_DRIVER_MODULE() instead of DRIVER_MODULE() which
accepts the pass level as an additional parameter.
- A new method BUS_NEW_PASS has been added to the bus interface. This
method is invoked when the system-wide pass level is changed to kick off
a rescan of the device tree so that drivers that have just been made
"eligible" can probe and attach.
- The bus_generic_new_pass() function provides a default implementation of
BUS_NEW_PASS(). It first allows drivers that were just made eligible for
this pass to identify new child devices. Then it propogates the rescan to
child devices that already have an attached driver by invoking their
BUS_NEW_PASS() method. It also reprobes devices without a driver.
- BUS_PROBE_NOMATCH() is only invoked for devices that do not have
an attached driver after being scanned during the final pass.
- The bus_set_pass() function is used during boot to raise the pass level.
Currently it is only called once during root_bus_configure() to raise
the pass level to BUS_PASS_DEFAULT. This has the effect of probing all
devices in a single pass identical to previous behavior.

1. separating L2 tables (ARP, NDP) from the L3 routing tables
2. removing as much locking dependencies among these layers as
possible to allow for some parallelism in the search operations
3. simplify the logic in the routing code,
The most notable end result is the obsolescent of the route
cloning (RTF_CLONING) concept, which translated into code reduction
in both IPv4 ARP and IPv6 NDP related modules, and size reduction in
struct rtentry{}. The change in design obsoletes the semantics of
RTF_CLONING, RTF_WASCLONE and RTF_LLINFO routing flags. The userland
applications such as "arp" and "ndp" have been modified to reflect
those changes. The output from "netstat -r" shows only the routing
entries.
Quite a few developers have contributed to this project in the
past: Glebius Smirnoff, Luigi Rizzo, Alessandro Cerri, and
Andre Oppermann. And most recently:
- Kip Macy revised the locking code completely, thus completing
the last piece of the puzzle, Kip has also been conducting

to no longer report false positives when searching for siblings and
dupe devices in the same domain respectively.
Along with this change the sole host-PCI bridge driver converted to
actually make use of PCI domain support is uninorth(4), the others
continue to use domain 0 only for now and need to be converted as
appropriate later on.
Note that this means that the format of the location strings as used

potentially need to be recompiled.

Adaptive spinning on select locks may be enabled by enabling the
ADAPTIVE_SX kernel option. Only locks initialized with the SX_ADAPTIVESPIN
flag via sx_init_flags() will adaptively spin.
The common cases for sx_slock(), sx_sunlock(), sx_xlock(), and sx_xunlock()
are now performed inline in non-debug kernels. As a result, <sys/sx.h> now
requires <sys/lock.h> to be included prior to <sys/sx.h>.
The new kernel option SX_NOINLINE can be used to disable the aforementioned
inlining in non-debug kernels.
The size of struct sx has changed, so the kernel ABI is probably greatly
