- Only update the rx ring consumer pointer after running through the rx loop,
not with each iteration through the loop.
- If possible, use a fast interupt handler instead of an ithread handler. Use
the interrupt handler to check and squelch the interrupt, then schedule a
taskqueue to do the actual work. This has three benefits:
- Eliminates the 'interrupt aliasing' problem found in many chipsets by
allowing the driver to mask the interrupt in the NIC instead of the
OS masking the interrupt in the APIC.
- Allows the driver to control the amount of work done in the interrupt
handler. This results in what I call 'adaptive polling', where you get
the latency benefits of a quick response to interrupts with the
interrupt mitigation and work partitioning of polling. Polling is still
an option in the driver, but I consider it orthogonal to this work.
- Don't hold the driver lock in the RX handler. The handler and all data
associated is effectively serialized already. This eliminates the cost of
dropping and reaquiring the lock for every receieved packet. The result
is much lower contention for the driver lock, resulting in lower CPU usage
and lower latency for interactive workloads.
The amount of work done in the taskqueue is controlled by the sysctl
dev.em.N.rx_processing_limit
and tunable
hw.em.rx_process_limit
Setting these to -1 effectively removes the limit.
The fast interrupt and taskqueue can be disabled by defining NO_EM_FASTINTR.
This work has been shown to increase fast-forwarding from ~570 kpps to
~750 kpps (note that the same NIC hardware seems unable to transmit more than
800 kpps, so this increase appears to be limited almost solely by the
hardware). Gains have been shown in other workloads, ranging from better
performance to elimination of over-saturation livelocks.
Thanks to Andre Opperman for his time and resources from his network
performance project in performing much of the testing. Thanks to Gleb
Smirnoff and Danny Braniss for their help in testing also.

o record tsf in tx+rx frames
o switch from raw rssi to dbm for signal data and record both
signal and noise floor data (hacked for now to assume a fixed
noise floor; is correct with new hal)
o add monpass sysctl to control which rx'd frames are passed
up with errors; especially useful to see frames with CRC errors
o mark 'd packets w/ a CRC error with radiotap's BADFCS flag
Also add placeholder code for calibrating the noise floor when
using newer hals.

better, I discovered sn doing too many pointer dereferences. This
driver would do silly things like:
sn_foo(struct ifnet *ifp)
{
struct sn_softc *sc = ifp->if_softc;
sc->ifp->mumble
/* Other stuff */
}
while /* other stuff */ usually needed sc, the extra deref isn't
needed. Eliminate a few dozen of them.

doesn't have any actual interrupts is listed in a _PRT entry, only print
a warning rather than panic'ing when we walk the _PRT's to build up count
of entries that reference a given link (the counts are used as weights so
that we can attempt to balance the load across IRQs used by link devices).
Instead, only panic if we attempt to use the _PRT entry to route an
interrupt for a device.

- Fix / reorganize attach routine. Device specific initialization must
be done after generic bus / DMA setup. At last, Virtual Channels

Note: Recent commit / fix against this driver proves that major enhancements
on the generic sound layer does indeed help to expose flaw within
device specific code. There are probably other drivers that need to
be addressed as well.

- Decrease TI_MAXTXSEGS to 32 from 128. It seems that most mbuf chain
length is less than 32 and it would be re-packed with m_defrag(9) if
its chain length is larger than TI_MAXTXSEGS. This would protect ti(4)
against possible kernel stack overflow when txsegs[] is put on stack.
Alternatively, we can embed the txsegs[] into softc. However, that
would waste memory and make Tx/Rx speration hard when we want to
sperate Tx/Rx handlers to optimize locking.
- Fix dma map tracking used in Tx path. Previously it used the dma map
of the last mbuf chain in ti_txeof() which was incorrect as ti(4)
used dma map of the first mbuf chain when it loads a mbuf chain with
bus_dmamap_load_mbuf(9). Correct the bug by introducing queues that
keep track of active/inactive dma maps/mbuf chain.
- Use ti_txcnt to check whether driver need to set watchdog timer instead
of blidnly clearing the timer in ti_txeof().
- Remove the 3rd arg. of ti_encap(). Since ti(4) now caches the last
descriptor index(ti_tx_saved_prodidx) used in Tx there is no need to
pass it as a fuction arg.
- Change data type of producer/consumer index to int from u_int16_t in
order to remove implicit type conversions in Tx/Rx handlers.
- Check interface queue before getting a mbuf chain to reduce locking
overhead.
- Check number of available Tx descriptores to be 16 or higher in
ti_start(). This wouldn't protect Tx descriptor shortage but it would
reduce number of bus_dmamap_unload(9) calls in ti_encap() when we are
about to running out of Tx descriptors.
- Command NIC to send packets ony when the driver really has packets
enqueued. Previously it always set TI_MB_SENDPROD_IDX which would
command NIC to DMA Tx descriptors into NIC local memory regardless
of Tx descriptor changes.
