Run on LLNW canaries and tested by pho@ gallatin: Using a 14-core, 28-HTT single socket E5-2697 v3 with a 40GbE MLX5 based ConnectX 4-LX NIC, I see an almost 12% improvement in received packet rate, and a larger improvement in bytes delivered all the way to userspace. When the host receiving 64 streams of netperf -H $DUT -t UDP_STREAM -- -m 1, I see, using nstat -I mce0 1 before the patch: InMpps OMpps InGbs OGbs err TCP Est %CPU syscalls csw irq GBfree 4.98 0.00 4.42 0.00 4235592 33 83.80 4720653 2149771 1235 247.32 4.73 0.00 4.20 0.00 4025260 33 82.99 4724900 2139833 1204 247.32 4.72 0.00 4.20 0.00 4035252 33 82.14 4719162 2132023 1264 247.32 4.71 0.00 4.21 0.00 4073206 33 83.68 4744973 2123317 1347 247.32 4.72 0.00 4.21 0.00 4061118 33 80.82 4713615 2188091 1490 247.32 4.72 0.00 4.21 0.00 4051675 33 85.29 4727399 2109011 1205 247.32 4.73 0.00 4.21 0.00 4039056 33 84.65 4724735 2102603 1053 247.32 After the patch InMpps OMpps InGbs OGbs err TCP Est %CPU syscalls csw irq GBfree 5.43 0.00 4.20 0.00 3313143 33 84.96 5434214 1900162 2656 245.51 5.43 0.00 4.20 0.00 3308527 33 85.24 5439695 1809382 2521 245.51 5.42 0.00 4.19 0.00 3316778 33 87.54 5416028 1805835 2256 245.51 5.42 0.00 4.19 0.00 3317673 33 90.44 5426044 1763056 2332 245.51 5.42 0.00 4.19 0.00 3314839 33 88.11 5435732 1792218 2499 245.52 5.44 0.00 4.19 0.00 3293228 33 91.84 5426301 1668597 2121 245.52 Similarly, netperf reports 230Mb/s before the patch, and 270Mb/s after the patch Reviewed by: gallatin Sponsored by: Limelight Networks Differential Revision: https://reviews.freebsd.org/D15366

For copyright information, please see the file COPYRIGHT in this directory (additional copyright information also exists for some sources in this tree - please see the specific source directories for more information).
The Makefile in this directory supports a number of targets for building components (or all) of the FreeBSD source tree. See build(7) and https://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/makeworld.html for more information, including setting make(1) variables.
The buildkernel and installkernel targets build and install
the kernel and the modules (see below). Please see the top of
the Makefile in this directory for more information on the
standard build targets and compile-time flags.
Building a kernel is a somewhat more involved process. See build(7), config(8), and https://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/kernelconfig.html for more information.
Note: If you want to build and install the kernel with the
buildkernel and installkernel targets, you might need to build
world before. More information is available in the handbook.
The kernel configuration files reside in the sys/<arch>/conf
sub-directory. GENERIC is the default configuration used in release builds.
