SW_INVOL. Assert that one of these is set in mi_switch() and propery
adjust the rusage statistics. This is to simplify the large number of
users of this interface which were previously all required to adjust the
proper counter prior to calling mi_switch(). This also facilitates more
switch and locking optimizations.
- Change all callers of mi_switch() to pass the appropriate paramter and
remove direct references to the process statistics.

whether or not the isr needs to hold Giant when running; Giant-less
operation is also controlled by the setting of debug_mpsafenet
o mark all netisr's except NETISR_IP as needing Giant
o add a GIANT_REQUIRED assertion to the top of netisr's that need Giant
o pickup Giant (when debug_mpsafenet is 1) inside ip_input before
calling up with a packet
o change netisr handling so swi_net runs w/o Giant; instead we grab
Giant before invoking handlers based on whether the handler needs Giant
o change netisr handling so that netisr's that are marked MPSAFE may
have multiple instances active at a time
o add netisr statistics for packets dropped because the isr is inactive

livelock problem
|
| |
|
|
|

|

because Luigi observed livelock but in recent testing it did not occur
so I'm re-enabling it by default.

drain routines are done by swi_net, which allows for better queue control
at some future point. Packets may also be directly dispatched to a netisr
instead of queued, this may be of interest at some installations, but
currently defaults to off.

investigate the problem described below.
I am seeing some strange livelock on recent -current sources with
a slow box under heavy load, which disappears with this change.
This might suggest some kind of problem (either insufficient locking,
or mishandling of priorities) in the poll_idle thread.

This escaped because DEVICE_POLLING is disabled in LINT being
not compatible with SMP. In fact, it is only a runtime problem,
so if we could recognize that we are building a LINT kernel
we could as well disable the check for SMP being defined.

of polling interfaces at the lowest possible priority
(this might result in softnetisr being scheduled, but there is
no risk of livelock because they have a higher priority than
this thread).

Non-SMP, i386-only, no polling in the idle loop at the moment.
To use this code you must compile a kernel with
options DEVICE_POLLING
and at runtime enable polling with
sysctl kern.polling.enable=1
The percentage of CPU reserved to userland can be set with
sysctl kern.polling.user_frac=NN (default is 50)
while the remainder is used by polling device drivers and netisr's.
These are the only two variables that you should need to touch. There
are a few more parameters in kern.polling but the default values
are adequate for all purposes. See the code in kern_poll.c for
more details on them.
Polling in the idle loop will be implemented shortly by introducing
a kernel thread which does the job. Until then, the amount of CPU
dedicated to polling will never exceed (100-user_frac).
The equivalent (actually, better) code for -stable is at
http://info.iet.unipi.it/~luigi/polling/
and also supports polling in the idle loop.
NOTE to Alpha developers:
There is really nothing in this code that is i386-specific.
If you move the 2 lines supporting the new option from
sys/conf/{files,options}.i386 to sys/conf/{files,options} I am
pretty sure that this should work on the Alpha as well, just that
I do not have a suitable test box to try it. If someone feels like
trying it, I would appreciate it.
NOTE to other developers:
sure some things could be done better, and as always I am open to
constructive criticism, which a few of you have already given and
I greatly appreciated.
However, before proposing radical architectural changes, please
take some time to possibly try out this code, or at the very least
read the comments in kern_poll.c, especially re. the reason why I
am using a soft netisr and cannot (I believe) replace it with a
simple timeout.
