Summary

Using one taskqueue group with single thread to execute all admin
tasks may lead to unexpected timeouts when long running task (e.g.
handling a reset after FW update) for one interface prevents
tasks from other interfaces being executed. Taskqueue group API
doesn't let to dynamically add threads, and pre-allocating thread
for each CPU as it's done for traffic queues would be a waste
of resources on systems with small number of interfaces. Replace
global taskqueue group for admin tasks with taskqueue allocated
for each interface to allow independent execution.

This looks ok to me, though I'm not intimately familiar with all of iflib.

Seems reasonable to me. If there is any work that depends or interacts with these changes it would be nice to see them linked/referenced so we can look at that too but I can't foresee any problems.

sys/net/iflib.c
6339	Can this line be removed entirely?
6401–6402	Can you explain how this works? Looks like we used to have `vflr_task` but this will not be needed anymore with the per interface task which I suppose could do the same work?

There is no dependent work.

sys/net/iflib.c
6401–6402	Uh, I'm sorry, I don't know what I was thinking. I changed iflib_iov_intr_deferred to enqueue a task to admin taskqueue but this task is never initialized. I need to fix that. Thanks for pointing this out.

Add forgotten task init for IFLIB_INTR_IOV soft irq type.

sys/net/iflib.c
5292	Prefix name with `if_`
6401–6402	Does this need cleanup of the taskqueue?

Prefix taskqueue name with 'if_'.

sys/net/iflib.c
6339	gtask is used below: info->ifi_task = gtask; but I guess I can add initialization to NULL in the declaration instead. Is that what you mean?
6401–6402	Do you mean something more elaborate than taskqueue_free in iflib_device_deregister?
