Wouldn't we need a NETDUMP_END case that calls txd_flush() in case it wasn't called in the last iflib_txd_db_check()?

6102

This is the first thing that iflib_completed_tx_reclaim() does... do we need to call it here too?

sys/net/iflib.c
6063

The netdump transmit method already forces a flush after every packet.

6102

Oh, indeed. Looks like we do not - I'm not sure why I included it here.

sys/net/iflib.c
6063

Oh... is that just to simplify state, or to lower TX latency?

sys/net/iflib.c
6063

It's basically a requirement of the interface. In some cases the client code will wait for an ACK from the server after transmitting a packet. This could be changed, but as you suggested, it's simpler to just flush after each transmit.
