Summary

Don't wait until the vtnet_debugnet_init() call happens, because at that
point we might already have allocated something from
vtnet_tx_header_zone.

Some systems showed this panic:

vtnet0: link state changed to UP
panic: keg vtnet_tx_hdr initialization after use.
cpuid = 5
time = 1578427700

This seems fine to me, although I'm not super familiar with vtnet / mbufs / uma. I think it might also be reasonable for uma_zone_reserve / uma_prealloc to work on zones that have already been allocated from? Maybe I misunderstand how they work.

Hopefully Mark can take a look as well.

uma_zone_reserve() asserts that the keg is cold (no allocations done from it). I can only assume there's a good reason for that, but I can't say that I know why.

Basically because kegs now use per-domain locking, and the reservation is global. Requiring that the keg be cold ensures that you don't have to worry about synchronization.

I don't object to this change, but it has the disadvantage that it reserves memory even when debugnet is not configured on the interface. Another solution would be to address the XXX comment and introduce a separate zone specifically for debugnet.

Please go ahead and commit it for now. It prevents the obnoxious boot-time panic in vtnet related to the recent change in UMA semantics. The XXX comment is just as puntable now as it was when it was written ;-).

Sure. I will address it after this diff goes in.
