jch updated subscribers of D17910: netmap: automatically disable some capabilities over vlan interface.

I'm sorry, but as a design decision for netmap we never automatically change interface features/offloading automatically and restore them.
We require the application or the system administrator to do so explicitely.
In any case this must be discussed with the upstream project https://github.com/luigirizzo/netmap

[snip]
I think you slightly misread my comment. It was not so much that I am concerned that there is a pathological case in theory (clearly those exist all over the place), it's that in practical use this could shift the watermark on allocated inpcbs substantially in some real-world workloads, and that it would be good to seek some testing from who work with such workloads, which differ substantially from the target workload for this work (as I understand it). In the past, work on who connections/sec support has been primarily driven by the folk at Verisign doing top-level domain hosting, and who have a good test setup for that. I wonder if they'd be willing to give this a spin and in particular look for evidence of impact on connections/sec to make sure that this doesn't lead to a substantive decrease (and ideally instead leads to an increase) in connection throughput.

It seems unlikely that a 2ms backlog of inpcbs could alter the connection rate, vs new connections not blocking on callouts and all the various points that acquire an info read lock. Verisign has not been responsive of late, but if they're willing to test that would be an interesting data point.

jch added a comment to D7042: When a callout is being run and scheduled at the same time, callout_stop() would only unschedule the scheduled one, but will not drain the running one..

I would not agree that there is API change for callout_stop(). Let's look into the manual page:
...

The problem is that the whole paradigm of callouts is that it has three consequent states: not scheduled -> scheduled -> running -> not scheduled. The API and the manual page assume that, some comments in the code assume that, and looks like some contributors to the code also did. But this paradigm isn't true. A callout can be scheduled and running at the same time. And the mishandling of this state was the source of our TCP panics. Now let's get back to the documentation and see what should callout_stop() return if callout is scheduled and running at the same time. It should return 0 because callout is currently being serviced and can't be stopped. At the same time it should return 1, since it has successfully unscheduled a callout. So it must be 0 and 1 at the same time! :) Yep, which is impossible. The API is limited by wrong paradigm and we must select the most safe value between these two. Now, I assert that returning 1 is much less safe in this case. Because any properly designed user of the API will be ready to free resources that are now in use by running callout. This is exactly what happened with TCP. Any other user, use it async version or not, is also prone to panic if we return 1. I assert that returning 0 will make behaviour more safe, and won't break any users, since this is what a sane programmer would expect from API. To finalize, I would notice that this state of running+scheduled in practice is extremely rare, if we noticed it only now at above 50 Gbit/s. So, I'm strongly against limiting the behavior only to async version.

jch added a comment to D7042: When a callout is being run and scheduled at the same time, callout_stop() would only unschedule the scheduled one, but will not drain the running one..

callout_stop() should return 0 when the callout is currently being serviced and indeed unstoppable.

I think this approach will add extra complications to the code.

I suggest to use:

static void
dummy_drain(void *arg)
{
}

ret = callout_async_drain(co, &dummy_drain, NULL);

Which is basically what you want and allow callout_async_drain() to update the callback function if called multiple times.

Instead of:

ret = callout_stop()

In this case. It returns the correct value for the client.

If callout_stop() always return 0 in the MPSAFE cc_exec_curr == c, it breaks the callout API possibly with out-of-the-tree code which we don't control.

I am indeed for adding callout_drain_async() as this is exactly what we are doing with TCP timer callouts in HEAD, stable/10 and releng/10.2, but it is currently done using callout_stop()/callout_reset() in a non simple way instead of using directly callout_drain_async().
