Bug ID: 237166
Summary: vmx(4) override_ntxds/nrxds tunable has no effect
Product: Base System
Version: 12.0-STABLE
Hardware: amd64
OS: Any
Status: New
Severity: Affects Only Me
Priority: ---
Component: kern
Assignee: b...@freebsd.org
Reporter: ncrog...@gmail.com
Since the MFC of r343291 to 12-STABLE in r344027 (Convert vmx(4) to being an
iflib driver.), I am no longer able to increase the number of tx/rx descriptors
via the usual iflib sysctls.
For example the following loader.conf:
dev.vmx.0.iflib.override_ntxqs=2
dev.vmx.0.iflib.override_nrxqs=2
dev.vmx.0.iflib.override_ntxds=4096
dev.vmx.0.iflib.override_nrxds=2048
Yields bootup messages:

Apr 9 10:03:22 rxg kernel: vmx0: link state changed to UP
Notice that ntxqs/nrxqs is decreased from the default of 8 (or lower of number
of CPU cores), however ntxd/nrxd remains the default.
