John, apologies for the delay. I have some data to share now.
With your patch, the transmit side lock contention is all gone.
However I still see receive side contention. I have MSI/X enabled,
with one hw queue per-port.
debug.lock.prof.stats:
lock held_at
contested_from instances
e1b:rx(0) ( sys/dev/ixgbe/ixgbe.c:4314) (
sys/dev/ixgbe/ixgbe.c:4249) 6814
e2b:rx(0) ( sys/dev/ixgbe/ixgbe.c:4314) (
sys/dev/ixgbe/ixgbe.c:4249) 6962
These are from:
4297 static bool
4298 ixgbe_rxeof(struct ix_queue *que, int count)
4299 {
.....
4314 IXGBE_RX_LOCK(rxr);
and
4220 static __inline void
4221 ixgbe_rx_input(struct rx_ring *rxr, struct ifnet *ifp, struct
mbuf *m, u32 ptype)
4222 {
....
4247 IXGBE_RX_UNLOCK(rxr);
4248 (*ifp->if_input)(ifp, m);
4249 IXGBE_RX_LOCK(rxr);
So it seems like the interrupt handler is still contending with a
taskqueue handler on the receive side.
