e1000: Enable TSO for lem(4) and em(4)
Most em(4) devices now enjoy TSO and TSO6, matching NetBSD and Linux
defaults.
A prior commit automasks TSO on 10/100 Ethernet due to errata and other
bugs for IPv6 were fixed recently allowing this.
Mike Karels identified a performance anomaly on Intel 82574L devices.
These are multiqueue enabled on FreeBSD since the conversion to
iflib. I am investigating whether this can be fixed, in the mean time
MSI-X with checksum offloads remain default.
i219 SPT devices have an errata that downclocks the DMA engine, which
results in TSO not being able to acheive line rate. Therefore, it is
disabled on:
* Intel(R) I219-LM and I219-V SPT
* Intel(R) I219-LM and I219-V SPT-H (2)
* Intel(R) I219-LM and I219-V LBG (3)
* Intel(R) I219-LM and I219-V SPT (4)
* Intel(R) I219-LM and I219-V SPT (5)
Many lem(4) devices enjoy TSO, exceptions being 82542, 82543, 82547.
TSO6 may be possible for some chipsets but I am still working through
my testing matrix and that is hidden behind hw.em.unsupported_tso.
If you encounter issues, you may disable TSO with for example:
ifconfig em0 -tso -tso6.
I ask to be informed of any deviations from normal operation requiring
this.
Thanks to cc@ for access to emulab.net.
On a sample I219 system it saves about 16% CPU on IPv4 and 19% on IPv6.
