New Revision: 270334
URL: http://svnweb.freebsd.org/changeset/base/270334

Log:
  MFC r268481:
  
    Rework when the Tx queue completion interrupt is enabled
  
    The Tx interrupt is now kept disabled in the common case, only
    enabled when the number of free descriptors in the queue falls
    below a threshold. Transmitted frames are cleared from the VQ
    before subsequent transmit, or in the watchdog timer.
  
    This was a very big performance improvement for an experimental
    Netmap bhyve backend.
