821.1SozakiMP-ification of bpf requires all of bpf_mtap* are called in normal LWP context
831.1Sozakior softint context, i.e., not in hardware interrupt context.  For Tx, all
841.1Sozakibpf_mtap satisfy the requrement.  For Rx, most of bpf_mtap are called in softint.
851.1SozakiUnfortunately some bpf_mtap on Rx are still called in hardware interrupt context.
861.1Sozaki
871.1SozakiThis is the list of the functions that have such bpf_mtap:
881.1Sozaki
891.1Sozaki - sca_frame_process() @ sys/dev/ic/hd64570.c
901.1Sozaki - en_intr() @ sys/dev/ic/midway.c
911.1Sozaki - rxintr_cleanup() and txintr_cleanup() @ sys/dev/pci/if_lmc.c
921.1Sozaki - ipr_rx_data_rdy() @ sys/netisdn/i4b_ipr.c
931.1Sozaki
941.1SozakiIdeally we should make the functions run in softint somehow, but we don't have
951.1Sozakiactual devices, no time (or interest/love) to work on the task, so instead we
961.1Sozakiprovide a deferred bpf_mtap mechanism that forcibly runs bpf_mtap in softint
971.1Sozakicontext.  It's a workaround and once the functions run in softint, we should use
981.1Sozakithe original bpf_mtap again.
