881.1Sozaki
891.1SozakiMP-ification of bpf requires all of bpf_mtap* are called in normal LWP context
901.1Sozakior softint context, i.e., not in hardware interrupt context.  For Tx, all
911.1Sozakibpf_mtap satisfy the requrement.  For Rx, most of bpf_mtap are called in softint.
921.1SozakiUnfortunately some bpf_mtap on Rx are still called in hardware interrupt context.
931.1Sozaki
941.1SozakiThis is the list of the functions that have such bpf_mtap:
951.1Sozaki
961.1Sozaki - sca_frame_process() @ sys/dev/ic/hd64570.c
971.1Sozaki - en_intr() @ sys/dev/ic/midway.c
981.1Sozaki - rxintr_cleanup() and txintr_cleanup() @ sys/dev/pci/if_lmc.c
991.1Sozaki - ipr_rx_data_rdy() @ sys/netisdn/i4b_ipr.c
1001.1Sozaki
1011.1SozakiIdeally we should make the functions run in softint somehow, but we don't have
1021.1Sozakiactual devices, no time (or interest/love) to work on the task, so instead we
1031.1Sozakiprovide a deferred bpf_mtap mechanism that forcibly runs bpf_mtap in softint
1041.1Sozakicontext.  It's a workaround and once the functions run in softint, we should use
1051.1Sozakithe original bpf_mtap again.
