half network speed after upgrading

stephenw10

Hmm, I'd try disabling TSO4 and LRO as a first step there. Those are both normally disabled by default in Sys > Adv > Networking.

High_bounce

both are already checked in the Adv settings. should i try unchecking then rechecking in the UI?

stephenw10

Yes, try that. Though that may require you to reboot.

Otherwise you should be able to manually disable them using ifconfig like:

ifconfig cxl0 -tso4

Unfortunately the syntax there can be confusing and I don't have anything setup right now to check.

High_bounce

no changes with the radio buttons or ifconfig. ifconfig gets reset after reboot so maybe needs to be set in a config file

stephenw10

Disabling those options using ifconfig doesn't work? Or it doesn't make any difference to throughput?

High_bounce

it changes the options for the interface but no change in throughput. also i changed boot environment back to 22.05 to check for differences i found a few i have no idea if they make a difference:

boot logs
23.01 8 txq/rxq, 22 MSI-X, 46eq, 21iq
22.05 4 txq/rxq, 14 MSI-X, 30eq, 13iq

ifconfig looks all the same but 23.01 has an option called "NOMAP" i am not sure what it means and cant find anything online about it

stephenw10

NOMAP is to allow unmapped mbufs. I don't expect it to make any difference but I can't find any way to disable it! It looks like you should be able to ifconfig cxl0 -nomap but that doesn't work for me.

You can almost certainly tune the queues back to 4x in the sysctls/tunables but it's hard to imagine that would help. 22 MSI-X interrupts.... I couldn't say but again it's hard to see how more would be worse.

If you run top -HaSP during a test do you see the loading spread across the cores correctly?

High_bounce

no change in cpu utilisation im still at a lost as to cause are you able to replicate on your end?

stephenw10

I don't have a Chelsio 10GBase-T NIC to test with unfortunately. But I haven't seen anything like that on any other NICs.

High_bounce

no worries i just switch to an old intel x540-t2 should be fine until i upgrade the rest of my network to multi-gig thank you for all your help. i hope it gets fixed at some point i have always herd that Chelsio nics were the best with bsd maybe that is changing now
