xcalls - mpstat vs dtrace
HI, T5220, S10U4 + patches mdb -k > ::memstat While above is working (takes some time, ideally ::memstat -n 4 to use 4 threads could be useful) mpstat 1 shows: CPU minf mjf xcal intr ithr csw icsw migr smtx srw syscl usr sys wt idl 48 0 0 1922112 9 0 0 8 0 0 0 15254 6 94 0 0 So about 2mln xcalls per second. Let''s check with dtrace: dtrace -n sysinfo:::xcalls''{@=count();}'' -n tick-1s''{printa(@);clear(@);}''...

Hwo to disable the polling function of mac_srs
In crossbow, each mac_srs has a kernel thread called "mac_rx_srs_poll_ring" to poll the hardware and crossbow will wakeup this thread to poll packets from the hardware automatically. Does crossbow provide any method to disable the polling mechanism, for example disabling the this kernel thread?

how to debug context switching and mutex contentions?
I''m looking for a suggestion on a good way to hunt down the source of high context switching and mutex contentions... Is dtrace the way to go now, or should I stick with something like lockstat?

gzip compression throttles system?
I just had a quick play with gzip compression on a filesystem and the result was the machine grinding to a halt while copying some large (.wav) files to it from another filesystem in the same pool. The system became very unresponsive, taking several seconds to echo keystrokes. The box is a maxed out AMD QuadFX, so it should have plenty of grunt for this. Comments? Ian

I/O bottleneck Root cause identification w Dtrace ?? (controller or IO bus)
...ources consumed on the IO side*/ of things. For the cpu, memory, kernel, etc.. I can see where there is contention and utilization, etc.. For the Network NIC''s, I know the general thresholds for pegging a "ce", etc.. and what it looks like from lockstat, interrupts, and kernel icsw, etc.. when that happens. /***However**, for the IO subsystem, HOW can I determine when either a Controller OR the IO bus is Saturated ?? *(what specifically would the lockstat contention look like ?, where spinning and on which system calls, etc..) I know that for IO contention in general.....

Occasional storm of xcalls on segkmem_zio_free
...pretty much idle, only receiving a bunch of multicast video streams and dumping them to the drives (at a rate of ~40MB/s). At an interval of roughly 1-2 minutes I get a storm of xcalls that completely eat one of the CPUs, so the mpstat line for the CPU looks like: CPU minf mjf xcal intr ithr csw icsw migr smtx srw syscl usr sys wt idl 31 0 0 102191 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 100 0 0 100% busy in the system processing cross-calls.
