--- Comment #36 from Vincenzo Maffione <vmaffione@FreeBSD.org> ---
(In reply to Vincenzo Maffione from comment #35)
I would ask for advice from the Intel guys here...
I'm trying to compare stable/11 vs current, regarding how TX interrupts are
handled. It looks like in stable/11 MSI-x handlers are shared for the TX an=
d RX
queue, while in current TX interrupts are not used.
Also, in stable/11 the interrupt handler seems to do a disable_queue and th=
en
enable_queue, while on current I only see the enable_queue step
(IFDI_TX_QUEUE_INTR_ENABLE).

Therefore, in the last patch I also add the enable_queue step in the netmap
timer routine. It may be worth giving a try to see if this fixes the ixl is=
sue.
