Re: kern/56291: XEN3_DOM0 nvme abysmal performance - very slow boot



Yes, I have the same suspicion PR/55667 started out like that until it got stuck in a hypervisor panic issue.

From the initial PR 55667 report:

	XEN3_DOM0 used to boot flawlessly on this machine. Probably the
	MSI/MSIX interrupt rework introduced the regression.
	The boot stalls after attaching ums0 to wsmouse0. Basic
	timing seems to work as the IPMI driver logs the version
	16 seconds after boot and while the system seems hung.
	This is a regression as 9.99.55 used to work fine.

So this is the second platform with DOM0 boot issues seen on both Intel and AMD cpus.

Yes, there seems to be trouble with interrupts overall.

Even without nvme the system is slow. (I had to boot with -a as the

root device was not recognized correctly - different issue):

Interrupts in a non Xen environment are at a rate of ~120. On Xen

without nvme they are around ~2100.

Seems that high interrupt rates occur with the bge driver (20 on an idle
interface (bge0), 800 on

an enabled interface (bge1))

The two files contain two sets of statistics 10 seconds apart.
I wonder if the MSIX use is the problem.
