Before this change the transmit taskqueue would enqueue itself when it
cannot find space on the NIC ring with the hope that eventually space
would be made. This results in the following livelock that only occurs
after passing ~200Gbps of TCP traffic for many hours:
100% CPU
┌───────────┐wait on ┌──────────┐ ┌───────────┐
│user thread│ cpu │gve xmit │wait on │gve cleanup│
│with mbuf ├────────►│taskqueue ├────────►│taskqueue │
│uma lock │ │ │ NIC ring│ │
└───────────┘ └──────────┘ space └─────┬─────┘
▲ │
│ wait on mbuf uma lock │
└───────────────────────────────────────────┘
Further details about the livelock are available on
https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=281560.
After this change, the transmit taskqueue no longer spins till there is
room on the NIC ring. It instead stops itself and lets the
completion-processing taskqueue wake it up.
Since I'm touching the trasnmit taskqueue I've also corrected the name
of a counter and also fixed a bug where EINVAL mbufs were not being
freed and were instead living forever on the bufring.

FreeBSD Source:
This is the top level of the FreeBSD source directory.
FreeBSD is an operating system used to power modern servers, desktops, and embedded platforms. A large community has continually developed it for more than thirty years. Its advanced networking, security, and storage features have made FreeBSD the platform of choice for many of the busiest web sites and most pervasive embedded networking and storage devices.
For copyright information, please see the file COPYRIGHT in this directory. Additional copyright information also exists for some sources in this tree - please see the specific source directories for more information.
The Makefile in this directory supports a number of targets for building components (or all) of the FreeBSD source tree. See build(7), config(8), FreeBSD handbook on building userland, and Handbook for kernels for more information, including setting make(1) variables.
For information on the CPU architectures and platforms supported by FreeBSD, see the FreeBSD website's Platforms page.
