From df8d07081718c29d04d106583d9c300128686cda Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Laurent Vivier Date: Thu, 20 Oct 2022 11:58:45 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] virtio-net: fix bottom-half packet TX on asynchronous completion When virtio-net is used with the socket netdev backend, the backend can be busy and not able to collect new packets. In this case, net_socket_receive() returns 0 and registers a poll function to detect when the socket is ready again. In virtio_net_tx_bh(), virtio_net_flush_tx() forwards the 0, the virtio notifications are disabled and the function is not re-scheduled, waiting for the backend to be ready. When the socket netdev backend is again able to send packets, the poll function re-starts to flush remaining packets. This is done by calling virtio_net_tx_complete(). It re-enables notifications and calls again virtio_net_flush_tx(). But it seems if virtio_net_flush_tx() reaches the tx_burst value all the queue is not flushed and no new notification is sent to re-schedule virtio_net_tx_bh(). Nothing re-start to flush the queue and remaining packets are stuck in the queue. To fix that, detect in virtio_net_tx_complete() if virtio_net_flush_tx() has been stopped by tx_burst and if yes re-schedule the bottom half function virtio_net_tx_bh() to flush the remaining packets. This is what is done in virtio_net_tx_bh() when the virtio_net_flush_tx() is synchronous, and completly by-passed when the operation needs to be asynchronous.
