I was working on the spurios interrupt problem and
I noticed something weird.
static int virtnet_poll_tx(struct napi_struct *napi, int budget)
{
struct send_queue *sq = container_of(napi, struct send_queue, napi);
struct virtnet_info *vi = sq->vq->vdev->priv;
unsigned int index = vq2txq(sq->vq);
struct netdev_queue *txq;
if (unlikely(is_xdp_raw_buffer_queue(vi, index))) {
/* We don't need to enable cb for XDP */
napi_complete_done(napi, 0);
return 0;
}
txq = netdev_get_tx_queue(vi->dev, index);
__netif_tx_lock(txq, raw_smp_processor_id());
free_old_xmit_skbs(sq, true);
__netif_tx_unlock(txq);
virtqueue_napi_complete(napi, sq->vq, 0);
if (sq->vq->num_free >= 2 + MAX_SKB_FRAGS)
netif_tx_wake_queue(txq);
return 0;
}
So virtqueue_napi_complete is called when txq is not locked,
thinkably start_xmit can happen right?
Now virtqueue_napi_complete
static void virtqueue_napi_complete(struct napi_struct *napi,
struct virtqueue *vq, int processed)
{
int opaque;
opaque = virtqueue_enable_cb_prepare(vq);
if (napi_complete_done(napi, processed)) {
if (unlikely(virtqueue_poll(vq, opaque)))
virtqueue_napi_schedule(napi, vq);
} else {
virtqueue_disable_cb(vq);
}
}
So it is calling virtqueue_enable_cb_prepare but tx queue
could be running and can process things in parallel ...
What gives? I suspect this corrupts the ring, and explains
why we are seeing weird hangs with vhost packed ring ...
