I just realized when answering Ma's mail that this doesn't cause the desired effect after Paul's flow control improvement: starting the queue doesn't drop the packets which cannot fit the ring. Which in fact might be not good. We are adding the skb to vif->rx_queue even when xenvif_rx_ring_slots_available(vif, min_slots_needed) said there is no space for that. Or am I missing something?

If those packets came from an another guest, it can block its slots and prevent shutdown. To avoid that, we make sure the queue is drained in every 10 seconds. ... diff --git a/drivers/net/xen-netback/interface.c b/drivers/net/xen-netback/interface.c index 95fcd63..ce032f9 100644 --- a/drivers/net/xen-netback/interface.c +++ b/drivers/net/xen-netback/interface.c @@ -114,6 +114,16 @@ static irqreturn_t xenvif_interrupt(int irq, void *dev_id) return IRQ_HANDLED; } +static void xenvif_wake_queue(unsigned long data) +{ + struct xenvif *vif = (struct xenvif *)data; + + if (netif_queue_stopped(vif->dev)) { + netdev_err(vif->dev, "draining TX queue\n"); + netif_wake_queue(vif->dev); + } +} + static int xenvif_start_xmit(struct sk_buff *skb, struct net_device *dev) { struct xenvif *vif = netdev_priv(dev); @@ -143,8 +153,13 @@ static int xenvif_start_xmit(struct sk_buff *skb, struct net_device *dev) * then turn off the queue to give the ring a chance to * drain. */ - if (!xenvif_rx_ring_slots_available(vif, min_slots_needed)) + if (!xenvif_rx_ring_slots_available(vif, min_slots_needed)) { + vif->wake_queue.function = xenvif_wake_queue; + vif->wake_queue.data = (unsigned long)vif; xenvif_stop_queue(vif); + mod_timer(&vif->wake_queue, + jiffies + rx_drain_timeout_jiffies); + } skb_queue_tail(&vif->rx_queue, skb); xenvif_kick_thread(vif); _______________________________________________ Xen-devel mailing list Xen-devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.xen.org/xen-devel
