It will be lucky if the available buffer size becomes okay after the double-check, then the host can send the packet to the guest. If the buffer size still can't satisfy the request, even if the guest has added some buffers, viritio-net would stall at the host side forever. The patch checks whether the guest has added some buffers after last check of avail idx when the available buffers are not sufficient, if so then recheck the available buffers in the loop. The patch also reverts patch "06b12970174". The case below can reproduce the stall. Guest 0 +--------+ | iperf | ---------------> | server | Host | +--------+ +--------+ | ... | iperf |---- | client |---- Guest n +--------+ | +--------+ | | iperf | ---------------> | server | +--------+ Boot many guests from qemu with virtio network: qemu ... -netdev tap,id=net_x \ -device virtio-net-pci-non-transitional,\ iommu_platform=on,mac=xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx,netdev=net_x Each guest acts as iperf server with commands below: iperf3 -s -D -i 10 -p 8001 iperf3 -s -D -i 10 -p 8002 The host as iperf client: iperf3 -c guest_IP -p 8001 -i 30 -w 256k -P 20 -t 40000 iperf3 -c guest_IP -p 8002 -i 30 -w 256k -P 20 -t 40000 After some time, the host loses connection to the guest, the guest can send packet to the host, but can't receive packet from host. It's more likely to happen if SWIOTLB is enabled in the guest, allocating and freeing bounce buffer takes some CPU ticks, copying from/to bounce buffer takes more CPU ticks, compared with that there is no bounce buffer in the guest. Once the rate of producing packets from the host approximates the rate of receiveing packets in the guest, the guest would loop in NAPI. receive packets --- | | v | free buf virtnet_poll | | v | add buf to avail ring --- | | need kick the host? | NAPI continues v receive packets --- | | v | free buf virtnet_poll | | v | add buf to avail ring --- | v ... ... On the other hand, the host fetches free buf from avail ring, if the buf in the avail ring is not enough, the host notifies the guest the event by writing the avail idx read from avail ring to the event idx of used ring, then the host goes to sleep, waiting for the kick signal from the guest. Once the guest finds the host is waiting for kick singal (in virtqueue_kick_prepare_split()), it kicks the host. The host may stall forever at the sequences below: Host Guest ------------ ----------- fetch buf, send packet receive packet --- ... ... | fetch buf, send packet add buf | ... add buf virtnet_poll buf not enough avail idx-> add buf | read avail idx add buf | add buf --- receive packet --- write event idx ... | wait for kick add buf virtnet_poll ... | --- no more packet, exit NAPI In the first loop of NAPI above, indicated in the range of virtnet_poll above, the host is sending packets while the guest is receiving packets and adding buffers. step 1: The buf is not enough, for example, a big packet needs 5 buf, but the available buf count is 3. The host read current avail idx. step 2: The guest adds some buf, then checks whether the host is waiting for kick signal, not at this time. The used ring is not empty, the guest continues the second loop of NAPI. step 3: The host writes the avail idx read from avail ring to used ring as event idx via virtio_queue_set_notification(q->rx_vq, 1). step 4: At the end of the second loop of NAPI, recheck whether kick is needed, as the event idx in the used ring written by the host is beyound the range of kick condition, the guest will not send kick signal to the host.
