Subject: [PATCH] rtl8139: flush queued packets when RxBufPtr is written
|
|
|
|
Net queues support efficient "receive disable". For example, tap's file
|
|
descriptor will not be polled while its peer has receive disabled. This
|
|
saves CPU cycles for needlessly copying and then dropping packets which
|
|
the peer cannot receive.
|
|
|
|
rtl8139 is missing the qemu_flush_queued_packets() call that wakes the
|
|
queue up when receive becomes possible again.
|
|
|
|
As a result, the Windows 7 guest driver reaches a state where the
|
|
rtl8139 cannot receive packets. The driver has actually refilled the
|
|
receive buffer but we never resume reception.
|
|
|
|
The bug can be reproduced by running a large FTP 'get' inside a Windows
|
|
7 guest:
|
|
|
|
$ qemu -netdev tap,id=tap0,...
|
|
-device rtl8139,netdev=tap0
|
|
|
|
The Linux guest driver does not trigger the bug, probably due to a
|
|
different buffer management strategy.
