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.
