On newer hosts that support delayed tx interrupts,
we probably don't have much to gain from orphaning
packets early.
Based on patch by Jason Wang.
Note: this will likely degrade performance for hosts without event idx
support. Various fallback options are available, including
orphaning conditionally.
Testing TBD.

I'll rework this to use virtqueue_enable_cb_delayed. virtqueue_enable_cb_delayed_prepare might be nice to reduce lock contention, but that needs to be benchmarked.> > + napi_complete(napi); > > + __netif_tx_unlock(txq); > > + if (unlikely(virtqueue_poll(sq->vq, r)) && > > + napi_schedule_prep(napi)) { > > + virtqueue_disable_cb(sq->vq); > > + __napi_schedule(napi); > > + goto again; > > + } > > + } else { > > + __netif_tx_unlock(txq); > > + } > > + > > + netif_wake_subqueue(vi->dev, vq2txq(sq->vq)); > > + return sent; > > +} > > + > > #ifdef CONFIG_NET_RX_BUSY_POLL > > /* must be called with local_bh_disable()d */ > > static int virtnet_busy_poll(struct napi_struct *napi) > > @@ -814,30 +870,12 @@ static int virtnet_open(struct net_device *dev) > > if (!try_fill_recv(&vi->rq[i], GFP_KERNEL)) > > schedule_delayed_work(&vi->refill, 0); > > virtnet_napi_enable(&vi->rq[i]); > > + napi_enable(&vi->sq[i].napi); > > } > > > > return 0; > > } > > > > -static void free_old_xmit_skbs(struct send_queue *sq) > > -{ > > - struct sk_buff *skb; > > - unsigned int len; > > - struct virtnet_info *vi = sq->vq->vdev->priv; > > - struct virtnet_stats *stats = this_cpu_ptr(vi->stats); > > - > > - while ((skb = virtqueue_get_buf(sq->vq, &len)) != NULL) { > > - pr_debug("Sent skb %p\n", skb); > > - > > - u64_stats_update_begin(&stats->tx_syncp); > > - stats->tx_bytes += skb->len; > > - stats->tx_packets++; > > - u64_stats_update_end(&stats->tx_syncp); > > - > > - dev_kfree_skb_any(skb); > > - } > > -} > > - > > static int xmit_skb(struct send_queue *sq, struct sk_buff *skb) > > { > > struct skb_vnet_hdr *hdr; > > @@ -902,7 +940,9 @@ static int xmit_skb(struct send_queue *sq, struct sk_buff *skb) > > sg_set_buf(sq->sg, hdr, hdr_len); > > num_sg = skb_to_sgvec(skb, sq->sg + 1, 0, skb->len) + 1; > > } > > - return virtqueue_add_outbuf(sq->vq, sq->sg, num_sg, skb, GFP_ATOMIC); > > + > > + return virtqueue_add_outbuf(sq->vq, sq->sg, num_sg, skb, > > + GFP_ATOMIC); > > } > > > > static netdev_tx_t start_xmit(struct sk_buff *skb, struct net_device *dev) > > @@ -910,10 +950,9 @@ static netdev_tx_t start_xmit(struct sk_buff *skb, struct net_device *dev) > > struct virtnet_info *vi = netdev_priv(dev); > > int qnum = skb_get_queue_mapping(skb); > > struct send_queue *sq = &vi->sq[qnum]; > > - int err; > > + int err, qsize = virtqueue_get_vring_size(sq->vq); > > > > - /* Free up any pending old buffers before queueing new ones. */ > > - free_old_xmit_skbs(sq); > > I think we'd better keep this.
