      xen-netback: Fix Rx stall due to race condition · 9ab9831b
      Zoltan Kiss 提交于
      The recent patch to fix receive side flow control
      (11b57f90: xen-netback: stop vif thread
      spinning if frontend is unresponsive) solved the spinning thread problem,
      however caused an another one. The receive side can stall, if:
      - [THREAD] xenvif_rx_action sets rx_queue_stopped to true
      - [INTERRUPT] interrupt happens, and sets rx_event to true
      - [THREAD] then xenvif_kthread sets rx_event to false
      - [THREAD] rx_work_todo doesn't return true anymore
      
      Also, if interrupt sent but there is still no room in the ring, it take quite a
      long time until xenvif_rx_action realize it. This patch ditch that two variable,
      and rework rx_work_todo. If the thread finds it can't fit more skb's into the
      ring, it saves the last slot estimation into rx_last_skb_slots, otherwise it's
      kept as 0. Then rx_work_todo will check if:
      - there is something to send to the ring (like before)
      - there is space for the topmost packet in the queue
      
      I think that's more natural and optimal thing to test than two bool which are
      set somewhere else.
