From ec107e775d84392b35db46f6c3baa441e074042e Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Sven Auhagen Date: Wed, 11 Nov 2020 18:04:53 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] igb: avoid transmit queue timeout in xdp path Since we share the transmit queue with the network stack, it is possible that we run into a transmit queue timeout. This will reset the queue. This happens under high load when XDP is using the transmit queue pretty much exclusively. netdev_start_xmit() sets the trans_start variable of the transmit queue to jiffies which is later utilized by dev_watchdog(), so to avoid timeout, let stack know that XDP xmit happened by bumping the trans_start within XDP Tx routines to jiffies.
