Some workloads hit the infamous dev_watchdog() message:
"NETDEV WATCHDOG: eth0 (xxxx): transmit queue XX timed out"
It seems possible to hit this even for perfectly normal
BQL enabled drivers:
1) Assume a TX queue was idle for more than dev->watchdog_timeo
(5 seconds unless changed by the driver)
2) Assume a big packet is sent, exceeding current BQL limit.
3) Driver ndo_start_xmit() puts the packet in TX ring,
and netdev_tx_sent_queue() is called.
4) QUEUE_STATE_STACK_XOFF could be set from netdev_tx_sent_queue()
before txq->trans_start has been written.
5) txq->trans_start is written later, from netdev_start_xmit()
if (rc == NETDEV_TX_OK)
txq_trans_update(txq)
dev_watchdog() running on another cpu could read the old
txq->trans_start, and then see QUEUE_STATE_STACK_XOFF, because 5)
did not happen yet.
To solve the issue, write txq->trans_start right before one XOFF bit
is set :
- _QUEUE_STATE_DRV_XOFF from netif_tx_stop_queue()
- __QUEUE_STATE_STACK_XOFF from netdev_tx_sent_queue()
From dev_watchdog(), we have to read txq->state before txq->trans_start.
Add memory barriers to enforce correct ordering.
In the future, we could avoid writing over txq->trans_start for normal
operations, and rename this field to txq->xoff_start_time.
