The netdev qeueue might be stopped when byte queue limit has reached or tx hw ring is full, net_tx_action() may still be rescheduled endlessly if STATE_MISSED is set, which consumes a lot of cpu without dequeuing and transmiting any skb because the netdev queue is stopped, see qdisc_run_end().
This patch fixes it by checking the netdev queue state before calling qdisc_run() and clearing STATE_MISSED if netdev queue is stopped during qdisc_run(), the net_tx_action() is recheduled again when netdev qeueue is restarted, see netif_tx_wake_queue().
As there is time window betewwn netif_xmit_frozen_or_stopped() checking and STATE_MISSED clearing, between which STATE_MISSED is set by net_tx_action() scheduled by netif_tx_wake_queue(), so set the STATE_MISSED again if netdev queue is restarted.
Fixes: 6b3ba9146fe6 ("net: sched: allow qdiscs to handle locking") Reported-by: Michal Kubecek mkubecek@suse.cz Signed-off-by: Yunsheng Lin linyunsheng@huawei.com --- V7: Fix the netif_tx_wake_queue() data race noted by Jakub. V6: Drop NET_XMIT_DROP checking for it is not really relevant to this patch, and it may cause performance performance regression with multi pktgen threads on dummy netdev with pfifo_fast qdisc case. --- net/core/dev.c | 3 ++- net/sched/sch_generic.c | 27 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++- 2 files changed, 28 insertions(+), 2 deletions(-)
