When the packet is sent out normally, we frees it in netvsc_send() if it's copied to send-buffer. The free is done in netvsc_send(), because the copy is also in this function. If it's not copied, it will be freed in another function -- netvsc_xmit_completion(). netvsc_start_xmit() only does free skb in error case. > btw, I find during netvsc_start_xmit(), ret was change to -ENOSPC when > queue_sends[q_idx] < 1. But non of the caller check -ENOSPC in fact? In this case, we don't request re-send, so set ret to a value other than -EAGAIN. It's handled in the same way as errors != -EAGAIN, so we don't need to check this value specifically. Thanks, - Haiyang

This is not true since only txq was stopped which means only network stack stop sending packets but not for control path e.g rndis_filter_send_request() or other callers who call vmbus_sendpacket() directly (e.g recv completion). For control path, user may meet several errors when they want to change mac address under heavy load. What's more serious is netvsc_send_recv_completion(), it can not even recover from more than 3 times of EAGAIN. I must say mixing data packets with control packets with the same channel sounds really scary. Since control packets could be blocked or even dropped because of data packets already queued during heavy load, and you need to synchronize two paths carefully (e.g I didn't see any tx lock were held if rndis_filter_send_request() call netsc_send() which may stop or start a queue). > If in really rare case, the ring buffer is full and there > is no outstanding sends, we can't stop queue here because there will > be no > send-completion msg to wake it up. Confused, I believe only txq is stopped but we may still get completion interrupt in this case. > And, the ring buffer is likely to be > occupied by other special msg, e.g. receive-completion msg (not a > normal case), > so we can't assume there are available slots. Then why not checking hv_ringbuf_avail_percent() instead? And there's no need to check queue_sends since it does not count recv completion. > We don't request retry from > the upper layer in this case to avoid possible busy retry. Can't we just do this by stopping txq and depending on tx interrupt to wake it?
