This is a note to let you know that I have just added a patch titled net/mlx4_en: Schedule napi when RX buffers allocation fails to the linux-3.16.y-queue branch of the 3.16.y-ckt extended stable tree which can be found at: http://kernel.ubuntu.com/git/ubuntu/linux.git/log/?h=linux-3.16.y-queue This patch is scheduled to be released in version 3.16.7-ckt12. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to this tree, please reply to this email. For more information about the 3.16.y-ckt tree, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/Dev/ExtendedStable Thanks. -Luis ------ From ddef2b7f77d0ce1403ea97907af12cd3ccd0ae4e Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Ido Shamay <idos@mellanox.com> Date: Thu, 30 Apr 2015 17:32:46 +0300 Subject: net/mlx4_en: Schedule napi when RX buffers allocation fails commit 07841f9d94c11afe00c0498cf242edf4075729f4 upstream. When system is out of memory, refilling of RX buffers fails while the driver continue to pass the received packets to the kernel stack. At some point, when all RX buffers deplete, driver may fall into a sleep, and not recover when memory for new RX buffers is once again availible. This is because hardware does not have valid descriptors, so no interrupt will be generated for the driver to return to work in napi context. Fix it by schedule the napi poll function from stats_task delayed workqueue, as long as the allocations fail.
