A possible case is we do have rx data but guest does not refill the rx
queue. In this case we may lose notifications from guest.
Yes, should consider this case. thanks.
I'm a bit confused. Isn't this covered by the previous
"else if (sock && sk_has_rx_data(...))" block?
The problem is it does nothing if vhost_vq_avail_empty() is true and
vhost_enble_notify() is false.

No need to enable rx virtqueue, if we are sure handle_rx() will be
called soon.
If we disable rx virtqueue in handle_tx and don't send packets from
guest anymore(handle_tx is not called), so we can wake up for sock rx.
so the network is broken.
Not sure I understand here. I mean is we schedule work for handle_rx(),
there's no need to enable it since handle_rx() will do this for us.
Looks like in the last "else" block in vhost_net_busy_poll_check() we
need to enable vq since in that case we have no rx data and handle_rx()
is not scheduled.
Yes.
So we will use the vhost_has_work() to check whether or not the
handle_rx is scheduled ?
If we use the vhost_has_work(), the work in the dev work_list may be
rx work, or tx work, right ?
Yes. We can add a boolean to record whether or not we've called
vhost_poll_queue() for rvq. And avoid calling vhost_net_enable_vq() if
it was true.
so, the commit be294a51a "vhost_net: Avoid rx queue wake-ups during busypoll"
may not consider the case: work is tx work in the dev work list.
So two kinds of work, tx kick or tx wakeup.
For tx kick, we check vhost_vq_avail_empty() and avoid unnecessary kicks
by not enabling kick if we found something is pending on txq. For tx
wakeup, yes, the commit does not consider it. And that's why we want to
disable tx wakeups during busy polling.
Thanks
So here's the needed changes:
1) Split the wakeup disabling to another patch
2) Squash the vhost_net_busy_poll_try_queue() and
vhost_net_busy_poll_check() into vhost_net_busy_poll() and reduce
duplicated checks.
3) If possible, rename the boolean rx in vhost_net_busy_poll() to
poll_rx, this makes code more readable.
OK
Thanks
Thanks
