Hi Jason,

Hi all:

The code used to busy poll for cvq command which turns out to have
several side effects:

1) infinite poll for buggy devices
2) bad interaction with scheduler

So this series tries to use sleep instead of busy polling. In this
version, I take a step back: the hardening part is not implemented and
leave for future investigation. We use to aggree to use interruptible
sleep but it doesn't work for a general workqueue.

Please review.

Thanks for working on this.
My DPDK VDUSE RFC missed to set the interrupt, as Xuan Zhou highlighted
it makes the vdpa dev add/del commands to freeze:
[<0>] device_del+0x37/0x3d0
[<0>] device_unregister+0x13/0x60
[<0>] unregister_virtio_device+0x11/0x20
[<0>] device_release_driver_internal+0x193/0x200
[<0>] bus_remove_device+0xbf/0x130
[<0>] device_del+0x174/0x3d0
[<0>] device_unregister+0x13/0x60
[<0>] vdpa_nl_cmd_dev_del_set_doit+0x66/0xe0 [vdpa]
[<0>] genl_family_rcv_msg_doit.isra.0+0xb8/0x100
[<0>] genl_rcv_msg+0x151/0x290
[<0>] netlink_rcv_skb+0x54/0x100
[<0>] genl_rcv+0x24/0x40
[<0>] netlink_unicast+0x217/0x340
[<0>] netlink_sendmsg+0x23e/0x4a0
[<0>] sock_sendmsg+0x8f/0xa0
[<0>] __sys_sendto+0xfc/0x170
[<0>] __x64_sys_sendto+0x20/0x30
[<0>] do_syscall_64+0x59/0x90
[<0>] entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe+0x72/0xdc

Once fixed on DPDK side (you can use my vduse_v1 branch [0] for
testing), it works fine:

Tested-by: Maxime Coquelin <maxime.coquelin@xxxxxxxxxx>

For the potential missing interrupt with non-compliant devices, I guess
it could be handled with the hardening work as same thing could happen
if the VDUSE application crashed for example.

Regards,
Maxime

Thanks

Changes since V1:
- use RTNL to synchronize rx mode worker
- use completion for simplicity
- don't try to harden CVQ command

Changes since RFC:

- switch to use BAD_RING in virtio_break_device()
- check virtqueue_is_broken() after being woken up
- use more_used() instead of virtqueue_get_buf() to allow caller to
   get buffers afterwards
   - break the virtio-net device when timeout
   - get buffer manually since the virtio core check more_used() instead

Jason Wang (2):
   virtio-net: convert rx mode setting to use workqueue
   virtio-net: sleep instead of busy waiting for cvq command
