But once I removed the heuristic exponential backoff/retry for vnet_send_ack(), I'm freqently not able to send any DRING_STOPPED messages, and that seems to freeze all access even over the switch-port to the VM (even though, afaict, netif_stop_queue has not been called. If we can't send the LDC ack from vnet_event, we need to reset this peer, but vio_conn_reset() is a no-op. Recovering from here is going to be quite sticky. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe sparclinux" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
