Subject: [PATCH 2/4] net/gve: fix DQO TX queue stall on multi-seg and TSO
Date: Mon, 12 Oct 2026 10:50:21 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261012105023.669486-3-tathagat.dpdk@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20261012105023.669486-1-tathagat.dpdk@gmail.com>

The DPDK GVE driver previously tracked transmitted packet count (re_cnt)
at the end of each burst rather than tracking descriptor intervals per
packet against GVE_TX_MIN_RE_INTERVAL (32).

In multi-segment and TSO transmissions, each packet consumes multiple
descriptors. The descriptor ring could exhaust before 32 packets were
sent, resulting in zero descriptors requesting report_event and
preventing the hardware DMA engine from returning GVE_COMPL_TYPE_DQO_DESC
completions. Without these completions, txq->nb_free was never
replenished, permanently stalling the TX queue.

Align with the Linux kernel driver (gve_tx_update_tail()) by tracking
descriptor indices with last_re_idx:
- Replace re_cnt with last_re_idx in struct gve_tx_queue.
- Reset last_re_idx = 0 in gve_reset_tx_ring_state_dqo().
- On each packet transmission, check descriptor interval
  (last_desc_idx - last_re_idx) & mask >= GVE_TX_MIN_RE_INTERVAL.
  When met, set report_event on the packet's last descriptor and
  update last_re_idx.

Fixes: 4022f9999f56 ("net/gve: support basic Tx data path for DQO")
Fixes: 403c671a46b6 ("net/gve: support TSO in DQO RDA")
