Subject: [PATCH net-next 2/2] igb: xsk: solve underflow of nb_pkts in zerocopy mode
Date: Mon, 21 Jul 2025 16:33:43 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250721083343.16482-3-kerneljasonxing@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20250721083343.16482-1-kerneljasonxing@gmail.com>

From: Jason Xing <kernelxing@tencent.com>

There is no break time in the while() loop, so every time at the end of
igb_xmit_zc(), underflow of nb_pkts will occur, which renders the return
value always false. But theoretically, the result should be set after
calling xsk_tx_peek_release_desc_batch(). We can take i40e_xmit_zc() as
a good example.

Returning false means we're not done with transmission and we need one
more poll, which is exactly what igb_xmit_zc() always did before this
patch. After this patch, the return value depends on the nb_pkts value.
Two cases might happen then:
1. if (nb_pkts < budget), it means we process all the possible data, so
   return true and no more necessary poll will be triggered because of
   this.
2. if (nb_pkts == budget), it means we might have more data, so return
   false to let another poll run again.
