Subject: [PATCH] net/mana: fix Tx stall from send queue free-space unit mismatch
Date: Mon, 14 Sep 2026 13:58:08 +0300 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260914105809.919580-1-rita.ruvinsky@weka.io> (raw)
gdma_post_work_request() subtracted a unit count from an entry count:
queue_free_units = queue->count - (queue->head - queue->tail);
queue->count is in entries, while head and tail are in WQE alignment
units. On a 512-entry, 128KB send queue the check saw 512 units of
capacity instead of queue->size / GDMA_WQE_ALIGNMENT_UNIT_SIZE = 4096,
and returned -EBUSY with the queue one eighth full. A workload that
fills that window faster than it drains makes rte_eth_tx_burst() return
0 for long enough to look like a dead port.
Derive the capacity from queue->size, which is also what the ring wrap
in gdma_get_wqe_pointer() uses. Rx is unaffected: its WQEs occupy
exactly one unit, so entries and units coincide.
Fixes: 56dd45c0ce7b ("net/mana: implement hardware layer operations")

Independent of patchwork 167383 and 167384 (net/mana MR length
truncation / Rx WQE double free) from the same author, currently in
awaiting-upstream: this touches gdma.c only and applies cleanly with or
without them.
