Subject: [PATCH v2] net/mana: fix Tx stall from send queue free-space unit mismatch
Date: Thu, 17 Sep 2026 09:23:50 +0300 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260917062350.1482591-1-rita.ruvinsky@weka.io> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260914105809.919580-1-rita.ruvinsky@weka.io>
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.
The size is the authoritative capacity: rdma-core derives sq_size from
sq_count as align_hw_size(max_send_wr * get_wqe_size(max_send_sge)), and
the kernel mana driver computes the same limit in bytes in
mana_gd_wq_avail_space(). Derive it 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.
Also report the size and computed free space in the -EBUSY debug line,
since queue->count no longer takes part in the decision.

v2:
- comment states the invariant rather than the old bug (Stephen Hemminger)
- report queue->size and the computed free space in the -EBUSY debug line
(Stephen Hemminger, Wei Hu)
- reference mana_gd_wq_avail_space() in the commit message (Stephen Hemminger)
