Subject: [PATCH net v2] net: mana: Avoid waiting on dead HWC after device reset
Date: Fri, 30 Oct 2026 07:49:56 -0500 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261030125009.3758592-1-sahilchandna@linux.microsoft.com> (raw)
After device reset is issued due to TX drain timeout in
mana_dealloc_queues(), hardware channel (HWC) state is non-functional.
However, the driver continues to issue HWC commands (mana_disable_vport_rx,
mana_fence_rqs, mana_destroy_wq_obj) which will each wait for a
completion that never arrives.
The first such command (MANA_CONFIG_VPORT_RX) blocks for the full
hwc_timeout (60s as set by the firmware on the tested system), after
which the timeout is reduced to 1ms for subsequent commands. This
causes the calling thread to hold the RTNL lock for over 180 seconds
(120s TX drain + 60s HWC timeout), triggering hung task warnings and
blocking all other networking operations on the system.
Fix this by:
1. Replacing the sleep-based TX drain with a CQE polling approach:
disable NAPI per queue, do a final synchronous poll with retries
to collect any remaining completions, free uncompleted SKBs, and
reset the device only if sends remain unacknowledged. The device
is reset at most once per call, and not at all if an earlier reset
already marked the HWC dead. This eliminates the 120s sleep entirely.
2. Setting hwc_dead flag after a successful device reset.
3. Checking hwc_timeout and hwc_dead flag in mana_hwc_send_request()
before taking an HWC message slot and posting the WQE and returning
-ETIMEDOUT immediately without submitting commands to hardware that
cannot respond.
4. Skipping mana_fence_rqs() and the SHM channel teardown handshake

Changes in v2 :
- Add bounded wait for late TX completions before deciding that a
queue is stuck, poll the CQ up to 3 times, 100 ms apart.
- check hwc_timeout and hwc_dead before taking an HWC message slot,
not only before posting the WQE.
