From: Souradeep Chakrabarti <[email protected]>
When unloading the MANA driver, mana_dealloc_queues() waits for the MANA
hardware to complete any inflight packets and set the pending send count
to zero. But if the hardware has failed, mana_dealloc_queues()
could wait forever.
Fix this by adding a timeout to the wait. Set the timeout to 120 seconds,
which is a somewhat arbitrary value that is more than long enough for
functional hardware to complete any sends.

This is not in NAPI context, so it should be dev_consume_skb_any()

120 seconds by 2 msec step is 60000 iterations, by 1 msec is 120000
iterations. I know usleep_range() often is much less precise, but still.
Do you really need that much time? Has this been measured during the
tests that it can take up to 120 seconds or is it just some random value
that "should be enough"?
If you really need 120 seconds, I'd suggest using a timer / delayed work
instead of wasting resources.

This is present from the day zero of the mana driver code.
It has not been introduced in the code by any commit.

Here the intent is not waiting for 120 seconds, rather than avoid continue checking the
pending_sends of each tx queues for an indefinite time, before freeing sk_buffs.
The pending_sends can only get decreased for a tx queue, if mana_poll_tx_cq()
gets called for a completion notification and increased by xmit.
In this particular bug, apc->port_is_up is not set to false, causing
xmit to keep increasing the pending_sends for the queue and mana_poll_tx_cq()
not getting called for the queue.
If we see the comment in the function mana_dealloc_queues(), it mentions it :
2346 /* No packet can be transmitted now since apc->port_is_up is false.
2347 * There is still a tiny chance that mana_poll_tx_cq() can re-enable
2348 * a txq because it may not timely see apc->port_is_up being cleared
2349 * to false, but it doesn't matter since mana_start_xmit() drops any
2350 * new packets due to apc->port_is_up being false.
The value 120 seconds has been decided here based on maximum number of queues
are allowed in this specific hardware, it is a safe assumption.

mana_txq structure does not have a pointer to mana_cq.

I agree. Also, this waiting time is usually much shorter than 120 sec. The long
wait only happens in rare and unexpected NIC HW non-responding cases. To
further reduce the resource consumption, we can double the usleep_range()
time in every iteration. So, the number of iterations will be greatly reduced
before reaching 120 sec.

This is quite opposite to what you're saying above. How should I connect
these two:
Here the intent is not waiting for 120 seconds
+
The value 120 seconds has been decided here based on maximum number of
queues
?
Can cleaning the Tx queues really last for 120 seconds?
My understanding is that timeouts need to be sensible and not go to the
outer space. What is the medium value you got during the tests?

For each queue each takes few milli second, in a normal condition. So
based on maximum number of allowed queues for our h/w it won't
go beyond a sec.
The 120s only happens rarely during some NIC HW issue -unexpected.
So this timeout will only trigger in a very rare scenario.

So set the timeout to 2 seconds if it makes no difference?
