The RX rings have a producer index owned by hardware, where newly received frame buffers are placed, and a consumer index owned by software, where newly allocated buffers are placed, in expectation of hardware being able to place frame data in them. Hardware increments the producer index when a frame is received, however it is not allowed to increment the producer index to match the consumer index (RBCIR) since the ring can hold at most RBLENR[LENGTH]-1 received BDs. Whenever the producer index matches the value of the consumer index, the ring has no unprocessed received frames and all BDs in the ring have been initialized/prepared by software, i.e. hardware owns all BDs in the ring. The code uses the next_to_clean variable to keep track of the producer index, and the next_to_use variable to keep track of the consumer index. The RX rings are seeded from enetc_refill_rx_ring, which is called from two places: 1. initially the ring is seeded until full with enetc_bd_unused(rx_ring), i.e. with 511 buffers. This will make next_to_clean=0 and next_to_use=511: .ndo_open -> enetc_open -> enetc_setup_bdrs -> enetc_setup_rxbdr -> enetc_refill_rx_ring 2. then during the data path processing, it is refilled with 16 buffers at a time: enetc_msix -> napi_schedule -> enetc_poll -> enetc_clean_rx_ring -> enetc_refill_rx_ring There is just one problem: the initial seeding done during .ndo_open updates just the producer index (ENETC_RBPIR) with 0, and the software next_to_clean and next_to_use variables. Notably, it will not update the consumer index to make the hardware aware of the newly added buffers. Wait, what? So how does it work? Well, the reset values of the producer index and of the consumer index of a ring are both zero. As per the description in the second paragraph, it means that the ring is full of buffers waiting for hardware to put frames in them, which by coincidence is almost true, because we have in fact seeded 511 buffers into the ring. But will the hardware attempt to access the 512th entry of the ring, which has an invalid BD in it? Well, no, because in order to do that, it would have to first populate the first 511 entries, and the NAPI enetc_poll will kick in by then. Eventually, after 16 processed slots have become available in the RX ring, enetc_clean_rx_ring will call enetc_refill_rx_ring and then will [ finally ] update the consumer index with the new software next_to_use variable. From now on, the next_to_clean and next_to_use variables are in sync with the producer and consumer ring indices. So the day is saved, right? Well, not quite. Freeing the memory allocated for the rings is done in: enetc_close -> enetc_clear_bdrs -> enetc_clear_rxbdr -> this just disables the ring -> enetc_free_rxtx_rings -> enetc_free_rx_ring -> sets next_to_clean and next_to_use to 0 but again, nothing is committed to the hardware producer and consumer indices (yay!). The assumption is that the ring is disabled, so the indices don't matter anyway, and it's the responsibility of the "open" code path to set those up. .. Except that the "open" code path does not set those up properly. While initially, things almost work, during subsequent enetc_close -> enetc_open sequences, we have problems. To be precise, the enetc_open that is subsequent to enetc_close will again refill the ring with 511 entries, but it will leave the consumer index untouched. Untouched means, of course, equal to the value it had before disabling the ring and draining the old buffers in enetc_close. But as mentioned, enetc_setup_rxbdr will at least update the producer index though, through this line of code: enetc_rxbdr_wr(hw, idx, ENETC_RBPIR, 0); so at this stage we'll have: next_to_clean=0 (in hardware 0) next_to_use=511 (in hardware we'll have the refill index prior to enetc_close) Again, the next_to_clean and producer index are in sync and set to correct values, so the driver manages to limp on. Eventually, 16 ring entries will be consumed by enetc_poll, and the savior enetc_clean_rx_ring will come and call enetc_refill_rx_ring, and then update the hardware consumer ring based upon the new next_to_use. So.. it works? Well, by coincidence, it almost does, but there's a circumstance where enetc_clean_rx_ring won't be there to save us. If the previous value of the consumer index was 15, there's a problem, because the NAPI poll sequence will only issue a refill when 16 or more buffers have been consumed. It's easiest to illustrate this with an example: ip link set eno0 up ip addr add 192.168.100.1/24 dev eno0 ping 192.168.100.1 -c 20 # ping this port from another board ip link set eno0 down ip link set eno0 up ping 192.168.100.1 -c 20 # ping it again from the same other board One by one: 1. ip link set eno0 up -> calls enetc_setup_rxbdr: -> calls enetc_refill_rx_ring(511 buffers) -> next_to_clean=0 (in hw 0) -> next_to_use=511 (in hw 0) 2. ping 192.168.100.1 -c 20 # ping this port from another board enetc_clean_rx_ring: rx_frm_cnt=1 cleaned_cnt=1 next_to_clean 0 (in hw 1) next_to_use 511 (in hw 0) enetc_clean_rx_ring: rx_frm_cnt=1 cleaned_cnt=2 next_to_clean 1 (in hw 2) next_to_use 511 (in hw 0) enetc_clean_rx_ring: rx_frm_cnt=1 cleaned_cnt=3 next_to_clean 2 (in hw 3) next_to_use 511 (in hw 0) enetc_clean_rx_ring: rx_frm_cnt=1 cleaned_cnt=4 next_to_clean 3 (in hw 4) next_to_use 511 (in hw 0) enetc_clean_rx_ring: rx_frm_cnt=1 cleaned_cnt=5 next_to_clean 4 (in hw 5) next_to_use 511 (in hw 0) enetc_clean_rx_ring: rx_frm_cnt=1 cleaned_cnt=6 next_to_clean 5 (in hw 6) next_to_use 511 (in hw 0) enetc_clean_rx_ring: rx_frm_cnt=1 cleaned_cnt=7 next_to_clean 6 (in hw 7) next_to_use 511 (in hw 0) enetc_clean_rx_ring: rx_frm_cnt=1 cleaned_cnt=8 next_to_clean 7 (in hw 8) next_to_use 511 (in hw 0) enetc_clean_rx_ring: rx_frm_cnt=1 cleaned_cnt=9 next_to_clean 8 (in hw 9) next_to_use 511 (in hw 0) enetc_clean_rx_ring: rx_frm_cnt=1 cleaned_cnt=10 next_to_clean 9 (in hw 10) next_to_use 511 (in hw 0) enetc_clean_rx_ring: rx_frm_cnt=1 cleaned_cnt=11 next_to_clean 10 (in hw 11) next_to_use 511 (in hw 0) enetc_clean_rx_ring: rx_frm_cnt=1 cleaned_cnt=12 next_to_clean 11 (in hw 12) next_to_use 511 (in hw 0) enetc_clean_rx_ring: rx_frm_cnt=1 cleaned_cnt=13 next_to_clean 12 (in hw 13) next_to_use 511 (in hw 0) enetc_clean_rx_ring: rx_frm_cnt=1 cleaned_cnt=14 next_to_clean 13 (in hw 14) next_to_use 511 (in hw 0) enetc_clean_rx_ring: rx_frm_cnt=1 cleaned_cnt=15 next_to_clean 14 (in hw 15) next_to_use 511 (in hw 0) enetc_clean_rx_ring: enetc_refill_rx_ring(16) increments next_to_use by 16 (mod 512) and writes it to hw enetc_clean_rx_ring: rx_frm_cnt=1 cleaned_cnt=0 next_to_clean 15 (in hw 16) next_to_use 15 (in hw 15) enetc_clean_rx_ring: rx_frm_cnt=1 cleaned_cnt=1 next_to_clean 16 (in hw 17) next_to_use 15 (in hw 15) enetc_clean_rx_ring: rx_frm_cnt=1 cleaned_cnt=2 next_to_clean 17 (in hw 18) next_to_use 15 (in hw 15) enetc_clean_rx_ring: rx_frm_cnt=1 cleaned_cnt=3 next_to_clean 18 (in hw 19) next_to_use 15 (in hw 15) enetc_clean_rx_ring: rx_frm_cnt=1 cleaned_cnt=4 next_to_clean 19 (in hw 20) next_to_use 15 (in hw 15) enetc_clean_rx_ring: rx_frm_cnt=1 cleaned_cnt=5 next_to_clean 20 (in hw 21) next_to_use 15 (in hw 15) enetc_clean_rx_ring: rx_frm_cnt=1 cleaned_cnt=6 next_to_clean 21 (in hw 22) next_to_use 15 (in hw 15) 20 packets transmitted, 20 packets received, 0% packet loss 3. ip link set eno0 down enetc_free_rx_ring: next_to_clean 0 (in hw 22), next_to_use 0 (in hw 15) 4. ip link set eno0 up -> calls enetc_setup_rxbdr: -> calls enetc_refill_rx_ring(511 buffers) -> next_to_clean=0 (in hw 0) -> next_to_use=511 (in hw 15) 5. ping 192.168.100.1 -c 20 # ping it again from the same other board enetc_clean_rx_ring: rx_frm_cnt=1 cleaned_cnt=1 next_to_clean 0 (in hw 1) next_to_use 511 (in hw 15) enetc_clean_rx_ring: rx_frm_cnt=1 cleaned_cnt=2 next_to_clean 1 (in hw 2) next_to_use 511 (in hw 15) enetc_clean_rx_ring: rx_frm_cnt=1 cleaned_cnt=3 next_to_clean 2 (in hw 3) next_to_use 511 (in hw 15) enetc_clean_rx_ring: rx_frm_cnt=1 cleaned_cnt=4 next_to_clean 3 (in hw 4) next_to_use 511 (in hw 15) enetc_clean_rx_ring: rx_frm_cnt=1 cleaned_cnt=5 next_to_clean 4 (in hw 5) next_to_use 511 (in hw 15) enetc_clean_rx_ring: rx_frm_cnt=1 cleaned_cnt=6 next_to_clean 5 (in hw 6) next_to_use 511 (in hw 15) enetc_clean_rx_ring: rx_frm_cnt=1 cleaned_cnt=7 next_to_clean 6 (in hw 7) next_to_use 511 (in hw 15) enetc_clean_rx_ring: rx_frm_cnt=1 cleaned_cnt=8 next_to_clean 7 (in hw 8) next_to_use 511 (in hw 15) enetc_clean_rx_ring: rx_frm_cnt=1 cleaned_cnt=9 next_to_clean 8 (in hw 9) next_to_use 511 (in hw 15) enetc_clean_rx_ring: rx_frm_cnt=1 cleaned_cnt=10 next_to_clean 9 (in hw 10) next_to_use 511 (in hw 15) enetc_clean_rx_ring: rx_frm_cnt=1 cleaned_cnt=11 next_to_clean 10 (in hw 11) next_to_use 511 (in hw 15) enetc_clean_rx_ring: rx_frm_cnt=1 cleaned_cnt=12 next_to_clean 11 (in hw 12) next_to_use 511 (in hw 15) enetc_clean_rx_ring: rx_frm_cnt=1 cleaned_cnt=13 next_to_clean 12 (in hw 13) next_to_use 511 (in hw 15) enetc_clean_rx_ring: rx_frm_cnt=1 cleaned_cnt=14 next_to_clean 13 (in hw 14) next_to_use 511 (in hw 15) 20 packets transmitted, 12 packets received, 40% packet loss And there it dies. No enetc_refill_rx_ring (because cleaned_cnt must be equal to 15 for that to happen), no nothing. The hardware enters the condition where the producer (14) + 1 is equal to the consumer (15) index, which makes it believe it has no more free buffers to put packets in, so it starts discarding them: ip netns exec ns0 ethtool -S eno0 | grep -v ': 0' NIC statistics: Rx ring 0 discarded frames: 8 Summarized, if the interface receives between 16 and 32 (mod 512) frames and then there is a link flap, then the port will eventually die with no way to recover. If it receives less than 16 (mod 512) frames, then the initial NAPI poll [ before the link flap ] will not update the consumer index in hardware (it will remain zero) which will be ok when the buffers are later reinitialized. If more than 32 (mod 512) frames are received, the initial NAPI poll has the chance to refill the ring twice, updating the consumer index to at least 32. So after the link flap, the consumer index is still wrong, but the post-flap NAPI poll gets a chance to refill the ring once (because it passes through cleaned_cnt=15) and makes the consumer index be again back in sync with next_to_use. The solution to this problem is actually simple, we just need to write next_to_use into the hardware consumer index at enetc_open time, which always brings it back in sync after an initial buffer seeding process. The simpler thing would be to put the write to the consumer index into enetc_refill_rx_ring directly, but there are issues with the MDIO locking: in the NAPI poll code we have the enetc_lock_mdio() taken from top-level and we use the unlocked enetc_wr_reg_hot, whereas in enetc_open, the enetc_lock_mdio() is not taken at the top level, but instead by each individual enetc_wr_reg, so we are forced to put an additional enetc_wr_reg in enetc_setup_rxbdr. Better organization of the code is left as a refactoring exercise.
