From 9f5d2352fe45bee575f50f4a7131f3beee52b43f Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Qi Zhang Date: Sat, 4 May 2019 17:29:39 +0800 Subject: [PATCH] net/ixgbe: fix Tx threshold setup Tx desc's DD status is not cleaned by NIC automatically after packets have been transmitted until software refill a new packet during next loop. So when tx_free_thresh + tx_rs_thresh > nb_desc, it is possible that an outdated DD status be checked as tx_next_dd, then segment fault happen due to free a NULL mbuf pointer. Then patch fixes this issue by 1. try to adapt tx_rs_thresh to an aggressive tx_free_thresh. 2. queue setup fail when tx_free_thresh + tx_rs_thresh > nb_desc Fixes: af75078fece3 ("first public release") Cc: stable@dpdk.org Signed-off-by: Qi Zhang Acked-by: Beilei Xing --- drivers/net/ixgbe/ixgbe_rxtx.c | 19 +++++++++++++++++-- 1 file changed, 17 insertions(+), 2 deletions(-) diff --git a/drivers/net/ixgbe/ixgbe_rxtx.c b/drivers/net/ixgbe/ixgbe_rxtx.c index 1fbc754aea..3072bc1b55 100644 --- a/drivers/net/ixgbe/ixgbe_rxtx.c +++ b/drivers/net/ixgbe/ixgbe_rxtx.c @@ -2496,14 +2496,29 @@ ixgbe_dev_tx_queue_setup(struct rte_eth_dev *dev, * tx_rs_thresh must be a divisor of the ring size. * tx_free_thresh must be greater than 0. * tx_free_thresh must be less than the size of the ring minus 3. + * tx_free_thresh + tx_rs_thresh must not exceed nb_desc. * One descriptor in the TX ring is used as a sentinel to avoid a * H/W race condition, hence the maximum threshold constraints. * When set to zero use default values. */ - tx_rs_thresh = (uint16_t)((tx_conf->tx_rs_thresh) ? - tx_conf->tx_rs_thresh : DEFAULT_TX_RS_THRESH); tx_free_thresh = (uint16_t)((tx_conf->tx_free_thresh) ? tx_conf->tx_free_thresh : DEFAULT_TX_FREE_THRESH); + /* force tx_rs_thresh to adapt an aggresive tx_free_thresh */ + tx_rs_thresh = (DEFAULT_TX_RS_THRESH + tx_free_thresh > nb_desc) ? + nb_desc - tx_free_thresh : DEFAULT_TX_RS_THRESH; + if (tx_conf->tx_rs_thresh > 0) + tx_rs_thresh = tx_conf->tx_rs_thresh; + if (tx_rs_thresh + tx_free_thresh > nb_desc) { + PMD_INIT_LOG(ERR, "tx_rs_thresh + tx_free_thresh must not " + "exceed nb_desc.
