The kernel only consumes Tx packets if we have some Rx traffic on specified
queue or we have called send(). So we need to issue a send() even when the
allocation fails so that kernel will start to consume packets again.

Commit 45bba02c95b0 ("net/af_xdp: support need wakeup feature") breaks
above rule by adding some condition to send, this patch fixes it while
still keeps the need_wakeup feature for Tx.

So "allocation fails" means " xsk_ring_prod__reserve" fail right?
I don't understand when xsk_ring_prod__needs_wakeup is true why kernel will stop Tx packet at this situation 
would you share more insight?

Yes.

Actually, the fail case is xsk_ring_prod__needs_wakeup is false, then we can't
issue a send() when xsk_ring_prod__reserve fails.

Sorry, I think my question should be for the case when xsk_ring_prod__needs_wakeup is false,
I don't understand why we need to handle different at below two situations
1. when xsk_ring_prod__reserve fails
2. normal tx scenario.
My understanding is when xsk_ring_prod__needs_wakeup(tx) is false, which means Tx is ongoing, we don't need to wake up kernel to continue.

The problem is that kernel does not guarantee that all entries are sent for Tx.
There are a number of reasons that this might not happen, but usually some Rx
packet will at some point in time in the very short future trigger further Tx
processing and the packets will be sent. But if you only have Tx processing and
no Rx at all, you have to trigger a sento() again.

Sorry, I think my question should be for the case when xsk_ring_prod__needs_wakeup is false,
I don't understand why we need to handle different at below two situations
1. when xsk_ring_prod__reserve fails
2. normal tx scenario.
My understanding is when xsk_ring_prod__needs_wakeup(tx) is false, which means Tx is ongoing, we don't need to wake up kernel to continue.

Ok , so the question is why we have below code.
#if defined(XDP_USE_NEED_WAKEUP)
if (xsk_ring_prod__needs_wakeup(&txq->tx))
#endif
	kick_tx(txq);

Here, when xsk_ring_prod__needs_wakeup is false, we can skip kick_tx (send), but why same "if check" can't be applied to the case when xsk_ring_prod__reserve failed?

Btw, think about below case
when xsk_ring_prod_reserve failed, if we don't kick_tx, and no following rx happens, 
does that mean the remain packets in tx queue will never get chance be transmitted?, what happen if the last tx_burst is never be called?

When the system is running out of Tx entries, it needs some explicit action to
trigger kernel consumes the Tx buffers.

This is exactly the issue this patch try to fix, in this case, xsk_ring_prod__reserve
failure means there is no more available entries in tx queue, if we don't call
send/sendto or there is no rx traffic, Tx just halts.

the problem I saw is if a packet is transmitted in a tx_burst, it may get chance not be transmitted immediately by kernel (wait for a trigger), it may rely on a "send" call from next tx_burst.(that's the patch does). But this does not looks like a correct driver behavior, since we can't assume application will do tx_burst all the time.
I think in every tx_burst we need to guarantee kernel tx should be activated immediately, trigger a Tx for a previous tx_burst should not be the case.

Thanks for the patch Xiaolong.

Verified that this resolved an issue whereby when transmitting in one direction from a NIC PMD to the AF_XDP PMD, the AF_XDP PMD would stop transmitting after a short time.

Tested-by: Ciara Loftus <ciara.loftus@intel.com>

Thanks,
Ciara
