Hi, We are running into a situation where rsp_prod index in the shared ring is not getting updated for the netfront tx ring by the netback. We see that rsp_cons is the same value as rsp_prod, with req_prod 236 slots away(tx ring is full).
From looking at the netfront driver code, it looks as if xennet_tx_buf_gc processing only happens if rsp_prod is more than rsp_cons. Our understanding is that netfront sets rsp_cons to tell the netback to start processing transmits
from rsp_cons index onwards till req_prod. Once netback is done process X requests, it will increment rsp_prod by X. This will cause netfront to look at the status of each of individual responses for the slots starting
from rsp_cons till rsp_prod (with rsp_prod - rsp_cons = X in this case). Is there anyway to workaround this ? Will xennet_disconnect_backend(), xennet_connect() on the netfront cause us to recover from this stuck situation. We are ok with pending TX packets getting dropped
since we have TCP running on top. Thanks, -vijay
