src/sys/arch/xen/xen: xennetback.c
Log Message:
- There is a possible race condition with the rx->event stuff, causing
event not to be sent when one is needed. Fixing this would require
one hypercall per packet, instead of one per NB_XMIT_PAGES_BATCH pages.
It's not worth it, so always send an event at the end of xennetback_ifstart()
- there is no callback mechanism to notify us when a guest has handled
packets we sent. If we stop transmitting because the ring is full or we're
out of pages when the ifq is also full, nothing will call
xennetback_ifstart() again and transmit is stalled. Abuse the watchdog
to kick the transmit queue once second after an out of ressources
condition.
