There are two reasons for this.
First, the xmit_more flag conceptually doesn't fit into the skb, as
xmit_more is not a property related to the skb.
Its only a hint to the driver that the stack is about to transmit another
packet immediately.
Second, it was only done this way to not have to pass another argument
to ndo_start_xmit().
We can place xmit_more in the softnet data, next to the device recursion.
The recursion counter is already written to on each transmit. The "more"
indicator is placed right next to it.
Drivers can use the netdev_xmit_more() helper instead of skb->xmit_more
to check the "more packets coming" hint.
skb->xmit_more is retained (but always 0) to not cause build breakage.
This change takes care of the simple s/skb->xmit_more/netdev_xmit_more()/
conversions. Remaining drivers are converted in the next patches.

In order to avoid frequent system interrupts when sending and
receiving packets. we replace disable_irq_nosync/enable_irq
with hinic_set_msix_state(), hinic_set_msix_state is used to
access memory mapped hinic devices.

This patch fixes the problem below. The problem can be reproduced by the
following steps:
1) Connecting all HiNIC interfaces
2) On server side
# sudo ifconfig eth0 192.168.100.1 up #Using MLX CX4 card
# iperf -s
3) On client side
# sudo ifconfig eth0 192.168.100.2 up #Using our HiNIC card
# iperf -c 192.168.101.1 -P 10 -t 100000
after hours of testing, we will see errors:
hinic 0000:05:00.0: No MGMT msg handler, mod = 0
hinic 0000:05:00.0: No MGMT msg handler, mod = 0
hinic 0000:05:00.0: No MGMT msg handler, mod = 0
hinic 0000:05:00.0: No MGMT msg handler, mod = 0
The errors are caused by the following problem.
1) The hinic_get_wqe() checks the "wq->delta" to allocate new WQEs:
if (atomic_sub_return(num_wqebbs, &wq->delta) <= 0) {
atomic_add(num_wqebbs, &wq->delta);
return ERR_PTR(-EBUSY);
}
If the WQE occupies multiple pages, the shadow WQE will be used. Then the
hinic_xmit_frame() fills the WQE.
2) While in parallel with 1), the free_tx_poll() checks the "wq->delta"
to free old WQEs:
if ((atomic_read(&wq->delta) + num_wqebbs) > wq->q_depth)
return ERR_PTR(-EBUSY);
There is a probability that the shadow WQE which hinic_xmit_frame() is
using will be damaged by copy_wqe_to_shadow():
if (curr_pg != end_pg) {
void *shadow_addr = &wq->shadow_wqe[curr_pg * wq->max_wqe_size];
copy_wqe_to_shadow(wq, shadow_addr, num_wqebbs, *cons_idx);
return shadow_addr;
}
This can cause WQE data error and you will see the above error messages.
This patch fixes the problem.

The calculation of "wqe_size" is not correct when the tx queue is busy in
hinic_xmit_frame().
When there are no free WQEs, the tx flow will unmap the skb buffer, then
ring the doobell for the pending packets. But the "wqe_size" which used
to calculate the doorbell address is not correct. The wqe size should be
cleared to 0, otherwise, it will cause a doorbell error.
This patch fixes the problem.

Fix the following scenario:
1. tx_free_poll is running on cpu X
2. xmit function is running on cpu Y and fails to get sq wqe
3. tx_free_poll frees wqes on cpu X and checks the queue is not stopped
4. xmit function stops the queue after failed to get sq wqe
5. The queue is stopped forever

The skb_pad() function frees the skb on error, so this code has a double
free.
