In the Tx cleanup function, the reference count in mbufs to be returned to the pool should to be decremented before they are returned. Decrementing is not done by rte_mempool_put_bulk() so it must be done separately using __rte_pktmbuf_prefree_seg(). If decrementing does not result in a 0 reference count the mbuf is not returned to the pool and whatever has the last reference is responsible for freeing.
Fixes: 36935afbc53c ("net/enic: refactor Tx mbuf recycling") Reviewed-by: Nelson Escobar <neescoba at cisco.com> Signed-off-by: John Daley <johndale at cisco.com> --- Since reference counts are set to 0 when mbufs are reallocated from the pool, and sending packets with reference count not equal to 1 is probably an application error, this patch may not be critical. But a debug ASSERT caught it and it would be nice to have it fixed in 16.07. drivers/net/enic/enic_rxtx.c | 10 ++++++++-- 1 file changed, 8 insertions(+), 2 deletions(-) diff --git a/drivers/net/enic/enic_rxtx.c b/drivers/net/enic/enic_rxtx.c index 5ac1d69..96be478 100644 --- a/drivers/net/enic/enic_rxtx.c +++ b/drivers/net/enic/enic_rxtx.c @@ -398,7 +398,14 @@ static inline void enic_free_wq_bufs(struct vnic_wq *wq, u16 completed_index) pool = ((struct rte_mbuf *)buf->mb)->pool; for (i = 0; i < nb_to_free; i++) { buf = &wq->bufs[tail_idx]; - m = (struct rte_mbuf *)(buf->mb); + m = __rte_pktmbuf_prefree_seg((struct rte_mbuf *)(buf->mb)); + buf->mb = NULL; + + if (unlikely(m == NULL)) { + tail_idx = enic_ring_incr(desc_count, tail_idx); + continue; + } + if (likely(m->pool == pool)) { ENIC_ASSERT(nb_free < ENIC_MAX_WQ_DESCS); free[nb_free++] = m; @@ -409,7 +416,6 @@ static inline void enic_free_wq_bufs(struct vnic_wq *wq, u16 completed_index) pool = m->pool; } tail_idx = enic_ring_incr(desc_count, tail_idx); - buf->mb = NULL; } rte_mempool_put_bulk(pool, (void **)free, nb_free); -- 2.7.0
