[ Upstream commit 8b86f10ab64eca0287ea8f7c94e9ad8b2e101c01 ]
The flags IGC_TXQCTL_STRICT_CYCLE and IGC_TXQCTL_STRICT_END prevent the packet transmission over slot and cycle boundaries. This is important for taprio offload where the slots and cycles correspond to the slots and cycles configured for the network.
However, the Qbv offload feature of the i225 is also used for enabling TX launchtime / ETF offload. In that case, however, the cycle has no meaning for the network and is only used internally to adapt the base time register after a second has passed.
Enabling strict mode in this case would unnecessarily prevent the transmission of certain packets (i.e. at the boundary of a second) and thus interferes with the ETF qdisc that promises transmission at a certain point in time.
Similar to ETF, this also applies to CBS offload that also should not be influenced by strict mode unless taprio offload would be enabled at the same time.
This fully reverts commit d8f45be01dd9 ("igc: Use strict cycles for Qbv scheduling") but its commit message only describes what was already implemented before that commit. The difference to a plain revert of that commit is that it now copes with the base_time = 0 case that was fixed with commit e17090eb2494 ("igc: allow BaseTime 0 enrollment for Qbv")
In particular, enabling strict mode leads to TX hang situations under high traffic if taprio is applied WITHOUT taprio offload but WITH ETF offload, e.g. as in
sudo tc qdisc replace dev enp1s0 parent root handle 100 taprio \ num_tc 1 \ map 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 \ queues 1@0 \ base-time 0 \ sched-entry S 01 300000 \ flags 0x1 \ txtime-delay 500000 \ clockid CLOCK_TAI sudo tc qdisc replace dev enp1s0 parent 100:1 etf \ clockid CLOCK_TAI \ delta 500000 \ offload \ skip_sock_check
and traffic generator
sudo trafgen -i traffic.cfg -o enp1s0 --cpp -n0 -q -t1400ns
with traffic.cfg
#define ETH_P_IP 0x0800
{ /* Ethernet Header */ 0x30, 0x1f, 0x9a, 0xd0, 0xf0, 0x0e, # MAC Dest - adapt as needed 0x24, 0x5e, 0xbe, 0x57, 0x2e, 0x36, # MAC Src - adapt as needed const16(ETH_P_IP),
/* IPv4 Header */ 0b01000101, 0, # IPv4 version, IHL, TOS const16(1028), # IPv4 total length (UDP length + 20 bytes (IP header)) const16(2), # IPv4 ident 0b01000000, 0, # IPv4 flags, fragmentation off 64, # IPv4 TTL 17, # Protocol UDP csumip(14, 33), # IPv4 checksum
/* UDP Header */ 10, 0, 48, 1, # IP Src - adapt as needed 10, 0, 48, 10, # IP Dest - adapt as needed const16(5555), # UDP Src Port const16(6666), # UDP Dest Port const16(1008), # UDP length (UDP header 8 bytes + payload length) csumudp(14, 34), # UDP checksum
/* Payload */ fill('W', 1000), }
and the observed message with that is for example
igc 0000:01:00.0 enp1s0: Detected Tx Unit Hang Tx Queue <0> TDH <d0> TDT <f0> next_to_use <f0> next_to_clean <d0> buffer_info[next_to_clean] time_stamp <ffff661f> next_to_watch <00000000245a4efb> jiffies <ffff6e48> desc.status <1048000>
