Linux kernel source tree
8cbc756b80
Starting from Linux 5.16 kernel, Tx timeout mechanism was added in the virtio_net driver which prints the "Tx timeout" warning message when a packet stays in Tx queue for too long. Below is an example of the reported message: "[494105.316739] virtio_net virtio1 tmfifo_net0: TX timeout on queue: 0, sq: output.0, vq: 0×1, name: output.0, usecs since last trans: 3079892256". This issue could happen when external host driver which drains the FIFO is restared, stopped or upgraded. To avoid such confusing "Tx timeout" messages, this commit adds logic to drop the outstanding Tx packet if it's not able to transmit in two seconds due to Tx FIFO full, which can be considered as congestion or out-of-resource drop. This commit also handles the special case that the packet is half- transmitted into the Tx FIFO. In such case, the packet is discarded with remaining length stored in vring->rem_padding. So paddings with zeros can be sent out when Tx space is available to maintain the integrity of the packet format. The padded packet will be dropped on the receiving side.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
