The driver should 1) prohibit holes in its receive ring, 2) allocate before
pushing data up in the stack 3) drop packets when it can't allocate a
fresh buffer and 4) stop releasing receive buffers - and any resource for
that matter - during suspend.
Really.

This is GFP_ATOMIC|___GFP_RECLAIMABLE high order request. So something
that the caller should tollerate to fail.

Why is pci_alloc_consistent doing an unconditional GFP_ATOMIC
allocation? atl1_setup_ring_resources already does GFP_KERNEL
allocation in the same function so this should be sleepable
context. I think we should either add pci_alloc_consistent_gfp if
there are no explicit reasons to not do so or you can workaround
that by opencoding it and using dma_alloc_coherent directly with
GFP_KERNEL|__GFP_REPEAT. This doesn't guarantee a success though
because this is > PAGE_ALLOC_COSTLY_ORDER but it would increase chances
considerably. Also a vmalloc fallback can be used then more safely.

This is GFP_ATOMIC|___GFP_RECLAIMABLE high order request. So something
that the caller should tollerate to fail.

There's existing interface "dma_alloc_coherent" which can be used.
I did not yet try with __GFP_REPEAT, but GFP_KERNEL should already be
big improvement.
Let me send a patch..

atl1c driver is doing order-4 allocation with GFP_ATOMIC
priority. That often breaks networking after resume. Switch to
GFP_KERNEL. Still not ideal, but should be significantly better.

It is not clear why GFP_KERNEL can replace GFP_ATOMIC safely neither
from the changelog nor from the patch context. It is correct here
because atl1c_setup_ring_resources is a sleepable context (otherwise
tpd_ring->buffer_info = kzalloc(size, GFP_KERNEL) would be incorrect
already) but a short note wouldn't kill us, would it?

It seems there is a missed opportunity to get rid of the memset() here,
by adding __GFP_ZERO to the dma_alloc_coherent() GFP_KERNEL mask,
or simply using dma_zalloc_coherent()

Earlier in the function we do a GFP_KERNEL kmalloc so:
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
It should be fine.

Also, the Subject line needs to be adjusted. The proper format for
the Subject line is:
[PATCH $TREE] $subsystem: $description.
Where "$TREE" is either 'net' or 'net-next', $subsystem is the lowercase
name of the driver (here 'atl1c') and then a colon, and then a space, and
then the single-line description.
Thanks.

AFAICT, the people who benefit from GFP_ATOMIC are the people running all
their storage over NFS/iSCSI who are suspending their machines while
they're so busy they don't have any clean order 4 pagecache to drop, and
want the machine to panic rather than hang. The people who benefit from
GFP_KERNEL are the people who use their laptop for a while, put it to
sleep, and then wake it up again. I think the latter is the use case we
should be optimizing for.

iSCSI on machine that suspends... is that a joke or complicated way of
saying that noone benefits? And code uses... both GFP_ATOMIC and
GFP_KERNEL so that both sides are equally unhappy? :-).
Do you want to test the patch, update the subject line and send it to
Davem, or should I do it?
Do you see a way to split the allocation? Not even order 4 GFP_KERNEL
allocation is a nice thing to do...

Why would GFP_KERNEL order-4 allocation hang? It will fail if there are
not >=4 order pages available even after reclaim and/or compaction.
GFP_ATOMIC allocations should be used only when an access to memory
reserves is really required. If the allocation just doesn't want to
invoke direct reclaim then GFP_NOWAIT is a more suitable alternative.

atl1c driver is doing order-4 allocation with GFP_ATOMIC
priority. That often breaks networking after resume. Switch to
GFP_KERNEL. Still not ideal, but should be significantly better.
atl1c_setup_ring_resources() is called from .open() function, and
already uses GFP_KERNEL, so this change is safe.

Agreed, please use dma_zalloc_coherent() and kill that memset().

The *machine* may hang if you can't bring back the interface that's
required to access the storage. It's a ridiculous use case, as Pavel noted.
I only pointed it out to note that there exists a rationale for GFP_ATOMIC.
It just isn't nearly as good as the rationale for using GFP_KERNEL.

Ok, updated. I'll also add cc: stable, because it makes notebooks with
affected chipset unusable.

atl1c driver is doing order-4 allocation with GFP_ATOMIC
priority. That often breaks networking after resume. Switch to
GFP_KERNEL. Still not ideal, but should be significantly better.
atl1c_setup_ring_resources() is called from .open() function, and
already uses GFP_KERNEL, so this change is safe.

* [PATCH net] atl1c: Improve driver not to do order 4 GFP_ATOMIC allocation

atl1c driver is doing order-4 allocation with GFP_ATOMIC
priority. That often breaks networking after resume. Switch to
GFP_KERNEL. Still not ideal, but should be significantly better.
atl1c_setup_ring_resources() is called from .open() function, and
already uses GFP_KERNEL, so this change is safe.

Networking patches do not use CC: stable, instead you simply ask me
to queue it up and then I batch submit networking fixes to -stable
periodically myself.

Ok, can you take the patch and ignore the Cc, or should I do one more
iteration?
