[PATCH net] vhost_net: fix high cpu load when sendmsg fails

[PATCH net] vhost_net: fix high cpu load when sendmsg fails

[wangyunjian]

From: Yunjian Wang <wangyunjian@huawei.com>

Currently we break the loop and wake up the vhost_worker when
sendmsg fails. When the worker wakes up again, we'll meet the
same error. This will cause high CPU load. To fix this issue,
we can skip this description by ignoring the error.

One of the reasons for sendmsg to fail is ENOBUFS.
In that case for sure we don't want to drop packet.
There could be other transient errors.
Which error did you encounter, specifically?

Now the function tap_sendmsg()/tun_sendmsg() don't return ENOBUFS.

Currently a guest vm send a skb which length is more than 64k.
If virtio hdr is wrong, the problem will also be triggered.

I think not, it can happen if we exceeds sndbuf. E.g see tun_alloc_skb().

This patch 'net: add alloc_skb_with_frags() helper' modifys the return value
of sock_alloc_send_pskb() from -ENOBUFS to -EAGAIN when we exceeds sndbuf.
So the return value of tun_alloc_skb has been changed.

We don't drop packet if the reasons for sendmsg to fail is EAGAIN.
How about this?

It should work.

Btw, the patch doesn't add the head to the used ring. This may confuses 
the driver.
