8 eepro100: Fix network hang when rx buffers run out
9
10 This is reported by QA. When installing os with pxe, after the initial
11 kernel and initrd are loaded, the procedure tries to copy files from install
12 server to local harddisk, the network becomes stall because of running out of
13 receive descriptor.
14
15 [Whitespace fixes and removed qemu_notify_event() because Paolo's
16 earlier net patches have moved it into qemu_flush_queued_packets().

20 I can reproduce the network hang with a tap device doing a iPXE HTTP
21 boot as follows:
22
23 $ qemu -enable-kvm -m 1024 \
24 -netdev tap,id=netdev0,script=no,downscript=no \
25 -device i82559er,netdev=netdev0,romfile=80861209.rom \
26 -drive if=virtio,cache=none,file=test.img
27 iPXE> ifopen net0
28 iPXE> config # set static network configuration
29 iPXE> kernel http://mirror.bytemark.co.uk/fedora/linux/releases/17/Fedora/x86_64/os/images/pxeboot/vmlinuz
30
31 I needed a vanilla iPXE ROM to get to the iPXE prompt. I think the boot
32 prompt has been disabled in the ROMs that ship with QEMU to reduce boot
33 time.
34
35 During the vmlinuz HTTP download there is a network hang. hw/eepro100.c
36 has reached the end of the rx descriptor list. When the iPXE driver
37 replenishes the rx descriptor list we don't kick the QEMU net subsystem
38 and event loop, thereby leaving the tap netdev without its file
39 descriptor in select(2).
