I found a bug when running hns3 driver with page pool enabled, the log as below:

The hns3 driver use page pool like this, just call once when the driver initialize:

static void hns3_alloc_page_pool(struct hns3_enet_ring *ring)
{
    struct page_pool_params pp_params = {
        .flags = PP_FLAG_DMA_MAP | PP_FLAG_PAGE_FRAG |
                PP_FLAG_DMA_SYNC_DEV,
        .order = hns3_page_order(ring),
        .pool_size = ring->desc_num * hns3_buf_size(ring) /
                (PAGE_SIZE << hns3_page_order(ring)),
        .nid = dev_to_node(ring_to_dev(ring)),
        .dev = ring_to_dev(ring),
        .dma_dir = DMA_FROM_DEVICE,
        .offset = 0,
        .max_len = PAGE_SIZE << hns3_page_order(ring),
    };

    ring->page_pool = page_pool_create(&pp_params);
    if (IS_ERR(ring->page_pool)) {
        dev_warn(ring_to_dev(ring), "page pool creation failed: %ld\n",
             PTR_ERR(ring->page_pool));
        ring->page_pool = NULL;
    }
}

And call page_pool_destroy(ring->page_pool)  when the driver uninitialized.


We use two devices, the net port connect directory, and the step of the test case like below:

1. enable a vf of '7d:00.0':  echo 1 > /sys/class/net/eno1/device/sriov_numvfs

2. use iperf to produce some flows(the problem happens to the side which runs 'iperf -s')

3. use ifconfig down/up to the vf

4. kill iperf

5. disable the vf: echo 0 > /sys/class/net/eno1/device/sriov_numvfs

6. run 1~5 with another port bd:00.0

7. repeat 1~6


And when running this test case, we can found another related message (I replaced pr_warn() to dev_warn()):

pci 0000:7d:01.0: page_pool_release_retry() stalled pool shutdown: id 949, 98 inflight 1449 sec


Even when stop the traffic, stop the test case, disable the vf, this message is still being printed.

We must run the test case for about two hours to reproduce the problem.  Is there some advise to solve or debug the problem?
