eepro100: Fix network hang when rx buffers run out
This is reported by QA. When installing os with pxe, after the initial kernel and initrd are loaded, the procedure tries to copy files from install server to local harddisk, the network becomes stall because of running out of receive descriptor. [Whitespace fixes and removed qemu_notify_event() because Paolo's earlier net patches have moved it into qemu_flush_queued_packets(). Additional info: I can reproduce the network hang with a tap device doing a iPXE HTTP boot as follows: $ qemu -enable-kvm -m 1024 \ -netdev tap,id=netdev0,script=no,downscript=no \ -device i82559er,netdev=netdev0,romfile=80861209.rom \ -drive if=virtio,cache=none,file=test.img iPXE> ifopen net0 iPXE> config # set static network configuration iPXE> kernel http://mirror.bytemark.co.uk/fedora/linux/releases/17/Fedora/x86_64/os/images/pxeboot/vmlinuz I needed a vanilla iPXE ROM to get to the iPXE prompt. I think the boot prompt has been disabled in the ROMs that ship with QEMU to reduce boot time. During the vmlinuz HTTP download there is a network hang. hw/eepro100.c has reached the end of the rx descriptor list. When the iPXE driver replenishes the rx descriptor list we don't kick the QEMU net subsystem and event loop, thereby leaving the tap netdev without its file descriptor in select(2).
