[Xen-devel] [PATCHv1 net] xen-netback: fix guest Rx stall detection (after guest Rx refactor)
If a VIF has been ready for rx_stall_timeout (60s by default) and an Rx ring is drained of all requests an Rx stall will be incorrectly detected. When this occurs and the guest Rx queue is empty, the Rx ring's event index will not be set and the frontend will not raise an event when new requests are placed on the ring, permanently stalling the VIF. This is a regression introduced by eb1723a29b9a7 (xen-netback: refactor guest rx). Fix this by reinstating the setting of queue->last_rx_time when placing a packet onto the guest Rx ring.
