In the worst case the guest code would be unable to make progress since
packet reception is disabled.
The QEMU net subsystem needs to be kicked when rx buffers become
available again so that any queued packets can be delivered and we can
restart the event loop.
The event loop needs to be restarted because net clients (like tap) use
qemu_set_fd_handler2() with a read_poll() handler that returns false
when the NIC is unable to receive. Imagine this scenario:
1. NIC runs out of rx buffers.
2. Event loop iteration starts and calls tap's read_poll() handler,
which sees the NIC cannot receive and therefore does not add the tap
file descriptor to select(2).
3. NIC gets new rx buffers but does not kick net subsystem/event loop.
4. Event loop still sitting in select(2) without the tap file
descriptor. Therefore incoming packets are not picked up by QEMU!
In practice the event loop tends to iterate due to timers, etc. But in
the worst case we can go completely starved here.
Yes. The fd will be added to read set in the next iteration. The delay
depends on the select timeout. it is possible to go starved here.
Would the network show less performance? How much
would the test scenario (Linux installation) take longer?
Yes, the lack of kicks causes reduced network performance. This is
especially true with -netdev tap and a guest driver that runs out of rx
buffers. If you're lucky you might not hit this depending on the
-netdev and availability of rx buffers.
What about the other nic emulations in QEMU?

Adding the interrupt here is correct (I have similar code in
http://repo.or.cz/w/qemu/ar7.git/blob/HEAD:/hw/eepro100.c
which is an improved version of hw/eepro100.c).
Setting ru_no_resources looks also good, but I am not
sure whether removing ru_suspended is ok. Maybe it should
be ru_no_resources | ru_suspended.

It's interesting to hear that your QA tests with eepro100.c.
Which nic model do they use in their tests?

Your patch also has tabs instead of spaces, I fixed that up when merging. Thanks for verifying and merging the patch. Sorry for my mistake in coding style. I'll be careful next time. I use vim, it looks like set tabstop=4 is not enough to get it work as expected. Stefan

What would happen if the above changes were omitted?
Would the network show less performance? How much
would the test scenario (Linux installation) take longer?
It is probably to show less performance. But I don't know how much it
will be.
What about the other nic emulations in QEMU?
I observe hanging network rather often with the
ARM versatilepb emulation.
