Commit Message

Kaiwen Deng Feb. 22, 2023, 4:40 a.m. UTC
  When iavf send query-stats command in eal-intr-thread through
virtual channel, there will be no response received from
iavf_dev_virtchnl_handler for this command during block and wait.
Because iavf_dev_virtchnl_handler is also registered in eal-intr-thread.

When vf device is bonded as BONDING_MODE_TLB mode, the slave
update callback will registered in alarm and called by eal-intr-thread,
it would also raise the above issue.

This commit add local stats return to iavf_dev_stats_get immediately
when it is called by eal-intr-thread. And update local stats in
iavf-virtchnl-thread.

Fixes: cb5c1b91f76f ("net/iavf: add thread for event callbacks")
Fixes: 22b123a36d07 ("net/avf: initialize PMD")

I assume this is going to return a copy of outdated stats, then the stats will be updated it in future and this happens in another thread, is it correct?
If true, then will be 2 issues.
1. How the caller know when the updated data will be ready?
2. even caller will consume the outdated stats directly, is that will be a race condition if the virtchnl thread update the stats at the same time?
