H A De1000.c9596ef7c7b8528bedb240792ea1fb598543ad3c4 Fri Nov 27 06:48:41 UTC 2015 Denis V. Lunev <den@openvz.org> e1000: fix hang of win2k12 shutdown with flood ping

e1000 driver in Win2k12 is really well rotten. It 100% hangs on shutdown
of UP VM under flood ping. The guest checks card state and reinjects
itself interrupt in a loop. This is fatal for UP machine.

There is no good way to fix this misbehavior but to kludge it. The
emulation has interrupt throttling register aka ITR which limits
interrupt rate and allows the guest to proceed this phase.
There is no problem with this kludge for Linux guests - it adjust the
value of it itself.

On the other hand according to the initial research in

e1000: add interrupt mitigation support

...

Interrupt mitigation boosts performance when the guest suffers from
an high interrupt rate (i.e. receiving short UDP packets at high packet
rate). For some numerical results see the following link
http://info.iet.unipi.it/~luigi/papers/20130520-rizzo-vm.pdf

this should also boost performance a bit.

See https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=874406 for additional
details.

This patch partially implements the e1000 interrupt mitigation mechanisms.
Using a single QEMUTimer, it emulates the ITR register (which is the newer
mitigation register, recommended by Intel) and approximately emulates
RADV and TADV registers. TIDV and RDTR register functionalities are not
emulated (RDTR is only used to validate RADV, according to the e1000 specs).

RADV, TADV, TIDV and RDTR registers make up the older e1000 mitigation
mechanism and would need a timer each to be completely emulated. However,
a single timer has been used in order to reach a good compromise between
emulation accuracy and simplicity/efficiency.

The implemented mechanism can be enabled/disabled specifying the command
line e1000-specific boolean parameter "mitigation", e.g.

qemu-system-x86_64 -device e1000,mitigation=on,... ...
