From a90c57f2cedd52a511f739fb55e6244e22e1a2fb Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Yunsheng Lin Date: Fri, 14 May 2021 11:16:59 +0800 Subject: net: sched: fix packet stuck problem for lockless qdisc Lockless qdisc has below concurrent problem: cpu0 cpu1 . . q->enqueue . . . qdisc_run_begin() . . . dequeue_skb() . . . sch_direct_xmit() . . . . q->enqueue . qdisc_run_begin() . return and do nothing . . qdisc_run_end() . cpu1 enqueue a skb without calling __qdisc_run() because cpu0 has not released the lock yet and spin_trylock() return false for cpu1 in qdisc_run_begin(), and cpu0 do not see the skb enqueued by cpu1 when calling dequeue_skb() because cpu1 may enqueue the skb after cpu0 calling dequeue_skb() and before cpu0 calling qdisc_run_end(). Lockless qdisc has below another concurrent problem when tx_action is involved: cpu0(serving tx_action) cpu1 cpu2 . . . . q->enqueue . . qdisc_run_begin() . . dequeue_skb() . . . q->enqueue . . . . sch_direct_xmit() . . . qdisc_run_begin() . . return and do nothing . . . clear __QDISC_STATE_SCHED . . qdisc_run_begin() . . return and do nothing . . . . . . qdisc_run_end() . This patch fixes the above data race by: 1. If the first spin_trylock() return false and STATE_MISSED is not set, set STATE_MISSED and retry another spin_trylock() in case other CPU may not see STATE_MISSED after it releases the lock. 2. reschedule if STATE_MISSED is set after the lock is released at the end of qdisc_run_end(). For tx_action case, STATE_MISSED is also set when cpu1 is at the end if qdisc_run_end(), so tx_action will be rescheduled again to dequeue the skb enqueued by cpu2. Clear STATE_MISSED before retrying a dequeuing when dequeuing returns NULL in order to reduce the overhead of the second spin_trylock() and __netif_schedule() calling. Also clear the STATE_MISSED before calling __netif_schedule() at the end of qdisc_run_end() to avoid doing another round of dequeuing in the pfifo_fast_dequeue().
