skbuff: Fix a potential race while recycling page_pool packets 2021-07-16T18:37:00+00:00 Ilias Apalodimas ilias.apalodimas@linaro.org 2021-07-16T07:02:18+00:00 2cc3aeb5ecccec0d266813172fcd82b4b5fa5803 As Alexander points out, when we are trying to recycle a cloned/expanded SKB we might trigger a race. The recycling code relies on the pp_recycle bit to trigger, which we carry over to cloned SKBs. If that cloned SKB gets expanded or if we get references to the frags, call skb_release_data() and overwrite skb->head, we are creating separate instances accessing the same page frags. Since the skb_release_data() will first try to recycle the frags, there's a potential race between the original and cloned SKB, since both will have the pp_recycle bit set. Fix this by explicitly those SKBs not recyclable. The atomic_sub_return effectively limits us to a single release case, and when we are calling skb_release_data we are also releasing the option to perform the recycling, or releasing the pages from the page pool.

     improving performance by 4-8% in microbenchmarks

   - xsk: build skb by page (aka generic zerocopy xmit) - improve
     performance of software AF_XDP path by 33% for devices which don't
     need headers in the linear skb part (e.g. virtio)

   - nexthop: resilient next-hop groups - improve path stability on
     next-hops group changes (incl. offload for mlxsw)

   - ipv6: segment routing: add support for IPv4 decapsulation

   - icmp: add support for RFC 8335 extended PROBE messages

   - inet: use bigger hash table for IP ID generation

   - tcp: deal better with delayed TX completions - make sure we don't
     give up on fast TCP retransmissions only because driver is slow in
     reporting that it completed transmitting the original

   - tcp: reorder tcp_congestion_ops for better cache locality

   - mptcp:
        - add sockopt support for common TCP options
        - add support for common TCP msg flags

   - udp: GRO L4 improvements - improve 'forward' / 'frag_list'
     co-existence with UDP tunnel GRO, allowing the first to take place
     correctly even for encapsulated UDP traffic

   - micro-optimize dev_gro_receive() and flow dissection, avoid
     retpoline overhead on VLAN and TEB GRO

   - use less memory for sysctls, add a new sysctl type, to allow using
     u8 instead of "int" and "long" and shrink networking sysctls

   - veth: allow GRO without XDP - this allows aggregating UDP packets
     before handing them off to routing, bridge, OvS, etc.

   - allow specifing ifindex when device is moved to another namespace

   - netfilter:
        - nft_socket: add support for cgroupsv2
        - nftables: add catch-all set element - special element used to
          define a default action in case normal lookup missed
        - use net_generic infra in many modules to avoid allocating
          per-ns memory unnecessarily

   - xps: improve the xps handling to avoid potential out-of-bound
     accesses and use-after-free when XPS change race with other
     re-configuration under traffic

   - add a config knob to turn off per-cpu netdev refcnt to catch
     underflows in testing

     hopefully start driving towards more unified and vendor-
     independent APIs

        - add interface for reading IEEE MIB stats (incl. mlx5 and bnxt
          support)
        - allow network drivers to dump arbitrary SFP EEPROM data,
          current offset+length API was a poor fit for modern SFP which
          define EEPROM in terms of pages (incl. mlx5 support)

   - act_police, flow_offload: add support for packet-per-second
     policing (incl. offload for nfp)

   - psample: add additional metadata attributes like transit delay for
     packets sampled from switch HW (and corresponding egress and
     policy-based sampling in the mlxsw driver)

   - dsa: improve support for sandwiched LAGs with bridge and DSA

   - netfilter:
        - flowtable: use direct xmit in topologies with IP forwarding,
          bridging, vlans etc.
        - nftables: counter hardware offload support

   - Bluetooth:
        - improvements for firmware download w/ Intel devices
        - add support for reading AOSP vendor capabilities
        - add support for virtio transport driver

   - mac80211:
        - allow concurrent monitor iface and ethernet rx decap
        - set priority and queue mapping for injected frames

   - phy: add support for Clause-45 PHY Loopback

     MSI-X resources to VFs (incl. mlx5 support)

   - dsa: mv88e6xxx: add support for Marvell mv88e6393x - 11-port
     Ethernet switch with 8x 1-Gigabit Ethernet and 3x 10-Gigabit
     interfaces.

   - dsa: support for legacy Broadcom tags used on BCM5325, BCM5365 and
     BCM63xx switches

   - Microchip KSZ8863 and KSZ8873; 3x 10/100Mbps Ethernet switches

   - ath11k: support for QCN9074 a 802.11ax device

          (21% improvement for 1000B UDP frames)
        - support XDP even without dedicated Tx queues - share the Tx
          queues with the stack when necessary

        - flow rules: add support for mirroring with conntrack, matching
          on ICMP, GTP, flex filters and more

     SC7280 SoCs)

   - mt7601u: enable TDLS support

   - mt76:
        - add support for 802.3 rx frames (mt7915/mt7615)
