netpoll: Check for skb->queue_mapping

2017-04-21T19:45:19+00:00

Reducing real_num_tx_queues needs to be in sync with skb queue_mapping
otherwise skbs with queue_mapping greater than real_num_tx_queues
can be sent to the underlying driver and can result in kernel panic.

One such event is running netconsole and enabling VF on the same
device. Or running netconsole and changing number of tx queues via
ethtool on same device.

e.g.
Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference
tsk->{mm,active_mm}->context = 0000000000001525
tsk->{mm,active_mm}->pgd = fff800130ff9a000

netpoll: more efficient locking

2016-11-16T23:32:02+00:00

Callers of netpoll_poll_lock() own NAPI_STATE_SCHED

Callers of netpoll_poll_unlock() have BH blocked between
the NAPI_STATE_SCHED being cleared and poll_lock is released.

We can avoid the spinlock which has no contention, and use cmpxchg()
on poll_owner which we need to set anyway.

This removes a possible lockdep violation after the cited commit,
since sk_busy_loop() re-enables BH before calling busy_poll_stop()

net: tracepoint napi:napi_poll add work and budget

2016-07-09T22:05:02+00:00

An important information for the napi_poll tracepoint is knowing
the work done (packets processed) by the napi_poll() call. Add
both the work done and budget, as they are related.

Handle trace_napi_poll() param change in dropwatch/drop_monitor
and in python perf script netdev-times.py in backward compat way,
as python fortunately supports optional parameter handling.

Revert "netpoll: Fix extra refcount release in netpoll_cleanup()"

2016-04-05T23:34:44+00:00

This reverts commit 543e3a8da5a4c453e992d5351ef405d5e32f27d7.

Direct callers of __netpoll_setup() depend on it to set np->dev,
so we can't simply move that assignment up to netpoll_stup().

netpoll: Fix extra refcount release in netpoll_cleanup()

2016-03-25T15:23:14+00:00

netpoll_setup() does a dev_hold() on np->dev, the netpoll device.  If it
fails, it correctly does a dev_put() but leaves np->dev set.  If we call
netpoll_cleanup() after the failure, np->dev is still set so we do another
dev_put(), which decrements the refcount an extra time.

It's questionable to call netpoll_cleanup() after netpoll_setup() fails,
but it can be difficult to find the problem, and we can easily avoid it in
this case.  The extra decrements can lead to hangs like this:

  unregister_netdevice: waiting for bond0 to become free. Usage count = -3

Set and clear np->dev at the points where we dev_hold() and dev_put() the
device.

netpoll: Drop budget parameter from NAPI polling call hierarchy

2015-09-29T21:57:16+00:00

For some reason we were carrying the budget value around between the
various calls to napi->poll.  If for example one of the drivers called had
a bug in which it returned a non-zero value for work this could result in
the budget value becoming negative.

Rather than carry around a value of budget that is 0 or less we can instead
just loop through and pass 0 to each napi->poll call.  If any driver
returns a value for work done that is non-zero then we can report that
driver and continue rather than allowing a bad actor to make the budget
value negative and pass that negative value to napi->poll.

Note, the only actual change here is that instead of letting budget become
negative we are keeping it at 0 regardless of the value returned for work
since it should not be possible for the polling routine to do any actual
work with a budget of 0.  So if the polling routine returns a non-0 value
we are just reporting it and continuing with a budget of 0 rather than
letting that work value be subtracted from the budget of 0.

netpoll: Close race condition between poll_one_napi and napi_disable

2015-09-23T21:32:50+00:00

Drivers might call napi_disable while not holding the napi instance poll_lock.
In those instances, its possible for a race condition to exist between
poll_one_napi and napi_disable.  That is to say, poll_one_napi only tests the
NAPI_STATE_SCHED bit to see if there is work to do during a poll, and as such
the following may happen:

CPU0				CPU1
ndo_tx_timeout			napi_poll_dev
 napi_disable			 poll_one_napi
  test_and_set_bit (ret 0)
				  test_bit (ret 1)
   reset adapter		   napi_poll_routine

If the adapter gets a tx timeout without a napi instance scheduled, its possible
for the adapter to think it has exclusive access to the hardware  (as the napi
instance is now scheduled via the napi_disable call), while the netpoll code
thinks there is simply work to do.  The result is parallel hardware access
leading to corrupt data structures in the driver, and a crash.

Additionaly, there is another, more critical race between netpoll and
napi_disable.  The disabled napi state is actually identical to the scheduled
state for a given napi instance.  The implication being that, if a napi instance
is disabled, a netconsole instance would see the napi state of the device as
having been scheduled, and poll it, likely while the driver was dong something
requiring exclusive access.  In the case above, its fairly clear that not having
the rings in a state ready to be polled will cause any number of crashes.

The fix should be pretty easy.  netpoll uses its own bit to indicate that that
the napi instance is in a state of being serviced by netpoll (NAPI_STATE_NPSVC).
We can just gate disabling on that bit as well as the sched bit.  That should
prevent netpoll from conducting a napi poll if we convert its set bit to a
test_and_set_bit operation to provide mutual exclusion
