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.

V4: Change STATE_NEED_RESCHEDULE to STATE_MISSED mirroring NAPI's NAPIF_STATE_MISSED, and add Juergen's "Tested-by" tag for there is only renaming and typo fixing between V4 and V3. V3: Fix a compile error and a few comment typo, remove the __QDISC_STATE_DEACTIVATED checking, and update the performance data. V2: Avoid the overhead of fixing the data race as much as possible. --- include/net/sch_generic.h | 33 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++- net/sched/sch_generic.c | 19 +++++++++++++++++++ 2 files changed, 51 insertions(+), 1 deletion(-) diff --git a/include/net/sch_generic.h b/include/net/sch_generic.h index f7a6e14..e5df394 100644 --- a/include/net/sch_generic.h +++ b/include/net/sch_generic.h @@ -36,6 +36,7 @@ struct qdisc_rate_table { enum qdisc_state_t { __QDISC_STATE_SCHED, __QDISC_STATE_DEACTIVATED, + __QDISC_STATE_MISSED, }; struct qdisc_size_table { @@ -159,8 +160,33 @@ static inline bool qdisc_is_empty(const struct Qdisc *qdisc) static inline bool qdisc_run_begin(struct Qdisc *qdisc) { if (qdisc->flags & TCQ_F_NOLOCK) { + if (spin_trylock(&qdisc->seqlock)) + goto nolock_empty; + + /* If the MISSED flag is set, it means other thread has + * set the MISSED flag before second spin_trylock(), so + * we can return false here to avoid multi cpus doing + * the set_bit() and second spin_trylock() concurrently. + */ + if (test_bit(__QDISC_STATE_MISSED, &qdisc->state)) + return false; + + /* Set the MISSED flag before the second spin_trylock(), + * if the second spin_trylock() return false, it means + * other cpu holding the lock will do dequeuing for us + * or it will see the MISSED flag set after releasing + * lock and reschedule the net_tx_action() to do the + * dequeuing. + */ + set_bit(__QDISC_STATE_MISSED, &qdisc->state); + + /* Retry again in case other CPU may not see the new flag + * after it releases the lock at the end of qdisc_run_end(). + */ if (!spin_trylock(&qdisc->seqlock)) return false; + +nolock_empty: WRITE_ONCE(qdisc->empty, false); } else if (qdisc_is_running(qdisc)) { return false; @@ -176,8 +202,13 @@ static inline bool qdisc_run_begin(struct Qdisc *qdisc) static inline void qdisc_run_end(struct Qdisc *qdisc) { write_seqcount_end(&qdisc->running); - if (qdisc->flags & TCQ_F_NOLOCK) + if (qdisc->flags & TCQ_F_NOLOCK) { spin_unlock(&qdisc->seqlock); + + if (unlikely(test_bit(__QDISC_STATE_MISSED, + &qdisc->state))) + __netif_schedule(qdisc); + } } static inline bool qdisc_may_bulk(const struct Qdisc *qdisc) diff --git a/net/sched/sch_generic.c b/net/sched/sch_generic.c index 44991ea..795d986 100644 --- a/net/sched/sch_generic.c +++ b/net/sched/sch_generic.c @@ -640,8 +640,10 @@ static struct sk_buff *pfifo_fast_dequeue(struct Qdisc *qdisc) { struct pfifo_fast_priv *priv = qdisc_priv(qdisc); struct sk_buff *skb = NULL; + bool need_retry = true; int band; +retry: for (band = 0; band < PFIFO_FAST_BANDS && !skb; band++) { struct skb_array *q = band2list(priv, band); @@ -652,6 +654,23 @@ static struct sk_buff *pfifo_fast_dequeue(struct Qdisc *qdisc) } if (likely(skb)) { qdisc_update_stats_at_dequeue(qdisc, skb); + } else if (need_retry && + test_bit(__QDISC_STATE_MISSED, &qdisc->state)) { + /* Delay clearing the STATE_MISSED here to reduce + * the overhead of the second spin_trylock() in + * qdisc_run_begin() and __netif_schedule() calling + * in qdisc_run_end(). + */ + clear_bit(__QDISC_STATE_MISSED, &qdisc->state); + + /* Make sure dequeuing happens after clearing + * STATE_MISSED. + */ + smp_mb__after_atomic(); + + need_retry = false; + + goto retry; } else { WRITE_ONCE(qdisc->empty, true); }
