Yunsheng Lin 515e7c595d net: sched: fix tx action rescheduling issue during deactivation
[ Upstream commit 102b55ee92f9fda4dde7a45d2b20538e6e3e3d1e ]

Currently qdisc_run() checks the STATE_DEACTIVATED of lockless
qdisc before calling __qdisc_run(), which ultimately clear the
STATE_MISSED when all the skb is dequeued. If STATE_DEACTIVATED
is set before clearing STATE_MISSED, there may be rescheduling
of net_tx_action() at the end of qdisc_run_end(), see below:

CPU0(net_tx_atcion)  CPU1(__dev_xmit_skb)  CPU2(dev_deactivate)
          .                   .                     .
          .            set STATE_MISSED             .
          .           __netif_schedule()            .
          .                   .           set STATE_DEACTIVATED
          .                   .                qdisc_reset()
          .                   .                     .
          .<---------------   .              synchronize_net()

          .                |  .                     .
          .                |  .            some_qdisc_is_busy()
          .                |  .               return *false*
          .                |  .                     .

          .                |  .                     .
   test STATE_MISS         |  .                     .

          .                   .                     .
          .                   .                     .

__qdisc_run() is not called by net_tx_atcion() in CPU0 because
CPU2 has set STATE_DEACTIVATED flag during dev_deactivate(), and
STATE_MISSED is only cleared in __qdisc_run(), __netif_schedule
is called at the end of qdisc_run_end(), causing tx action
rescheduling problem.

qdisc_run() called by net_tx_action() runs in the softirq context,
which should has the same semantic as the qdisc_run() called by
__dev_xmit_skb() protected by rcu_read_lock_bh(). And there is a
synchronize_net() between STATE_DEACTIVATED flag being set and
qdisc_reset()/some_qdisc_is_busy in dev_deactivate(), we can safely
bail out for the deactived lockless qdisc in net_tx_action(), and
qdisc_reset() will reset all skb not dequeued yet.

So add the rcu_read_lock() explicitly to protect the qdisc_run()
and do the STATE_DEACTIVATED checking in net_tx_action() before
calling qdisc_run_begin(). Another option is to do the checking in
the qdisc_run_end(), but it will add unnecessary overhead for
non-tx_action case, because __dev_queue_xmit() will not see qdisc
with STATE_DEACTIVATED after synchronize_net(), the qdisc with
STATE_DEACTIVATED can only be seen by net_tx_action() because of
__netif_schedule().

The STATE_DEACTIVATED checking in qdisc_run() is to avoid race
between net_tx_action() and qdisc_reset(), see:
commit d518d2ed86 ("net/sched: fix race between deactivation
and dequeue for NOLOCK qdisc"). As the bailout added above for
deactived lockless qdisc in net_tx_action() provides better
protection for the race without calling qdisc_run() at all, so
remove the STATE_DEACTIVATED checking in qdisc_run().

After qdisc_reset(), there is no skb in qdisc to be dequeued, so
clear the STATE_MISSED in dev_reset_queue() too.

V8: Clearing STATE_MISSED before calling __netif_schedule() has
    avoid the endless rescheduling problem, but there may still
    be a unnecessary rescheduling, so adjust the commit log.

README

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
