pktgen: fix misuse of BUG_ON() in pktgen_thread_worker()

2021-03-07T10:25:57+00:00

[ Upstream commit 275b1e88cabb34dbcbe99756b67e9939d34a99b6 ] pktgen create threads for all online cpus and bond these threads to relevant cpu repecivtily. when this thread firstly be woken up, it will compare cpu currently running with the cpu specified at the time of creation and if the two cpus are not equal, BUG_ON() will take effect causing panic on the system. Notice that these threads could be migrated to other cpus before start running because of the cpu hotplug after these threads have created. so the BUG_ON() used here seems unreasonable and we can replace it with WARN_ON() to just printf a warning other than panic the system.

pktgen: do not sleep with the thread lock held.

2019-06-11T10:22:46+00:00

[ Upstream commit 720f1de4021f09898b8c8443f3b3e995991b6e3a ] Currently, the process issuing a "start" command on the pktgen procfs interface, acquires the pktgen thread lock and never release it, until all pktgen threads are completed. The above can blocks indefinitely any other pktgen command and any (even unrelated) netdevice removal - as the pktgen netdev notifier acquires the same lock. The issue is demonstrated by the following script, reported by Matteo: ip -b - <<'EOF' link add type dummy link add type veth link set dummy0 up EOF modprobe pktgen echo reset >/proc/net/pktgen/pgctrl { echo rem_device_all echo add_device dummy0 } >/proc/net/pktgen/kpktgend_0 echo count 0 >/proc/net/pktgen/dummy0 echo start >/proc/net/pktgen/pgctrl & sleep 1 rmmod veth Fix the above releasing the thread lock around the sleep call. Additionally we must prevent racing with forcefull rmmod - as the thread lock no more protects from them. Instead, acquire a self-reference before waiting for any thread. As a side effect, running rmmod pktgen while some thread is running now fails with "module in use" error, before this patch such command hanged indefinitely. Note: the issue predates the commit reported in the fixes tag, but this fix can't be applied before the mentioned commit. v1 -> v2: - no need to check for thread existence after flipping the lock, pktgen threads are freed only at net exit time - Fixes: 6146e6a43b35 ("[PKTGEN]: Removes thread_{un,}lock() macros.")

net: pktgen: remove rcu locking in pktgen_change_name()

2016-10-17T14:52:59+00:00

After Jesper commit back in linux-3.18, we trigger a lockdep splat in proc_create_data() while allocating memory from pktgen_change_name(). This patch converts t->if_lock to a mutex, since it is now only used from control path, and adds proper locking to pktgen_change_name() 1) pktgen_thread_lock to protect the outer loop (iterating threads) 2) t->if_lock to protect the inner loop (iterating devices) Note that before Jesper patch, pktgen_change_name() was lacking proper protection, but lockdep was not able to detect the problem.

net: pktgen: fix pkt_size

2016-10-03T05:29:57+00:00

The commit 879c7220e828 ("net: pktgen: Observe needed_headroom of the device") increased the 'pkt_overhead' field value by LL_RESERVED_SPACE. As a side effect the generated packet size, computed as: /* Eth + IPh + UDPh + mpls */ datalen = pkt_dev->cur_pkt_size - 14 - 20 - 8 - pkt_dev->pkt_overhead; is decreased by the same value. The above changed slightly the behavior of existing pktgen users, and made the procfs interface somewhat inconsistent. Fix it by restoring the previous pkt_overhead value and using LL_RESERVED_SPACE as extralen in skb allocation. Also, change pktgen_alloc_skb() to only partially reserve the headroom to allow the caller to prefetch from ll header start. v1 -> v2: - fixed some typos in the comments Fixes: 879c7220e828 ("net: pktgen: Observe needed_headroom of the device") Suggested-by: Ben Greear Signed-off-by: Paolo Abeni Signed-off-by: David S.

net: pktgen: support injecting packets for qdisc testing

Add another xmit_mode to pktgen to allow testing xmit functionality of qdiscs. The new mode "queue_xmit" injects packets at __dev_queue_xmit() so that qdisc is called. Signed-off-by: John Fastabend Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

sched: remove NET_XMIT_POLICED

2016-06-13T02:02:11+00:00

sch_atm returns this when TC_ACT_SHOT classification occurs. But all other schedulers that use tc_classify (htb, hfsc, drr, fq_codel ...) return NET_XMIT_SUCCESS | __BYPASS in this case so just do that in atm. BATMAN uses it as an intermediate return value to signal forwarding vs. buffering, but it did not return POLICED to callers outside of BATMAN.
