Lockless qdisc has below concurrent problem:
cpu0 cpu1
. .
q->enqueue .
. .
qdisc_run_begin() .
. .
dequeue_skb() .
. .
sch_direct_xmit() .
. .
. q->enqueue
. qdisc_run_begin()
. return and do nothing
. .
qdisc_run_end() .
cpu1 enqueue a skb without calling __qdisc_run() because cpu0
has not released the lock yet and spin_trylock() return false
for cpu1 in qdisc_run_begin(), and cpu0 do not see the skb
enqueued by cpu1 when calling dequeue_skb() because cpu1 may
enqueue the skb after cpu0 calling dequeue_skb() and before
cpu0 calling qdisc_run_end().
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.
Also clear the STATE_MISSED before calling __netif_schedule()
at the end of qdisc_run_end() to avoid doing another round of
dequeuing in the pfifo_fast_dequeue().
The performance impact of this patch, tested using pktgen and
dummy netdev with pfifo_fast qdisc attached:
threads without+this_patch with+this_patch delta
1 2.61Mpps 2.60Mpps -0.3%
2 3.97Mpps 3.82Mpps -3.7%
