[ Upstream commit d9ccb18f83ea2bb654289b6ecf014fd267cc988b ]
Soft lockups have been observed on a cluster of Linux-based edge routers
located in a highly dynamic environment. Using the `bird` service, these
routers continuously update BGP-advertised routes due to frequently
changing nexthop destinations, while also managing significant IPv6
traffic. The lockups occur during the traversal of the multipath
circular linked-list in the `fib6_select_path` function, particularly
while iterating through the siblings in the list. The issue typically
arises when the nodes of the linked list are unexpectedly deleted
concurrently on a different core—indicated by their 'next' and
'previous' elements pointing back to the node itself and their reference
count dropping to zero. This results in an infinite loop, leading to a
soft lockup that triggers a system panic via the watchdog timer.
Apply RCU primitives in the problematic code sections to resolve the
issue. Where necessary, update the references to fib6_siblings to
annotate or use the RCU APIs.
Include a test script that reproduces the issue. The script
periodically updates the routing table while generating a heavy load
of outgoing IPv6 traffic through multiple iperf3 clients. It
consistently induces infinite soft lockups within a couple of minutes.

+# The test script sets up two network namespaces, source_ns and sink_ns,
+# connected via a veth link. Within source_ns, it continuously updates the
+# IPv6 routing table by flushing and inserting IPV6_NEXTHOP_ADDR_COUNT nexthop
+# IPs destined for SINK_LOOPBACK_IP_ADDR in sink_ns. This refresh occurs at a
+# rate of 1/ROUTING_TABLE_REFRESH_PERIOD per second for TEST_DURATION seconds.
+#
+# Simultaneously, multiple iperf3 clients within source_ns generate heavy
+# outgoing IPv6 traffic. Each client is assigned a unique port number starting
+# at 5000 and incrementing sequentially. Each client targets a unique iperf3
+# server running in sink_ns, connected to the SINK_LOOPBACK_IFACE interface
+# using the same port number.
+#
+# The number of iperf3 servers and clients is set to half of the total
+# available cores on each machine.
+#

2.35.3
From: Selvin Xavier <selvin.xavier(a)broadcom.com>
[ Upstream commit 8be3e5b0c96beeefe9d5486b96575d104d3e7d17 ]
Driver waits indefinitely for the fifo occupancy to go below a threshold
as soon as the pacing interrupt is received. This can cause soft lockup on
one of the processors, if the rate of DB is very high.
Add a loop count for FPGA and exit the __wait_for_fifo_occupancy_below_th
if the loop is taking more time. Pacing will be continuing until the
occupancy is below the threshold. This is ensured by the checks in
bnxt_re_pacing_timer_exp and further scheduling the work for pacing based
on the fifo occupancy.

We get there when sigreturn has performed obscene acts on kernel stack;
in particular, the location of pt_regs has shifted. We are about to call
syscall_trace(), which might stop for tracer. If that happens, we'd better
have task_pt_regs() returning correct result...

By waiting at most 1 second for USR2_TXDC to be set, we avoid a potential
deadlock.
In case of the timeout, there is not much we can do, so we simply ignore
the transmitter state and optimistically try to continue.

2.43.0
From: Omid Ehtemam-Haghighi <omid.ehtemamhaghighi(a)menlosecurity.com>
[ Upstream commit d9ccb18f83ea2bb654289b6ecf014fd267cc988b ]
Soft lockups have been observed on a cluster of Linux-based edge routers
located in a highly dynamic environment. Using the `bird` service, these
routers continuously update BGP-advertised routes due to frequently
changing nexthop destinations, while also managing significant IPv6
traffic. The lockups occur during the traversal of the multipath
circular linked-list in the `fib6_select_path` function, particularly
while iterating through the siblings in the list. The issue typically
arises when the nodes of the linked list are unexpectedly deleted
concurrently on a different core—indicated by their 'next' and
'previous' elements pointing back to the node itself and their reference
count dropping to zero. This results in an infinite loop, leading to a
soft lockup that triggers a system panic via the watchdog timer.
Apply RCU primitives in the problematic code sections to resolve the
issue. Where necessary, update the references to fib6_siblings to
annotate or use the RCU APIs.
Include a test script that reproduces the issue. The script
periodically updates the routing table while generating a heavy load
of outgoing IPv6 traffic through multiple iperf3 clients. It
consistently induces infinite soft lockups within a couple of minutes.

+# The test script sets up two network namespaces, source_ns and sink_ns,
+# connected via a veth link. Within source_ns, it continuously updates the
+# IPv6 routing table by flushing and inserting IPV6_NEXTHOP_ADDR_COUNT nexthop
+# IPs destined for SINK_LOOPBACK_IP_ADDR in sink_ns. This refresh occurs at a
+# rate of 1/ROUTING_TABLE_REFRESH_PERIOD per second for TEST_DURATION seconds.
+#
+# Simultaneously, multiple iperf3 clients within source_ns generate heavy
+# outgoing IPv6 traffic. Each client is assigned a unique port number starting
+# at 5000 and incrementing sequentially. Each client targets a unique iperf3
+# server running in sink_ns, connected to the SINK_LOOPBACK_IFACE interface
+# using the same port number.
+#
+# The number of iperf3 servers and clients is set to half of the total
+# available cores on each machine.
+#
+# NOTE: We have tested this script on machines with various CPU specifications,
+# ranging from lower to higher performance as listed below. The test script
+# effectively triggered a kernel soft lockup on machines running an unpatched
+# kernel in under a minute:
+#
+# - 1x Intel Xeon E-2278G 8-Core Processor @ 3.40GHz
+# - 1x Intel Xeon E-2378G Processor 8-Core @ 2.80GHz
+# - 1x AMD EPYC 7401P 24-Core Processor @ 2.00GHz
+# - 1x AMD EPYC 7402P 24-Core Processor @ 2.80GHz
+# - 2x Intel Xeon Gold 5120 14-Core Processor @ 2.20GHz

+# - 1x AMD EPYC 7502P 32-Core @ 2.50GHz
+# - 1x Intel Xeon Gold 6314U 32-Core Processor @ 2.30GHz
+# - 2x Intel Xeon Gold 6338 32-Core Processor @ 2.00GHz
+#
+# On less performant machines, you may need to increase the TEST_DURATION
+# parameter to enhance the likelihood of encountering a race condition leading
+# to a kernel soft lockup and avoid a false negative result.

[ Upstream commit 50e43a57334400668952f8e551c9d87d3ed2dfef ]
We get there when sigreturn has performed obscene acts on kernel stack;
in particular, the location of pt_regs has shifted. We are about to call
syscall_trace(), which might stop for tracer. If that happens, we'd better
have task_pt_regs() returning correct result...

From: "Eric W. Biederman" <ebiederm(a)xmission.com>
[ Upstream commit a3616a3c02722d1edb95acc7fceade242f6553ba ]
In the fpsp040 code when copyin or copyout fails call
force_sigsegv(SIGSEGV) instead of do_exit(SIGSEGV).
This solves a couple of problems. Because do_exit embeds the ptrace
stop PTRACE_EVENT_EXIT a complete stack frame needs to be present for
that to work correctly. There is always the information needed for a
ptrace stop where get_signal is called. So exiting with a signal
solves the ptrace issue.
Further exiting with a signal ensures that all of the threads in a
process are killed not just the thread that malfunctioned. Which
avoids confusing userspace.
To make force_sigsegv(SIGSEGV) work in fpsp040_die modify the code to
save all of the registers and jump to ret_from_exception (which
ultimately calls get_signal) after fpsp040_die returns.
v2: Updated the branches to use gas's pseudo ops that automatically
calculate the best branch instruction to use for the purpose.
