[ Upstream commit 61fad6816fc10fb8793a925d5c1256d1c3db0cd2 ]
PACKET_RX_RING can cause multiple writers to access the same slot if a fast writer wraps the ring while a slow writer is still copying. This is particularly likely with few, large, slots (e.g., GSO packets).
Synchronize kernel thread ownership of rx ring slots with a bitmap.
Writers acquire a slot race-free by testing tp_status TP_STATUS_KERNEL while holding the sk receive queue lock. They release this lock before copying and set tp_status to TP_STATUS_USER to release to userspace when done. During copying, another writer may take the lock, also see TP_STATUS_KERNEL, and start writing to the same slot.
Introduce a new rx_owner_map bitmap with a bit per slot. To acquire a slot, test and set with the lock held. To release race-free, update tp_status and owner bit as a transaction, so take the lock again.
This is the one of a variety of discussed options (see Link below):
* instead of a shadow ring, embed the data in the slot itself, such as in tp_padding. But any test for this field may match a value left by userspace, causing deadlock.
* avoid the lock on release. This leaves a small race if releasing the shadow slot before setting TP_STATUS_USER. The below reproducer showed that this race is not academic. If releasing the slot after tp_status, the race is more subtle. See the first link for details.
* add a new tp_status TP_KERNEL_OWNED to avoid the transactional store of two fields. But, legacy applications may interpret all non-zero tp_status as owned by the user. As libpcap does. So this is possible only opt-in by newer processes. It can be added as an optional mode.
* embed the struct at the tail of pg_vec to avoid extra allocation. The implementation proved no less complex than a separate field.
The additional locking cost on release adds contention, no different than scaling on multicore or multiqueue h/w. In practice, below reproducer nor small packet tcpdump showed a noticeable change in perf report in cycles spent in spinlock. Where contention is problematic, packet sockets support mitigation through PACKET_FANOUT. And we can consider adding opt-in state TP_KERNEL_OWNED.
Easy to reproduce by running multiple netperf or similar TCP_STREAM flows concurrently with `tcpdump -B 129 -n greater 60000`.
Based on an earlier patchset by Jon Rosen. See links below.
I believe this issue goes back to the introduction of tpacket_rcv, which predates git history.
