[PATCH net v2 1/1] xdp: fix xdp_return_frame() kernel BUG throw for page_pool memory model

From: Ong Boon Leong
Date: Wed Mar 31 2021 - 09:21:50 EST


xdp_return_frame() may be called outside of NAPI context to return
xdpf back to page_pool. xdp_return_frame() calls __xdp_return() with
napi_direct = false. For page_pool memory model, __xdp_return() calls
xdp_return_frame_no_direct() unconditionally and below false negative
kernel BUG throw happened under preempt-rt build:

[ 430.450355] BUG: using smp_processor_id() in preemptible [00000000] code: modprobe/3884
[ 430.451678] caller is __xdp_return+0x1ff/0x2e0
[ 430.452111] CPU: 0 PID: 3884 Comm: modprobe Tainted: G U E 5.12.0-rc2+ #45

Changes in v2:
- This patch fixes the issue by making xdp_return_frame_no_direct() is
only called if napi_direct = true, as recommended for better by
Jesper Dangaard Brouer. Thanks!

Fixes: 2539650fadbf ("xdp: Helpers for disabling napi_direct of xdp_return_frame")
