[RFC 1/2] page_pool: fix timing for checking and disabling napi_local
From: Yunsheng Lin
Date: Thu Sep 12 2024 - 08:51:22 EST
page_pool page may be freed from skb_defer_free_flush() to
softirq context, it may cause concurrent access problem for
pool->alloc cache due to the below time window, as below,
both CPU0 and CPU1 may access the pool->alloc cache
concurrently in page_pool_empty_alloc_cache_once() and
page_pool_recycle_in_cache():
CPU 0 CPU1
page_pool_destroy() skb_defer_free_flush()
. .
. page_pool_put_unrefed_page()
. .
. allow_direct = page_pool_napi_local()
. .
page_pool_disable_direct_recycling() .
. .
page_pool_empty_alloc_cache_once() page_pool_recycle_in_cache()
Use rcu mechanism to avoid the above concurrent access problem.
Note, the above was found during code reviewing how to fix the
problem in [1].
