This is a note to let you know that I have just added a patch titled tcp: tcp_release_cb() should release socket ownership to the linux-3.8.y-queue branch of the 3.8.y.z extended stable tree which can be found at: http://kernel.ubuntu.com/git?p=ubuntu/linux.git;a=shortlog;h=refs/heads/linux-3.8.y-queue This patch is scheduled to be released in version 3.8.13.22. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to this tree, please reply to this email. For more information about the 3.8.y.z tree, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/Dev/ExtendedStable Thanks. -Kamal ------ From 753d807d2fc859c19205e05938f418f023ef7259 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Eric Dumazet <eric.dumazet@gmail.com> Date: Mon, 10 Mar 2014 09:50:11 -0700 Subject: tcp: tcp_release_cb() should release socket ownership [ Upstream commit c3f9b01849ef3bc69024990092b9f42e20df7797 ] Lars Persson reported following deadlock : -000 |M:0x0:0x802B6AF8(asm) <-- arch_spin_lock -001 |tcp_v4_rcv(skb = 0x8BD527A0) <-- sk = 0x8BE6B2A0 -002 |ip_local_deliver_finish(skb = 0x8BD527A0) -003 |__netif_receive_skb_core(skb = 0x8BD527A0, ?) -004 |netif_receive_skb(skb = 0x8BD527A0) -005 |elk_poll(napi = 0x8C770500, budget = 64) -006 |net_rx_action(?) -007 |__do_softirq() -008 |do_softirq() -009 |local_bh_enable() -010 |tcp_rcv_established(sk = 0x8BE6B2A0, skb = 0x87D3A9E0, th = 0x814EBE14, ?) -011 |tcp_v4_do_rcv(sk = 0x8BE6B2A0, skb = 0x87D3A9E0) -012 |tcp_delack_timer_handler(sk = 0x8BE6B2A0) -013 |tcp_release_cb(sk = 0x8BE6B2A0) -014 |release_sock(sk = 0x8BE6B2A0) -015 |tcp_sendmsg(?, sk = 0x8BE6B2A0, ?, ?) -016 |sock_sendmsg(sock = 0x8518C4C0, msg = 0x87D8DAA8, size = 4096) -017 |kernel_sendmsg(?, ?, ?, ?, size = 4096) -018 |smb_send_kvec() -019 |smb_send_rqst(server = 0x87C4D400, rqst = 0x87D8DBA0) -020 |cifs_call_async() -021 |cifs_async_writev(wdata = 0x87FD6580) -022 |cifs_writepages(mapping = 0x852096E4, wbc = 0x87D8DC88) -023 |__writeback_single_inode(inode = 0x852095D0, wbc = 0x87D8DC88) -024 |writeback_sb_inodes(sb = 0x87D6D800, wb = 0x87E4A9C0, work = 0x87D8DD88) -025 |__writeback_inodes_wb(wb = 0x87E4A9C0, work = 0x87D8DD88) -026 |wb_writeback(wb = 0x87E4A9C0, work = 0x87D8DD88) -027 |wb_do_writeback(wb = 0x87E4A9C0, force_wait = 0) -028 |bdi_writeback_workfn(work = 0x87E4A9CC) -029 |process_one_work(worker = 0x8B045880, work = 0x87E4A9CC) -030 |worker_thread(__worker = 0x8B045880) -031 |kthread(_create = 0x87CADD90) -032 |ret_from_kernel_thread(asm) Bug occurs because __tcp_checksum_complete_user() enables BH, assuming it is running from softirq context. Lars trace involved a NIC without RX checksum support but other points are problematic as well, like the prequeue stuff. Problem is triggered by a timer, that found socket being owned by user. tcp_release_cb() should call tcp_write_timer_handler() or tcp_delack_timer_handler() in the appropriate context : BH disabled and socket lock held, but 'owned' field cleared, as if they were running from timer handlers.
