The cause is due to the idxd driver interrupt completion handler uses
threaded interrupt and the threaded handler is not hard or soft interrupt
context. However __netif_rx() can only be called from interrupt context.
Change the call to netif_rx() in order to allow completion via normal
context for dmaengine drivers that utilize threaded irq handling.

While the following commit changed from netif_rx() to __netif_rx(),
baebdf48c360 ("net: dev: Makes sure netif_rx() can be invoked in any context."),
the change should've been a noop instead. However, the code precedes this
fix should've been using netif_rx_ni() or netif_rx_any_context().

net: annotate writes on dev->mtu from ndo_change_mtu()

2024-05-07T23:19:14+00:00

Simon reported that ndo_change_mtu() methods were never
updated to use WRITE_ONCE(dev->mtu, new_mtu) as hinted
in commit 501a90c94510 ("inet: protect against too small
mtu values.")

We read dev->mtu without holding RTNL in many places,
with READ_ONCE() annotations.

It is time to take care of ndo_change_mtu() methods
to use corresponding WRITE_ONCE()

ntb_netdev: Fix module_init problem

2023-07-08T15:03:53+00:00

With both the ntb_transport_init and the ntb_netdev_init_module routines in the
module_init init group, the ntb_netdev_init_module routine can be called before
the ntb_transport_init routine that it depends on is called.  To assure the
proper initialization order put ntb_netdev_init_module in the late_initcall
group.

Fixes runtime errors where the ntb_netdev_init_module call fails with ENODEV.

ntb_netdev: Use dev_kfree_skb_any() in interrupt context

2022-12-12T20:56:37+00:00

TX/RX callback handlers (ntb_netdev_tx_handler(),
ntb_netdev_rx_handler()) can be called in interrupt
context via the DMA framework when the respective
DMA operations have completed. As such, any calls
by these routines to free skb's, should use the
interrupt context safe dev_kfree_skb_any() function.

Previously, these callback handlers would call the
interrupt unsafe version of dev_kfree_skb(). This has
not presented an issue on Intel IOAT DMA engines as
that driver utilizes tasklets rather than a hard
interrupt handler, like the AMD PTDMA DMA driver.
On AMD systems, a kernel WARNING message is
encountered, which is being issued from
skb_release_head_state() due to in_hardirq()
being true.

Besides the user visible WARNING from the kernel,
the other symptom of this bug was that TCP/IP performance
across the ntb_netdev interface was very poor, i.e.
approximately an order of magnitude below what was
expected. With the repair to use dev_kfree_skb_any(),
kernel WARNINGs from skb_release_head_state() ceased
and TCP/IP performance, as measured by iperf, was on
par with expected results, approximately 20 Gb/s on
AMD Milan based server. Note that this performance
is comparable with Intel based servers.

unregistered.

net: dev: Makes sure netif_rx() can be invoked in any context.

2022-02-14T13:38:35+00:00

Dave suggested a while ago (eleven years by now) "Let's make netif_rx()
work in all contexts and get rid of netif_rx_ni()". Eric agreed and
pointed out that modern devices should use netif_receive_skb() to avoid
the overhead.
In the meantime someone added another variant, netif_rx_any_context(),
which behaves as suggested.

netif_rx() must be invoked with disabled bottom halves to ensure that
pending softirqs, which were raised within the function, are handled.
netif_rx_ni() can be invoked only from process context (bottom halves
must be enabled) because the function handles pending softirqs without
checking if bottom halves were disabled or not.
netif_rx_any_context() invokes on the former functions by checking
in_interrupts().

netif_rx() could be taught to handle both cases (disabled and enabled
bottom halves) by simply disabling bottom halves while invoking
netif_rx_internal(). The local_bh_enable() invocation will then invoke
pending softirqs only if the BH-disable counter drops to zero.

Eric is concerned about the overhead of BH-disable+enable especially in
regard to the loopback driver. As critical as this driver is, it will
receive a shortcut to avoid the additional overhead which is not needed.

Add a local_bh_disable() section in netif_rx() to ensure softirqs are
handled if needed.
Provide __netif_rx() which does not disable BH and has a lockdep assert
to ensure that interrupts are disabled. Use this shortcut in the
loopback driver and in drivers/net/*.c.
Make netif_rx_ni() and netif_rx_any_context() invoke netif_rx() so they
can be removed once they are no more users left.
