* [PATCH v2 net-next] page_pool: avoid infinite loop to schedule delayed worker @ 2025-02-13 5:21 Jason Xing 2025-02-13 8:32 ` Paolo Abeni 0 siblings, 1 reply; 7+ messages in thread From: Jason Xing @ 2025-02-13 5:21 UTC (permalink / raw) To: davem, edumazet, kuba, pabeni, horms, hawk, ilias.apalodimas, almasrymina Cc: netdev, Jason Xing We noticed the kworker in page_pool_release_retry() was waken up repeatedly and infinitely in production because of the buggy driver causing the inflight less than 0 and warning us in page_pool_inflight()[1]. Since the inflight value goes negative, it means we should not expect the whole page_pool to get back to work normally. This patch mitigates the adverse effect by not rescheduling the kworker when detecting the inflight negative in page_pool_release_retry(). This patch allows to pr_warn() once in page_pool_release_retry() in this case.

Allow me to double-check what you meant here. Applying the above patch, we do at least see the warning once in page_pool_release_retry()->page_pool_release()->page_pool_inflight()->WARN() before stopping the reschedule. Do you expect to see another warning, namely, pr_warn() in page_pool_release_retry()? If so, I assume you expect to only print out the pool->user.id? > > We can return early if page_pool_release(pool) == 0, and then only > schedule_delayed_work() after the warning if inflight is positive. Based on the above analysis, can we adjust in this way: diff --git a/net/core/page_pool.c b/net/core/page_pool.c index 1c6fec08bc43..e1831cc23d9c 100644 --- a/net/core/page_pool.c +++ b/net/core/page_pool.c @@ -625,8 +625,8 @@ s32 page_pool_inflight(const struct page_pool *pool, bool strict) if (strict) { trace_page_pool_release(pool, inflight, hold_cnt, release_cnt); - WARN(inflight < 0, "Negative(%d) inflight packet-pages", - inflight); + WARN(inflight < 0, "Pool id(%u): negative(%d) inflight packet-pages", + pool->user.id, inflight); } else { inflight = max(0, inflight); } @@ -1112,7 +1112,13 @@ static void page_pool_release_retry(struct work_struct *wq) int inflight; inflight = page_pool_release(pool); - if (!inflight) + /* In rare cases, a driver bug may cause inflight to go negative. + * Don't reschedule release if inflight is 0 or negative. + * - If 0, the page_pool has been destroyed + * - if negative, we will never recover + * in both cases no reschedule is necessary. + */ + if (inflight <= 0) return; Thanks, Jason ^ permalink raw reply related [flat|nested] 7+ messages in thread
