Subject: [PATCH net v4] ipv6: fix a BUG in rt6_get_pcpu_route() under PREEMPT_RT
Date: Tue, 23 Dec 2025 13:14:12 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20251223051413.124687-1-jiayuan.chen@linux.dev> (raw)

On PREEMPT_RT kernels, after rt6_get_pcpu_route() returns NULL, the
current task can be preempted. Another task running on the same CPU
may then execute rt6_make_pcpu_route() and successfully install a
pcpu_rt entry. When the first task resumes execution, its cmpxchg()
in rt6_make_pcpu_route() will fail because rt6i_pcpu is no longer
NULL, triggering the BUG_ON(prev). It's easy to reproduce it by adding
mdelay() after rt6_get_pcpu_route().

Using preempt_disable/enable is not appropriate here because
ip6_rt_pcpu_alloc() may sleep.

Fix this by handling the cmpxchg() failure gracefully on PREEMPT_RT:
free our allocation and return the existing pcpu_rt installed by
another task. The BUG_ON is replaced by WARN_ON_ONCE for non-PREEMPT_RT
kernels where such races should not occur.

Fixes: d2d6422f8bd1 ("x86: Allow to enable PREEMPT_RT.")
