Subject: [PATCH v4 1/3] can: rx-offload: make skb_irq_queue per-CPU
Date: Tue, 1 Sep 2026 13:48:46 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260901114848.500591-2-ciprianmarian.costea@oss.nxp.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260901114848.500591-1-ciprianmarian.costea@oss.nxp.com>
From: Ciprian Marian Costea <ciprianmarian.costea@oss.nxp.com>
skb_irq_queue is filled by the IRQ handlers using the lockless
__skb_queue_add_sort() / __skb_queue_tail() helpers and later spliced
into skb_queue under skb_queue.lock by can_rx_offload_irq_finish() and
can_rx_offload_threaded_irq_finish().
This is only safe while a single context fills skb_irq_queue. FlexCAN
on NXP S32G2 (FLEXCAN_QUIRK_SECONDARY_MB_IRQ) uses two mailbox IRQ
lines, one for MB0-7 and one for MB8-63; MCF5441X similarly splits its
mailbox interrupt. When these lines are affined to different CPUs both
handlers can run at the same time and enqueue into the same sk_buff_head
concurrently, corrupting its list.
Allocate skb_irq_queue per-CPU so the handlers no longer share a list,
keeping the enqueue path lock-free. Access the per-CPU queue via
get_cpu_ptr()/put_cpu_ptr() in the enqueue helpers: this disables
preemption around the lockless __skb_queue_*() operation.
can_rx_offload_irq_finish() runs in the same context as its enqueues and
splices this_cpu_ptr(). can_rx_offload_threaded_irq_finish() may have
been migrated after its enqueues, so it splices every possible CPU's
queue; this is safe because each per-CPU queue has a single producer and
that producer runs with preemption disabled, so it cannot race the
splice.
Cross-line frames are now sorted by timestamp only within a CPU's queue
and appended across CPUs on splice; each skb keeps its own timestamp.
Fixes: c757096ea103 ("can: rx-offload: add skb queue for use during ISR")
