Subject: [PATCH net-next 3/4] net/rds: acquire the fastpath locks in rds_conn_shutdown()
Date: Thu, 6 Aug 2026 00:20:44 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260806072045.1092968-4-achender@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260806072045.1092968-1-achender@kernel.org>
From: Håkon Bugge <haakon.bugge@oracle.com>
rds_conn_shutdown() quiesces the transmit and receive-refill paths by
waiting for RDS_IN_XMIT and RDS_RECV_REFILL to be sampled clear, and
then runs the transport shutdown and rds_conn_path_reset(). Sampling
the bits clear is not the same as owning them: the moment after the
wait_event() returns, rds_send_xmit() can re-acquire RDS_IN_XMIT (or
rds_ib_recv_refill() can re-acquire RDS_RECV_REFILL) and run
concurrently with the teardown.
The sender does recheck the connection state after taking the lock,
but that recheck is a classic store-buffering pattern: teardown writes
the state and reads the bit while the sender writes the bit and reads
the state. acquire_in_xmit() is only an acquire operation, so on
weakly ordered architectures both sides can miss each other's write,
and the transmit path then runs while the transport zeroes its rings
(e.g. rds_ib_ring_init()) and rds_send_path_reset() rewrites the
transmit state under it.
Oracle UEK fixed the same class of crashes - a 14-year tail of
BUG_ON()s in rds_ib_sub_signaled(), unexpected op-codes and NULL
dereferences in rds_ib_send_cqe_handler() during failover testing -
by making the teardown path *acquire* the fastpath bit locks instead
of testing them ("rds: Make sure transmit path and connection
tear-down does not run concurrently"). Ownership of a single word is
decided by RMW atomicity, so no cross-variable ordering is needed.
Do the same here: take both locks before calling the transport
shutdown, hold them across rds_conn_path_reset(), and release them
explicitly afterwards. All other users of these bits are trylock
style (rds_send_xmit(), the IB send tasklet, rds_ib_recv_refill()),
so they back off while teardown owns the locks and no new lock
dependency is introduced. The explicit release with a wake-up also
covers waiters such as rds_tcp_reset_callbacks() that would otherwise
miss the silent clear inside rds_conn_path_reset().
