Subject: Re: [RFC PATCH 1/2] RDMA/rxe: drive UDP tunnel socket lifetime from the GID table
Date: Sat, 18 Jul 2026 22:08:02 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <59a73ba7-52f3-44bc-80b9-98ff2a6aa771@linux.dev> (raw)

在 2026/7/18 7:26, Serhat Kumral 写道:
> rxe creates the shared per-netns UDP tunnel sockets from rxe_newlink()
> and releases them from several teardown paths (dellink, the
> NETDEV_UNREGISTER notifier and a pernet exit hook), with driver side
> bookkeeping deciding when the last user is gone. Keeping that state in
> sync with the core GID table has been a recurring source of lifetime
> bugs, most recently a refcount underflow / use-after-free reported by
> syzkaller when those paths raced.
>
> Implement the add_gid/del_gid device ops and drive the socket lifetime
> from the GID entries instead: the first RoCEv2 GID entry of an address
> family in a netns creates the wildcard socket, the last one releases
> it. The GID table guarantees one del_gid for every successfully
> installed GID entry, so the counters have a single owner and cannot
> underflow. When an address, a netdev or the whole netns goes away,
> the core removes the GID entries and the sockets follow.
>
> The per-netns state lives in a small global list keyed by netns.
> Event-triggered GID removal is asynchronous, so a netns can be torn
> down before the last del_gid has run, e.g. after its netdev was
> moved to another netns; a pernet exit hook closes the sockets of
> such a dying netns before the net is freed. The hook is registered
> as a pernet subsys so it runs after the netdev cleanup of a dying
> netns, which already waits for the del_gid calls a normal teardown
> triggers; it has no pernet storage and takes no part in the normal
> accounting. The netdev notifier now handles only device unregister,
> MTU and port state events. The old rxe_ns.[ch] bookkeeping, the
> sk_refcnt magic in rxe_net_del(), and the .dellink hook are gone.
> The RX data path is unchanged once a GID entry has its sockets.
>
> The main user visible change: socket setup errors no longer fail
> "rdma link add". The core does not propagate GID add errors back
> through device registration and does not retry them later, so a busy
> port 4791, an allocation failure or a vanishing netns now shows up
> as a missing GID entry plus the GID cache warning in the kernel log
> instead of a failed link add. Re-adding the address or recreating
> the link retries the socket setup.

> I first tried the literal reading, one bound socket per GID entry,
> but real addresses get in the way: default GIDs derived from the MAC
> are not bindable addresses, IPv6 GIDs are added while still tentative
> so bind() fails and nothing re-adds them after DAD, and multicast RX
> cannot match address-bound sockets. So this version keeps the
> wildcard sockets as they are today and only moves their lifetime to
> add_gid/del_gid, which is where the actual bugs were.
>
> The pernet exit hook survives in a reduced form, as a backstop only:
> event-triggered GID removal is asynchronous, so a netns can be gone
> before the last del_gid runs (most easily by moving the netdev to
> another netns and deleting the old one), and something has to close
> the kernel sockets before the net they live in is freed. It is
> registered as a subsys so that a normal netns teardown still
> releases the sockets through del_gid; the hook only picks up what
> GID removal could not get to, and it has no pernet storage and takes
> no part in the normal accounting.
>
> The global list is linear and its mutex is held across socket
> creation and release; both are rare slow paths and the number of
> netns with RoCEv2 GIDs is small, so I kept it simple instead of
> using a hashtable.

> Tested with KASAN and lockdep under concurrent device/GID teardown,
> network namespace destruction, address churn and port 4791 conflicts.
> No splats or leaked tunnel sockets were observed.

Hi Serhat,
While testing your recent RFC patch ("RDMA/rxe: Drive UDP tunnel socket
lifetime from GID table"), I encountered a deterministic kernel hang
when running the RDMA kselftests.
# make -C tools/testing/selftests/ TARGETS=rdma run_tests
make: Entering directory '/root/Development/linux/tools/testing/selftests'
make[1]: Nothing to be done for 'all'.
# timeout set to 45
# selftests: rdma: rxe_rping_between_netns.sh
[Kernel Hangs Here]
The execution freezes permanently during the rxe_rping_between_netns.sh
testcase, which heavily exercises the creation, link configuration,
and teardown of Soft-RoCE devices across multiple network namespaces.
Unfortunately, my local KVM test environment is currently suffering from
severe performance degradation, preventing me from capturing a reliable
kdump or crash log to extract the exact stack trace/lockdep splat.
Given that this specific selftest directly targets the asynchronous
netns deletion and GID churn path that your patch refactored, it is
highly likely related to the new rxe_ns_exit pernet subsys backstop or
the global rxe_ns_lock synchronization logic.
Could you please run this selftest in your environment to see if you can
reproduce the deadlock/hang and capture the stack trace?
Thanks,
Zhu Yanjun
