Increased by '1' ...

I assume this problem is caused by increasing the per-netdevice statistic in

https://elixir.bootlin.com/linux/v6.13.6/source/net/can/af_can.c#L289

pkg_stats->tx_frames++;
pkg_stats->tx_frames_delta++;

We update the statistics for the device and in this specific case the 
hrtimer fired on two CPUs resulting in a can_send() to the same netdevice.

Do you agree with this quick analysis?

Isn't there some lock-less per-cpu safe statistic handling within netdev 
we might pick for our use-case?

Best regards,
Oliver

Ack. Same conclusion here.

I see two solutions. Either we use lock_sock(skb->sk) and
release_sock(skb->sk) or we can change the types of
can_pkg_stats->tx_frames and can_pkg_stats->tx_frames_delta from long
to atomic_long_t.

The atomic_long_t is the closest solution to a lock-less. But my
preference goes to the lock_sock() which looks more natural in this
context. And look_sock() is just a spinlock which under the hood is
also an atomic, so no big penalty either.


Yours sincerely,
Vincent Mailhol

When we get skbs from the netdevice (and not from user space), we do not 
have a valid sk value. It is set to zero.

See:
https://elixir.bootlin.com/linux/v6.13.6/source/net/can/raw.c#L203

And those skbs can also be forwarded by can-gw using can_send().

Therefore there is no lock_sock() without a valid sk ;-)

When 'atomic_long_t' would also fix this simple statistics handling, we 
should use that.

Best regards,
Oliver

I see, Thanks for the explanation. Then atomic_long_t seems the best
(and easiest).

Hi Vincent, Marc,

I sent a patch to be reviewed:
https://lore.kernel.org/linux-can/20250310143353.3242-1-socketcan@hartkopp.net/T/#u

I've also tested this patch without any new issues.

Best regards,
Oliver

While I would prefer atomic_long_t myself, just to point out an
alternative for "lossy" stats counters: could use __data_racy or
data_race(..), and just accept the data race if "approximate"
statistics can be lived with if the stats counting is happening from a
very performance sensitive hot path. See section "Data-Racy Reads for
Approximate Diagnostics" in
https://web.git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/tree/tools/memory-model/Documentation/access-marking.txt
