Subject: [PATCH 2/4] net: hsr: shrink seqnr_lock to sequence counter updates
Date: Sun, 9 Aug 2026 14:14:52 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260809121455.1745-3-xiexinet@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260809121455.1745-1-xiexinet@gmail.com>
Commit 06afd2c31d33 ("hsr: Synchronize sending frames to have always
incremented outgoing seq nr.") and commit 430d67bdcb04 ("net: hsr: Use
the seqnr lock for frames received via interlink port.") hold
seqnr_lock across the whole forwarding path. Transmitting while
holding the lock can create lock-dependency issues when HSR devices
are stacked with other net devices, up to a real deadlock (see
Reported-by/Closes).
Since commit aae9d6b616b5 ("hsr: Implement more robust duplicate
discard for HSR"), duplicate discard is order-independent (sparse
bitmaps), so only the sequence counter updates need serialization.
Limit seqnr_lock to the counter updates in handle_std_frame(); the
master TX path (hsr_dev_xmit()) and the interlink RX path
(hsr_handle_frame()) drop their outer lock, and the supervision frame
builders release it right after their counter update.
Concurrent forwarding may emit frames out of allocation order, which
sparse-bitmap discard tolerates. The master/interlink tx statistics are
no longer serialized; consistent per-cpu/per-queue statistics for all
HSR paths are handled in a separate series.
Fixes: 06afd2c31d33 ("hsr: Synchronize sending frames to have always incremented outgoing seq nr.")
Fixes: 430d67bdcb04 ("net: hsr: Use the seqnr lock for frames received via interlink port.")
