Hi Aditi, I think this part has a bug.

When I run './test_progs -t bpf_iter/udp6' in a machine with some udp 
so_reuseport sockets, this test is never finished.

A broken case I am seeing is when the bucket has >1 sockets and bpf_seq_read() 
can only get one sk at a time before it calls bpf_iter_udp_seq_stop().

I did not try the change yet. However, from looking at the code where 
iter->offset is changed, --iter->offset here is the most likely culprit and it 
will make backward progress for the same bucket (state->bucket). Other places 
touching iter->offset look fine.

It needs a local "int offset" variable for the zero test. Could you help to take 
a look, add (or modify) a test and fix it?

The progs/bpf_iter_udp[46].c test can be used to reproduce. The test_udp[46] in 
prog_tests/bpf_iter.c needs to be changed though to ensure there is multiple sk 
in the same bucket. Probably a few so_reuseport sk should do.

Thanks.

Hi Martin,

Thanks for the report. I'll take a look.

Just so that I understand the broken case better, are you doing something in your BPF iterator program so that "bpf_seq_read() can only get one sk at a time"?

The sock_destroy patch set had added a test with multiple so_reuseport sks in a bucket in order to exercise batching [1]. I was wondering if extending the test with an additional bucket should do it, or some more cases are required (asked for clarification above) to reproduce the issue.

Number of bucket should not matter. It should only need a bucket to have 
multiple sockets.

I did notice test_udp_server() has 5 so_reuseport udp sk in the same bucket when 
trying to understand how this issue was missed. It is enough on the hashtable 
side. This is the easier part and one start_reuseport_server() call will do. 
Having multiple sk in a bucket is not enough to reprod though.

The bpf prog 'iter_udp6_server' in the sock_destroy test is not doing 
bpf_seq_printf(). bpf_seq_printf() is necessary to reproduce the issue. The 
read() buf from the userspace program side also needs to be small. It needs to 
hit the "if (seq->count >= size) break;" condition in the "while (1)" loop in 
the kernel/bpf/bpf_iter.c.

You can try to add both to the sock_destroy test. I was suggesting 
bpf_iter/udp[46] test instead (i.e. the test_udp[46] function) because the 
bpf_seq_printf and the buf[] size are all aligned to reprod the problem already. 
  Try to add a start_reuseport_server(..., 5) to the beginning of test_udp6() in 
prog_tests/bpf_iter.c to ensure there is multiple udp sk in a bucket. It should 
be enough to reprod.

In the final fix, I don't have strong preference on where the test should be.
Modifying one of the two existing tests (i.e. sock_destroy or bpf_iter) or a 
completely new test.

Let me know if you have problem reproducing it. Thanks.

Gotcha! I think I understand the repro steps. The offset field in question was added for this scenario where an iterator is stopped and resumed that the sock_destroy test cases don't entirely exercise. 
Thanks!

This is the easier part and one start_reuseport_server() call will do. Having multiple sk in a bucket is not enough to reprod though.

The read() buf from the userspace program side also needs to be small. It needs to hit the "if (seq->count >= size) break;" condition in the "while (1)" loop in the kernel/bpf/bpf_iter.c.

I was suggesting bpf_iter/udp[46] test instead (i.e. the test_udp[46] function) because the bpf_seq_printf and the buf[] size are all aligned to reprod the problem already.  Try to add a start_reuseport_server(..., 5) to the beginning of test_udp6() in prog_tests/bpf_iter.c to ensure there is multiple udp sk in a bucket. It should be enough to reprod.

Just a small update: I was able to reproduce the issue where the so_reuseport test hangs by modifying the read buffer in the existing sock_destroy test (test_udp_server). I have a fix, and verified that the test doesn't hang with the fixed code. Will send a patch soon.

ah, hit send too early.

Yes, bpf_seq_printf(). It is why I was suggesting to use the bpf_iter/udp[46] to 
reprod by adding start_reuseport_server(). Please see my earlier reply.
