[Patch net] smc: use RCU version of lower netdev searching

[Patch net] smc: use RCU version of lower netdev searching

[Cong Wang]

From: Cong Wang <cong.wang@bytedance.com>

Both netdev_walk_all_lower_dev() and netdev_lower_get_next() have a
RCU version, which are netdev_walk_all_lower_dev_rcu() and
netdev_next_lower_dev_rcu(). Switching to the RCU version would
eliminate the need for RTL lock, thus could amend the deadlock
complaints from syzbot. And it could also potentially speed up its
callers like smc_connect().

Haven't looked at your code yet, but the issue you fixed doesn't exist.
The real reason is that we lacks some lockdep annotations for
IPPROTO_SMC.

If you look at the code, it is not about sock lock annotations, it is
about RTNL lock which of course has annotations.

And you don't even need to bother sock lock annotations for this specific
case at all (I can't say any other case).

Thanks.

If so, please explain the deadlock issue mentioned in sysbot and
how it triggers deadlocks.

Sure, but what questions do you have here? To me, the lockdep output is
self-explained. Please kindly let me know if you have any troubles
understanding it, I am always happy to help.

If I read correctly, your doubt is somewhat alike the following: the SMC 
code does not call UDP sockopt-related function, so the above stacktrace 
refers to a non SMC socket and the reported splat is really harmless, as 
no deadlock will really happens (UDP sockets do not acquire nested rtnl 
lock, smc does not acquire nested socket lock).

Still the splat happens we need - or at least we should - address it, 
because this splat prevents syzkaller from finding other possibly more 
significant issues.

One way for addressing the splat would be adding the proper annotation 
to the socket lock. Another way is the present patch, which looks legit 
to me and should give performances benefit (every time we don't need to 
acquire the rtnl lock is a win!)

@Wythe: does the above clarify a bit?

Thanks!

Hi Paolo,

Thanks for your explanation. I did not question the value of this patch,
I just think that it did not fix a deadlock issue as it described. What it really does
is to avoid a false position from syzbot, and also has brought potential performance
benefits, which I totally agree with.


Last week, we also discussed this issue with Eric. In fact, we already have a patch
that addresses this problem by modifying the lockdep class of IPPROTO_SMC. However,
I'm not entirely satisfied with this change because I prefer that IPPROTO_SMC socks remain 
consistent with other AF_INET socks. So, it appears that this patch is the best solution now.

Anyway, I support this patch now. But I believe the description needs to be more accurate.

Thanks,
D. Wythe

I like the idea with the RCU version and it might solve the issue what 
the syzbot reported. However, I also agree with D. Wythe on lack of 
accurate description regarding this issue itself. That means where is 
the knot and how the RCU version solves the knot. That would also help 
people solve the similar problem later.
@Cong Wang, could you please add a bit more description I mentioned above?

Thanks,

It seems smc_vlan_by_tcpsk_walk() depends on RTNL.

We should at least add a READ_ONCE() in is_vlan_dev() :

return READ_ONCE(dev->priv_flags) & IFF_802_1Q_VLAN;
