Subject: [PATCH] ARM: add cmpxchg64 helper for ARMv7-M
Date: Sat, 10 Dec 2016 11:36:34 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20161210103646.1407256-1-arnd@arndb.de> (raw)
A change to the netfilter code in net-next introduced the first caller of
cmpxchg64 that can get built on ARMv7-M, leading to an error from the
assembler that points out the lack of 64-bit atomics on this architecture:
/tmp/ccMe7djj.s: Assembler messages:
/tmp/ccMe7djj.s:367: Error: selected processor does not support `ldrexd r0,r1,[lr]' in Thumb mode
/tmp/ccMe7djj.s:371: Error: selected processor does not support `strexd ip,r2,r3,[lr]' in Thumb mode
/tmp/ccMe7djj.s:389: Error: selected processor does not support `ldrexd r8,r9,[r7]' in Thumb mode
/tmp/ccMe7djj.s:393: Error: selected processor does not support `strexd lr,r0,r1,[r7]' in Thumb mode
scripts/Makefile.build:299: recipe for target 'net/netfilter/nft_counter.o' failed
This makes ARMv7-M use the same emulation from asm-generic/cmpxchg-local.h
that we use on architectures earlier than ARMv6K, to fix the build. The
32-bit atomics are available on ARMv7-M and we keep using them there.
This ARM specific change is probably something we should do regardless
of the netfilter code.
However, looking at the new nft_counter_reset() function in nft_counter.c,
this looks incorrect to me not just on ARMv7-M but also on other
architectures, with at least the following possible race:
CPU A CPU B
u64_stats_fetch_begin_irq
u64_stats_update_begin
fetch(upper 32 bits)
fetch(old)
cmpxchg64(counter, old, 0);
fetch(lower 32 bits)
u64_stats_fetch_retry_irq == true
store(upper 32 bits)
fetch(old)
cmpxchg64(counter, old, 0);
store(lower 32 bits)
u64_stats_update_end
u64_stats_fetch_retry_irq == true
fetch(old)
cmpxchg64(counter, old, 0);
u64_stats_fetch_retry_irq == false
In this example, the data returned by __nft_counter_reset() is zero
as we overwrite the per-cpu counter value during the retries.
Fixes: 43da04a593d8 ("netfilter: nf_tables: atomic dump and reset for stateful objects")
