If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Eric Dumazet commit d7ce36924344ace0dbdc855b1206cacc46b36d45 upstream. Some servers experienced fatal deadlocks because of a combination of bugs, leading to multiple cpus calling dump_stack(). The checksumming bug was fixed in commit 34ae6a1aa054 ("ipv6: update skb->csum when CE mark is propagated"). The second problem is a faulty locking in dump_stack() CPU1 runs in process context and calls dump_stack(), grabs dump_lock. CPU2 receives a TCP packet under softirq, grabs socket spinlock, and call dump_stack() from netdev_rx_csum_fault(). dump_stack() spins on atomic_cmpxchg(&dump_lock, -1, 2), since dump_lock is owned by CPU1 While dumping its stack, CPU1 is interrupted by a softirq, and happens to process a packet for the TCP socket locked by CPU2. CPU1 spins forever in spin_lock() : deadlock Stack trace on CPU1 looked like : NMI backtrace for cpu 1 RIP: _raw_spin_lock+0x25/0x30 ...
