Subject: [PATCH 5.9 007/105] net, xsk: Avoid taking multiple skbuff references
Date: Mon, 14 Dec 2020 18:27:41 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20201214172555.632033722@linuxfoundation.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20201214172555.280929671@linuxfoundation.org>

From: Björn Töpel <bjorn.topel@intel.com>

[ Upstream commit 36ccdf85829a7dd6936dba5d02fa50138471f0d3 ]

Commit 642e450b6b59 ("xsk: Do not discard packet when NETDEV_TX_BUSY")
addressed the problem that packets were discarded from the Tx AF_XDP
ring, when the driver returned NETDEV_TX_BUSY. Part of the fix was
bumping the skbuff reference count, so that the buffer would not be
freed by dev_direct_xmit(). A reference count larger than one means
that the skbuff is "shared", which is not the case.

If the "shared" skbuff is sent to the generic XDP receive path,
netif_receive_generic_xdp(), and pskb_expand_head() is entered the
BUG_ON(skb_shared(skb)) will trigger.

This patch adds a variant to dev_direct_xmit(), __dev_direct_xmit(),
where a user can select the skbuff free policy. This allows AF_XDP to
avoid bumping the reference count, but still keep the NETDEV_TX_BUSY
behavior.

Fixes: 642e450b6b59 ("xsk: Do not discard packet when NETDEV_TX_BUSY")
