PATCH 1/2 IB/rxe: Fix kernel panic from skb destructor

From: Yonatan Cohen <yonatanc-VPRAkNaXOzVWk0Htik3J/[email protected]>

In the time between rxe_send has finished and skb destructor called, the QP's ref count might be 0, leading to a possible QP destruction. This will lead to a kernel panic when the destructor dereferences the QP.

The operation of incrementing QP ref count at rxe_send and decrementing from skb destructor will prevent this crash.

PATCH 2/2 IB/rxe: Set dma_mask and coherent_dma_mask

From: yonatanc <yonatanc-VPRAkNaXOzVWk0Htik3J/[email protected]>

The RXE coupled with dummy device causes to the kernel panic attached below. The panic happens when ib_register_device tries to set dma_mask by accessing a NULLed parent device.

The RXE does not actually use DMA, so we can set the dma_mask to architecture value.

Re: [PATCH rdma-next 2/2] IB/rxe: Set dma_mask and coherent_dma_mask

In reply to a message not in the archive

Hi Yonatan and Leon,
In one of my servers i got kernel oops also in ib_register_device when using dummy device (macvtap) with rxe so was blindly hoping this patch would solve it but is is not.

Crash is in alloc_name somewhere in the "list_for_each_entry" loop, i think first line of it.

Anyway, steps that i'm doing are:

$ ip link add link eth0 name macvtap3 type macvtap mode bridge
$ modprobe ib_core ib_umad rdma_ucm ib_uverbs rdma_rxe
$ echo eth0 > /sys/module/rdma_rxe/parameters/add
$ echo macvtap3 > /sys/module/rdma_rxe/parameters/add
At this point the system crash.

I'm using 4.12.0-rc6.
This is 100% reproduced.
Interesting thing is that i'm unable to reproduce it on my workstation.

See the below kernel oops:

The RXE coupled with dummy device causes to the kernel panic attached below. The panic happens when ib_register_device tries to set dma_mask by accessing a NULLed parent device.

The RXE does not actually use DMA, so we can set the dma_mask to architecture value.

Re: [PATCH rdma-next 2/2] IB/rxe: Set dma_mask and coherent_dma_mask

Quoted 15 lines · Yuval Shaia

Hi Yonatan and Leon,
In one of my servers i got kernel oops also in ib_register_device when using dummy device (macvtap) with rxe so was blindly hoping this patch would solve it but is is not.

Crash is in alloc_name somewhere in the "list_for_each_entry" loop, i think first line of it.

Anyway, steps that i'm doing are:

$ ip link add link eth0 name macvtap3 type macvtap mode bridge
$ modprobe ib_core ib_umad rdma_ucm ib_uverbs rdma_rxe
$ echo eth0 > /sys/module/rdma_rxe/parameters/add
$ echo macvtap3 > /sys/module/rdma_rxe/parameters/add
At this point the system crash.

I'm using 4.12.0-rc6.
This is 100% reproduced.
Interesting thing is that i'm unable to reproduce it on my workstation.

thanks for the report Yuval
You said that it happens in only one of your servers but not in your workstation, right?
Did you try to reproduce with the above scenario on different servers with the same configuration?

This series has been applied to 4.13-rc, thanks.

FWIW Leon, if you have a series, even if it's a short 2 patch series, I prefer a cover letter. It doesn't need to be long, and can just be something like "I have two bug fixes for rxe in this series", but I dislike responding to a patch and saying I applied a series.
