Bug ID: 1944
Summary: Crash due to corruption from data race in page
prefault in alloc_seg()
Product: DPDK
Version: 24.11
Hardware: All
OS: Linux
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: Normal
Component: core
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
Target Milestone: ---
Hi, recently we caught a data corruption seemingly caused by a page prefault in alloc_seg() function from lib/eal/linux/eal_memalloc.c:
Quoted 1 line
*(volatile int *)addr = *(volatile int *)addr;
Internal investigation showed that rte_eal_init() from a secondary process was indirectly calling this function, which in rare cases led to data corruption.
In our case it resulted in a scheduler crash:
Quoted 2 lines
EAL: PANIC in
eth_event_queue_callback():
Cannot restartRxQ(p:1,q:0)after max trying times 4, abort!
The issue is reported for v24.11, but I don't think it is tied to this specific version and is a general problem since that prefault was added in v18.05.
