LinuxLists.cc - [PATCH net-next v4 3/3] skbuff: keep track of pp page when pp_frag

2021-09-30 08:13:14

Subject: [PATCH net-next v4 3/3] skbuff: keep track of pp page when pp_frag_count is used

As the skb->pp_recycle and page->pp_magic may not be enough
to track if a frag page is from page pool after the calling
of __skb_frag_ref(), mostly because of a data race, see:
commit 2cc3aeb5eccc ("skbuff: Fix a potential race while
recycling page_pool packets").

There may be clone and expand head case that might lose the
track if a frag page is from page pool or not.

And not being able to keep track of pp page may cause problem
for the skb_split() case in tso_fragment() too:
Supposing a skb has 3 frag pages, all coming from a page pool,
and is split to skb1 and skb2:
skb1: first frag page + first half of second frag page
skb2: second half of second frag page + third frag page

How do we set the skb->pp_recycle of skb1 and skb2?
1. If we set both of them to 1, then we may have a similar
race as the above commit for second frag page.
2. If we set only one of them to 1, then we may have resource
leaking problem as both first frag page and third frag page
are indeed from page pool.

Increment the pp_frag_count of pp page frag in __skb_frag_ref(),
and only use page->pp_magic to indicate a pp page frag in
__skb_frag_unref() to keep track of pp page frag.

Similar handling is done for the head page of a skb too.

As we need the head page of a compound page to decide if it is
from page pool at first, so __page_frag_cache_drain() and
page_ref_inc() is used to avoid unnecessary compound_head()
calling.

There's a BUG_ON we are now ignoring on get_page.

Same here, freeing the page is not the only thing put_page does.

Regardless of the comments above, providing some numbers on how the
patches affect performance (at least on hns3), would be good to have.

I'll try giving this another look. I still think having three indicators
to look at before recycling the page is not ideal.

Actually it is a VM_BUG_ON_PAGE(), and it is only turned into a
BUG() while CONFIG_DEBUG_VM is defined.

As there is already tracepoint in page_ref_inc(), I am not sure
VM_BUG_ON_PAGE() is really needed anymore, as there are a few other
place calling page_ref_inc() directly without the VM_BUG_ON_PAGE().

I think the __page_frag_cache_drain() has the VM_BUG_ON_PAGE() as
put_page() does.

The one thing I am not sure about it is the devmap managed pages,
which is handled in put_page(), but is not handle in
__page_frag_cache_drain(). Is it possible that devmap managed pages
could be used in the network stack?

As mentioned in the cover letter:
"The small packet drop test show no notiable performance degradation
when page pool is disabled."

And no notiable performance degradation for the page pool enabled case
with hns3 too.

All three indicators only need to be done when a page has PP_SIGNATURE set,
but do not want to be considered to be a pp page, which seems to be a rare
case?

If the mlx5 driver can change the way of using the page pool as it is now,
we can remove the addtional checking in the future, and just use the pp_magic
to indicate a pp page.
