Disabling bottoms halves acts as per-CPU BKL. On PREEMPT_RT code within
local_bh_disable() section remains preemtible. As a result high prior
tasks (or threaded interrupts) will be blocked by lower-prio task (or
threaded interrupts) which are long running which includes softirq
sections.
The proposed way out is to introduce explicit per-CPU locks for
resources which are protected by local_bh_disable() and use those only
on PREEMPT_RT so there is no additional overhead for !PREEMPT_RT builds.
The series introduces the infrastructure and converts large parts of
networking which is largest stake holder here. Once this done the
per-CPU lock from local_bh_disable() on PREEMPT_RT can be lifted.
Performance testing. Baseline is net-next as of commit 93bda33046e7a
("Merge branch'net-constify-ctl_table-arguments-of-utility-functions'")
plus v6.10-rc1. A 10GiG link is used between two hosts. The command
xdp-bench redirect-cpu --cpu 3 --remote-action drop eth1 -e
was invoked on the receiving side with a ixgbe. The sending side uses
pktgen_sample03_burst_single_flow.sh on i40e.

This diff appears to be noise.
v2…v3 https://lore.kernel.org/all/[email protected]/:
- WARN checks checks for bpf_net_ctx_get() have been dropped and all
NULL checks around it. This means bpf_net_ctx_get_ri() assumes the
context has been set and will segfault if it is not the case.
Suggested by Alexei and Jesper. This should always work or always
segfault.
- It has been suggested by Toke to embed struct bpf_net_context into
task_struct instead just a pointer to it. This would increase the size
of task_struct by 112 bytes instead just eight and Alexei didn't like
it due to the size impact with 1m threads. It is a pointer again.
v1…v2 https://lore.kernel.org/all/[email protected]/:
- Jakub complained about touching networking drivers to make the
additional locking work. Alexei complained about the additional
locking within the XDP/eBFP case.
This led to a change in how the per-CPU variables are accessed for the
XDP/eBPF case. On PREEMPT_RT the variables are now stored on stack and
the task pointer to the structure is saved in the task_struct while
keeping every for !RT unchanged. This was proposed as a RFC in
v1: https://lore.kernel.org/all/[email protected]/
and then updated
v2: https://lore.kernel.org/all/[email protected]/
- Renamed the container struct from xdp_storage to bpf_net_context.
Suggested by Toke Høiland-Jørgensen.
- Use the container struct also on !PREEMPT_RT builds. Store the
pointer to the on-stack struct in a per-CPU variable. Suggested by
Toke Høiland-Jørgensen.
This reduces the initial queue from 24 to 15 patches.
- There were complains about the scoped_guard() which shifts the whole
block and makes it harder to review because the whole gets removed and
added again. The usage has been replaced with local_lock_nested_bh()+
its unlock counterpart.
Sebastian
The else condition within __netdev_alloc_frag_align() is an open coded
__napi_alloc_frag_align().
Use __napi_alloc_frag_align() instead of open coding it.
Move fragsz assignment before page_frag_alloc_align() invocation because
__napi_alloc_frag_align() also contains this statement.

2.45.1
Add local_lock_nested_bh() locking. It is based on local_lock_t and the
naming follows the preempt_disable_nested() example.
For !PREEMPT_RT + !LOCKDEP it is a per-CPU annotation for locking
assumptions based on local_bh_disable(). The macro is optimized away
during compilation.
For !PREEMPT_RT + LOCKDEP the local_lock_nested_bh() is reduced to
the usual lock-acquire plus lockdep_assert_in_softirq() - ensuring that
BH is disabled.
For PREEMPT_RT local_lock_nested_bh() acquires the specified per-CPU
lock. It does not disable CPU migration because it relies on
local_bh_disable() disabling CPU migration.
With LOCKDEP it performans the usual lockdep checks as with !PREEMPT_RT.
Due to include hell the softirq check has been moved spinlock.c.
The intention is to use this locking in places where locking of a per-CPU
variable relies on BH being disabled. Instead of treating disabled
bottom halves as a big per-CPU lock, PREEMPT_RT can use this to reduce
the locking scope to what actually needs protecting.
A side effect is that it also documents the protection scope of the
per-CPU variables.

2.45.1
The backlog_napi locking (previously RPS) relies on explicit locking if
either RPS or backlog NAPI is enabled. If both are disabled then locking
was achieved by disabling interrupts except on PREEMPT_RT. PREEMPT_RT
was excluded because the needed synchronisation was already provided
local_bh_disable().
Since the introduction of backlog NAPI and making it mandatory for
PREEMPT_RT the ifdef within backlog_lock.*() is obsolete and can be
removed.
Remove the ifdefs in backlog_lock.*().

softnet_data::process_queue is a per-CPU variable and relies on disabled
BH for its locking. Without per-CPU locking in local_bh_disable() on

softnet_data::input_queue_head can be updated lockless. This is fine
because this value is only update CPU local by the local backlog_napi

Add a local_lock_t to softnet_data and use local_lock_nested_bh() for locking

There is no need to explicitly disable migration if bottom halves are
also disabled. Disabling BH implies disabling migration.
Remove migrate_disable() and rely solely on disabling BH to remain on
the same CPU.

2.45.1
Softirq is preemptible on PREEMPT_RT. Without a per-CPU lock in
local_bh_disable() there is no guarantee that only one device is
transmitting at a time.
With preemption and multiple senders it is possible that the per-CPU
recursion counter gets incremented by different threads and exceeds
XMIT_RECURSION_LIMIT leading to a false positive recursion alert.
Instead of adding a lock to protect the per-CPU variable it is simpler
to make the counter per-task. Sending and receiving skbs happens always
in thread context anyway.
Having a lock to protected the per-CPU counter would block/ serialize two
sending threads needlessly. It would also require a recursive lock to
ensure that the owner can increment the counter further.
Make the recursion counter a task_struct member on PREEMPT_RT.

2.45.1
The access to seg6_bpf_srh_states is protected by disabling preemption.
Based on the code, the entry point is input_action_end_bpf() and
every other function (the bpf helper functions bpf_lwt_seg6_*()), that
is accessing seg6_bpf_srh_states, should be called from within
input_action_end_bpf().
input_action_end_bpf() accesses seg6_bpf_srh_states first at the top of
the function and then disables preemption. This looks wrong because if
preemption needs to be disabled as part of the locking mechanism then
the variable shouldn't be accessed beforehand.
Looking at how it is used via test_lwt_seg6local.sh then
input_action_end_bpf() is always invoked from softirq context. If this
is always the case then the preempt_disable() statement is superfluous.
If this is not always invoked from softirq then disabling only
preemption is not sufficient.
Replace the preempt_disable() statement with nested-BH locking. This is
not an equivalent replacement as it assumes that the invocation of
input_action_end_bpf() always occurs in softirq context and thus the
preempt_disable() is superfluous.
Add a local_lock_t the data structure and use local_lock_nested_bh() in
guard notation for locking. Add lockdep_assert_held() to ensure the lock
is held while the per-CPU variable is referenced in the helper functions.

2.45.1
The XDP redirect process is two staged:
- bpf_prog_run_xdp() is invoked to run a eBPF program which inspects the
packet and makes decisions. While doing that, the per-CPU variable
bpf_redirect_info is used.
- Afterwards xdp_do_redirect() is invoked and accesses bpf_redirect_info
and it may also access other per-CPU variables like xskmap_flush_list.
At the very end of the NAPI callback, xdp_do_flush() is invoked which
does not access bpf_redirect_info but will touch the individual per-CPU
lists.
The per-CPU variables are only used in the NAPI callback hence disabling
bottom halves is the only protection mechanism. Users from preemptible
context (like cpu_map_kthread_run()) explicitly disable bottom halves
for protections reasons.
Without locking in local_bh_disable() on PREEMPT_RT this data structure
requires explicit locking.
PREEMPT_RT has forced-threaded interrupts enabled and every
NAPI-callback runs in a thread. If each thread has its own data
structure then locking can be avoided.
Create a struct bpf_net_context which contains struct bpf_redirect_info.
Define the variable on stack, use bpf_net_ctx_set() to save a pointer to
it. Use the __free() annotation to automatically reset the pointer once
function returns.
The bpf_net_ctx_set() may nest. For instance a function can be used from
within NET_RX_SOFTIRQ/ net_rx_action which uses bpf_net_ctx_set() and
NET_TX_SOFTIRQ which does not. Therefore only the first invocations
updates the pointer.
Use bpf_net_ctx_get_ri() as a wrapper to retrieve the current struct
bpf_redirect_info.
On PREEMPT_RT the pointer to bpf_net_context is saved task's
task_struct. On non-PREEMPT_RT builds the pointer saved in a per-CPU
variable (which is always NODE-local memory). Using always the
bpf_net_context approach has the advantage that there is almost zero
differences between PREEMPT_RT and non-PREEMPT_RT builds.

sigpool_scratch is a per-CPU variable and relies on disabled BH for its
locking. Without per-CPU locking in local_bh_disable() on PREEMPT_RT
this data structure requires explicit locking.
Make a struct with a pad member (original sigpool_scratch) and a
local_lock_t and use local_lock_nested_bh() for locking. This change
adds only lockdep coverage and does not alter the functional behaviour
for !PREEMPT_RT.

I think we need to zero-initialise all the context objects we allocate
on the stack.
The reason being that an XDP program can return XDP_REDIRECT without
calling any of the redirect helpers first; which will lead to
xdp_do_redirect() being called without any of the fields in struct
bpf_redirect_info having being set. This can lead to a crash if the
values happen to be the wrong value; and if we're not initialising the
stack space used by this struct, we have no guarantees about what value
they will end up with.
We fixed a similar bug relatively recently, see:

With the zeroing of the stack variable mentioned above, I agree that
this is not needed anymore, but I think we should just get rid of the
function entirely and put a comment in devmap.c instead of the call to
the (now empty) function.

My hunch would be that this would be in a cache line we're touching
anyway, so it won't make much difference? But better measure, I suppose :)

As I wrote in the changelog for v4, I haven't notice a difference. I
tried to move bpf_net_ctx_set() from cpu_map_bpf_prog_run() to
cpu_map_kthread_run() to have this assignment only once and I didn't see
a difference/ I couldn't tell the two kernels apart.
This is what I have been using for testing

This would be my preferred solution.
See below, your benchmark wasn't testing/measuring this changed code on
remote CPU running kthread.

As we saw earlier (with your hardware setup) this test is benchmarking
the RX-NAPI XDP-redirect code. As the cpumap "remote" CPUs kthread had
idle cycles.
The extra clearing bpf_net_ctx_set() for each packet in the kthread on
the remote CPU will not change the benchmark numbers (as it have idle
cycles).
Looking closer at kernel code + your patch, I see that this clearing
isn't done for each packet, but per bulk (up-to CPUMAP_BATCH 8). Given
that, I'm more okay with this change.
