Details

Summary

LAGG_WLOCK was completely contained inside LAGG_XLOCK, and
the rmlock is triggering LORs in the multicast stuff. Switch LAGG_RLOCK
to LAGG_SLOCK.

Test Plan

Test for performance regressions and check for LAGG_SLOCK recursion.

Event Timeline

Rather than remove LAGG_WLOCK_ASSERT()s, convert to LAGG_XLOCK_ASSERT()

sys/net/if_lagg.c
1684

I don't think we want to be acquiring sleep locks in the data path. A more substantive refactoring is in order.

What we need to do is not be traversing the list in the data path and just hold a reference from an array to all the ports. At that point we're safe just using an sx lock. I think we can handle this with EBR + SX. I'll hack something up with subr_epoch

Yeah, all the LAGG_RLOCK -> LAGG_SLOCK conversions need to be fixed up... right now it's a LOR generator for sure.

Ressurect the rwlock, but only to protect the new sc_slowpath boolean.
If the slowpath is currently running, DELAY(1) until it's not. Still a
bit of a hack, but now it doesn't (shouldn't) cause LORs.

Protect against multiple slowpath entries.

Use bool and true/false rather than _Bool and 1/0

Would you mind describe the proposed locking model somewhere in the file explicitly?
In particular, 1) what does _XLOCK or _SLOCK locks protect? 2) How does the sc_slowpath work? 3) What is "right" lock order?
It would be beneficial to describe some examples of problematic potential LORs as well.

sys/net/if_lagg.c
1684

Why do you think it is possible to have DELAY(1) on the datapath?

sys/net/if_lagg.h
257–258

These primitives seem to be used in the control path. Why not convert them to functions?
This kind of spaghetti is unmaintainable.

sys/net/if_lagg.c

Fixed (lagg_rlock() uses cpu_spinwait() now).

sys/net/if_lagg.h
257–258

Done. I also did the lagg_rlock and lagg_runlock() as inline.

Destroy rm lock, clean up spurious changes.

Use the new epoch based reclamation API. Now the hot paths will not
block at all, and the sx lock is used for the softc data.

Obtained from mmacy@, I'm testing now.

epoch(9) documentation is forthcoming but in the meantime some clarification of semantics:

epoch does not have lock ordering issues its only restrictions are:

  • While in an epoch section one can't do a preemptible epoch_enter on a different epoch_t
  • No sleeping or sx lock acquisition in an epoch section
  • One must use safe list traversal and removal routines
  • Object destruction must follow a grace period

dumbbell@ has reported that this fixes his current problems with lagg(4) panicing on his hosts.

Thank you for the quick fix!

Since then I hit two panics on two laptops with the same kernel, but I'm not sure they are related to lagg(4).

The first one where lagg(4) is used with one em(4) only underneath:

Both panics occured during boot, never after. Also, they occured once each in the past two days, despite numerous reboots.

Kernel is compiled from rS333556 and local modifications are:

  • the patch to lagg(4) from this review
  • the patch from D15070 (evdev)
  • the patch from D15302 (vt(4))
