[ Upstream commit 102b55ee92 ]
Currently qdisc_run() checks the STATE_DEACTIVATED of lockless
qdisc before calling __qdisc_run(), which ultimately clear the
STATE_MISSED when all the skb is dequeued. If STATE_DEACTIVATED
is set before clearing STATE_MISSED, there may be rescheduling
of net_tx_action() at the end of qdisc_run_end(), see below:
CPU0(net_tx_atcion) CPU1(__dev_xmit_skb) CPU2(dev_deactivate)
. . .
. set STATE_MISSED .
. __netif_schedule() .
. . set STATE_DEACTIVATED
. . qdisc_reset()
. . .
.<--------------- . synchronize_net()
clear __QDISC_STATE_SCHED | . .
. | . .
. | . some_qdisc_is_busy()
. | . return *false*
. | . .
test STATE_DEACTIVATED | . .
__qdisc_run() *not* called | . .
. | . .
test STATE_MISS | . .
__netif_schedule()--------| . .
. . .
. . .
__qdisc_run() is not called by net_tx_atcion() in CPU0 because
CPU2 has set STATE_DEACTIVATED flag during dev_deactivate(), and
STATE_MISSED is only cleared in __qdisc_run(), __netif_schedule
is called at the end of qdisc_run_end(), causing tx action
rescheduling problem.
qdisc_run() called by net_tx_action() runs in the softirq context,
which should has the same semantic as the qdisc_run() called by
__dev_xmit_skb() protected by rcu_read_lock_bh(). And there is a
synchronize_net() between STATE_DEACTIVATED flag being set and
qdisc_reset()/some_qdisc_is_busy in dev_deactivate(), we can safely
bail out for the deactived lockless qdisc in net_tx_action(), and
qdisc_reset() will reset all skb not dequeued yet.
So add the rcu_read_lock() explicitly to protect the qdisc_run()
and do the STATE_DEACTIVATED checking in net_tx_action() before
calling qdisc_run_begin(). Another option is to do the checking in
the qdisc_run_end(), but it will add unnecessary overhead for
non-tx_action case, because __dev_queue_xmit() will not see qdisc
with STATE_DEACTIVATED after synchronize_net(), the qdisc with
STATE_DEACTIVATED can only be seen by net_tx_action() because of
__netif_schedule().
The STATE_DEACTIVATED checking in qdisc_run() is to avoid race
between net_tx_action() and qdisc_reset(), see:
commit d518d2ed86 ("net/sched: fix race between deactivation
and dequeue for NOLOCK qdisc"). As the bailout added above for
deactived lockless qdisc in net_tx_action() provides better
protection for the race without calling qdisc_run() at all, so
remove the STATE_DEACTIVATED checking in qdisc_run().
After qdisc_reset(), there is no skb in qdisc to be dequeued, so
clear the STATE_MISSED in dev_reset_queue() too.

V8: Clearing STATE_MISSED before calling __netif_schedule() has
avoid the endless rescheduling problem, but there may still
be a unnecessary rescheduling, so adjust the commit log.
