Hello Rusty, seems that we still have a problem with virtio_net and the enable_cb callback. During a long running network stress tests with virtio and got the following oops: ------------[ cut here ]------------ kernel BUG at drivers/virtio/virtio_ring.c:230! illegal operation: 0001 [#1] SMP Modules linked in: CPU: 0 Not tainted 2.6.26-rc2-kvm-00436-gc94c08b-dirty #34 Process netserver (pid: 2582, task: 000000000fbc4c68, ksp: 000000000f42b990) Krnl PSW : 0704c00180000000 00000000002d0ec8 (vring_enable_cb+0x1c/0x60) R:0 T:1 IO:1 EX:1 Key:0 M:1 W:0 P:0 AS:3 CC:0 PM:0 EA:3 Krnl GPRS: 0000000000000000 0000000000000000 000000000ef3d000 0000000010009800 0000000000000000 0000000000419ce0 0000000000000080 000000000000007b 000000000adb5538 000000000ef40900 000000000ef40000 000000000ef40920 0000000000000000 0000000000000005 000000000029c1b0 000000000fea7d18 Krnl Code: 00000000002d0ebc: a7110001 tmll %r1,1 00000000002d0ec0: a7740004 brc 7,2d0ec8 00000000002d0ec4: a7f40001 brc 15,2d0ec6 >00000000002d0ec8: a517fffe nill %r1,65534 00000000002d0ecc: 40103000 sth %r1,0(%r3) 00000000002d0ed0: 07f0 bcr 15,%r0 00000000002d0ed2: e31020380004 lg %r1,56(%r2) 00000000002d0ed8: a7480000 lhi %r4,0 Call Trace: ([<000000000029c0fc>] virtnet_poll+0x290/0x3b8) [<0000000000333fb8>] net_rx_action+0x9c/0x1b8 [<00000000001394bc>] __do_softirq+0x74/0x108 [<000000000010d16a>] do_softirq+0x92/0xac [<0000000000139826>] irq_exit+0x72/0xc8 [<000000000010a7b6>] do_extint+0xe2/0x104 [<0000000000110508>] ext_no_vtime+0x16/0x1a Last Breaking-Event-Address: [<00000000002d0ec4>] vring_enable_cb+0x18/0x60 I looked into the virtio_net code for some time and I think the following scenario happened. Please look at virtnet_poll: [...] /* Out of packets? */ if (received < budget) { netif_rx_complete(vi->dev, napi); if (unlikely(!vi->rvq->vq_ops->enable_cb(vi->rvq)) && napi_schedule_prep(napi)) { vi->rvq->vq_ops->disable_cb(vi->rvq); __netif_rx_schedule(vi->dev, napi); goto again; } } If an interrupt arrives after netif_rx_complete, a second poll routine can run on a different cpu. The second check for napi_schedule_prep would prevent any harm in the network stack, but we have called enable_cb possibly after the disable_cb in skb_recv_done. static void skb_recv_done(struct virtqueue *rvq) { struct virtnet_info *vi = rvq->vdev->priv; /* Schedule NAPI, Suppress further interrupts if successful. */ if (netif_rx_schedule_prep(vi->dev, &vi->napi)) { rvq->vq_ops->disable_cb(rvq); __netif_rx_schedule(vi->dev, &vi->napi); } } That means that the second poll routine runs with interrupts enabled, which is ok, since we can handle additional interrupts. The problem is now that the second poll routine might also call enable_cb, triggering the BUG. The only solution I can come up with, is to remove the BUG statement in enable_cb - similar to disable_cb. Opinions or better ideas where the oops could come from?
