When napi_gro_receive\nis used, the driver must either call napi_complete/napi_rx_complete, or\ncall napi_gro_flush in softirq context if the driver uses the primitives\n__napi_complete/__napi_rx_complete.\n\nProtocols will set the gro_receive and gro_complete function pointers in\norder to participate in this scheme.\n\nIn addition to the packet, gro_receive will get a list of currently held\npackets. Each packet in the list has a same_flow field which is non-zero\nif it is a potential match for the new packet. For each packet that may\nmatch, they also have a flush field which is non-zero if the held packet\nmust not be merged with the new packet.\n\nOnce gro_receive has determined that the new skb matches a held packet,\nthe held packet may be processed immediately if the new skb cannot be\nmerged with it. In this case gro_receive should return the pointer to\nthe existing skb in gro_list. Otherwise the new skb should be merged into\nthe existing packet and NULL should be returned, unless the new skb makes\nit impossible for any further merges to be made (e.g., FIN packet) where\nthe merged skb should be returned.\n\nWhenever the skb is merged into an existing entry, the gro_receive\nfunction should set NAPI_GRO_CB(skb)-\u003esame_flow. Note that if an skb\nmerely matches an existing entry but can\u0027t be merged with it, then\nthis shouldn\u0027t be set.\n\nIf gro_receive finds it pointless to hold the new skb for future merging,\nit should set NAPI_GRO_CB(skb)-\u003eflush.\n\nHeld packets will be flushed by napi_gro_flush which is called by\nnapi_complete and napi_rx_complete.\n\nCurrently held packets are stored in a singly liked list just like LRO.\nThe list is limited to a maximum of 8 entries.

Since the poll_list isn\u0027t surrounded by any other\nstructure, the returned data from that list_entry call in this situation is\ngarbage, and any number of crashes can result based on what exactly that garbage\nis.\n\nGiven that its not fasible for performance reasons to place exclusive locks\narround each cpus poll list to provide that mutal exclusion, I think the best\nsolution is modify the netpoll path in such a way that we continue to guarantee\nthat the poll_list for a cpu is in fact exclusive to that cpu. To do this I\u0027ve\nimplemented the patch below. It adds an additional bit to the state field in\nthe napi_struct. When executing napi-\u003epoll from the netpoll_path, this bit will\nbe set. When a driver calls netif_rx_complete, if that bit is set, it will not\nremove the napi_struct from the poll_list. That work will be saved for the next\niteration of net_rx_action.\n\nI\u0027ve tested this and it seems to work well. About the biggest drawback I can\nsee to it is the fact that it might result in an extra loop through\nnet_rx_action in the event that the device is actually contended for (i.e. the\nnetpoll path actually preforms all the needed work no the device, and the call\nto net_rx_action winds up doing nothing, except removing the napi_struct from\nthe poll_list. However I think this is probably a small price to pay, given\nthat the alternative is a crash.\n\nSigned-off-by: Neil Horman \u003cnhorman@tuxdriver.com\u003e\nSigned-off-by: David S.

Within a single qdisc this could be avoided by\nother means easily, upper qdiscs would still increase the counter\nwhen we return anything besides NET_XMIT_SUCCESS though.\n\nThis means we need a new NET_XMIT return value to indicate this to\nthe upper qdiscs. So I\u0027d suggest to introduce NET_XMIT_STOLEN,\nreturn that to upper qdiscs and translate it to NET_XMIT_SUCCESS\nin dev_queue_xmit, similar to NET_XMIT_BYPASS.\"\n\nDavid Miller \u003cdavem@davemloft.net\u003e noticed:\n\"Maybe these NET_XMIT_* values being passed around should be a set of\nbits.
