[PATCH net] net: fix premature exit from NAPI state polling in napi_disable()
From: Alexander Lobakin
Date: Wed Nov 10 2021 - 14:11:39 EST
Commit 719c57197010 ("net: make napi_disable() symmetric with
enable") accidentally introduced a bug sometimes leading to a kernel
BUG when bringing an iface up/down under heavy traffic load.
Prior to this commit, napi_disable() was polling n->state until
none of (NAPIF_STATE_SCHED | NAPIF_STATE_NPSVC) is set and then
always flip them. Now there's a possibility to get away with the
NAPIF_STATE_SCHE unset as 'continue' drops us to the cmpxchg()
call with an unitialized variable, rather than straight to
another round of the state check.
Error path looks like:
napi_disable():
unsigned long val, new; /* new is uninitialized */
do {
val = READ_ONCE(n->state); /* NAPIF_STATE_NPSVC and/or
NAPIF_STATE_SCHED is set */
if (val & (NAPIF_STATE_SCHED | NAPIF_STATE_NPSVC)) { /* true */
usleep_range(20, 200);
continue; /* go straight to the condition check */
}
new = val | <...>
} while (cmpxchg(&n->state, val, new) != val); /* state == val, cmpxchg()
writes garbage */
napi_enable():
do {
val = READ_ONCE(n->state);
BUG_ON(!test_bit(NAPI_STATE_SCHED, &val)); /* 50/50 boom */
<...>
while the typical BUG splat is like:

Fix this by replacing this 'continue' with a goto to the beginning
of the loop body to restore the original behaviour.
This could be written without a goto, but would look uglier and
require one more indent level.
