[PATCH net-next 15/24] net: Use nested-BH locking for XDP redirect.

From: Sebastian Andrzej Siewior
Date: Fri Dec 15 2023 - 12:15:32 EST


The per-CPU variables used during bpf_prog_run_xdp() invocation and
later during xdp_do_redirect() rely on disabled BH for their protection.
Without locking in local_bh_disable() on PREEMPT_RT these data structure
require explicit locking.

This is a follow-up on the previous change which introduced
bpf_run_lock.redirect_lock and uses it now within drivers.

The simple way is to acquire the lock before bpf_prog_run_xdp() is
invoked and hold it until the end of function.
This does not always work because some drivers (cpsw, atlantic) invoke
xdp_do_flush() in the same context.
Acquiring the lock in bpf_prog_run_xdp() and dropping in
xdp_do_redirect() (without touching drivers) does not work because not
all driver, which use bpf_prog_run_xdp(), do support XDP_REDIRECT (and
invoke xdp_do_redirect()).

Ideally the minimal locking scope would be bpf_prog_run_xdp() +
xdp_do_redirect() and everything else (error recovery, DMA unmapping,
free/ alloc of memory, …) would happen outside of the locked section.
