[dpdk-dev] [PATCH] example/ipv4_multicast: fix app hanging when using clone

[Herakliusz Lipiec]

This example was dropping packets when using clone (ip 224.0.0.103).
The problem was that mbufs were not freed. This was caused by coping
ol_flags from cloned mbuf to header mbufs.

Hi,

What is this IP?
What is clone?

Mbuf is not freed because of ol_flags?
I feel this description should be improved.

The problem is that ipv4_multicast app:
1. invokes rte_pktmbuf_clone() for the packet 
(that creates a new mbuf with  IND_ATTACHED_MBUF set in ol_flags).
2. creates new mbuf containing  L2 header and chains it with cloned at step 1 mbuf.
3. copy ol_flags from cloned mbuf to new header mbuf.

So after step 3 L2 header mbuf also has IND_ATTACHED_MBUF set in ol_flags.
That makes pktmbuf_free() wrongly assume that this is an indirect mbuf,
which causes   all sorts of problems: incorrect behavior, silent memory corruption, etc.
The easiest way to reproduce the problem:
- run ipv4_multicast, using two ports:
   ipv4_multicast -l 0,1 - -p 0x3
send  8K+ packets to one of the ports with dest ip address: 224.0.0.103
ipv4_multicast will stop forward any packets.

In fact, there is no reason to copy ol_flags from the cloned packet.
So the fix is just to remove that code.

I agree with Thomas, needs clearer description. Suggest using some of 
the wording provided by Konstantin in later replies. Also, needs a 
Fixes: tag and a CC: stable, because it appears that this bug has been 
around for a few releases.

Good point, I forgot about 'fixes' and 'stable'.

[dpdk-dev] [PATCH v2] example/ipv4_multicast: fix app hanging when using clone

[Herakliusz Lipiec]

The ipv4_multicast sample application was dropping packets
when using mbuf clone. When creating an L2 header and copying
metadata from the source packet, the ol_flags were also copied
along with all the other metadata. Because the cloned packet
had IND_ATTACHED_MBUF flag set in its ol_flags,
this caused the packets to never be freed when using rte_pktmbuf_free.
Since copying ol_flags from the cloned packet is
not necessary in the first place, just don't do it.

Hi Herakliusz,

Since pkt->ol_flags might set some other bits except IND_ATTACHED_MBUF, how about set its value to original pkt->ol_flags?

Which flags you think we need to copy from cloned mbuf (segment #2) to new header?

Re: [dpdk-dev] [PATCH v2] example/ipv4_multicast: fix app hanging when using clone

[Wang, Dong1]

Hi Konstantin,

In this example, no flags be set by user, so no need to copy flags from original  mbuf.
I'm thinking about some DPDK developers may create their own application based on this example,  they add some flags before packet be cloned.

Dong

Then why to bother?

Hmm you receive a packet change l2 header and transmit it.
What flags you might need to copy from original header 
considering that only RX flags would be set at present moment?
If you let say want to insert vlan tag (or so), then you'll have to set new TX flags. 
Again, for timestamp you'll need to copy the timestamp value too,
which we don't support in that example.

Re: [dpdk-dev] [PATCH v2] example/ipv4_multicast: fix app hanging when using clone

Hi Dong,
I think that if a developer is to manipulate ol_flags, then its onto that developer to take care of copying ol_flags .

Re: [dpdk-dev] [PATCH v2] example/ipv4_multicast: fix app hanging when using clone

[Wang, Dong1]

Hi Konstantin & Herakliusz,

In mcast_out_pkt(), new header added and to be the first segment. Driver will check first segment's ol_flags when sending mbuf. So why new first segment didn't inherit old one's ol_flags? This function already copied other mbuf fields from old one.

Since this is an example and reference code, hope developer can reuse it smoothly. If they didn't notice ol_flags not be copied because ol_flags is not changed in this example, they may take some time to debug their application.

This is a tiny change to the patch, I hope it cloud be done.

Thanks,
Dong

Then why to bother?

Hmm you receive a packet change l2 header and transmit it.
What flags you might need to copy from original header considering that only RX flags would be set at present moment?
If you let say want to insert vlan tag (or so), then you'll have to set new TX flags. 
Again, for timestamp you'll need to copy the timestamp value too, which we don't support in that example.

TX flags are not set in cloned mbuf (only RX ones).

Because they are RX flags and they don't' really belong to new packet
we are going to send.
Also, as that bug shows it is error prone.

> This function already copied other mbuf fields from old one.

And from my perspective it is not needed and better be removed.
Though it is a subject of different patch probably.

For that scenario it is not needed.
Surely when user linking two packets manually (as we are doing here) it is his responsibility to update the mbuf fileds properly.
I think this is obvious thing and probably already mentioned in the docs.

In the code , function mcast_out_pkt() has the following code,

	/* copy metadata from source packet*/
	hdr->port = pkt->port;
	hdr->vlan_tci = pkt->vlan_tci;
	hdr->vlan_tci_outer = pkt->vlan_tci_outer;
	hdr->tx_offload = pkt->tx_offload;
	hdr->hash = pkt->hash;

all these are useless , is that right?
I will commit a patch to delete them later.
