Bug ID: 882
Summary: ixgbe dirver may resue some unreleased mbufs
Product: DPDK
Version: 20.11
Hardware: x86
OS: Linux
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: Normal
Component: ethdev
Assignee: dev@dpdk.org
Reporter: zhengbin.89740@bytedance.com
Target Milestone: ---

this demo can reproduce this bug
file: drivers/net/ixgbe/ixgbe_rxtx_vec_sse.c:334
func: _recv_raw_pkts_vec()
This bug will appear when the following conditions are met:
1. arg `nb_pkts` is greater than the `RTE_IXGBE_RXQ_REARM_THRESH`
2. the application holds mbuf instead of releasing it immediately
On `_recv_raw_pkts_vec()`, if `nb_pkts` is greater than the
`RTE_IXGBE_RXQ_REARM_THRESH` and `rx_tail` wrap back to zero,
in this case `rx_tail` may advance faster than `rxrearm_start`, which may cause
some unreleased mbufs be reused.
e.g.
nb_rx_desc: 1024 RDH: 972 RDT: 991 rxrearm_nb: 991 rxrearm_start: 992 rx_tail:
959
nb_rx_desc: 1024 RDH: 1004 RDT: 1023 rxrearm_nb: 991 rxrearm_start: 0 rx_tail:
991
nb_rx_desc: 1024 RDH: 12 RDT: 31 rxrearm_nb: 991 rxrearm_start: 32 rx_tail:
1023
nb_rx_desc: 1024 RDH: 31 RDT: 63 rxrearm_nb: 960 rxrearm_start: 64 rx_tail: 0
nb_rx_desc: 1024 RDH: 95 RDT: 95 rxrearm_nb: 1016 rxrearm_start: 96 rx_tail: 88
nb_rx_desc: 1024 RDH: 95 RDT: 127 rxrearm_nb: 991 rxrearm_start: 128 rx_tail:
95
...
nb_rx_desc: 1024 RDH: 908 RDT: 927 rxrearm_nb: 991 rxrearm_start: 928 rx_tail:
895
nb_rx_desc: 1024 RDH: 940 RDT: 959 rxrearm_nb: 991 rxrearm_start: 960 rx_tail:
927
nb_rx_desc: 1024 RDH: 980 RDT: 991 rxrearm_nb: 991 rxrearm_start: 992 rx_tail:
959
nb_rx_desc: 1024 RDH: 991 RDT: 991 rxrearm_nb: 1026 rxrearm_start: 992 rx_tail:
994
when `rx_tail` catches up with `rxrearm_start`, 2(994 - 992) unreleased mbuf be
reused!
The simplest solution is to limit the size of `nb_pkts` to no more than
`RTE_IXGBE_RXQ_REARM_THRESH`.
However, this method may affect the packet receiving speed of the application.
Just like it.
