[dpdk-dev] [PATCH v3 0/4] Memory corruption due to HW rings allocation

[dpdk-dev] [PATCH v3 0/4] Memory corruption due to HW rings allocation

[Renata Saiakhova]

igb and ixgbe and some other drivers allocate HW rings using rte_eth_dma_zone_reserve(),
which checks first if the memzone exists for a given name, consisting of port
id, queue_id, rx/tx direction, but not for the size, alignment, and socket_id.
If the memzone with a given name exists it is returned, otherwise it is
allocated.
Disconnecting dpdk port from one type of interface (igb) and connecting it
to another type of interface (ixgbe) for the same port id, potentially creates
memory overlap and corruption, because it may require memzone of bigger size.
That's what is happening from switching from igb to ixgbe having the same port
id.

v2->v3: Remove #undef ETH_DMA_MZONE_NAME and minor changes in code standard
v1->v2: Minor changes on code standard and additional fixes in i40e em and ice drivers

If rc <  RTE_MEMZONE_NAMESIZE && !mz, what value should be return base 
on the parameter description in .h?

Although it would not affect the other patch set, but could you please 
clarify it?

+1,

When 'mz' not found return value will be wrong according API documentation.

Re: [dpdk-dev] [PATCH v3 3/4] drivers/net: Fix in i40e HW rings memory overlap

[Zhao1, Wei]

Hi, Renata Saiakhova

   I think this patch is very important, It seems all kind of NIC has memory leak problem that used for store
Tx or rx descriptor. If that is true, memory point by rxq-> rx_ring/ txq-> tx_ring will never be freed even if dev_close? 
Is my understanding right or wrong?

If that is true, it seems you should also add in functioni40e_fdir_teardown(), because
Tx_ring allocated in i40e_fdir_setup_tx_resources() also need freed, and memzones need to be delete.
Is that so?

Thanks.

That is right as far as I understand, and yes we should free them in dev_close.
I think DPDK relies on that the memory will be freed on the process exit and
sometimes behaves lazy on the memory free as being this case.

I think all driver patches can be squashed into single patch, overall they are
implementing same logic.

But as mentioned before, there are multiple other drivers allocating HW rings
with exact same name. At least I can see:
iavf
nfp
fm10k
axgbe

Or how can we know if a new PMD won't cause exact same behavior? What to you
think adding pmd name as prefix to queue memzone name for all PMDs? This can
help new PMDs using existing code as sample.

I don't know if it has been discussed before, but wouldn't update the
'rte_eth_dma_zone_reserve()' to check the size & alignment instead of just name
fix the issue for all drivers without needing to update them?

Re: [dpdk-dev] [PATCH v3 0/4] Memory corruption due to HW rings allocation

[Renata Saiakhova]

Hi Ferruh,

thanks for comments,

are the rte_eth_dma_zone_reserve() calls always used to allocate HW rings? It is not totally clear to me. That was partly the reason I don't do the fix for every driver which uses this API. I made fixes in the drivers which uses the same pattern to allocate / release queues, for other drivers I was not sure but anyway I couldn't spend more time for further investigations. In the company I work for we use dpdk for our project and maintain it in separate tree, and the vulnerability with HW rings is a real issue for igb and ixgbe drivers and needs to be fixed. Therefore I would like this patch to be accepted in order to not maintain the fix ourselves. But unfortunately I don't have resources (e.g. time) to fix the issue for all the drivers, because, as I mentioned, they are not following the same pattern to release their queues. So my proposal is that I fix it in this patch in a number of drivers (including igb, ixgbe and i40e) and others can take over and improve other drivers, if they see the same issue. This is also a reason why the drivers' changes are not in one commit for all the drivers.

For the proposal adding pmd name as prefix to queue memzone name or update the 'rte_eth_dma_zone_reserve()' to check the size & alignment instead of just a name, I don't know, as an external person, how sensitive dpdk project to change an internal API and existing code (the call should be changed in all the drivers). But anyway, I think the real problem is more an absence of memzone pointer, and in long term it should be solved in this way, rather than search by name.

Kind regards,
Renata

Re: [dpdk-dev] [PATCH v3 0/4] Memory corruption due to HW rings allocation

[Zhao1, Wei]

I am sure i40e FDIR filter also allocate ring for filter programing, it also has the same issue. Ice NIC the same.
Although we can avoid this issue by change ring name to "igb_tx_ring" and so on, but the issue of memory for ring not freed after close is still exsit.
Support this comment. If no one take over all the work for all the PMD, we had better accept this patch.

Hi Renata,

'rte_eth_dma_zone_reserve()' returning existing memzone just based on 'name'
without checking the size, alignment, socket_id seems wrong to me, let me check
it, it shouldn't be hard to update.

But even 'rte_eth_dma_zone_reserve()' checks won't be enough (what to do if
check fails and not returns a memzone?), the proper solution is PMD free the
memzone as they removed, as done in this patch.

Also I suggested prefixing the memzone name as workaround but instead we can go
with this patchset with the implemented PMDs and other PMD owners can implement
the free when they need instead of workaround.

There is a comment from Wie to add more frees to i40e, and there is another from
Jeff on 'rte_eth_dma_zone_free()' return type, can you please check them? So we
can proceed with this patch for the release.

Thanks,
ferruh

Hi Ferruh,

I've just send a new corrected version of the patchset, which takes into 
account the comments of Wie and Jeff, hope it is OK now.

Kind regards and thank you,

Renata
