Subject: [PATCH v2 2/2] lib/graph: default-align rte_graph_cluster_stats
Date: Tue, 17 Jun 2025 16:13:38 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250617151339.28794-2-marat.khalili@huawei.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20250617151339.28794-1-marat.khalili@huawei.com>

This was flagged by undefined behaviour sanitizer: struct
rte_graph_cluster_stats is declared as `__rte_cache_aligned` but was
allocated using stdlib realloc which caused misaligned allocation. More
than one test needs to be executed in series in order to reproduce the
problem using graph_autotest, e.g:

    app/dpdk-test --no-huge --no-pci -m128 graph_autotest graph_autotest

First sanitizer message  (similar ones follow):

    lib/graph/graph_stats.c:209:13: runtime error: member access within
    misaligned address 0x606000008ea0 for type 'struct
    rte_graph_cluster_stats', which requires 64 byte alignment

To fix the issue remove `__rte_cache_aligned` attribute from struct
rte_graph_cluster_stats and struct rte_graph_cluster_node_stats that it
contains. There is no need to keep them cache-aligned since they are
only used in the slow path.

Fixes: af1ae8b6a32 ("graph: implement stats")

v2: Following the suggestions from Jerin Jacob changed the fix to simply
remove non-default alignment. Although there are many ways to make
alignment work, I personally agree that it is probably better to keep
the code simple as long as performance is not an issue.

Although reducing _actual_ alignment of allocated objects would probably
be a binary compatibility issue, here we are only changing _declared_
alignment to match the actual one, so it will more likely fix things
than break them.

devtools/test-meson-builds.sh completes successfully.
