Subject: [dpdk-dev] Kernel deadlock due to rte_kni
Date: Wed, 25 Mar 2015 19:39:49 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <BN3PR0301MB12023157B42211C2C869B04EDA0B0@BN3PR0301MB1202.namprd03.prod.outlook.com> (raw)
Hi All,
There looks like an issue will rte_kni.ko which gets kernel into deadlock. We are trying to run rte_kni.ko with multiple thread support which are pinned to different non-isolated cores. When we test with tcp/tls the kernel is getting hanged in on race condition. Below is the kernel stack trace.

One further investigation, I found that in the file kni_net.c , function kni_net_rx_normal(), we are calling netif_receive_skb(), which normally is called in the softirq context in the kernel but in this case we are calling in normal case. On that same core if now we receive a softirq for the same tcp socket then we are going into deadload as when rte_kni has called the kernel function we have not disabled the softirq on the core. Now I have 2 questions regarding this
1. Why are we using netif_receive_skb(), is there any particular reason for this?
2. Normally all driver code wil be calling netif_rx to post the packets in the backlog and raises a softirq to do further processing up the stack. Why kni is not following the same ?
Can someone confirm that what should be done in this regard ? Awaiting the reply asap as we are blocked on this.
