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.

#23 [ffff88042d9b3f48] kernel_thread_helper at ffffffff812ebca4


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.

Thanks Jay. Can you please point me to the release of DPDK where it is fixed as I am currently using DPDK1.6, I might need to back port the fix. Or just replacing the netif_receive_skb() call with netif_rx() is good enough.

#23 [ffff88042d9b3f48] kernel_thread_helper at ffffffff812ebca4


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.

Again, looks like a bug, I think what you want there is netif_rx_ni instead of
netif_receive_skb

Do you see any benefit of calling netif_rx_ni() and not directly netif_rx() ?

Because its a bug.

Again, looks like a bug, I think what you want there is netif_rx_ni instead of netif_receive_skb

Yes, I see using the ni variant as not being a bug.  kni_net_rx is run from
process context (it runs as a thread created by kthread_create).  netif_rx
assumes execution occurs in interrupt context, so deadlocks like those below can
still occur if you don't disable pre-emption and irqs on the local cpu.
netif_rx_ni (the No Interrupt) variant, does that for you.

Thanks got your point then we should be changing this in DPDK also as in 1.8 we are using netif_rx in rte_kni.c.
