[PATCH] vhost: fix avail idx update error when desc copy failed

[PATCH] vhost: fix avail idx update error when desc copy failed

[Gaoxiang Liu]

When copy_desc_to_mbuf function failed, i added 1.
And last_avail_idx added i, other than i - 1.
It may cause that the first mbuf in mbuf-list is dropped,
the second mbuf in mbuf-list is received in the following
rx procedure.
And The pkt_len of the second mbuf is zero, resulting in
segment fault when parsing the mbuf.

Guess this one is the latest? I believe something is wrong when you forward this,
it generates another patch because of your mail forwarding:

Could you help elaborate more? Do you mean first mbuf len is zero
as it's dropped? And where does the segfault happen? APP? Please
describe more to help understand the issue.

But I do notice one problem here is if vhost APP does not handle
the mbuf array correctly, some packets will be missed in the case
of pkts got dropped in the middle of a burst.

Re: [PATCH v2] vhost: fix avail idx update error when desc copy failed

[Gaoxiang Liu]

[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 3569 bytes --]

Hi，Chenbo


If vhost driver receives a mbuf list，the mbuf list has two mbuf，
and the pkt_len of the first mbuf in the mbuf list is the sum of data_len of all mbuf，and the pkt_len of the second mbuf is 0.
When desc_to_mbuf failed，i added 1 and last_avail_idx added i.

It may cause the first mbuf to be dropped and the second mbuf to be received.
It is abnormal，because the received mbuf is not
complete due to lack of the first mbuf，and its pkt_len is 0.
Because the sender sends a normal mbuf-list packet，the vhost app receives the mbuf and considers it should be a normal pkt.
The pkt_len is used ，but is not checked，when the vhost app calculates the checksum of the pkt.
The pkt_len minus the length of the UDP header is a large value because of the negative number reverse.
It results in segment fault when the vhost app uses the large value to traverse the mbuf ，if the address of the mbuf is largest in all mbuf，because the vhost app may access invalid memory .


Thanks.
Gaoxiang

First, one element of the mbuf array is for one packet, and it could be
chained mbuf. So if you are talking about chained mbuf, desc_to_mbuf should
fail for the first packet (in your case, this pkt is chained), so return 0,
and APP should check the return value, and knows that no pkt is received.
So I can't understand, if the second mbuf you mean is the second mbuf of
the chained mbuf, why will APP check that? It should never check based
on return value. Anything I missed?

Thanks,
Chenbo

[PATCH v2] vhost: fix avail idx update error when desc copy failed

[Gaoxiang Liu]

When copy_desc_to_mbuf function failed, i added 1.
And last_avail_idx added i, other than i - 1.
It may cause that the first mbuf in mbuf-list is dropped,
the second mbuf in mbuf-list is received in the following
rx procedure.
And The pkt_len of the second mbuf is zero, resulting in
segment fault when parsing the mbuf.
