Bug ID: 774 Summary: Potential deadlock error due to the unrelased lock Product: DPDK Version: 21.08 Hardware: All OS: All Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: Normal Component: ethdev Assignee: dev@dpdk.org Reporter: dg573847...@gmail.com Target Milestone: --- source: dpdk/drivers/net/mlx5/mlx5_txpp.c Hi, developers, thank you for your checking. The lock &sh->txpp.mutex may be not released correctly the method returns at the branch !sh->txpp.refcnt || --sh->txpp.refcnt satisfies. The fix is to insert pthread_mutex_lock(&sh->txpp.mutex); before returning. void mlx5_txpp_stop(struct rte_eth_dev *dev) { struct mlx5_priv *priv = dev->data->dev_private; struct mlx5_dev_ctx_shared *sh = priv->sh; int ret; if (!priv->txpp_en) { return; } priv->txpp_en = 0; ret = pthread_mutex_lock(&sh->txpp.mutex); // the lock MLX5_ASSERT(!ret); RTE_SET_USED(ret); MLX5_ASSERT(sh->txpp.refcnt); if (!sh->txpp.refcnt || --sh->txpp.refcnt) return; // return without releasing mlx5_txpp_destroy(sh); ret = pthread_mutex_unlock(&sh->txpp.mutex); MLX5_ASSERT(!ret); RTE_SET_USED(ret); } -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
