Hi, >What driver are you using (is that in-tree)? Can you reproduce the same issue >with a latest -net kernel, for example (or, a 'reasonably' recent one like 4.3 >or >4.4)? There has been quite a bit of changes in err queue handling (which also >accounts rmem) as well. How reliably can you trigger the issue? Does it trigger >with a completely different in-tree network driver as well with your tests? >Would >be useful to track/debug sk_rmem_alloc increases/decreases to see from which >path >new rmem is being charged in the time between packet_release() and >packet_sock_destruct() >for that socket ... > It seems race condition to us between packet_rcv and packet_close, we have tried to reproduce this issue by adding delay in skb_set_owner_r and issue gets reproduced quite frequently. we have added some traces and on analyzing we have realised following possible race condition.
packet_rcv packet_close skb_set_owner_r(skb, sk); skb_queue_purge(&sk->sk_receive_queue); spin_lock(&sk->sk_receive_queue.lock); __skb_queue_tail(&sk->sk_receive_queue, skb); spin_unlock(&sk->sk_receive_queue.lock); Since packet was not added to receive queue so receive queue purge will no have any impact. It will not free sk_buff stored in receive queue. So to fix this issue, we have make sure skb_set_owner_r(skb, sk) & __skb_queue_tail(&sk->sk_receive_queue, skb) is called under receive queue lock and we have moved receive queue purge from packet_release to packet_sock_destruct. we have added some traces in skb_set_owner_r & packet_sock_destruct. So this is what we got CPU 0 sk = db6d17c0 sk->sk_flags = 0x320 Size = 1984 Backtrace: (dump_backtrace+0x0/0x128) from (show_stack+0x20/0x28) (show_stack+0x0/0x28) from (dump_stack+0x24/0x28) (dump_stack+0x0/0x28) from (packet_rcv+0x480/0x488) (packet_rcv+0x0/0x488) from (__netif_receive_skb_core+0x53c/0x674) (__netif_receive_skb_core+0x0/0x674) from (__netif_receive_skb+0x20/0x74) (__netif_receive_skb+0x0/0x74) from (netif_receive_skb+0x2c/0xbc) (netif_receive_skb+0x0/0xbc) from (napi_gro_receive+0x90/0xc0) ......
