    ixgbe: Fix panic during XDP_TX with > 64 CPUs · c23ae509
    John Hickey authored
    Commit 4fe81585 ("ixgbe: let the xdpdrv work with more than 64 cpus")
    adds support to allow XDP programs to run on systems with more than
    64 CPUs by locking the XDP TX rings and indexing them using cpu % 64
    (IXGBE_MAX_XDP_QS).
    
    Upon trying this out patch on a system with more than 64 cores,
    the kernel paniced with an array-index-out-of-bounds at the return in
    ixgbe_determine_xdp_ring in ixgbe.h, which means ixgbe_determine_xdp_q_idx
    was just returning the cpu instead of cpu % IXGBE_MAX_XDP_QS.  An example
    splat:

    I think this is how it happens:
    
    Upon loading the first XDP program on a system with more than 64 CPUs,
    ixgbe_xdp_locking_key is incremented in ixgbe_xdp_setup.  However,
    immediately after this, the rings are reconfigured by ixgbe_setup_tc.
    ixgbe_setup_tc calls ixgbe_clear_interrupt_scheme which calls
    ixgbe_free_q_vectors which calls ixgbe_free_q_vector in a loop.
    ixgbe_free_q_vector decrements ixgbe_xdp_locking_key once per call if
    it is non-zero.  Commenting out the decrement in ixgbe_free_q_vector
    stopped my system from panicing.
    
    I suspect to make the original patch work, I would need to load an XDP
    program and then replace it in order to get ixgbe_xdp_locking_key back
    above 0 since ixgbe_setup_tc is only called when transitioning between
    XDP and non-XDP ring configurations, while ixgbe_xdp_locking_key is
    incremented every time ixgbe_xdp_setup is called.
    
    Also, ixgbe_setup_tc can be called via ethtool --set-channels, so this
    becomes another path to decrement ixgbe_xdp_locking_key to 0 on systems
    with more than 64 CPUs.
    
    Since ixgbe_xdp_locking_key only protects the XDP_TX path and is tied
    to the number of CPUs present, there is no reason to disable it upon
    unloading an XDP program.  To avoid confusion, I have moved enabling
    ixgbe_xdp_locking_key into ixgbe_sw_init, which is part of the probe path.
