net: sched: fix tx action rescheduling issue during deactivation
Currently qdisc_run() checks the STATE_DEACTIVATED of lockless qdisc before calling __qdisc_run(), which ultimately clear the STATE_MISSED when all the skb is dequeued. If STATE_DEACTIVATED is set before clearing STATE_MISSED, there may be rescheduling of net_tx_action() at the end of qdisc_run_end(), see below: CPU0(net_tx_atcion) CPU1(__dev_xmit_skb) CPU2(dev_deactivate) . . . . set STATE_MISSED . . __netif_schedule() . . . set STATE_DEACTIVATED . . qdisc_reset() . . . .<--------------- . synchronize_net() clear __QDISC_STATE_SCHED | . . . | . . . | . some_qdisc_is_busy() . | . return *false* . | . . test STATE_DEACTIVATED | . . __qdisc_run() *not* called | . . . | . . test STATE_MISS | . . __netif_schedule()--------| . . . . . . . . __qdisc_run() is not called by net_tx_atcion() in CPU0 because CPU2 has set STATE_DEACTIVATED flag during dev_deactivate(), and STATE_MISSED is only cleared in __qdisc_run(), __netif_schedule is called at the end of qdisc_run_end(), causing tx action rescheduling problem. qdisc_run() called by net_tx_action() runs in the softirq context, which should has the same semantic as the qdisc_run() called by __dev_xmit_skb() protected by rcu_read_lock_bh(). And there is a synchronize_net() between STATE_DEACTIVATED flag being set and qdisc_reset()/some_qdisc_is_busy in dev_deactivate(), we can safely bail out for the deactived lockless qdisc in net_tx_action(), and qdisc_reset() will reset all skb not dequeued yet. So add the rcu_read_lock() explicitly to protect the qdisc_run() and do the STATE_DEACTIVATED checking in net_tx_action() before calling qdisc_run_begin(). Another option is to do the checking in the qdisc_run_end(), but it will add unnecessary overhead for non-tx_action case, because __dev_queue_xmit() will not see qdisc with STATE_DEACTIVATED after synchronize_net(), the qdisc with STATE_DEACTIVATED can only be seen by net_tx_action() because of __netif_schedule(). The STATE_DEACTIVATED checking in qdisc_run() is to avoid race between net_tx_action() and qdisc_reset(), see: commit d518d2ed ("net/sched: fix race between deactivation and dequeue for NOLOCK qdisc"). As the bailout added above for deactived lockless qdisc in net_tx_action() provides better protection for the race without calling qdisc_run() at all, so remove the STATE_DEACTIVATED checking in qdisc_run(). After qdisc_reset(), there is no skb in qdisc to be dequeued, so clear the STATE_MISSED in dev_reset_queue() too.
