From dc0988bbe1bd41e2fa555e4a6f890b819a34b49b Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Yonghong Song Date: Wed, 2 Sep 2020 16:53:40 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] bpf: Do not use bucket_lock for hashmap iterator Currently, for hashmap, the bpf iterator will grab a bucket lock, a spinlock, before traversing the elements in the bucket. This can ensure all bpf visted elements are valid. But this mechanism may cause deadlock if update/deletion happens to the same bucket of the visited map in the program. For example, if we added bpf_map_update_elem() call to the same visited element in selftests bpf_iter_bpf_hash_map.c, we will have the following deadlock: ============================================ WARNING: possible recursive locking detected 5.9.0-rc1+ #841 Not tainted -------------------------------------------- test_progs/1750 is trying to acquire lock: ffff9a5bb73c5e70 (&htab->buckets[i].raw_lock){....}-{2:2}, at: htab_map_update_elem+0x1cf/0x410 but task is already holding lock: ffff9a5bb73c5e20 (&htab->buckets[i].raw_lock){....}-{2:2}, at: bpf_hash_map_seq_find_next+0x94/0x120 other info that might help us debug this: Possible unsafe locking scenario: CPU0 ---- lock(&htab->buckets[i].raw_lock); lock(&htab->buckets[i].raw_lock); *** DEADLOCK *** ...

The bucket_lock first grabbed in seq_ops->next() called by bpf_seq_read(), and then grabbed again in htab_map_update_elem() in the bpf program, causing deadlocks. Actually, we do not need bucket_lock here, we can just use rcu_read_lock() similar to netlink iterator where the rcu_read_{lock,unlock} likes below: seq_ops->start(): rcu_read_lock(); seq_ops->next(): rcu_read_unlock(); /* next element */ rcu_read_lock(); seq_ops->stop(); rcu_read_unlock(); Compared to old bucket_lock mechanism, if concurrent updata/delete happens, we may visit stale elements, miss some elements, or repeat some elements. I think this is a reasonable compromise. For users wanting to avoid stale, missing/repeated accesses, bpf_map batch access syscall interface can be used.
