Dear John,
Thank you for your patch.
I’d recommend, to use a statement in the git commit message/summary by
adding a verb (in imperative mood). Maybe:
Fix panic during XDP_TX with > 64 CPUs

I think it’s more common to write it like:

Even shorter

with more than 64 CPUs by locking the XDP TX rings and indexing them

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 greater than 64 CPUs.
… with more than 64 CPUs.
For this patch, I have changed static_branch_inc to static_branch_enable
in ixgbe_setup_xdp. We weren't counting references. The
ixgbe_xdp_locking_key only protects code in the XDP_TX path, which is
not run when an XDP program is loaded. The other condition for setting
it on is the number of CPUs, which I assume is static.

v1 -> v2:
Added Fixes and net tag. No code changes.
v2 -> v3:
Added splat. Slight clarification as to why ixgbe_xdp_locking_key
is not turned off. Based on feedback from Maciej Fijalkowski.
