Greetings,
I've been experiencing problems with HTB where the whole machine locks
up. This usually happens when the whole qdisc is being removed and
occasionally when a leaf is being removed.
Common is that it always happens when some sort of removal is in
progress.
Console output I have captured is at the end of this message. The same
behavior exists from vanilla 2.6.19.7 and above. It is possible that the
problem also exist in the earlier versions however I did not go further
back.
I also believe I have found where the actual problem is:
qdisc_destroy() function is always called with dev->queue_lock locked.
htb_destroy() function up the stack is using del_timer_sync() call to
deactivate HTB qdisc timers.
From the comments in the source where del_timer_sync() is defined:
---copy/paste---
/**
* del_timer_sync - deactivate a timer and wait for the handler to finish.
* @timer: the timer to be deactivated
*
* This function only differs from del_timer() on SMP: besides deactivating
* the timer it also makes sure the handler has finished executing on other
* CPUs.
*
* Synchronization rules: Callers must prevent restarting of the timer,
* otherwise this function is meaningless. It must not be called from
* interrupt contexts. The caller must not hold locks which would prevent
* completion of the timer's handler. The timer's handler must not call
* add_timer_on(). Upon exit the timer is not queued and the handler is
* not running on any CPU.
*
* The function returns whether it has deactivated a pending timer or not.
*/
---copy/paste---
Now, htb_rate_timer() does exactly what appears to be the source of the
problem - it tries obtain dev->queue_lock - and given the right moment
(timer fired handler while qdisc_destroy was holding the lock) - system
locks up - del_timer_sync is waiting for handler to finish while the
handler is waiting for the dev->queue_lock.
Of course I could also be completely wrong here and missing something
not so obvious.
I could also attempt to fix this but I haven't dealt with this code in
the past so I was hoping someone with better insight might just have an
elegant solution up his sleeve.
Best regards,
Ranko
