When skb is sent, it will pass the following functions in soft roce. rxe_send [rdma_rxe] ip_local_out __ip_local_out ip_output ip_finish_output ip_finish_output2 dev_queue_xmit __dev_queue_xmit dev_hard_start_xmit In the above functions, if error occurs in the above functions or iptables rules drop skb after ip_local_out, kfree_skb will be called. So it is not necessary to call kfree_skb in soft roce module again. Or else crash will occur. The steps to reproduce: server client --------- --------- |1.1.1.1|<----rxe-channel--->|1.1.1.2| --------- --------- On server: rping -s -a 1.1.1.1 -v -C 10000 -S 512 On client: rping -c -a 1.1.1.1 -v -C 10000 -S 512 The kernel configs CONFIG_DEBUG_KMEMLEAK and CONFIG_DEBUG_OBJECTS are enabled on both server and client. When rping runs, run the following command in server: iptables -I OUTPUT -p udp --dport 4791 -j DROP Without this patch, crash will occur.

So in soft roce, it is not necessary to call kfree_skb again. --- drivers/infiniband/sw/rxe/rxe_req.c | 1 - drivers/infiniband/sw/rxe/rxe_resp.c | 6 +----- 2 files changed, 1 insertion(+), 6 deletions(-) diff --git a/drivers/infiniband/sw/rxe/rxe_req.c b/drivers/infiniband/sw/rxe/rxe_req.c index 7bdaf71..7851999 100644 --- a/drivers/infiniband/sw/rxe/rxe_req.c +++ b/drivers/infiniband/sw/rxe/rxe_req.c @@ -728,7 +728,6 @@ int rxe_requester(void *arg) rollback_state(wqe, qp, &rollback_wqe, rollback_psn); if (ret == -EAGAIN) { - kfree_skb(skb); rxe_run_task(&qp->req.task, 1); goto exit; } diff --git a/drivers/infiniband/sw/rxe/rxe_resp.c b/drivers/infiniband/sw/rxe/rxe_resp.c index a65c996..955ff3b 100644 --- a/drivers/infiniband/sw/rxe/rxe_resp.c +++ b/drivers/infiniband/sw/rxe/rxe_resp.c @@ -742,7 +742,6 @@ static enum resp_states read_reply(struct rxe_qp *qp, err = rxe_xmit_packet(rxe, qp, &ack_pkt, skb); if (err) { pr_err("Failed sending RDMA reply.\n"); - kfree_skb(skb); return RESPST_ERR_RNR; } @@ -954,10 +953,8 @@ static int send_ack(struct rxe_qp *qp, struct rxe_pkt_info *pkt, } err = rxe_xmit_packet(rxe, qp, &ack_pkt, skb); - if (err) { + if (err) pr_err_ratelimited("Failed sending ack\n"); - kfree_skb(skb); - } err1: return err; @@ -1141,7 +1138,6 @@ static enum resp_states duplicate_request(struct rxe_qp *qp, if (rc) { pr_err("Failed resending result.
