Hello! I have been looking into some random crashes that appear to stem from the stmmac_napi_poll_rx() function. There are two different panics I have observed which are ...

For instance if I set the CPU speed to the min of 115.2MHz it occurs more often but not 100%. Please note that although the above panics logs are from 5.10, it is also seen with the current mainline. The bug being triggered in skbuff.h is the following ... void *skb_pull(struct sk_buff *skb, unsigned int len); static inline void *__skb_pull(struct sk_buff *skb, unsigned int len) { skb->len -= len; BUG_ON(skb->len < skb->data_len); return skb->data += len; } Looking into the above panic triggered in skbuff.h, when this occurs I have noticed that the value of skb->data_len is unusually large ... __skb_pull: len 1500 (14), data_len 4294967274 I then added some traces to stmmac_napi_poll_rx() and stmmac_rx_buf2_len() to trace the values of various various variables and when the problem occurs I see ... stmmac_napi_poll_rx: stmmac_rx: count 0, len 1518, buf1 66, buf2 1452 stmmac_napi_poll_rx: stmmac_rx_buf2_len: len 66, plen 1518 stmmac_napi_poll_rx: stmmac_rx: count 1, len 1518, buf1 66, buf2 1452 stmmac_napi_poll_rx: stmmac_rx_buf2_len: len 66, plen 1536 stmmac_napi_poll_rx: stmmac_rx: count 2, len 1602, buf1 66, buf2 1536 stmmac_napi_poll_rx: stmmac_rx_buf2_len: len 1602, plen 1518 stmmac_napi_poll_rx: stmmac_rx: count 2, len 1518, buf1 0, buf2 4294967212 stmmac_napi_poll_rx: stmmac_rx: dma_buf_sz 1536, buf1 0, buf2 4294967212 The above shows that occasionally the value of 'len' passed to stmmac_rx_buf2_len() is greater than the value returned by stmmac_get_rx_frame_len() and stored in 'plen', which then causes stmmac_rx_buf2_len() to return a negative value but is then treated as an unsigned value. So it is clear to me that there is overflow happening occasionally, but I am not sure how to fix it. I tried the following but this appears to be causing other issues ... diff --git a/drivers/net/ethernet/stmicro/stmmac/stmmac_main.c b/drivers/net/ethernet/stmicro/stmmac/stmmac_main.c index 4749bd0af160..26336de80fe8 100644 --- a/drivers/net/ethernet/stmicro/stmmac/stmmac_main.c +++ b/drivers/net/ethernet/stmicro/stmmac/stmmac_main.c @@ -3728,7 +3728,7 @@ static unsigned int stmmac_rx_buf2_len(struct stmmac_priv *priv, /* Not last descriptor */ if (status & rx_not_ls) - return priv->dma_buf_sz; + return priv->dma_buf_sz - len; plen = stmmac_get_rx_frame_len(priv, p, coe); @@ -3848,7 +3848,7 @@ static int stmmac_rx(struct stmmac_priv *priv, int limit, u32 queue) buf1_len = stmmac_rx_buf1_len(priv, p, status, len); len += buf1_len; - buf2_len = stmmac_rx_buf2_len(priv, p, status, len); + buf2_len = stmmac_rx_buf2_len(priv, p, status, buf1_len); len += buf2_len; The patch I added to trace the various variable is as follows ... diff --git a/drivers/net/ethernet/stmicro/stmmac/stmmac_main.c b/drivers/net/ethernet/stmicro/stmmac/stmmac_main.c index 4749bd0af160..975059bb3165 100644 --- a/drivers/net/ethernet/stmicro/stmmac/stmmac_main.c +++ b/drivers/net/ethernet/stmicro/stmmac/stmmac_main.c @@ -3723,15 +3723,20 @@ static unsigned int stmmac_rx_buf2_len(struct stmmac_priv *priv, unsigned int plen = 0; /* Not split header, buffer is not available */ - if (!priv->sph) + if (!priv->sph) { + trace_printk("%s: len %u, plen %u\n", __func__, len, priv->dma_buf_sz); return 0; + } /* Not last descriptor */ - if (status & rx_not_ls) + if (status & rx_not_ls) { + trace_printk("%s: len %u, plen %u\n", __func__, len, priv->dma_buf_sz); return priv->dma_buf_sz; + } plen = stmmac_get_rx_frame_len(priv, p, coe); + trace_printk("%s: len %u, plen %u\n", __func__, len, plen); /* Last descriptor */ return plen - len; } @@ -3850,7 +3855,13 @@ static int stmmac_rx(struct stmmac_priv *priv, int limit, u32 queue) len += buf1_len; buf2_len = stmmac_rx_buf2_len(priv, p, status, len); len += buf2_len; - + trace_printk("%s: count %u, len %u, buf1 %u, buf2 %u\n", __func__, + count, len, buf1_len, buf2_len); + if (buf1_len > priv->dma_buf_sz || buf2_len > priv->dma_buf_sz) { + trace_printk("%s: dma_buf_sz %u, buf1 %u, buf2 %u\n", + __func__, priv->dma_buf_sz, buf1_len, buf2_len); + BUG_ON(1); + } /* ACS is set; GMAC core strips PAD/FCS for IEEE 802.3 * Type frames (LLC/LLC-SNAP) * Note I added the above BUG_ON to trap unusually large buffers.
