If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. >From foo@baz Fri Sep 11 09:55:51 AM CEST 2020 From: Xin Long <lucien.xin@xxxxxxxxx> Date: Fri, 21 Aug 2020 14:59:38 +0800 Subject: sctp: not disable bh in the whole sctp_get_port_local() From: Xin Long <lucien.xin@xxxxxxxxx> [ Upstream commit 3106ecb43a05dc3e009779764b9da245a5d082de ] With disabling bh in the whole sctp_get_port_local(), when snum == 0 and too many ports have been used, the do-while loop will take the cpu for a long time and cause cpu stuck: [ ] watchdog: BUG: soft lockup - CPU#11 stuck for 22s! [ ] RIP: 0010:native_queued_spin_lock_slowpath+0x4de/0x940 [ ] Call Trace: [ ] _raw_spin_lock+0xc1/0xd0 [ ] sctp_get_port_local+0x527/0x650 [sctp] [ ] sctp_do_bind+0x208/0x5e0 [sctp] [ ] sctp_autobind+0x165/0x1e0 [sctp] [ ] sctp_connect_new_asoc+0x355/0x480 [sctp] [ ] __sctp_connect+0x360/0xb10 [sctp] There's no need to disable bh in the whole function of sctp_get_port_local. So fix this cpu stuck by removing local_bh_disable() called at the beginning, and using spin_lock_bh() instead. The same thing was actually done for inet_csk_get_port() in Commit ea8add2b1903 ("tcp/dccp: better use of ephemeral ports in bind()"). Thanks to Marcelo for pointing the buggy code out. v1->v2: - use cond_resched() to yield cpu to other tasks if needed, as Eric noticed.
