4.9-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: "Michael S. Tsirkin" <mst@xxxxxxxxxx> [ Upstream commit e71695307114335be1ed912f4a347396c2ed0e69 ] Resizing currently drops consumer lock. This can cause entries to be reordered, which isn't good in itself. More importantly, consumer can detect a false ring empty condition and block forever. Further, nesting of consumer within producer lock is problematic for tun, since it produces entries in a BH, which causes a lock order reversal: CPU0 CPU1 ---- ---- consume: lock(&(&r->consumer_lock)->rlock); resize: local_irq_disable(); lock(&(&r->producer_lock)->rlock); lock(&(&r->consumer_lock)->rlock); <Interrupt> produce: lock(&(&r->producer_lock)->rlock); To fix, nest producer lock within consumer lock during resize, and keep consumer lock during the whole swap operation.
