Subject: net: mvneta: use per_cpu stats to fix an SMP lock up
From: willy tarreau <w@xxxxxx>
commit 74c41b048db1073a04827d7f39e95ac1935524cc upstream.
Stats writers are mvneta_rx() and mvneta_tx(). They don't lock anything
when they update the stats, and as a result, it randomly happens that
the stats freeze on SMP if two updates happen during stats retrieval.
This is very easily reproducible by starting two HTTP servers and binding
each of them to a different CPU, then consulting /proc/net/dev in loops
during transfers, the interface should immediately lock up. This issue
also randomly happens upon link state changes during transfers, because
the stats are collected in this situation, but it takes more attempts to
reproduce it.
The comments in netdevice.h suggest using per_cpu stats instead to get
rid of this issue.
This patch implements this. It merges both rx_stats and tx_stats into
a single "stats" member with a single syncp. Both mvneta_rx() and
mvneta_rx() now only update the a single CPU's counters.
In turn, mvneta_get_stats64() does the summing by iterating over all CPUs
to get their respective stats.
With this change, stats are still correct and no more lockup is encountered.
Note that this bug was present since the first import of the mvneta
driver. It might make sense to backport it to some stable trees. If
so, it depends on "d33dc73 net: mvneta: increase the 64-bit rx/tx stats
out of the hot path".
