From: Valentin Schneider Date: Tue, 4 Jun 2024 16:08:47 +0200 Subject: [PATCH 1/3] net: tcp/dccp: prepare for tw_timer un-pinning Origin: https://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/projects/rt/6.10/older/patches-6.10.2-rt14.tar.xz The TCP timewait timer is proving to be problematic for setups where scheduler CPU isolation is achieved at runtime via cpusets (as opposed to statically via isolcpus=domains). What happens there is a CPU goes through tcp_time_wait(), arming the time_wait timer, then gets isolated. TCP_TIMEWAIT_LEN later, the timer fires, causing interference for the now-isolated CPU. This is conceptually similar to the issue described in commit e02b93124855 ("workqueue: Unbind kworkers before sending them to exit()") Move inet_twsk_schedule() to within inet_twsk_hashdance(), with the ehash lock held. Expand the lock's critical section from inet_twsk_kill() to inet_twsk_deschedule_put(), serializing the scheduling vs descheduling of the timer. IOW, this prevents the following race: tcp_time_wait() inet_twsk_hashdance() inet_twsk_deschedule_put() del_timer_sync() inet_twsk_schedule() Thanks to Paolo Abeni for suggesting to leverage the ehash lock. This also restores a comment from commit ec94c2696f0b ("tcp/dccp: avoid one atomic operation for timewait hashdance") as inet_twsk_hashdance() had a "Step 1" and "Step 3" comment, but the "Step 2" had gone missing. inet_twsk_deschedule_put() now acquires the ehash spinlock to synchronize with inet_twsk_hashdance_schedule(). To ease possible regression search, actual un-pin is done in next patch.
