From 1b6ae69b32f9ee2670d53e597e40d1e652f61865 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Eric Dumazet Date: Fri, 1 Dec 2017 10:06:56 -0800 Subject: [PATCH] tcp/dccp: block bh before arming time_wait timer MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=utf8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Maciej Żenczykowski reported some panics in tcp_twsk_destructor() that might be caused by the following bug. timewait timer is pinned to the cpu, because we want to transition timwewait refcount from 0 to 4 in one go, once everything has been initialized. At the time commit ae418b4f601b ("tcp/dccp: fix timewait races in timer handling") was merged, TCP was always running from BH habdler. After commit 54a874cf32f4 ("net: do not block BH while processing socket backlog") we definitely can run tcp_time_wait() from process context. We need to block BH in the critical section so that the pinned timer has still its purpose. This bug is more likely to happen under stress and when very small RTO are used in datacenter flows.
