+This document provides information for the BPF subsystem about various
+workflows related to reporting bugs, submitting patches, and queueing
+patches for stable kernels.
+
+For general information about submitting patches, please refer to
+Documentation/process/. This document only describes additional specifics
+related to BPF.
+
+Reporting bugs:
+---------------
+
+Q: How do I report bugs for BPF kernel code?
+
+A: Since all BPF kernel development as well as bpftool and iproute2 BPF
+ loader development happens through the netdev kernel mailing list,
+ please report any found issues around BPF to the following mailing
+ list:
+
+ netdev@vger.kernel.org
+
+ This may also include issues related to XDP, BPF tracing, etc.
+
+ Given netdev has a high volume of traffic, please also add the BPF
+ maintainers to Cc (from kernel MAINTAINERS file):
+
+ Alexei Starovoitov <ast@kernel.org>
+ Daniel Borkmann <daniel@iogearbox.net>
+
+ In case a buggy commit has already been identified, make sure to keep
+ the actual commit authors in Cc as well for the report. They can
+ typically be identified through the kernel's git tree.
+
+ Please do *not* report BPF issues to bugzilla.kernel.org since it
+ is a guarantee that the reported issue will be overlooked.
+
+Submitting patches:
+-------------------
+
+Q: To which mailing list do I need to submit my BPF patches?
+
+A: Please submit your BPF patches to the netdev kernel mailing list:
+
+ netdev@vger.kernel.org
+
+ Historically, BPF came out of networking and has always been maintained
+ by the kernel networking community. Although these days BPF touches
+ many other subsystems as well, the patches are still routed mainly
+ through the networking community.
+
+ In case your patch has changes in various different subsystems (e.g.
+ tracing, security, etc), make sure to Cc the related kernel mailing
+ lists and maintainers from there as well, so they are able to review
+ the changes and provide their Acked-by's to the patches.
+
+Q: Where can I find patches currently under discussion for BPF subsystem?
+
+A: All patches that are Cc'ed to netdev are queued for review under netdev
+ patchwork project:
+
+ http://patchwork.ozlabs.org/project/netdev/list/
+
+ Those patches which target BPF, are assigned to a 'bpf' delegate for
+ further processing from BPF maintainers. The current queue with
+ patches under review can be found at:
+
+ https://patchwork.ozlabs.org/project/netdev/list/?delegate=77147
+
+ Once the patches have been reviewed by the BPF community as a whole
+ and approved by the BPF maintainers, their status in patchwork will be
+ changed to 'Accepted' and the submitter will be notified by mail. This
+ means that the patches look good from a BPF perspective and have been
+ applied to one of the two BPF kernel trees.
+
+ In case feedback from the community requires a respin of the patches,
+ their status in patchwork will be set to 'Changes Requested', and purged
+ from the current review queue. Likewise for cases where patches would
+ get rejected or are not applicable to the BPF trees (but assigned to
+ the 'bpf' delegate).
+
+Q: How do the changes make their way into Linux?
+
+A: There are two BPF kernel trees (git repositories). Once patches have
+ been accepted by the BPF maintainers, they will be applied to one
+ of the two BPF trees:
+
+ https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/bpf/bpf.git/
+ https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/bpf/bpf-next.git/
+
+ The bpf tree itself is for fixes only, whereas bpf-next for features,
+ cleanups or other kind of improvements ("next-like" content). This is
+ analogous to net and net-next trees for networking. Both bpf and
+ bpf-next will only have a master branch in order to simplify against
+ which branch patches should get rebased to.
+
+ Accumulated BPF patches in the bpf tree will regularly get pulled
+ into the net kernel tree. Likewise, accumulated BPF patches accepted
+ into the bpf-next tree will make their way into net-next tree. net and
+ net-next are both run by David S. Miller. From there, they will go
+ into the kernel mainline tree run by Linus Torvalds. To read up on the
+ process of net and net-next being merged into the mainline tree, see
+ the netdev FAQ under:
+
+ Documentation/networking/netdev-FAQ.txt
+
+ Occasionally, to prevent merge conflicts, we might send pull requests
+ to other trees (e.g. tracing) with a small subset of the patches, but
+ net and net-next are always the main trees targeted for integration.
+
+ The pull requests will contain a high-level summary of the accumulated
+ patches and can be searched on netdev kernel mailing list through the
+ following subject lines (yyyy-mm-dd is the date of the pull request):
+
+ pull-request: bpf yyyy-mm-dd
+ pull-request: bpf-next yyyy-mm-dd
+
+Q: How do I indicate which tree (bpf vs. bpf-next) my patch should be
+ applied to?
+
+A: The process is the very same as described in the netdev FAQ, so
+ please read up on it. The subject line must indicate whether the
+ patch is a fix or rather "next-like" content in order to let the
+ maintainers know whether it is targeted at bpf or bpf-next.
+
+ For fixes eventually landing in bpf -> net tree, the subject must
+ look like:
+
+ git format-patch --subject-prefix='PATCH bpf' start..finish
+
+ For features/improvements/etc that should eventually land in
+ bpf-next -> net-next, the subject must look like:
+
+ git format-patch --subject-prefix='PATCH bpf-next' start..finish
+
+ If unsure whether the patch or patch series should go into bpf
+ or net directly, or bpf-next or net-next directly, it is not a
+ problem either if the subject line says net or net-next as target.
+ It is eventually up to the maintainers to do the delegation of
+ the patches.
+
+ If it is clear that patches should go into bpf or bpf-next tree,
+ please make sure to rebase the patches against those trees in
+ order to reduce potential conflicts.
+
+ In case the patch or patch series has to be reworked and sent out
+ again in a second or later revision, it is also required to add a
+ version number (v2, v3, ...) into the subject prefix:
+
+ git format-patch --subject-prefix='PATCH net-next v2' start..finish
+
+ When changes have been requested to the patch series, always send the
+ whole patch series again with the feedback incorporated (never send
+ individual diffs on top of the old series).
+
+Q: What does it mean when a patch gets applied to bpf or bpf-next tree?
+
+A: It means that the patch looks good for mainline inclusion from
+ a BPF point of view.
+
+ Be aware that this is not a final verdict that the patch will
+ automatically get accepted into net or net-next trees eventually:
+
+ On the netdev kernel mailing list reviews can come in at any point
+ in time. If discussions around a patch conclude that they cannot
+ get included as-is, we will either apply a follow-up fix or drop
+ them from the trees entirely. Therefore, we also reserve to rebase
+ the trees when deemed necessary. After all, the purpose of the tree
+ is to i) accumulate and stage BPF patches for integration into trees
+ like net and net-next, and ii) run extensive BPF test suite and
+ workloads on the patches before they make their way any further.
+
+ Once the BPF pull request was accepted by David S. Miller, then
+ the patches end up in net or net-next tree, respectively, and
+ make their way from there further into mainline. Again, see the
+ netdev FAQ for additional information e.g. on how often they are
+ merged to mainline.
+
+Q: How long do I need to wait for feedback on my BPF patches?
+
+A: We try to keep the latency low. The usual time to feedback will
+ be around 2 or 3 business days. It may vary depending on the
+ complexity of changes and current patch load.
+
+Q: How often do you send pull requests to major kernel trees like
+ net or net-next?
+
+A: Pull requests will be sent out rather often in order to not
+ accumulate too many patches in bpf or bpf-next.
+
+ As a rule of thumb, expect pull requests for each tree regularly
+ at the end of the week. In some cases pull requests could additionally
+ come also in the middle of the week depending on the current patch
+ load or urgency.
+
+Q: Are patches applied to bpf-next when the merge window is open?
+
+A: For the time when the merge window is open, bpf-next will not be
+ processed. This is roughly analogous to net-next patch processing,
+ so feel free to read up on the netdev FAQ about further details.
+
+ During those two weeks of merge window, we might ask you to resend
+ your patch series once bpf-next is open again. Once Linus released
+ a v*-rc1 after the merge window, we continue processing of bpf-next.
+
+ For non-subscribers to kernel mailing lists, there is also a status
+ page run by David S. Miller on net-next that provides guidance:
+
+ http://vger.kernel.org/~davem/net-next.html
+
+Q: I made a BPF verifier change, do I need to add test cases for
+ BPF kernel selftests?
+
+A: If the patch has changes to the behavior of the verifier, then yes,
+ it is absolutely necessary to add test cases to the BPF kernel
+ selftests suite. If they are not present and we think they are
+ needed, then we might ask for them before accepting any changes.
+
+ In particular, test_verifier.c is tracking a high number of BPF test
+ cases, including a lot of corner cases that LLVM BPF back end may
+ generate out of the restricted C code. Thus, adding test cases is
+ absolutely crucial to make sure future changes do not accidentally
+ affect prior use-cases. Thus, treat those test cases as: verifier
+ behavior that is not tracked in test_verifier.c could potentially
+ be subject to change.
+
+Q: When should I add code to samples/bpf/ and when to BPF kernel
+ selftests?
+
+A: In general, we prefer additions to BPF kernel selftests rather than
+ samples/bpf/. The rationale is very simple: kernel selftests are
+ regularly run by various bots to test for kernel regressions.
+
+ The more test cases we add to BPF selftests, the better the coverage
+ and the less likely it is that those could accidentally break. It is
+ not that BPF kernel selftests cannot demo how a specific feature can
+ be used.
+
+ That said, samples/bpf/ may be a good place for people to get started,
+ so it might be advisable that simple demos of features could go into
+ samples/bpf/, but advanced functional and corner-case testing rather
+ into kernel selftests.
+
+ If your sample looks like a test case, then go for BPF kernel selftests
+ instead!
+
+Q: When should I add code to the bpftool?
+
+A: The main purpose of bpftool (under tools/bpf/bpftool/) is to provide
+ a central user space tool for debugging and introspection of BPF programs
+ and maps that are active in the kernel. If UAPI changes related to BPF
+ enable for dumping additional information of programs or maps, then
+ bpftool should be extended as well to support dumping them.
+
+Q: When should I add code to iproute2's BPF loader?
+
+A: For UAPI changes related to the XDP or tc layer (e.g. cls_bpf), the
+ convention is that those control-path related changes are added to
+ iproute2's BPF loader as well from user space side. This is not only
+ useful to have UAPI changes properly designed to be usable, but also
+ to make those changes available to a wider user base of major
+ downstream distributions.
+
+Q: Do you accept patches as well for iproute2's BPF loader?
+
+A: Patches for the iproute2's BPF loader have to be sent to:
+
+ netdev@vger.kernel.org
+
+ While those patches are not processed by the BPF kernel maintainers,
+ please keep them in Cc as well, so they can be reviewed.
+
+ The official git repository for iproute2 is run by Stephen Hemminger
+ and can be found at:
+
+ https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/shemminger/iproute2.git/
+
+ The patches need to have a subject prefix of '[PATCH iproute2 master]'
+ or '[PATCH iproute2 net-next]'. 'master' or 'net-next' describes the
+ target branch where the patch should be applied to. Meaning, if kernel
+ changes went into the net-next kernel tree, then the related iproute2
+ changes need to go into the iproute2 net-next branch, otherwise they
+ can be targeted at master branch. The iproute2 net-next branch will get
+ merged into the master branch after the current iproute2 version from
+ master has been released.
+
+ Like BPF, the patches end up in patchwork under the netdev project and
+ are delegated to 'shemminger' for further processing:
+
+ http://patchwork.ozlabs.org/project/netdev/list/?delegate=389
+
+Q: What is the minimum requirement before I submit my BPF patches?
+
+A: When submitting patches, always take the time and properly test your
+ patches *prior* to submission. Never rush them! If maintainers find
+ that your patches have not been properly tested, it is a good way to
+ get them grumpy. Testing patch submissions is a hard requirement!
+
+ Note, fixes that go to bpf tree *must* have a Fixes: tag included. The
+ same applies to fixes that target bpf-next, where the affected commit
+ is in net-next (or in some cases bpf-next). The Fixes: tag is crucial
+ in order to identify follow-up commits and tremendously helps for people
+ having to do backporting, so it is a must have!
+
+ We also don't accept patches with an empty commit message. Take your
+ time and properly write up a high quality commit message, it is
+ essential!
+
+ Think about it this way: other developers looking at your code a month
+ from now need to understand *why* a certain change has been done that
+ way, and whether there have been flaws in the analysis or assumptions
+ that the original author did. Thus providing a proper rationale and
+ describing the use-case for the changes is a must.
+
+ Patch submissions with >1 patch must have a cover letter which includes
+ a high level description of the series. This high level summary will
+ then be placed into the merge commit by the BPF maintainers such that
+ it is also accessible from the git log for future reference.
+
+Q: What do I need to consider when adding a new instruction or feature
+ that would require BPF JIT and/or LLVM integration as well?
+
+A: We try hard to keep all BPF JITs up to date such that the same user
+ experience can be guaranteed when running BPF programs on different
+ architectures without having the program punt to the less efficient
+ interpreter in case the in-kernel BPF JIT is enabled.
+
+ If you are unable to implement or test the required JIT changes for
+ certain architectures, please work together with the related BPF JIT
+ developers in order to get the feature implemented in a timely manner.
+ Please refer to the git log (arch/*/net/) to locate the necessary
+ people for helping out.
+
+ Also always make sure to add BPF test cases (e.g. test_bpf.c and
+ test_verifier.c) for new instructions, so that they can receive
+ broad test coverage and help run-time testing the various BPF JITs.
+
+ In case of new BPF instructions, once the changes have been accepted
+ into the Linux kernel, please implement support into LLVM's BPF back
+ end. See LLVM section below for further information.
+
+Stable submission:
+------------------
+
+Q: I need a specific BPF commit in stable kernels. What should I do?
+
+A: In case you need a specific fix in stable kernels, first check whether
+ the commit has already been applied in the related linux-*.y branches:
+
+ https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux-stable.git/
+
+ If not the case, then drop an email to the BPF maintainers with the
+ netdev kernel mailing list in Cc and ask for the fix to be queued up:
+
+ netdev@vger.kernel.org
+
+ The process in general is the same as on netdev itself, see also the
+ netdev FAQ document.
+
+Q: Do you also backport to kernels not currently maintained as stable?
+
+A: No. If you need a specific BPF commit in kernels that are currently not
+ maintained by the stable maintainers, then you are on your own.
+
+ The current stable and longterm stable kernels are all listed here:
+
+ https://www.kernel.org/
+
+Q: The BPF patch I am about to submit needs to go to stable as well. What
+ should I do?
+
+A: The same rules apply as with netdev patch submissions in general, see
+ netdev FAQ under:
+
+ Documentation/networking/netdev-FAQ.txt
+
+ Never add "Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org" to the patch description, but
+ ask the BPF maintainers to queue the patches instead. This can be done
+ with a note, for example, under the "---" part of the patch which does
+ not go into the git log. Alternatively, this can be done as a simple
+ request by mail instead.
+
+Q: Where do I find currently queued BPF patches that will be submitted
+ to stable?
+
+A: Once patches that fix critical bugs got applied into the bpf tree, they
+ are queued up for stable submission under:
+
+ http://patchwork.ozlabs.org/bundle/bpf/stable/?state=*
+
+ They will be on hold there at minimum until the related commit made its
+ way into the mainline kernel tree.
+
+ After having been under broader exposure, the queued patches will be
+ submitted by the BPF maintainers to the stable maintainers.
+
+Testing patches:
+----------------
+
+Q: Which BPF kernel selftests version should I run my kernel against?
+
+A: If you run a kernel xyz, then always run the BPF kernel selftests from
+ that kernel xyz as well. Do not expect that the BPF selftest from the
+ latest mainline tree will pass all the time.
+
+ In particular, test_bpf.c and test_verifier.c have a large number of
+ test cases and are constantly updated with new BPF test sequences, or
+ existing ones are adapted to verifier changes e.g. due to verifier
+ becoming smarter and being able to better track certain things.
+
+LLVM:
+-----
+
+Q: Where do I find LLVM with BPF support?
+
+A: The BPF back end for LLVM is upstream in LLVM since version 3.7.1.
+
+ All major distributions these days ship LLVM with BPF back end enabled,
+ so for the majority of use-cases it is not required to compile LLVM by
+ hand anymore, just install the distribution provided package.
+
+ LLVM's static compiler lists the supported targets through 'llc --version',
+ make sure BPF targets are listed. Example:
+
+ $ llc --version
+ LLVM (http://llvm.org/):
+ LLVM version 6.0.0svn
+ Optimized build.
+ Default target: x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu
+ Host CPU: skylake
+
+ Registered Targets:
+ bpf - BPF (host endian)
+ bpfeb - BPF (big endian)
+ bpfel - BPF (little endian)
+ x86 - 32-bit X86: Pentium-Pro and above
+ x86-64 - 64-bit X86: EM64T and AMD64
+
+ For developers in order to utilize the latest features added to LLVM's
+ BPF back end, it is advisable to run the latest LLVM releases. Support
+ for new BPF kernel features such as additions to the BPF instruction
+ set are often developed together.
+
+ All LLVM releases can be found at: http://releases.llvm.org/
+
+Q: Got it, so how do I build LLVM manually anyway?
+
+A: You need cmake and gcc-c++ as build requisites for LLVM. Once you have
+ that set up, proceed with building the latest LLVM and clang version
+ from the git repositories:
+
+ $ git clone http://llvm.org/git/llvm.git
+ $ cd llvm/tools
+ $ git clone --depth 1 http://llvm.org/git/clang.git
+ $ cd ..; mkdir build; cd build
+ $ cmake .. -DLLVM_TARGETS_TO_BUILD="BPF;X86" \
+ -DBUILD_SHARED_LIBS=OFF \
+ -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release \
+ -DLLVM_BUILD_RUNTIME=OFF
+ $ make -j $(getconf _NPROCESSORS_ONLN)
+
+ The built binaries can then be found in the build/bin/ directory, where
+ you can point the PATH variable to.
+
+Q: Should I notify BPF kernel maintainers about issues in LLVM's BPF code
+ generation back end or about LLVM generated code that the verifier
+ refuses to accept?
+
+A: Yes, please do! LLVM's BPF back end is a key piece of the whole BPF
+ infrastructure and it ties deeply into verification of programs from the
+ kernel side. Therefore, any issues on either side need to be investigated
+ and fixed whenever necessary.
+
+ Therefore, please make sure to bring them up at netdev kernel mailing
+ list and Cc BPF maintainers for LLVM and kernel bits:
+
+ Yonghong Song <yhs@fb.com>
+ Alexei Starovoitov <ast@kernel.org>
+ Daniel Borkmann <daniel@iogearbox.net>
+
+ LLVM also has an issue tracker where BPF related bugs can be found:
+
+ https://bugs.llvm.org/buglist.cgi?quicksearch=bpf
+
+ However, it is better to reach out through mailing lists with having
+ maintainers in Cc.
+
+Q: I have added a new BPF instruction to the kernel, how can I integrate
+ it into LLVM?
+
+A: LLVM has a -mcpu selector for the BPF back end in order to allow the
+ selection of BPF instruction set extensions. By default the 'generic'
+ processor target is used, which is the base instruction set (v1) of BPF.
+
+ LLVM has an option to select -mcpu=probe where it will probe the host
+ kernel for supported BPF instruction set extensions and selects the
+ optimal set automatically.
+
+ For cross-compilation, a specific version can be select manually as well.
+
+ $ llc -march bpf -mcpu=help
+ Available CPUs for this target:
+
+ generic - Select the generic processor.
+ probe - Select the probe processor.
+ v1 - Select the v1 processor.
+ v2 - Select the v2 processor.
+ [...]
+
+ Newly added BPF instructions to the Linux kernel need to follow the same
+ scheme, bump the instruction set version and implement probing for the
+ extensions such that -mcpu=probe users can benefit from the optimization
+ transparently when upgrading their kernels.
+
+ If you are unable to implement support for the newly added BPF instruction
+ please reach out to BPF developers for help.
+
+ By the way, the BPF kernel selftests run with -mcpu=probe for better
+ test coverage.
+
+Happy BPF hacking!

-==========
-Background
-==========
-
-What causes deadlock
---------------------
-
-A deadlock occurs when a context is waiting for an event to happen,
-which is impossible because another (or the) context who can trigger the
-event is also waiting for another (or the) event to happen, which is
-also impossible due to the same reason.
-
-For example:
-
- A context going to trigger event C is waiting for event A to happen.
- A context going to trigger event A is waiting for event B to happen.
- A context going to trigger event B is waiting for event C to happen.
-
-A deadlock occurs when these three wait operations run at the same time,
-because event C cannot be triggered if event A does not happen, which in
-turn cannot be triggered if event B does not happen, which in turn
-cannot be triggered if event C does not happen. After all, no event can
-be triggered since any of them never meets its condition to wake up.
-
-A dependency might exist between two waiters and a deadlock might happen
-due to an incorrect releationship between dependencies. Thus, we must
-define what a dependency is first. A dependency exists between them if:
-
- 1. There are two waiters waiting for each event at a given time.
- 2. The only way to wake up each waiter is to trigger its event.
- 3. Whether one can be woken up depends on whether the other can.
-
-Each wait in the example creates its dependency like:
-
- Event C depends on event A.
- Event A depends on event B.
- Event B depends on event C.
-
- NOTE: Precisely speaking, a dependency is one between whether a
- waiter for an event can be woken up and whether another waiter for
- another event can be woken up. However from now on, we will describe
- a dependency as if it's one between an event and another event for
- simplicity.
-
-And they form circular dependencies like:
-
- -> C -> A -> B -
- / \
- \ /
- ----------------
-
- where 'A -> B' means that event A depends on event B.
-
-Such circular dependencies lead to a deadlock since no waiter can meet
-its condition to wake up as described.
-
-CONCLUSION
-
-Circular dependencies cause a deadlock.
-
-
-How lockdep works
------------------
-
-Lockdep tries to detect a deadlock by checking dependencies created by
-lock operations, acquire and release. Waiting for a lock corresponds to
-waiting for an event, and releasing a lock corresponds to triggering an
-event in the previous section.
-
-In short, lockdep does:
-
- 1. Detect a new dependency.
- 2. Add the dependency into a global graph.
- 3. Check if that makes dependencies circular.
- 4. Report a deadlock or its possibility if so.
-
-For example, consider a graph built by lockdep that looks like:
-
- A -> B -
- \
- -> E
- /
- C -> D -
-
- where A, B,..., E are different lock classes.
-
-Lockdep will add a dependency into the graph on detection of a new
-dependency. For example, it will add a dependency 'E -> C' when a new
-dependency between lock E and lock C is detected. Then the graph will be:
-
- A -> B -
- \
- -> E -
- / \
- -> C -> D - \
- / /
- \ /
- ------------------
-
- where A, B,..., E are different lock classes.
-
-This graph contains a subgraph which demonstrates circular dependencies:
-
- -> E -
- / \
- -> C -> D - \
- / /
- \ /
- ------------------
-
- where C, D and E are different lock classes.
-
-This is the condition under which a deadlock might occur. Lockdep
-reports it on detection after adding a new dependency. This is the way
-how lockdep works.
-
-CONCLUSION
-
-Lockdep detects a deadlock or its possibility by checking if circular
-dependencies were created after adding each new dependency.
-
-
-==========
-Limitation
-==========
-
-Limit lockdep
--------------
-
-Limiting lockdep to work on only typical locks e.g. spin locks and
-mutexes, which are released within the acquire context, the
-implementation becomes simple but its capacity for detection becomes
-limited. Let's check pros and cons in next section.
-
-
-Pros from the limitation
-------------------------
-
-Given the limitation, when acquiring a lock, locks in a held_locks
-cannot be released if the context cannot acquire it so has to wait to
-acquire it, which means all waiters for the locks in the held_locks are
-stuck. It's an exact case to create dependencies between each lock in
-the held_locks and the lock to acquire.
-
-For example:
-
- CONTEXT X
- ---------
- acquire A
- acquire B /* Add a dependency 'A -> B' */
- release B
- release A
-
- where A and B are different lock classes.
-
-When acquiring lock A, the held_locks of CONTEXT X is empty thus no
-dependency is added. But when acquiring lock B, lockdep detects and adds
-a new dependency 'A -> B' between lock A in the held_locks and lock B.
-They can be simply added whenever acquiring each lock.
-
-And data required by lockdep exists in a local structure, held_locks
-embedded in task_struct. Forcing to access the data within the context,
-lockdep can avoid racy problems without explicit locks while handling
-the local data.
-
-Lastly, lockdep only needs to keep locks currently being held, to build
-a dependency graph. However, relaxing the limitation, it needs to keep
-even locks already released, because a decision whether they created
-dependencies might be long-deferred.
-
-To sum up, we can expect several advantages from the limitation:
-
- 1. Lockdep can easily identify a dependency when acquiring a lock.
- 2. Races are avoidable while accessing local locks in a held_locks.
- 3. Lockdep only needs to keep locks currently being held.
-
-CONCLUSION
-
-Given the limitation, the implementation becomes simple and efficient.
-
-
-Cons from the limitation
-------------------------
-
-Given the limitation, lockdep is applicable only to typical locks. For
-example, page locks for page access or completions for synchronization
-cannot work with lockdep.
-
-Can we detect deadlocks below, under the limitation?
-
-Example 1:
-
- CONTEXT X CONTEXT Y CONTEXT Z
- --------- --------- ----------
- mutex_lock A
- lock_page B
- lock_page B
- mutex_lock A /* DEADLOCK */
- unlock_page B held by X
- unlock_page B
- mutex_unlock A
- mutex_unlock A
-
- where A and B are different lock classes.
-
-No, we cannot.
-
-Example 2:
-
- CONTEXT X CONTEXT Y
- --------- ---------
- mutex_lock A
- mutex_lock A
- wait_for_complete B /* DEADLOCK */
- complete B
- mutex_unlock A
- mutex_unlock A
-
- where A is a lock class and B is a completion variable.
-
-No, we cannot.
-
-CONCLUSION
-
-Given the limitation, lockdep cannot detect a deadlock or its
-possibility caused by page locks or completions.
-
-
-Relax the limitation
---------------------
-
-Under the limitation, things to create dependencies are limited to
-typical locks. However, synchronization primitives like page locks and
-completions, which are allowed to be released in any context, also
-create dependencies and can cause a deadlock. So lockdep should track
-these locks to do a better job. We have to relax the limitation for
-these locks to work with lockdep.
-
-Detecting dependencies is very important for lockdep to work because
-adding a dependency means adding an opportunity to check whether it
-causes a deadlock. The more lockdep adds dependencies, the more it
-thoroughly works. Thus Lockdep has to do its best to detect and add as
-many true dependencies into a graph as possible.
-
-For example, considering only typical locks, lockdep builds a graph like:
-
- A -> B -
- \
- -> E
- /
- C -> D -
-
- where A, B,..., E are different lock classes.
-
-On the other hand, under the relaxation, additional dependencies might
-be created and added. Assuming additional 'FX -> C' and 'E -> GX' are
-added thanks to the relaxation, the graph will be:
-
- A -> B -
- \
- -> E -> GX
- /
- FX -> C -> D -
-
- where A, B,..., E, FX and GX are different lock classes, and a suffix
- 'X' is added on non-typical locks.
-
-The latter graph gives us more chances to check circular dependencies
-than the former. However, it might suffer performance degradation since
-relaxing the limitation, with which design and implementation of lockdep
-can be efficient, might introduce inefficiency inevitably. So lockdep
-should provide two options, strong detection and efficient detection.
-
-Choosing efficient detection:
-
- Lockdep works with only locks restricted to be released within the
- acquire context. However, lockdep works efficiently.
-
-Choosing strong detection:
-
- Lockdep works with all synchronization primitives. However, lockdep
- suffers performance degradation.
-
-CONCLUSION
-
-Relaxing the limitation, lockdep can add additional dependencies giving
-additional opportunities to check circular dependencies.
-
-
-============
-Crossrelease
-============
-
-Introduce crossrelease
-----------------------
-
-In order to allow lockdep to handle additional dependencies by what
-might be released in any context, namely 'crosslock', we have to be able
-to identify those created by crosslocks. The proposed 'crossrelease'
-feature provoides a way to do that.
-
-Crossrelease feature has to do:
-
- 1. Identify dependencies created by crosslocks.
- 2. Add the dependencies into a dependency graph.
-
-That's all. Once a meaningful dependency is added into graph, then
-lockdep would work with the graph as it did. The most important thing
-crossrelease feature has to do is to correctly identify and add true
-dependencies into the global graph.
-
-A dependency e.g. 'A -> B' can be identified only in the A's release
-context because a decision required to identify the dependency can be
-made only in the release context. That is to decide whether A can be
-released so that a waiter for A can be woken up. It cannot be made in
-other than the A's release context.
-
-It's no matter for typical locks because each acquire context is same as
-its release context, thus lockdep can decide whether a lock can be
-released in the acquire context. However for crosslocks, lockdep cannot
-make the decision in the acquire context but has to wait until the
-release context is identified.
-
-Therefore, deadlocks by crosslocks cannot be detected just when it
-happens, because those cannot be identified until the crosslocks are
-released. However, deadlock possibilities can be detected and it's very
-worth. See 'APPENDIX A' section to check why.
-
-CONCLUSION
-
-Using crossrelease feature, lockdep can work with what might be released
-in any context, namely crosslock.
-
-
-Introduce commit
-----------------
-
-Since crossrelease defers the work adding true dependencies of
-crosslocks until they are actually released, crossrelease has to queue
-all acquisitions which might create dependencies with the crosslocks.
-Then it identifies dependencies using the queued data in batches at a
-proper time. We call it 'commit'.
-
-There are four types of dependencies:
-
-1. TT type: 'typical lock A -> typical lock B'
-
- Just when acquiring B, lockdep can see it's in the A's release
- context. So the dependency between A and B can be identified
- immediately. Commit is unnecessary.
-
-2. TC type: 'typical lock A -> crosslock BX'
-
- Just when acquiring BX, lockdep can see it's in the A's release
- context. So the dependency between A and BX can be identified
- immediately. Commit is unnecessary, too.
-
-3. CT type: 'crosslock AX -> typical lock B'
-
- When acquiring B, lockdep cannot identify the dependency because
- there's no way to know if it's in the AX's release context. It has
- to wait until the decision can be made. Commit is necessary.
-
-4. CC type: 'crosslock AX -> crosslock BX'
-
- When acquiring BX, lockdep cannot identify the dependency because
- there's no way to know if it's in the AX's release context. It has
- to wait until the decision can be made. Commit is necessary.
- But, handling CC type is not implemented yet. It's a future work.
-
-Lockdep can work without commit for typical locks, but commit step is
-necessary once crosslocks are involved. Introducing commit, lockdep
-performs three steps. What lockdep does in each step is:
-
-1. Acquisition: For typical locks, lockdep does what it originally did
- and queues the lock so that CT type dependencies can be checked using
- it at the commit step. For crosslocks, it saves data which will be
- used at the commit step and increases a reference count for it.
-
-2. Commit: No action is reauired for typical locks. For crosslocks,
- lockdep adds CT type dependencies using the data saved at the
- acquisition step.
-
-3. Release: No changes are required for typical locks. When a crosslock
- is released, it decreases a reference count for it.
-
-CONCLUSION
-
-Crossrelease introduces commit step to handle dependencies of crosslocks
-in batches at a proper time.
-
-
-==============
-Implementation
-==============
-
-Data structures
----------------
-
-Crossrelease introduces two main data structures.
-
-1. hist_lock
-
- This is an array embedded in task_struct, for keeping lock history so
- that dependencies can be added using them at the commit step. Since
- it's local data, it can be accessed locklessly in the owner context.
- The array is filled at the acquisition step and consumed at the
- commit step. And it's managed in circular manner.
-
-2. cross_lock
-
- One per lockdep_map exists. This is for keeping data of crosslocks
- and used at the commit step.
-
-
-How crossrelease works
-----------------------
-
-It's the key of how crossrelease works, to defer necessary works to an
-appropriate point in time and perform in at once at the commit step.
-Let's take a look with examples step by step, starting from how lockdep
-works without crossrelease for typical locks.
-
- acquire A /* Push A onto held_locks */
- acquire B /* Push B onto held_locks and add 'A -> B' */
- acquire C /* Push C onto held_locks and add 'B -> C' */
- release C /* Pop C from held_locks */
- release B /* Pop B from held_locks */
- release A /* Pop A from held_locks */
-
- where A, B and C are different lock classes.
-
- NOTE: This document assumes that readers already understand how
- lockdep works without crossrelease thus omits details. But there's
- one thing to note. Lockdep pretends to pop a lock from held_locks
- when releasing it. But it's subtly different from the original pop
- operation because lockdep allows other than the top to be poped.
-
-In this case, lockdep adds 'the top of held_locks -> the lock to acquire'
-dependency every time acquiring a lock.
-
-After adding 'A -> B', a dependency graph will be:
-
- A -> B
-
- where A and B are different lock classes.
-
-And after adding 'B -> C', the graph will be:
-
- A -> B -> C
-
- where A, B and C are different lock classes.
-
-Let's performs commit step even for typical locks to add dependencies.
-Of course, commit step is not necessary for them, however, it would work
-well because this is a more general way.
-
- acquire A
- /*
- * Queue A into hist_locks
- *
- * In hist_locks: A
- * In graph: Empty
- */
-
- acquire B
- /*
- * Queue B into hist_locks
- *
- * In hist_locks: A, B
- * In graph: Empty
- */
-
- acquire C
- /*
- * Queue C into hist_locks
- *
- * In hist_locks: A, B, C
- * In graph: Empty
- */
-
- commit C
- /*
- * Add 'C -> ?'
- * Answer the following to decide '?'
- * What has been queued since acquire C: Nothing
- *
- * In hist_locks: A, B, C
- * In graph: Empty
- */
-
- release C
-
- commit B
- /*
- * Add 'B -> ?'
- * Answer the following to decide '?'
- * What has been queued since acquire B: C
- *
- * In hist_locks: A, B, C
- * In graph: 'B -> C'
- */
-
- release B
-
- commit A
- /*
- * Add 'A -> ?'
- * Answer the following to decide '?'
- * What has been queued since acquire A: B, C
- *
- * In hist_locks: A, B, C
- * In graph: 'B -> C', 'A -> B', 'A -> C'
- */
-
- release A
-
- where A, B and C are different lock classes.
-
-In this case, dependencies are added at the commit step as described.
-
-After commits for A, B and C, the graph will be:
-
- A -> B -> C
-
- where A, B and C are different lock classes.
-
- NOTE: A dependency 'A -> C' is optimized out.
-
-We can see the former graph built without commit step is same as the
-latter graph built using commit steps. Of course the former way leads to
-earlier finish for building the graph, which means we can detect a
-deadlock or its possibility sooner. So the former way would be prefered
-when possible. But we cannot avoid using the latter way for crosslocks.
-
-Let's look at how commit steps work for crosslocks. In this case, the
-commit step is performed only on crosslock AX as real. And it assumes
-that the AX release context is different from the AX acquire context.

-
- where A, BX, C,..., E are different lock classes, and a suffix 'X' is
- added on crosslocks.
-
-Crossrelease considers all acquisitions after acqiuring BX are
-candidates which might create dependencies with BX. True dependencies
-will be determined when identifying the release context of BX. Meanwhile,
-all typical locks are queued so that they can be used at the commit step.
-And then two dependencies 'BX -> C' and 'BX -> E' are added at the
-commit step when identifying the release context.
-
-The final graph will be, with crossrelease:
-
- -> C
- /
- -> BX -
- / \
- A - -> E
- \
- -> D
-
- where A, BX, C,..., E are different lock classes, and a suffix 'X' is
- added on crosslocks.
-
-However, the final graph will be, without crossrelease:
-
- A -> D
-
- where A and D are different lock classes.
-
-The former graph has three more dependencies, 'A -> BX', 'BX -> C' and
-'BX -> E' giving additional opportunities to check if they cause
-deadlocks. This way lockdep can detect a deadlock or its possibility
-caused by crosslocks.
-
-CONCLUSION
-
-We checked how crossrelease works with several examples.
-
-
-=============
-Optimizations
-=============
-
-Avoid duplication
------------------
-
-Crossrelease feature uses a cache like what lockdep already uses for
-dependency chains, but this time it's for caching CT type dependencies.
-Once that dependency is cached, the same will never be added again.
-
-
-Lockless for hot paths
-----------------------
-
-To keep all locks for later use at the commit step, crossrelease adopts
-a local array embedded in task_struct, which makes access to the data
-lockless by forcing it to happen only within the owner context. It's
-like how lockdep handles held_locks. Lockless implmentation is important
-since typical locks are very frequently acquired and released.
-
-
-=================================================
-APPENDIX A: What lockdep does to work aggresively
-=================================================
-
-A deadlock actually occurs when all wait operations creating circular
-dependencies run at the same time. Even though they don't, a potential
-deadlock exists if the problematic dependencies exist. Thus it's
-meaningful to detect not only an actual deadlock but also its potential
-possibility. The latter is rather valuable. When a deadlock occurs
-actually, we can identify what happens in the system by some means or
-other even without lockdep. However, there's no way to detect possiblity
-without lockdep unless the whole code is parsed in head. It's terrible.
-Lockdep does the both, and crossrelease only focuses on the latter.
-
-Whether or not a deadlock actually occurs depends on several factors.
-For example, what order contexts are switched in is a factor. Assuming
-circular dependencies exist, a deadlock would occur when contexts are
-switched so that all wait operations creating the dependencies run
-simultaneously. Thus to detect a deadlock possibility even in the case
-that it has not occured yet, lockdep should consider all possible
-combinations of dependencies, trying to:
-
-1. Use a global dependency graph.
-
- Lockdep combines all dependencies into one global graph and uses them,
- regardless of which context generates them or what order contexts are
- switched in. Aggregated dependencies are only considered so they are
- prone to be circular if a problem exists.
-
-2. Check dependencies between classes instead of instances.
-
- What actually causes a deadlock are instances of lock. However,
- lockdep checks dependencies between classes instead of instances.
- This way lockdep can detect a deadlock which has not happened but
- might happen in future by others but the same class.
-
-3. Assume all acquisitions lead to waiting.
-
- Although locks might be acquired without waiting which is essential
- to create dependencies, lockdep assumes all acquisitions lead to
- waiting since it might be true some time or another.
-
-CONCLUSION
-
-Lockdep detects not only an actual deadlock but also its possibility,
-and the latter is more valuable.
-
-
-==================================================
-APPENDIX B: How to avoid adding false dependencies
-==================================================
-
-Remind what a dependency is. A dependency exists if:
-
- 1. There are two waiters waiting for each event at a given time.
- 2. The only way to wake up each waiter is to trigger its event.
- 3. Whether one can be woken up depends on whether the other can.
-
-For example:
-
- acquire A
- acquire B /* A dependency 'A -> B' exists */
- release B
- release A
-
- where A and B are different lock classes.
-
-A depedency 'A -> B' exists since:
-
- 1. A waiter for A and a waiter for B might exist when acquiring B.
- 2. Only way to wake up each is to release what it waits for.
- 3. Whether the waiter for A can be woken up depends on whether the
- other can. IOW, TASK X cannot release A if it fails to acquire B.
-
-For another example:
-
- TASK X TASK Y
- ------ ------
- acquire AX
- acquire B /* A dependency 'AX -> B' exists */
- release B
- release AX held by Y
-
- where AX and B are different lock classes, and a suffix 'X' is added
- on crosslocks.
-
-Even in this case involving crosslocks, the same rule can be applied. A
-depedency 'AX -> B' exists since:
-
- 1. A waiter for AX and a waiter for B might exist when acquiring B.
- 2. Only way to wake up each is to release what it waits for.
- 3. Whether the waiter for AX can be woken up depends on whether the
- other can. IOW, TASK X cannot release AX if it fails to acquire B.
-
-Let's take a look at more complicated example:
-
- TASK X TASK Y
- ------ ------
- acquire B
- release B
- fork Y
- acquire AX
- acquire C /* A dependency 'AX -> C' exists */
- release C
- release AX held by Y
-
- where AX, B and C are different lock classes, and a suffix 'X' is
- added on crosslocks.
-
-Does a dependency 'AX -> B' exist? Nope.
-
-Two waiters are essential to create a dependency. However, waiters for
-AX and B to create 'AX -> B' cannot exist at the same time in this
-example. Thus the dependency 'AX -> B' cannot be created.
-
-It would be ideal if the full set of true ones can be considered. But
-we can ensure nothing but what actually happened. Relying on what
-actually happens at runtime, we can anyway add only true ones, though
-they might be a subset of true ones. It's similar to how lockdep works
-for typical locks. There might be more true dependencies than what
-lockdep has detected in runtime. Lockdep has no choice but to rely on
-what actually happens. Crossrelease also relies on it.
-
-CONCLUSION
-
-Relying on what actually happens, lockdep can avoid adding false
-dependencies.

+===============================================
+XFRM device - offloading the IPsec computations
+===============================================
+Shannon Nelson <shannon.nelson@oracle.com>
+
+
+Overview
+========
+
+IPsec is a useful feature for securing network traffic, but the
+computational cost is high: a 10Gbps link can easily be brought down
+to under 1Gbps, depending on the traffic and link configuration.
+Luckily, there are NICs that offer a hardware based IPsec offload which
+can radically increase throughput and decrease CPU utilization. The XFRM
+Device interface allows NIC drivers to offer to the stack access to the
+hardware offload.
+
+Userland access to the offload is typically through a system such as
+libreswan or KAME/raccoon, but the iproute2 'ip xfrm' command set can
+be handy when experimenting. An example command might look something
+like this:
+
+ ip x s add proto esp dst 14.0.0.70 src 14.0.0.52 spi 0x07 mode transport \
+ reqid 0x07 replay-window 32 \
+ aead 'rfc4106(gcm(aes))' 0x44434241343332312423222114131211f4f3f2f1 128 \
+ sel src 14.0.0.52/24 dst 14.0.0.70/24 proto tcp \
+ offload dev eth4 dir in
+
+Yes, that's ugly, but that's what shell scripts and/or libreswan are for.
+
+
+
+Callbacks to implement
+======================
+
+/* from include/linux/netdevice.h */
+struct xfrmdev_ops {
+ int (*xdo_dev_state_add) (struct xfrm_state *x);
+ void (*xdo_dev_state_delete) (struct xfrm_state *x);
+ void (*xdo_dev_state_free) (struct xfrm_state *x);
+ bool (*xdo_dev_offload_ok) (struct sk_buff *skb,
+ struct xfrm_state *x);
+};
+
+The NIC driver offering ipsec offload will need to implement these
+callbacks to make the offload available to the network stack's
+XFRM subsytem. Additionally, the feature bits NETIF_F_HW_ESP and
+NETIF_F_HW_ESP_TX_CSUM will signal the availability of the offload.
+
+
+
+Flow
+====
+
+At probe time and before the call to register_netdev(), the driver should
+set up local data structures and XFRM callbacks, and set the feature bits.
+The XFRM code's listener will finish the setup on NETDEV_REGISTER.
+
+ adapter->netdev->xfrmdev_ops = &ixgbe_xfrmdev_ops;
+ adapter->netdev->features |= NETIF_F_HW_ESP;
+ adapter->netdev->hw_enc_features |= NETIF_F_HW_ESP;
+
+When new SAs are set up with a request for "offload" feature, the
+driver's xdo_dev_state_add() will be given the new SA to be offloaded
+and an indication of whether it is for Rx or Tx. The driver should
+ - verify the algorithm is supported for offloads
+ - store the SA information (key, salt, target-ip, protocol, etc)
+ - enable the HW offload of the SA
+
+The driver can also set an offload_handle in the SA, an opaque void pointer
+that can be used to convey context into the fast-path offload requests.
+
+ xs->xso.offload_handle = context;
+
+
+When the network stack is preparing an IPsec packet for an SA that has
+been setup for offload, it first calls into xdo_dev_offload_ok() with
+the skb and the intended offload state to ask the driver if the offload
+will serviceable. This can check the packet information to be sure the
+offload can be supported (e.g. IPv4 or IPv6, no IPv4 options, etc) and
+return true of false to signify its support.
+
+When ready to send, the driver needs to inspect the Tx packet for the
+offload information, including the opaque context, and set up the packet
+send accordingly.
+
+ xs = xfrm_input_state(skb);
+ context = xs->xso.offload_handle;
+ set up HW for send
+
+The stack has already inserted the appropriate IPsec headers in the
+packet data, the offload just needs to do the encryption and fix up the
+header values.
+
+
+When a packet is received and the HW has indicated that it offloaded a
+decryption, the driver needs to add a reference to the decoded SA into
+the packet's skb. At this point the data should be decrypted but the
+IPsec headers are still in the packet data; they are removed later up
+the stack in xfrm_input().
+
+ find and hold the SA that was used to the Rx skb
+ get spi, protocol, and destination IP from packet headers
+ xs = find xs from (spi, protocol, dest_IP)
+ xfrm_state_hold(xs);
+
+ store the state information into the skb
+ skb->sp = secpath_dup(skb->sp);
+ skb->sp->xvec[skb->sp->len++] = xs;
+ skb->sp->olen++;
+
+ indicate the success and/or error status of the offload
+ xo = xfrm_offload(skb);
+ xo->flags = CRYPTO_DONE;
+ xo->status = crypto_status;
+
+ hand the packet to napi_gro_receive() as usual
+
+
+When the SA is removed by the user, the driver's xdo_dev_state_delete()
+is asked to disable the offload. Later, xdo_dev_state_free() is called
+from a garbage collection routine after all reference counts to the state
+have been removed and any remaining resources can be cleared for the
+offload state. How these are used by the driver will depend on specific
+hardware needs.
+
+As a netdev is set to DOWN the XFRM stack's netdev listener will call
+xdo_dev_state_delete() and xdo_dev_state_free() on any remaining offloaded
+states.
