IIUC, this could be one critical section. Could you perhaps merge these while at it? Could be a follow-up patch. Rest of the patch looks fine to me.

It seems to me that the same syncp can be used from two different threads : hard irq and napi poller... At this point, I do not see why you keep linux/u64_stats_sync.h if you decide to go for a spinlock... Alternative would use atomic64_t fields for the ones where there is no mutual exclusion. RX : napi poll is definitely safe (protected by an atomic bit) TX : each TX queue is also safe (protected by an atomic exclusion for non LLTX drivers) This leaves the fields updated from hardware interrupt context ?

I have merged the interrupt disable/enable, but there are two separate spinlocks for rxq_stats (added to struct stmmac_txq_stats) and for txq_stats (added to struct stmmac_rxq_stats), so they cannot be merged. Alternatively, I could use the channel lock to protect stats updates, but that could increase contention of that lock. I believe more granularity is better, especially if it does not cost anything: There is plenty of unused space in struct stmmac_txq_stats and struct stmmac_rxq_stats (they are both cache-aligned).

Yes, it adds a (hopefully not too contended) spinlock and in most places an interrupt disable/enable pair. FWIW the race condition is also present on 64-bit platforms, resulting in inaccurate statistic counters.

I'm afraid I don't have enough network-stack-foo to follow here. My issue on 32 bit is that stmmac_xmit() may be called directly from process context while another core runs the TX napi on the same channel (in interrupt context). I didn't observe any race on the RX path, but I believe it's possible with NAPI busy polling. In any case, I don't see the connection with LLTX. Maybe you want to say that the TX queue is safe for stmmac (because it is a non-LLTX driver), but might not be safe for LLTX drivers? Petr T

LLTX drivers (mostly virtual drivers like tunnels...) can have multiple cpus running ndo_start_xmit() concurrently. So any use of a 'shared syncp' would be a bug. These drivers usually use per-cpu stats, to avoid races and false sharing anyway. I think you should split the structures into two separate groups, each guarded with its own syncp. No extra spinlocks, no extra costs on 64bit arches... If TX completion can run in parallel with ndo_start_xmit(), then clearly we have to split stmmac_txq_stats in two halves: Also please note the conversion from u64 to u64_stats_t Very partial patch, only to show the split and new structure : diff --git a/drivers/net/ethernet/stmicro/stmmac/common.h b/drivers/net/ethernet/stmicro/stmmac/common.h index e3f650e88f82f927f0dcf95748fbd10c14c30cbe..702bceea5dc8c875a80f5e3a92b7bb058f373eda 100644 --- a/drivers/net/ethernet/stmicro/stmmac/common.h +++ b/drivers/net/ethernet/stmicro/stmmac/common.h @@ -60,16 +60,22 @@ /* #define FRAME_FILTER_DEBUG */ struct stmmac_txq_stats { - u64 tx_bytes; - u64 tx_packets; - u64 tx_pkt_n; - u64 tx_normal_irq_n; - u64 napi_poll; - u64 tx_clean; - u64 tx_set_ic_bit; - u64 tx_tso_frames; - u64 tx_tso_nfrags; - struct u64_stats_sync syncp; +/* First part, updated from ndo_start_xmit(), protected by tx queue lock */ + struct u64_stats_sync syncp_tx; + u64_stats_t tx_bytes; + u64_stats_t tx_packets; + u64_stats_t tx_pkt_n; + u64_stats_t tx_tso_frames; + u64_stats_t tx_tso_nfrags; + +/* Second part, updated from TX completion (protected by NAPI poll logic) */ + struct u64_stats_sync syncp_tx_completion; + u64_stats_t napi_poll; + u64_stats_t tx_clean; + u64_stats_t tx_set_ic_bit; + +/* Following feld is updated from hard irq context... */ + atomic64_t tx_normal_irq_n; } ____cacheline_aligned_in_smp; struct stmmac_rxq_stats {

Yes, that's much better, indeed. I mean, the counters have never been consistent (due to the race on the writer side), and nobody is concerned. So, there is no value in taking a consistent snapshot in stmmac_get_ethtool_stats(). I'm going to rework and retest my patch. Thank you for pointing me in the right direction! Petr T > Also please note the conversion from u64 to u64_stats_t Noted. IIUC this will in turn close the update race on 64-bit by using an atomic type and on 32-bit by using a seqlock. Clever.

But I think the field could be converted to an atomic64_t. Which raises a question: Why aren't all stat counters simply atomic64_t? There is no guarantee that the reader side takes a consistent snapshot (except on 32-bit). So, why do we even bother with u64_stats_sync? Is it merely because u64_stats_add() should be cheaper than atomic64_add()? Or is there anything else I'm missing? If yes, does it invalidate my proposal to convert tx_set_ic_bit to an atomic64_t?

This infra was added to have no _lock_ overhead on 64bit arches. If a counter must be updated from multiple cpus (regardless of 32/64 bit kernel), then use atomic64_t > > Is it merely because u64_stats_add() should be cheaper than > atomic64_add()? Or is there anything else I'm missing? If yes, does it > invalidate my proposal to convert tx_set_ic_bit to an atomic64_t? atomic64_add() is expensive, especially in contexts where updates are already guarded by a spinlock or something.

Oh, right, why didn't I think about it! This only leaves an atomic_t in hard irq context. I have tried to find something that could relax the requirement, but AFAICS at least some setups use several interrupts that can be delivered to different CPUs simultaneously, and all of them will walk over all channels.

Yeah, I know atomics can be expensive. I've heard of cases where an Arm core was spinning on an atomic operation for several seconds... Petr T

Thanks for the tip. Honestly, the more I'm looking into this, the less I am convinced that it is worth the effort, but yeah, if we touch this code now, let's do things properly. ;-) > Maybe look at mvneta.c for inspiration.

Doesn't that consume rather a lot of memory on systems with 'silly numbers' of cpu? Updating an atomic_t is (pretty much) the same as taking a lock. unlock() is also likely to also contain an atomic operation. So if you update more than two atomic_t it is likely that a lock will be faster.

Systems with silly number of CPUS tend to also have silly amounts of memory. We are talking about maybe a dozen u64 here. So the memory usage goes from 144 bytes, to 144K for a 1024CPU system. Is 144K excessive for such a system? > Updating an atomic_t is (pretty much) the same as taking a lock. > unlock() is also likely to also contain an atomic operation. > So if you update more than two atomic_t it is likely that a lock > will be faster. True, but all those 1024 CPUs in your silly system get affected by a lock or an atomic. They all need to do something with there L1 and L2 cache when using atomics. Spending an extra 144K of RAM means the other 1023 CPUs don't notice anything at all during the increment phase, which could be happening 1M times a second. They only get involved when something in user space wants the statistics, so maybe once per second from the SNMP agent. Also, stmmac is not used on silly CPU systems. It used in embedded systems. I doubt its integrated into anything with more than 8 CPUs. Andrew

I'm not even sure it's worth converting _all_ statistic counters to per-CPU variables. Most of them are already guarded by a lock (either the queue lock, or NAPI scheduling). Only the hard interrupt counter is not protected by anything, so it's more like 8k on a 1024-CPU system.... > > Updating an atomic_t is (pretty much) the same as taking a lock. > > unlock() is also likely to also contain an atomic operation. > > So if you update more than two atomic_t it is likely that a lock > > will be faster. > > True, but all those 1024 CPUs in your silly system get affected by a > lock or an atomic.

Add a spinlock to fix race conditions while updating Tx/Rx statistics. As explained by a comment in <linux/u64_stats_sync.h>, write side of struct u64_stats_sync must ensure mutual exclusion, or one seqcount update could be lost on 32-bit platforms, thus blocking readers forever. Such lockups have been actually observed on 32-bit Arm after stmmac_xmit() on one core raced with stmmac_napi_poll_tx() on another core.
