Dean Nelson cd35ef9149 thunderx: eliminate extra calls to put_page() for pages held for recycling For the non-XDP case, commit `773225388d` ("net: thunderx: Optimize page recycling for XDP") added code to nicvf_free_rbdr() that, when releasing the additional receive buffer page reference held for recycling, repeatedly calls put_page() until the page's _refcount goes to zero. Which results in the page being freed. This is not okay if the page's _refcount was greater than 1 (in the non-XDP case), because nicvf_free_rbdr() should not be subtracting more than what nicvf_alloc_page() had previously added to the page's _refcount, which was only 1 (in the non-XDP case). This can arise if a received packet is still being processed and the receive buffer (i.e., skb->head) has not yet been freed via skb_free_head() when nicvf_free_rbdr() is spinning through the aforementioned put_page() loop. If this should occur, when the received packet finishes processing and skb_free_head() is called, various problems can ensue. Exactly what, depends on whether the page has already been reallocated or not, anything from "BUG: Bad page state ... ", to "Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference ..." or "Unable to handle kernel paging request...". So this patch changes nicvf_free_rbdr() to only call put_page() once for pages held for recycling (in the non-XDP case).

README

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
