Linux Virtualization - Nov 2013 - [PATCH net 1/3] virtio-net: drop the rest of buffers when we can't allocate skb

When mergeable buffer were used, we only put the first page buf leave the rest
of buffers in the virt queue. This will cause the driver could not get the
correct head buffer any more. Fix this by dropping the rest of buffers for this
packet.

The bug was introduced by commit 9ab86bbcf8be755256f0a5e994e0b38af6b4d399
(virtio_net: Defer skb allocation in receive path).

We need decrease the rq->num after we can get a buf through
virtqueue_get_buf() even if we could not allocate frag skb. Otherwise, the
refill routine won't be triggered under heavy memory stress since the driver
may
still think there's enough room.

When we fail to allocate a frag skb, we need put the refcnt of the page and drop
the rest of the buffers. Otherwise the page was leaked and driver won't get

This is the same code we have in receive_mergeable anyway.
So let's reuse that.

receive_mergeable() was called after page_to_skb() was called and 
there's lots of conditions check there. I'm not sure how could we 
reuse them.

Just to clarify my previous comment: it was not about the
idea of adding drop_mergeable_buffer - rather, I think that
adding knowledge about mergeable buffers into page_to_skb creates an
ugly internal API.

Let's move the call to page_to_skb within receive_mergeable instead:
it's also nice that int offset = buf - page_address(page) logic
is not spread around like it was.

Also, it's not nice that we ignore length errors when we drop
packets because of OOM.

So I came up with the following - it seems to work but I didn't
stress test yet.

    virtio_net: fix error handling for mergeable buffers
    
    Eric Dumazet noticed that if we encounter an error
    when processing a mergeable buffer, we don't
    dequeue all of the buffers from this packet,
    the result is almost sure to be loss of networking.
    
    Jason Wang noticed that we also leak a page and that we don't decrement
    the rq buf count, so we won't repost buffers (a resource leak).

I've no objection on this. But I've rather like my small and direct
patch
to be applied to -net first. It has lower risk and was much more easier to 
be backported to stable trees. Then we can do the re-factor like this in 
net-next.

>     virtio_net: fix error handling for mergeable buffers
>     
>     Eric Dumazet noticed that if we encounter an error
>     when processing a mergeable buffer, we don't
>     dequeue all of the buffers from this packet,
>     the result is almost sure to be loss of networking.
>     
>     Jason Wang noticed that we also leak a page and that we don't
decrement
>     the rq buf count, so we won't repost buffers (a resource leak).
