__netpoll_send_skb() parks an skb on npinfo->txq whenever the device
cannot take it at once, and once the queue is non-empty every later skb
goes straight there to keep ordering. queue_process() drains it from a
workqueue and, unlike the direct path, never polls the device for
completions: when the ring is stopped it backs off HZ/10. Nothing limits
the queue length.
A producer that outruns that drain therefore grows the queue until the
host is out of memory. Observed with netconsole forwarding a GPU driver
that logged one line at ~1e5/s after a firmware hang. The NIC was
moving ~17k packets/s: completions for each burst surfaced tens of ms
later, outside the one-tick window, so queue_process() slept HZ/10 per
ring while ~1e5 lines/s kept arriving. The queue grew at ~170 MB/s,
unreclaimable slab reached 51 GiB in five minutes and the OOM killer
ran from kswapd with 341 MiB of anonymous memory on the whole box. What
the queue held was the flood itself; the OOM report never left the
host.
Reproduced on the same host (netconsole over a 10G ConnectX-4 Lx) under
the same slow-completion condition: 200k lines to /dev/kmsg in 0.12 s
grew unreclaimable slab by 173 MiB, about 188k skbs, draining at
~8-10k packets/s. With prompt completions the same burst drains at line
rate; a stall on the link while lines keep arriving faster than the
drain reproduces the growth.
Until the 2006 netpoll rework [1] the deferred path drained through
dev_queue_xmit(), with the stack's own backpressure, and was capped at
16 skbs (MAX_QUEUE_DEPTH). That series moved it to a direct
hard_start_xmit() with the HZ/10 back-off and made the queue
per-device, dropping the cap on the way.
Cap it at 1024 skbs per device and drop new skbs beyond that. The drop
is counted in tx_dropped of the device whose queue is full and freed
with SKB_DROP_REASON_FULL_RING. A netconsole target bound directly to
that device also gets NET_XMIT_DROP and, with CONFIG_NETCONSOLE_DYNAMIC,
counts it in xmit_drop_count. When a stacked device (bond, bridge,
team, vlan, macvlan) passes the skb down and the lower device's queue
is the one that fills, the return value does not reach netconsole and
the lower device's tx_dropped is the record. The bound holds either
way. Nothing is logged on the drop path because that would recurse
into the console being drained.

netpoll_wait_carrier() waits for the egress device carrier during
netconsole setup. Its only caller, netcons_netpoll_setup(), already
lives in netconsole. Move the function into drivers/net/netconsole.c,
drop EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL() and remove the prototype from <linux/netpoll.h>.
Rename it to netcons_wait_carrier() for the netcons_ prefix. It now reads
the timeout through netpoll_get_carrier_timeout(), since carrier_timeout
stays in netpoll to keep the netpoll.carrier_timeout parameter.

Temporarily export leaf functions that will be moved to netconsole.
The upcoming patch will move the setup function to netconsole, and
continue to call these leaf functions here in netpoll, then other
patches will move these exports functions to netconsole (and make them
statics).
In summary, these exports are temporary in order to make the patchset

netpoll_wait_carrier() is only used in netconsole, and it will move to
netconsole.
The carrier_timeout module parameter has to stay in netpoll so the
existing netpoll.carrier_timeout kernel parameter keeps working for
current users, and we don't break user compatibility.
Add a netpoll_get_carrier_timeout() accessor and export it so netconsole
can read the value once the carrier wait lives there. Drop the now
redundant timeout argument from netpoll_wait_carrier() (its only caller
passed carrier_timeout) and read the parameter directly while the helper
still lives here.

refill_skbs() is now only called from netconsole (directly via

MAX_UDP_CHUNK and MAX_SKB_SIZE were promoted to <linux/netpoll.h>
by commit 6c537b845c99 ("netconsole: do not dequeue pooled skbs that
cannot satisfy len") so find_skb() could detect oversized requests
against the same value refill_skbs() used. With both functions now

The fallback skb pool fronted by find_skb() is netconsole's only client:
every other netpoll goes through __netpoll_setup() / netpoll_send_skb()
without ever touching np->skb_pool.
Today __netpoll_setup() and __netpoll_cleanup() create and destroy the
pool for everyone, paying ~48 KB of pre-allocated skbs per netpoll
instance that only netconsole uses, what a waste!
Move the responsibility to netconsole. __netpoll_setup() did this under
the RTNL, but netconsole enables targets from enabled_store() /
alloc_param_target() without it, while the teardown path flushes the pool
(cancel_work_sync() + skb_queue_purge()) under the RTNL from
netconsole_process_cleanups_core(). Initialising the queue head and the
refill work on every enable would therefore race that flush.
They only need initialising once: after a flush the queue head is left
valid and empty and cancel_work_sync() leaves the work re-armable. Set
them up in alloc_and_init(), while the target is not yet reachable, and
let the enable paths only refill the pool via refill_skbs(), which
serialises with the flush through skb_pool.lock. See discussions in [1]

These three helpers manage the per-netpoll fallback skb pool. They
are file-static today because all of their callers live in
net/core/netpoll.c. Subsequent patches relocate the pool's owner
from struct netpoll to the only consumer that actually uses it
(netconsole), and that work needs netconsole to drive the helpers
directly while the function bodies still live here.
Drop static, add prototypes in <linux/netpoll.h>, and
EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL() each. No behaviour change.
The exports are transitional. Each helper is moved into
drivers/net/netconsole.c later in this series, and at that point
its EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL() and prototype are dropped. By the end of
the series no symbol introduced here remains exported.
The goal of this patch is to make the subsequente patches easy to
review.

refill_skbs() tops up the per-netpoll skb pool with GFP_ATOMIC and
simply stops on the first allocation failure, leaving the pool partially
filled; a later refill tops it up once memory frees up. The allocation
failing is therefore an expected and fully handled condition, but
without __GFP_NOWARN the page allocator emits a warn_alloc() splat with
a full stack trace on every miss.
Pass __GFP_NOWARN so the best-effort refill stays quiet, mirroring the
same change in netconsole's find_skb().

The problem happens when there is a pending TX worker running in
parallel with the cleanup path.
This is what happens on netpoll shutdown path:
1) __netpoll_cleanup() is called
2) set dev->npinfo to NULL
3) call_rcu() with rcu_cleanup_netpoll_info()
3.1) rcu_cleanup_netpoll_info() tries to cancel all workers with
cancel_delayed_work(), but doesn't wait for the worker to finish
4) and kfree(npinfo);
Because 3.1) doesn't really cancel the work, as the comment says "we
can't call cancel_delayed_work_sync here, as we are in softirq", the TX
worker can run after 4).
Tl;DR: queue_process() is not an RCU reader, it reaches npinfo through
the work item via container_of().
Use disable_delayed_work_sync() to ensure the worker is completely
stopped and prevent any future re-arming attempts. Once npinfo is set
to NULL, senders will bail out and not queue new work. The disable flag
ensures any in-flight re-arming attempts also fail silently.
In the future, we can do the cleanup inline here without needing the
npinfo->rcu rcu_head, but that is net-next material.

find_skb() falls back to np->skb_pool when the GFP_ATOMIC alloc_skb()
fails. The pool is refilled by refill_skbs(), which always allocates
buffers of MAX_SKB_SIZE (ethhdr + iphdr + udphdr + MAX_UDP_CHUNK ==
1502 bytes).
netconsole, however, computes the requested length dynamically as
total_len + np->dev->needed_tailroom
If the egress device declares a non-zero needed_tailroom (e.g. some
tunnel or hardware accelerator devices), the required length can exceed
MAX_SKB_SIZE. The pooled skb is then handed back to the caller, which
immediately performs skb_put(skb, len), trips the tail > end check, and
triggers skb_over_panic().
Leave the normal alloc_skb(len, GFP_ATOMIC) path untouched -- the slab
allocator can still satisfy oversized requests when memory is available,
so senders to devices with non-zero needed_tailroom keep working in the
common case. Only the pool fallback is gated: when alloc_skb() failed
and len exceeds the pool buffer size, skip the skb_dequeue() instead of
burning a pre-allocated skb on a request that would later trip
skb_over_panic(). Reserving pool entries for requests they can actually
satisfy also keeps the panic path, which depends on the pool being
primed, intact.
When that drop happens, emit a rate-limited net_warn() so the user
notices that netconsole is unable to push messages on the egress device.
The warn is skipped under in_nmi() for the same reason schedule_work()
is: printk machinery taken by net_warn_ratelimited() is not NMI-safe and
would risk recursing into the same nbcon console we are servicing.
MAX_SKB_SIZE / MAX_UDP_CHUNK were private to net/core/netpoll.c. Move
them to include/linux/netpoll.h so netconsole can reference the same
definition that refill_skbs() uses, keeping the two in sync by
construction. The header now pulls in <linux/ip.h> and <linux/udp.h>
explicitly so MAX_SKB_SIZE remains self-contained for any future user.

__netpoll_send_skb() always transmits through np->dev and queues busy
packets on np->dev->npinfo->txq, but it leaves skb->dev unchanged.
Stacked callers such as DSA and macvlan can reach netpoll with skb->dev
still naming the upper device while np->dev is the lower device that
owns the netpoll state.
If the skb has to be deferred, queue_process() later dequeues it from
the lower device's txq but retries it through skb->dev. That can
re-enter the upper ndo_start_xmit path on an already transformed skb,
and if the upper device disappears before the lower txq drains the
workqueue can dereference a stale skb->dev pointer.
The buggy scenario involves two paths, with each column showing the
order within that path:
path A label: netpoll enqueue path path B label: upper-device teardown
1. Stacked xmit calls netpoll 1. Teardown unregisters the upper
with lower np->dev and upper net_device while lower npinfo
skb->dev. stays alive.
2. __netpoll_send_skb() uses 2. netdev_release() runs for the
np->dev->npinfo as the txq upper net_device.
owner.
3. Busy transmit queues the skb 3. The lower txq still owns the
on that lower txq with upper deferred skb.
skb->dev.
4. queue_process() drains the 4. queue_process() dereferences
lower txq and reads skb->dev. that stale upper skb->dev.
Normalize skb->dev to np->dev after loading np->dev from the netpoll
instance, before either the direct transmit path or the fallback enqueue.
This keeps the queued skb in the same device and txq domain as the
netpoll state that owns it.

find_skb() is the netconsole-specific entry into the netpoll skb
pool: every other netpoll consumer (bonding, team, vlan, bridge,
macvlan, dsa) builds its own sk_buff and never touches the pool.
With netpoll_send_udp() (its only caller) now living in netconsole,
find_skb() can join it.
Move find_skb() into drivers/net/netconsole.c as a file-static
helper, drop EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL(find_skb) and remove its prototype
from include/linux/netpoll.h. find_skb() drains TX completions via
netpoll_zap_completion_queue(), which is already exported in the
NETDEV_INTERNAL namespace, so netconsole picks up
MODULE_IMPORT_NS("NETDEV_INTERNAL") to consume it.
The skb pool's lifecycle (np->skb_pool, np->refill_wq, refill_skbs(),
refill_skbs_work_handler(), skb_pool_flush()) stays in netpoll: it
is initialised in __netpoll_setup() and torn down in
__netpoll_cleanup(), both of which remain netpoll's responsibility.
The refill work queued via schedule_work(&np->refill_wq) from the
moved find_skb() runs refill_skbs_work_handler() in netpoll without
any further plumbing.
This is pure code motion: the function body is unchanged and its
sole caller (netpoll_send_udp(), already moved by an earlier patch)
keeps invoking it the same way. Pre-existing concerns about
find_skb() running from NMI/printk context (zap_completion_queue()
re-entry, skb_pool spinlocks, GFP_ATOMIC allocation, fallback skb
sizing vs. MAX_SKB_SIZE, PREEMPT_RT semantics of __kfree_skb()) are
inherited as-is and are not addressed here; they predate this

zap_completion_queue() drains the per-CPU softnet completion queue.
Rename it with the netpoll_ prefix shared by the rest of the
subsystem's public API, and promote it from file-static to
EXPORT_SYMBOL_NS_GPL in the NETDEV_INTERNAL namespace so the upcoming
netconsole-side find_skb() can call it once the function moves out.
A forward declaration is added to include/linux/netpoll.h, and the
old file-static forward declaration is dropped.

It was also the last udp_hdr() consumer in net/core/netpoll.c. The

by the lighter <linux/udp.h>. Swap the include accordingly.

Move netpoll_send_udp() from net/core/netpoll.c into
drivers/net/netconsole.c as a static helper, drop EXPORT_SYMBOL(),
and remove the prototype from include/linux/netpoll.h.
netconsole was the only in-tree caller of this entry point. Every
other netpoll consumer (bonding, team, vlan, bridge, macvlan, dsa)
already builds its own sk_buff and hands it to netpoll_send_skb(),
so the netpoll send-side interface is now skb-only.
The helpers it depends on (find_skb(), push_ipv6(), push_ipv4(),
push_udp(), push_eth(), netpoll_udp_checksum()) were exposed in
the previous patches and stay in net/core/netpoll.c for now.
Subsequent patches move each of them into netconsole one at a time

egress_dev() formats np->dev_mac via snprintf() but receives buf as
a bare char *, so it cannot derive the buffer size from the pointer. The
size argument was hardcoded to MAC_ADDR_STR_LEN (3 * ETH_ALEN - 1 = 17),
which is silly wrong in two ways:
1) misleading kernel log output on the MAC-selected target path
(np->dev_name[0] == '\0'); for example "aa:bb:cc:dd:ee:ff doesn't
exist, aborting" was logged as "aa:bb:cc:dd:ee:f doesn't exist,
aborting".
2) the second argument of snprintf is the size of the buffer, not the
size of what you want to write.
Add a bufsz parameter to egress_dev() and pass sizeof(buf) from each
caller, matching the standard snprintf() idiom and removing the
hardcoded size from the helper.
Every caller already declares "char buf[MAC_ADDR_STR_LEN + 1]" so the
formatted MAC continues to fit.
Tested by booting with
netconsole=6665@/aa:bb:cc:dd:ee:ff,6666@10.0.0.1/00:11:22:33:44:55
on a kernel without a matching device. Pre-fix dmesg shows
"aa:bb:cc:dd:ee:f doesn't exist, aborting"; post-fix shows the full
"aa:bb:cc:dd:ee:ff doesn't exist, aborting".

netpoll_setup() decides whether to auto-populate the local source
address by testing np->local_ip.ip, which only inspects the first 4
bytes of the union inet_addr storage.
For an IPv6 netpoll whose caller-supplied local address has a zero
high-32 bits (::1, ::<suffix>, IPv4-mapped ::ffff:a.b.c.d, etc.), this
misdetects the address as unset (which they are not, but the first
4 bytes are empty), calls netpoll_take_ipv6() and overwrites it with
whatever matching link-local/global address the device happens to expose
first.
Introduce a helper netpoll_local_ip_unset() that picks the correct
family-aware test (ipv6_addr_any() for IPv6, !.ip for IPv4) and use it
from netpoll_setup().
Reproducer is something like:
echo "::2" > local_ip
echo 1 > enabled
cat local_ip
# before this fix: 2001:db8::1 (caller-supplied ::2 was clobbered)
# after this fix: ::2

After acquiring netdev_queue::_xmit_lock the number of the CPU owning
the lock is recorded in netdev_queue::xmit_lock_owner. This works as
long as the BH context is not preemptible.
On PREEMPT_RT the softirq context is preemptible and without the
softirq-lock it is possible to have multiple user in __dev_queue_xmit()
submitting a skb on the same CPU. This is fine in general but this means
also that the current CPU is recorded as netdev_queue::xmit_lock_owner.
This in turn leads to the recursion alert and the skb is dropped.
Instead checking the for CPU number, that owns the lock, PREEMPT_RT can
check if the lockowner matches the current task.
Add netif_tx_owned() which returns true if the current context owns the
lock by comparing the provided CPU number with the recorded number. This
resembles the current check by negating the condition (the current check
returns true if the lock is not owned).
On PREEMPT_RT use rt_mutex_owner() to return the lock owner and compare
the current task against it.
Use the new helper in __dev_queue_xmit() and netif_local_xmit_active()
which provides a similar check.

This was done entirely with mindless brute force, using
git grep -l '\<k[vmz]*alloc_objs*(.*, GFP_KERNEL)' |
xargs sed -i 's/\(alloc_objs*(.*\), GFP_KERNEL)/\1)/'
to convert the new alloc_obj() users that had a simple GFP_KERNEL
argument to just drop that argument.
Note that due to the extreme simplicity of the scripting, any slightly
more complex cases spread over multiple lines would not be triggered:
they definitely exist, but this covers the vast bulk of the cases, and
the resulting diff is also then easier to check automatically.
For the same reason the 'flex' versions will be done as a separate

This is the result of running the Coccinelle script from
scripts/coccinelle/api/kmalloc_objs.cocci. The script is designed to
avoid scalar types (which need careful case-by-case checking), and
instead replace kmalloc-family calls that allocate struct or union
object instances:
Single allocations: kmalloc(sizeof(TYPE), ...)
are replaced with: kmalloc_obj(TYPE, ...)
Array allocations: kmalloc_array(COUNT, sizeof(TYPE), ...)
are replaced with: kmalloc_objs(TYPE, COUNT, ...)
Flex array allocations: kmalloc(struct_size(PTR, FAM, COUNT), ...)
are replaced with: kmalloc_flex(*PTR, FAM, COUNT, ...)
(where TYPE may also be *VAR)
The resulting allocations no longer return "void *", instead returning
"TYPE *".

Prevent a kernel warning when netconsole setup fails on devices with
IFF_DISABLE_NETPOLL flag. The warning (at kernel/workqueue.c:4242 in
__flush_work) occurs because the cleanup path tries to cancel an
uninitialized work queue.
When __netpoll_setup() encounters a device with IFF_DISABLE_NETPOLL,
it fails early and calls skb_pool_flush() for cleanup. This function
calls cancel_work_sync(&np->refill_wq), but refill_wq hasn't been
initialized yet, triggering the warning.
Move INIT_WORK() to the beginning of __netpoll_setup(), ensuring the
work queue is properly initialized before any potential failure points.
This allows the cleanup path to safely cancel the work queue regardless
of where the setup fails.

commit efa95b01da18 ("netpoll: fix use after free") incorrectly
ignored the refcount and prematurely set dev->npinfo to NULL during
netpoll cleanup, leading to improper behavior and memory leaks.
Scenario causing lack of proper cleanup:
1) A netpoll is associated with a NIC (e.g., eth0) and netdev->npinfo is
allocated, and refcnt = 1
- Keep in mind that npinfo is shared among all netpoll instances. In
this case, there is just one.
2) Another netpoll is also associated with the same NIC and
npinfo->refcnt += 1.
- Now dev->npinfo->refcnt = 2;
- There is just one npinfo associated to the netdev.
3) When the first netpolls goes to clean up:
- The first cleanup succeeds and clears np->dev->npinfo, ignoring
refcnt.
- It basically calls `RCU_INIT_POINTER(np->dev->npinfo, NULL);`
- Set dev->npinfo = NULL, without proper cleanup
- No ->ndo_netpoll_cleanup() is either called
4) Now the second target tries to clean up
- The second cleanup fails because np->dev->npinfo is already NULL.
* In this case, ops->ndo_netpoll_cleanup() was never called, and
the skb pool is not cleaned as well (for the second netpoll
instance)
- This leaks npinfo and skbpool skbs, which is clearly reported by
kmemleak.
Revert commit efa95b01da18 ("netpoll: fix use after free") and adds
clarifying comments emphasizing that npinfo cleanup should only happen
once the refcount reaches zero, ensuring stable and correct netpoll
behavior.

Fix a AA deadlock in refill_skbs() where memory allocation while holding
skb_pool->lock can trigger a recursive lock acquisition attempt.
The deadlock scenario occurs when the system is under severe memory
pressure:
1. refill_skbs() acquires skb_pool->lock (spinlock)
2. alloc_skb() is called while holding the lock
3. Memory allocator fails and calls slab_out_of_memory()
4. This triggers printk() for the OOM warning
5. The console output path calls netpoll_send_udp()
6. netpoll_send_udp() attempts to acquire the same skb_pool->lock
7. Deadlock: the lock is already held by the same CPU
Call stack:
refill_skbs()
spin_lock_irqsave(&skb_pool->lock) <- lock acquired
__alloc_skb()
kmem_cache_alloc_node_noprof()
slab_out_of_memory()
printk()
console_flush_all()
netpoll_send_udp()
skb_dequeue()
spin_lock_irqsave(&skb_pool->lock) <- deadlock attempt
This bug was exposed by commit 248f6571fd4c51 ("netpoll: Optimize skb
refilling on critical path") which removed refill_skbs() from the
critical path (where nested printk was being deferred), letting nested
printk being called from inside refill_skbs()
Refactor refill_skbs() to never allocate memory while holding
the spinlock.
Another possible solution to fix this problem is protecting the
refill_skbs() from nested printks, basically calling
printk_deferred_{enter,exit}() in refill_skbs(), then, any nested
pr_warn() would be deferred.
I prefer this approach, given I _think_ it might be a good idea to move
the alloc_skb() from GFP_ATOMIC to GFP_KERNEL in the future, so, having
the alloc_skb() outside of the lock will be necessary step.
There is a possible TOCTOU issue when checking for the pool length, and
queueing the new allocated skb, but, this is not an issue, given that
an extra SKB in the pool is harmless and it will be eventually used.

synchronize_net() is RTNL-aware and will use the more efficient
synchronize_rcu_expedited() when called under RTNL lock, avoiding
the potentially expensive synchronize_rcu() in RTNL critical sections.
Since __netpoll_free() is called with RTNL held (as indicated by
ASSERT_RTNL()), this change improves performance by reducing the

Paolo spotted hangs in NIPA running driver tests against virtio.
The tests hang in virtnet_close() -> virtnet_napi_tx_disable().
The problem is only reproducible if running multiple of our tests
in sequence (I used TEST_PROGS="xdp.py ping.py netcons_basic.sh \
netpoll_basic.py stats.py"). Initial suspicion was that this is
a simple case of double-disable of NAPI, but instrumenting the
code reveals:
Deadlocked on NAPI ffff888007cd82c0 (virtnet_poll_tx):
state: 0x37, disabled: false, owner: 0, listed: false, weight: 64
The NAPI was not in fact disabled, owner is 0 (rather than -1),
so the NAPI "thinks" it's scheduled for CPU 0 but it's not listed
(!list_empty(&n->poll_list) => false). It seems odd that normal NAPI
processing would wedge itself like this.
Better suspicion is that netpoll gets enabled while NAPI is polling,
and also grabs the NAPI instance. This confuses napi_complete_done():
[netpoll] [normal NAPI]
napi_poll()
have = netpoll_poll_lock()
rcu_access_pointer(dev->npinfo)
return NULL # no netpoll
__napi_poll()
->poll(->weight)
poll_napi()
cmpxchg(->poll_owner, -1, cpu)
poll_one_napi()
set_bit(NAPI_STATE_NPSVC, ->state)
napi_complete_done()
if (NAPIF_STATE_NPSVC)
return false
# exit without clearing SCHED
This feels very unlikely, but perhaps virtio has some interactions
with the hypervisor in the NAPI ->poll that makes the race window
larger?
Best I could to to prove the theory was to add and trigger this
warning in napi_poll (just before netpoll_poll_unlock()):
WARN_ONCE(!have && rcu_access_pointer(n->dev->npinfo) &&
napi_is_scheduled(n) && list_empty(&n->poll_list),
"NAPI race with netpoll %px", n);
If this warning hits the next virtio_close() will hang.
This patch survived 30 test iterations without a hang (without it
the longest clean run was around 10). Credit for triggering this
goes to Breno's recent netconsole tests.

Extract the IPv6 address retrieval logic from netpoll_setup() into
a dedicated helper function netpoll_take_ipv6() to improve code
organization and readability.
The function handles obtaining the local IPv6 address from the
network device, including proper address type matching between
local and remote addresses (link-local vs global), and includes
appropriate error handling when IPv6 is not supported or no
suitable address is available.

Move the IPv4 address retrieval logic from netpoll_setup() into a
separate netpoll_take_ipv4() function to improve code organization
and readability. This change consolidates the IPv4-specific logic
and error handling into a dedicated function while maintaining
the same functionality.
No functional changes.
