[PATCH] virtio_net: enable tx after resuming from suspend

From: Ake Koomsin <hidden>
Date: 2018-10-11 07:53:31

commit 713a98d90c5e ("virtio-net: serialize tx routine during reset")
disabled the virtio tx before going to suspend to avoid a use after free.
However, after resuming, it causes the virtio_net device to lose its
network connectivity.

To solve the issue, we need to enable tx after resuming.

Thank you for your review.

If both netif_tx_wake_all_queues() and netif_start_queue() result in
clearing __QUEUE_STATE_DRV_XOFF, then is it possible that some
conditions in netif_device_attach() is not satisfied? Without
netif_start_queue(), the virtio_net device does not resume properly
after waking up.

Is it better to report this as a bug first? If I am to do more
investigation, what areas should I look into?

Yes, maybe. One case I can see now is when the device is down, in this 
case netif_device_attach() won't try to wakeup the queue.

Nope, you're very welcome to post patch directly.

As you've figured out, you can start with why netif_tx_wake_all_queues() 
were not executed?

(Btw, does the issue disappear if you move netif_tx_disable() under the 
check of netif_running() in virtnet_freeze_down()?)

How do you trigger the issue? Just do suspend/resume?
Yes, simply suspend and resume.

Here is how I trigger the issue:

1) Start the Virtual Machine Manager GUI program.
2) Create a guest Linux OS. Make sure that the guest OS kernel is
   >= 4.12. Make sure that it uses virtio_net as its network device.
   In addition, make sure that the video adapter is VGA. Otherwise,
   waking up with the virtual power button does not work.
3) After installing the guest OS, log in, and test the network
   connectivity by ping the host machine.
4) Suspend. After this, the screen is blank.
5) Resume by hitting the virtual power button. The login screen
   appears again.
6) Log in again. The guest loses its network connection.

In my test:
Guest: Ubuntu 16.04/18.04 with kernel 4.15.0-36-generic
Host: Ubuntu 16.04 with kernel 4.15.0-36-generic/4.4.0-137-generic

The issue disappears if I move netif_tx_disable() under the check of
netif_running() in virtnet_freeze_down(). Moving netif_tx_disable()
is probably better as its logic is consistent with
netif_device_attach() implementation. If you are OK with this idea,
I will submit another patch.

reproduce when virtio-net interface is down in guest before suspend,

I will try with net-next.git and qemu master later and see if I can

I think the it helps for the case when interface is down before suspend.
But it's still unclear why it help even if the interface is up
(netif_running() is true).

Please submit a patch but we should figure out why it help for a up
interface as well.
I will think about the proper reason first.

commit 713a98d90c5e ("virtio-net: serialize tx routine during reset")
disabled the virtio tx before going to suspend to avoid a use after
free.
However, after resuming, it causes the virtio_net device to lose its
network connectivity.

To solve the issue, we need to enable tx after resuming.

Thank you for your review.

If both netif_tx_wake_all_queues() and netif_start_queue() result in
clearing __QUEUE_STATE_DRV_XOFF, then is it possible that some
conditions in netif_device_attach() is not satisfied?
Yes, maybe. One case I can see now is when the device is down, in this
case netif_device_attach() won't try to wakeup the queue.
quoted
    Without
netif_start_queue(), the virtio_net device does not resume properly
after waking up.
How do you trigger the issue? Just do suspend/resume?
Yes, simply suspend and resume.

Here is how I trigger the issue:

1) Start the Virtual Machine Manager GUI program.
2) Create a guest Linux OS. Make sure that the guest OS kernel is
     >= 4.12. Make sure that it uses virtio_net as its network device.
     In addition, make sure that the video adapter is VGA. Otherwise,
     waking up with the virtual power button does not work.
3) After installing the guest OS, log in, and test the network
     connectivity by ping the host machine.
4) Suspend. After this, the screen is blank.
5) Resume by hitting the virtual power button. The login screen
     appears again.
6) Log in again. The guest loses its network connection.

In my test:
Guest: Ubuntu 16.04/18.04 with kernel 4.15.0-36-generic
Host: Ubuntu 16.04 with kernel 4.15.0-36-generic/4.4.0-137-generic
I can not reproduce this issue if virtio-net interface is up in guest
before the suspend. I'm using net-next.git and qemu master. But I do
reproduce when virtio-net interface is down in guest before suspend,
after resume, even if I make it up, the network is still lost.

I think the interface is up in your case, but please confirm this.
If you mean the interface state before I hit the suspend button,
the answer is yes. The interface is up before I suspend the guest
machine.

Note that my current QEMU version is QEMU emulator version 2.5.0
(Debian 1:2.5+dfsg-5ubuntu10.32).

I will try with net-next.git and qemu master later and see if I can
reproduce the issue.
Update. I tried with net-next and qemu master. Interestingly, the result
is different from yours. The network is lost even if the virtio_net
interface is up before suspending.

Host: Ubuntu 16.04 with net-next kernel (default configuration)
Guest: Ubuntu 18.04 with net-next kernel (default configuration)
Qemu: master
Qemu command:
qemu-system-x86_64 -cpu host -m 2048 -enable-kvm \
-bios /usr/share/OVMF/OVMF_CODE.fd \
-drive file=/var/lib/libvirt/images/virtio_test.qcow2,if=virtio \

-global PIIX4_PM.disable_s4=1 -monitor stdio

Interesting, just notice you're using userspace network. To isolate the 
issue, can you retry with e.g tap or e1000 to make sure it's not a fault 
of slirp or virito-net?

Thanks

There is another thing that I want to discuss. I notice that
netif_device_detach() should result in setting __QUEUE_STATE_DRV_XOFF if
the network interface is running. By calling netif_tx_disable() after
netif_device_detach(), isn't it redundant in case of the network
interface is running? If the goal is to serialize tx routine, would
netif_tx_lock() and net_tx_unlock() are more appropriate? Like this:

netif_tx_lock(vi->dev);
netif_device_detach(vi->dev);
netif_tx_unlock(vi->dev);

Currently, netif_tx_disable() seems to disturb the symmetry of
netif_device_detach() and netif_device_attach(). That is the reason
why you can reproduce the problem when the interface is down before
suspending.

[PATCH v2] virtio_net: avoid using netif_tx_disable() for serializing tx routine

From: Ake Koomsin <hidden>
Date: 2018-10-17 08:13:18

Commit 713a98d90c5e ("virtio-net: serialize tx routine during reset")
introduces netif_tx_disable() after netif_device_detach() in order to
avoid use-after-free of tx queues. However, there are two issues.

1) Its operation is redundant with netif_device_detach() if the interface
   is running.
2) In case of the interface is not running before suspending and
   resuming, the tx does not get resumed by netif_device_attach().
   This results in losing network connectivity.

It is better to use netif_tx_lock()/netif_tx_unlock() instead for
serializing tx routine during reset. This also preserves the symmetry
of netif_device_detach() and netif_device_attach().

Re: [PATCH v3] virtio_net: avoid using netif_tx_disable() for serializing tx routine

Commit 713a98d90c5e ("virtio-net: serialize tx routine during reset")
introduces netif_tx_disable() after netif_device_detach() in order to
avoid use-after-free of tx queues. However, there are two issues.

1) Its operation is redundant with netif_device_detach() in case the
   interface is running.
2) In case of the interface is not running before suspending and
   resuming, the tx does not get resumed by netif_device_attach().
   This results in losing network connectivity.

It is better to use netif_tx_lock_bh()/netif_tx_unlock_bh() instead for
serializing tx routine during reset. This also preserves the symmetry
of netif_device_detach() and netif_device_attach().

Thanks a lot for debugging!
Seems like stable material to me, right?

Yes. With this patch, we can avoid network connectivity lost
because of tx not get re-enabled under some situation. Plus, it avoids
redundant operation between netif_device_detach() and
netif_tx_disable().

I tested the patch on Linux net-next and QEMU master by suspending/
resuming the virtual machine repeatedly. The network looks no problem
and has no connectivity lost so far. I tested with both user-mode
networking and tap interface.

Best Regards
