Hi! At Netflix we are observing a race in TCP timers with head. The problem is a regression, that doesn't happen on stable/10. The panic usually happens after several hours at 55 Gbit/s of traffic. What happens is that tcp_timer_keep finds t_tcpcb being NULL. Some coredumps have tcpcb already initialized, with non-NULL t_tcpcb and in TCPS_ESTABLISHED state. Which means that other CPU was working on the tcpcb while the faulted one was working on the panic. So, this all looks like a use after free, which conflicts with new allocation. Comparing stable/10 and head, I see two changes that could affect that: - callout_async_drain - switch to READ lock for inp info in tcp timers That's why you are in To, Julien and Hans :) We continue investigating, and I will keep you updated. However, any help is welcome. I can share cores. -- Totus tuus, Glebius.Received on Fri Jun 17 2016 - 02:53:27 UTC
