The above assumes that sockets are added to a fanout group in the order in which they are created. That is a reasonable assumption, though not strictly required. This can be worked around in userspace by inserting in the inverse order. Still, good to fix. It does change the order of output of proc and diag, which is an unfortunately side effect. But insertion order is less surprising and I don't see a simple option to only traverse the sklist in inverse order on packet_notifier NETDEV_UP (which would avoid this). > This commit introduces a helper to add a socket at the tail of a list, > then uses it to register AF_PACKET sockets. > > Fixes: 808f5114a920 ("packet: convert socket list to RCU (v3)") Before this patch, insertion with sk_add_node is also at the head. This does not seem like the right commit?

Clearly the solution proposed by this patch has side-effects, and as you said I don't see an easy way to do that in another manner. >> This commit introduces a helper to add a socket at the tail of a list, >> then uses it to register AF_PACKET sockets. >> >> Fixes: 808f5114a920 ("packet: convert socket list to RCU (v3)") > >Before this patch, insertion with sk_add_node is also at the head. >This does not seem like the right commit?

Since current behavior can split packets of the same flow across multiple sockets, even for fanout_demux_hash, I think this warrants net. Then the Fixes tag would be dc99f600698d ("packet: Add fanout support."). Please mention the reordering of proc and diag output in the commit message. Thanks

When using fanouts with AF_PACKET, the demux functions such as fanout_demux_cpu will return an index in the fanout socket array, which corresponds to the selected socket. The ordering of this array depends on the order the sockets were added to a given fanout group, so for FANOUT_CPU this means sockets are bound to cpus in the order they are configured, which is OK. However, when stopping then restarting the interface these sockets are bound to, the sockets are reassigned to the fanout group in the reverse order, due to the fact that they were inserted at the head of the interface's AF_PACKET socket list. This means that traffic that was directed to the first socket in the fanout group is now directed to the last one after an interface restart. In the case of FANOUT_CPU, traffic from CPU0 will be directed to the socket that used to receive traffic from the last CPU after an interface restart. This commit introduces a helper to add a socket at the tail of a list, then uses it to register AF_PACKET sockets. Fixes: 808f5114a920 ("packet: convert socket list to RCU (v3)") Signed-off-by: Maxime Chevallier <maxime.chevallier@bootlin.com> --- Hi All, I stumbled upon this issue when using FANOUT_CPU and came-up with this patch, but I'm not sure that (a) this is really a bug (although this behaviour is at least misleading) and (b) this is the correct fix, so any input on this is welcome. Also David, I'm not sure about the Fixes tag, from what I see, this behaviour has always been there.
