The original patch bringed in the "SCTP ACK tracking trace event"
feature was committed at Dec.20, 2017, it replaced jprobe usage
with trace events, and bringed in two trace events, one is
TRACE_EVENT(sctp_probe), another one is TRACE_EVENT(sctp_probe_path).
The original patch intended to trigger the trace_sctp_probe_path in
TRACE_EVENT(sctp_probe) as below code,
+TRACE_EVENT(sctp_probe,
+
+ TP_PROTO(const struct sctp_endpoint *ep,
+ const struct sctp_association *asoc,
+ struct sctp_chunk *chunk),
+
+ TP_ARGS(ep, asoc, chunk),
+
+ TP_STRUCT__entry(
+ __field(__u64, asoc)
+ __field(__u32, mark)
+ __field(__u16, bind_port)
+ __field(__u16, peer_port)
+ __field(__u32, pathmtu)
+ __field(__u32, rwnd)
+ __field(__u16, unack_data)
+ ),
+
+ TP_fast_assign(
+ struct sk_buff *skb = chunk->skb;
+
+ __entry->asoc = (unsigned long)asoc;
+ __entry->mark = skb->mark;
+ __entry->bind_port = ep->base.bind_addr.port;
+ __entry->peer_port = asoc->peer.port;
+ __entry->pathmtu = asoc->pathmtu;
+ __entry->rwnd = asoc->peer.rwnd;
+ __entry->unack_data = asoc->unack_data;
+
+ if (trace_sctp_probe_path_enabled()) {
+ struct sctp_transport *sp;
+
+ list_for_each_entry(sp, &asoc->peer.transport_addr_list,
+ transports) {
+ trace_sctp_probe_path(sp, asoc);
+ }
+ }
+ ),
But I found it did not work when I did testing, and trace_sctp_probe_path
had no output, I finally found that there is trace buffer lock
operation(trace_event_buffer_reserve) in include/trace/trace_events.h:
static notrace void \
trace_event_raw_event_##call(void *__data, proto) \
{ \
struct trace_event_file *trace_file = __data; \
struct trace_event_data_offsets_##call __maybe_unused __data_offsets;\
struct trace_event_buffer fbuffer; \
struct trace_event_raw_##call *entry; \
int __data_size; \
\
if (trace_trigger_soft_disabled(trace_file)) \
return; \
\
__data_size = trace_event_get_offsets_##call(&__data_offsets, args); \
\
entry = trace_event_buffer_reserve(&fbuffer, trace_file, \
sizeof(*entry) + __data_size); \
\
if (!entry) \
return; \
\
tstruct \
\
{ assign; } \
\
trace_event_buffer_commit(&fbuffer); \
}
The reason caused no output of trace_sctp_probe_path is that
trace_sctp_probe_path written in TP_fast_assign part of
TRACE_EVENT(sctp_probe), and it will be placed( { assign; } ) after the
trace_event_buffer_reserve() when compiler expands Macro,
entry = trace_event_buffer_reserve(&fbuffer, trace_file, \
sizeof(*entry) + __data_size); \
\
if (!entry) \
return; \
\
tstruct \
\
{ assign; } \
so trace_sctp_probe_path finally can not acquire trace_event_buffer
and return no output, that is to say the nest of tracepoint entry function
is not allowed. The function call flow is:
trace_sctp_probe()
-> trace_event_raw_event_sctp_probe()
-> lock buffer
-> trace_sctp_probe_path()
-> trace_event_raw_event_sctp_probe_path() --nested
-> buffer has been locked and return no output.
This patch is to remove trace_sctp_probe_path from the TP_fast_assign
part of TRACE_EVENT(sctp_probe) to avoid the nest of entry function,
and trigger sctp_probe_path_trace in sctp_outq_sack.
After this patch, you can enable both events individually,
# cd /sys/kernel/debug/tracing
# echo 1 > events/sctp/sctp_probe/enable
# echo 1 > events/sctp/sctp_probe_path/enable
Or, you can enable all the events under sctp.
# echo 1 > events/sctp/enable

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
