From: Sebastian Andrzej Siewior Date: Sat, 27 May 2017 19:02:06 +0200 Subject: net/core: disable NET_RX_BUSY_POLL Origin: https://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/projects/rt/4.19/older/patches-4.19.8-rt6.tar.xz sk_busy_loop() does preempt_disable() followed by a few operations which can take sleeping locks and may get long. I _think_ that we could use preempt_disable_nort() (in sk_busy_loop()) instead but after a successfull cmpxchg(&napi->state, …) we would gain the ressource and could be scheduled out. At this point nobody knows who (which context) owns it and so it could take a while until the state is realeased and napi_poll() could be invoked again.
