From: Thomas Gleixner Date: Tue, 12 Jul 2011 15:38:34 +0200 Subject: net: Use skbufhead with raw lock Origin: https://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/projects/rt/4.4-rc6-rt1/patches-4.4-rc6-rt1.tar.xz Use the rps lock as rawlock so we can keep irq-off regions. It looks low latency. However we can't kfree() from this context therefore we defer this to the softirq and use the tofree_queue list for it (similar to process_queue).
