Subject: [PATCH] net/core: use local_bh_disable() in netif_rx_ni()
|
|
Origin: https://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/projects/rt/4.19/older/patches-4.19.1-rt3.tar.xz
|
|
|
|
In 2004 netif_rx_ni() gained a preempt_disable() section around
|
|
netif_rx() and its do_softirq() + testing for it. The do_softirq() part
|
|
is required because netif_rx() raises the softirq but does not invoke
|
|
it. The preempt_disable() is required to remain on the same CPU which added the
|
|
skb to the per-CPU list.
|
|
All this can be avoided be putting this into a local_bh_disable()ed
|
|
section. The local_bh_enable() part will invoke do_softirq() if
|
|
required.
