Subject: [PATCH 201/264] net: dev: always take qdisc's busylock in
|
|
__dev_xmit_skb()
|
|
Origin: https://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/projects/rt/4.19/older/patches-4.19.37-rt19.tar.xz
|
|
|
|
The root-lock is dropped before dev_hard_start_xmit() is invoked and after
|
|
setting the __QDISC___STATE_RUNNING bit. If this task is now pushed away
|
|
by a task with a higher priority then the task with the higher priority
|
|
won't be able to submit packets to the NIC directly instead they will be
|
|
enqueued into the Qdisc. The NIC will remain idle until the task(s) with
|
|
higher priority leave the CPU and the task with lower priority gets back
|
|
and finishes the job.
|
|
|
|
If we take always the busylock we ensure that the RT task can boost the
|
|
low-prio task and submit the packet.
|
