From 215602a8d21209545923d39b92e9839093b1dcec Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jiafei Pan Date: Mon, 3 Aug 2020 23:10:09 +0300 Subject: [PATCH] enetc: use napi_schedule to be compatible with PREEMPT_RT The driver calls napi_schedule_irqoff() from a context where, in RT, hardirqs are not disabled, since the IRQ handler is force-threaded. In the call path of this function, __raise_softirq_irqoff() is modifying its per-CPU mask of pending softirqs that must be processed, using or_softirq_pending(). The or_softirq_pending() function is not atomic, but since interrupts are supposed to be disabled, nobody should be preempting it, and the operation should be safe. Nonetheless, when running with hardirqs on, as in the PREEMPT_RT case, it isn't safe, and the pending softirqs mask can get corrupted, resulting in softirqs being lost and never processed. To have common code that works with PREEMPT_RT and with mainline Linux, we can use plain napi_schedule() instead. The difference is that napi_schedule() (via __napi_schedule) also calls local_irq_save, which disables hardirqs if they aren't already. But, since they already are disabled in non-RT, this means that in practice we don't see any measurable difference in throughput or latency with this patch.
