From 8380c81d5c4fced6f4397795a5ae65758272bbfd Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Sebastian Andrzej Siewior Date: Wed, 12 May 2021 23:43:24 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] net: Treat __napi_schedule_irqoff() as __napi_schedule() on PREEMPT_RT __napi_schedule_irqoff() is an optimized version of __napi_schedule() which can be used where it is known that interrupts are disabled, e.g. in interrupt-handlers, spin_lock_irq() sections or hrtimer callbacks. On PREEMPT_RT enabled kernels this assumptions is not true. Force- threaded interrupt handlers and spinlocks are not disabling interrupts and the NAPI hrtimer callback is forced into softirq context which runs with interrupts enabled as well. Chasing all usage sites of __napi_schedule_irqoff() is a whack-a-mole game so make __napi_schedule_irqoff() invoke __napi_schedule() for PREEMPT_RT kernels. The callers of ____napi_schedule() in the networking core have been audited and are correct on PREEMPT_RT kernels as well.
