From mboxrd@z Thu Jan 1 00:00:00 1970 From: Sebastian Andrzej Siewior Subject: [PATCH 1/2] net/core: use local_bh_disable() in netif_rx_ni() Date: Fri, 16 Jun 2017 19:23:59 +0200 Message-ID: <20170616172400.10809-1-bigeasy@linutronix.de> Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable Cc: netdev@vger.kernel.org, "David S. Miller" , Thomas Gleixner , Sebastian Andrzej Siewior To: Eric Dumazet Return-path: Received: from Galois.linutronix.de ([146.0.238.70]:56426 "EHLO Galois.linutronix.de" rhost-flags-OK-OK-OK-OK) by vger.kernel.org with ESMTP id S1750827AbdFPRYF (ORCPT ); Fri, 16 Jun 2017 13:24:05 -0400 Sender: netdev-owner@vger.kernel.org List-ID: In 2004 [0] 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 avoid running the BH in parallel. 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.
