[PATCH net] net: xilinx: axienet: Schedule NAPI in two steps
Posted by Sean Anderson 2 months, 3 weeks ago 
As advised by Documentation/networking/napi.rst, masking IRQs after
calling napi_schedule can be racy. Avoid this by only masking/scheduling
if napi_schedule_prep returns true. Additionally, since we are running
in an IRQ context we can use the irqoff variant as well.

Fixes: 9e2bc267e780 ("net: axienet: Use NAPI for TX completion path")
Fixes: cc37610caaf8 ("net: axienet: implement NAPI and GRO receive")

The _irqoff variant is a bit of a minefield. It causes issues if kernel
is built with forced IRQ threading. With datacenter NICs forced
threading is never used so we look the other way. Since this is a fix
and driver is embedded I reckon we should stick to __napi_schedule().

Does it?

__napi_schedule_irqoff selects between __napi_schedule and
____napi_schedule based on whether PREEMPT_RT is enabled. Is there some
other way to force IRQ threading?

I think so, IIRC threadirqs= kernel boot option lets you do it.
I don't remember all the details now :( LMK if I'm wrong

Hm, maybe __napi_schedule_irqoff should be updated to take that into
account. I will resend without this change.
