[PATCH 1/2] net: Assert proper context while calling napi_schedule()

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



napi_schedule() is expected to be called either:

* From an interrupt, where raised softirqs are handled on IRQ exit

* From a softirq disabled section, where raised softirqs are handled on
  the next call to local_bh_enable().

* From a softirq handler, where raised softirqs are handled on the next
  round in do_softirq(), or further deferred to a dedicated kthread.

Other bare tasks context may end up ignoring the raised NET_RX vector
until the next random softirq handling opportunity, which may not
happen before a while if the CPU goes idle afterwards with the tick
stopped.

Report inappropriate calling contexts when neither of the three above
conditions are met.
