idpf: disable local BH when scheduling napi for marker packets
[ Upstream commit 330068589389ccae3452db15ecacc3e147ac9c1c ]
Fix softirq's not being handled during napi_schedule() call when
receiving marker packets for queue disable by disabling local bottom
half.
The issue can be seen on ifdown:
NOHZ tick-stop error: Non-RCU local softirq work is pending, handler #08!!!
Using ftrace to catch the failing scenario:
ifconfig [003] d.... 22739.830624: softirq_raise: vec=3 [action=NET_RX]
<idle>-0 [003] ..s.. 22739.831357: softirq_entry: vec=3 [action=NET_RX]
No interrupt and CPU is idle.
After the patch when disabling local BH before calling napi_schedule:
ifconfig [003] d.... 22993.928336: softirq_raise: vec=3 [action=NET_RX]
ifconfig [003] ..s1. 22993.928337: softirq_entry: vec=3 [action=NET_RX]
