This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled net: ntb_netdev: Move ntb_netdev_rx_handler() to call netif_rx() from __netif_rx() to the 6.9-stable tree which can be found at: http://www.kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/stable/stable-queue.git;a=summary The filename of the patch is: net-ntb_netdev-move-ntb_netdev_rx_handler-to-call-ne.patch and it can be found in the queue-6.9 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. commit b883da18c6250e9e071a1ca4ba3afe36f9b2022d Author: Dave Jiang <dave.jiang@xxxxxxxxx> Date: Mon Jul 1 11:15:38 2024 -0700 net: ntb_netdev: Move ntb_netdev_rx_handler() to call netif_rx() from __netif_rx() [ Upstream commit e15a5d821e5192a3769d846079bc9aa380139baf ] The following is emitted when using idxd (DSA) dmanegine as the data mover for ntb_transport that ntb_netdev uses.

However __netif_rx() can only be called from interrupt context. Change the call to netif_rx() in order to allow completion via normal context for dmaengine drivers that utilize threaded irq handling. While the following commit changed from netif_rx() to __netif_rx(), baebdf48c360 ("net: dev: Makes sure netif_rx() can be invoked in any context."), the change should've been a noop instead. However, the code precedes this fix should've been using netif_rx_ni() or netif_rx_any_context().
