From: Ong Boon Leong <boon.leong.ong@xxxxxxxxx> [ Upstream commit 622d13694b5f048c01caa7ba548498d9880d4cb0 ] xdp_return_frame() may be called outside of NAPI context to return xdpf back to page_pool. xdp_return_frame() calls __xdp_return() with napi_direct = false. For page_pool memory model, __xdp_return() calls xdp_return_frame_no_direct() unconditionally and below false negative kernel BUG throw happened under preempt-rt build: [ 430.450355] BUG: using smp_processor_id() in preemptible [00000000] code: modprobe/3884 [ 430.451678] caller is __xdp_return+0x1ff/0x2e0 [ 430.452111] CPU: 0 PID: 3884 Comm: modprobe Tainted: G U E 5.12.0-rc2+ #45 Changes in v2: - This patch fixes the issue by making xdp_return_frame_no_direct() is only called if napi_direct = true, as recommended for better by Jesper Dangaard Brouer.
