+Subject: [PATCH 230/342] net: Remove preemption disabling in netif_rx()
+Origin: https://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/rt/linux-stable-rt.git/commit?id=857d0eea97c02863c4283d4ece826762ed4ae3f3
+
+1)enqueue_to_backlog() (called from netif_rx) should be
+ bind to a particluar CPU. This can be achieved by
+ disabling migration. No need to disable preemption
+
+2)Fixes crash "BUG: scheduling while atomic: ksoftirqd"
+ in case of RT.
+ If preemption is disabled, enqueue_to_backog() is called
+ in atomic context. And if backlog exceeds its count,
+ kfree_skb() is called. But in RT, kfree_skb() might
+ gets scheduled out, so it expects non atomic context.
+
+3)When CONFIG_PREEMPT_RT_FULL is not defined,
+ migrate_enable(), migrate_disable() maps to
+ preempt_enable() and preempt_disable(), so no
+ change in functionality in case of non-RT.
+
+-Replace preempt_enable(), preempt_disable() with
+ migrate_enable(), migrate_disable() respectively
+-Replace get_cpu(), put_cpu() with get_cpu_light(),
+ put_cpu_light() respectively
