From: Priyanka Jain Date: Thu, 17 May 2012 09:35:11 +0530 Subject: [PATCH 230/353] net: Remove preemption disabling in netif_rx() Origin: https://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/rt/linux-stable-rt.git/commit?id=e78188710318015f790503e2e67d09b0ee2edfcf 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 Signed-off-by: Priyanka Jain Acked-by: Rajan Srivastava Cc: Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1337227511-2271-1-git-send-email-Priyanka.Jain@freescale.com Signed-off-by: Thomas Gleixner --- net/core/dev.c | 8 ++++---- 1 file changed, 4 insertions(+), 4 deletions(-) diff --git a/net/core/dev.c b/net/core/dev.c index 209d15808646..1fb0a5340e94 100644 --- a/net/core/dev.c +++ b/net/core/dev.c @@ -4498,7 +4498,7 @@ static int netif_rx_internal(struct sk_buff *skb) struct rps_dev_flow voidflow, *rflow = &voidflow; int cpu; - preempt_disable(); + migrate_disable(); rcu_read_lock(); cpu = get_rps_cpu(skb->dev, skb, &rflow); @@ -4508,14 +4508,14 @@ static int netif_rx_internal(struct sk_buff *skb) ret = enqueue_to_backlog(skb, cpu, &rflow->last_qtail); rcu_read_unlock(); - preempt_enable(); + migrate_enable(); } else #endif { unsigned int qtail; - ret = enqueue_to_backlog(skb, get_cpu(), &qtail); - put_cpu(); + ret = enqueue_to_backlog(skb, get_cpu_light(), &qtail); + put_cpu_light(); } return ret; }
