Subject: [PATCH 124/342] softirq: split timer softirqs out of ksoftirqd
Origin: https://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/rt/linux-stable-rt.git/commit?id=df12f0ccfce0f4ac8542c56f719e8f2f71a65f2a
The softirqd runs in -RT with SCHED_FIFO (prio 1) and deals mostly with
timer wakeup which can not happen in hardirq context. The prio has been
risen from the normal SCHED_OTHER so the timer wakeup does not happen
too late.
With enough networking load it is possible that the system never goes
idle and schedules ksoftirqd and everything else with a higher priority.
One of the tasks left behind is one of RCU's threads and so we see stalls
and eventually run out of memory.
This patch moves the TIMER and HRTIMER softirqs out of the `ksoftirqd`
thread into its own `ktimersoftd`. The former can now run SCHED_OTHER
(same as mainline) and the latter at SCHED_FIFO due to the wakeups.
From networking point of view: The NAPI callback runs after the network
interrupt thread completes. If its run time takes too long the NAPI code
itself schedules the `ksoftirqd`. Here in the thread it can run at
SCHED_OTHER priority and it won't defer RCU anymore.
