+Subject: [PATCH 08/15] net: softnet_data: Make xmit per task.
+Origin: https://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/projects/rt/6.10/older/patches-6.10.2-rt14.tar.xz
+
+Softirq is preemptible on PREEMPT_RT. Without a per-CPU lock in
+local_bh_disable() there is no guarantee that only one device is
+transmitting at a time.
+With preemption and multiple senders it is possible that the per-CPU
+`recursion' counter gets incremented by different threads and exceeds
+XMIT_RECURSION_LIMIT leading to a false positive recursion alert.
+The `more' member is subject to similar problems if set by one thread
+for one driver and wrongly used by another driver within another thread.
+
+Instead of adding a lock to protect the per-CPU variable it is simpler
+to make xmit per-task. Sending and receiving skbs happens always
+in thread context anyway.
+
+Having a lock to protected the per-CPU counter would block/ serialize two
+sending threads needlessly. It would also require a recursive lock to
+ensure that the owner can increment the counter further.
+
+Make the softnet_data.xmit a task_struct member on PREEMPT_RT. Add
+needed wrapper.
