Subject: [PATCH] net: Have __napi_schedule_irqoff() disable interrupts on
RT
Origin: https://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/projects/rt/5.0/older/patches-5.0.10-rt7.tar.xz
A customer hit a crash where the napi sd->poll_list became corrupted.
The customer had the bnx2x driver, which does a
__napi_schedule_irqoff() in its interrupt handler. Unfortunately, when
running with CONFIG_PREEMPT_RT_FULL, this interrupt handler is run as a
thread and is preemptable. The call to ____napi_schedule() must be done
with interrupts disabled to protect the per cpu softnet_data's
"poll_list, which is protected by disabling interrupts (disabling
preemption is enough when all interrupts are threaded and
local_bh_disable() can't preempt)."
As bnx2x isn't the only driver that does this, the safest thing to do
is to make __napi_schedule_irqoff() call __napi_schedule() instead when
CONFIG_PREEMPT_RT_FULL is enabled, which will call local_irq_save()
before calling ____napi_schedule().
