Linux kernel source tree

netpoll tries to refill the skb queue on every packet send, independently if packets are being consumed from the pool or not. This was particularly problematic while being called from printk(), where the operation would be done while holding the console lock. Introduce a more intelligent approach to skb queue management. Instead of constantly attempting to refill the queue, the system now defers refilling to a work queue and only triggers the workqueue when a buffer is actually dequeued. This change significantly reduces operations with the lock held. Add a work_struct to the netpoll structure for asynchronous refilling, updating find_skb() to schedule refill work only when necessary (skb is dequeued). These changes have demonstrated a 15% reduction in time spent during netpoll_send_msg operations, especially when no SKBs are not consumed from consumed from pool. When SKBs are being dequeued, the improvement is even better, around 70%, mainly because refilling the SKB pool is now happening outside of the critical patch (with console_owner lock held).

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
