Linux kernel source tree

The defer_list is a per-CPU list which is used to free skbs outside of the socket lock and on the CPU on which they have been allocated. The list is processed during NAPI callbacks so ideally the list is cleaned up. Should the amount of skbs on the list exceed a certain water mark then the softirq is triggered remotely on the target CPU by invoking a remote function call. The raise of the softirqs via a remote function call leads to waking the ksoftirqd on PREEMPT_RT which is undesired. The backlog-NAPI threads already provide the infrastructure which can be utilized to perform the cleanup of the defer_list. The NAPI state is updated with the input_pkt_queue.lock acquired. It order not to break the state, it is needed to also wake the backlog-NAPI thread with the lock held. This requires to acquire the use the lock in rps_lock_irq*() if the backlog-NAPI threads are used even with RPS disabled. Move the logic of remotely starting softirqs to clean up the defer_list into kick_defer_list_purge(). Make sure a lock is held in rps_lock_irq*() if backlog-NAPI threads are used. Schedule backlog-NAPI for defer_list cleanup if backlog-NAPI is available.

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.
