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.

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.
