static void skb_splice_csum_page(struct sk_buff *skb, struct page *page,
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.
