napi_schedule() is expected to be called either: * From an interrupt, where raised softirqs are handled on IRQ exit * From a softirq disabled section, where raised softirqs are handled on the next call to local_bh_enable(). * From a softirq handler, where raised softirqs are handled on the next round in do_softirq(), or further deferred to a dedicated kthread. Other bare tasks context may end up ignoring the raised NET_RX vector until the next random softirq handling opportunity, which may not happen before a while if the CPU goes idle afterwards with the tick stopped. Such "misuses" have been detected on several places thanks to messages of the kind: "NOHZ tick-stop error: local softirq work is pending, handler #08!!!" For example: __raise_softirq_irqoff __napi_schedule rtl8152_runtime_resume.isra.0 rtl8152_resume usb_resume_interface.isra.0 usb_resume_both __rpm_callback rpm_callback rpm_resume __pm_runtime_resume usb_autoresume_device usb_remote_wakeup hub_event process_one_work worker_thread kthread ret_from_fork ret_from_fork_asm And also: * drivers/net/usb/r8152.c::rtl_work_func_t * drivers/net/netdevsim/netdev.c::nsim_start_xmit There is a long history of issues of this kind: 019edd01d174 ("ath10k: sdio: Add missing BH locking around napi_schdule()") 330068589389 ("idpf: disable local BH when scheduling napi for marker packets") e3d5d70cb483 ("net: lan78xx: fix "softirq work is pending" error") e55c27ed9ccf ("mt76: mt7615: add missing bh-disable around rx napi schedule") c0182aa98570 ("mt76: mt7915: add missing bh-disable around tx napi enable/schedule") 970be1dff26d ("mt76: disable BH around napi_schedule() calls") 019edd01d174 ("ath10k: sdio: Add missing BH locking around napi_schdule()") 30bfec4fec59 ("can: rx-offload: can_rx_offload_threaded_irq_finish(): add new function to be called from threaded interrupt") e63052a5dd3c ("mlx5e: add add missing BH locking around napi_schdule()") 83a0c6e58901 ("i40e: Invoke softirqs after napi_reschedule") bd4ce941c8d5 ("mlx4: Invoke softirqs after napi_reschedule") 8cf699ec849f ("mlx4: do not call napi_schedule() without care") ec13ee80145c ("virtio_net: invoke softirqs after __napi_schedule") This shows that relying on the caller to arrange a proper context for the softirqs to be handled while calling napi_schedule() is very fragile and error prone. Also fixing them can also prove challenging if the caller may be called from different kinds of contexts. Therefore fix this from napi_schedule() itself with waking up ksoftirqd when softirqs are raised from task contexts.
