The non-NAPI driver use the CPU local backlog NAPI. If RPS is enabled then a flow for the skb is computed and based on the flow the skb can be enqueued on a remote CPU. Scheduling/ raising the softirq (for backlog's NAPI) on the remote CPU isn't trivial because the softirq is only scheduled on the local CPU and performed after the hardirq is done. In order to schedule a softirq on the remote CPU, an IPI is sent to the remote CPU which schedules the backlog-NAPI on the then local CPU. On PREEMPT_RT interrupts are force-threaded. The soft interrupts are raised within the interrupt thread and processed after the interrupt handler completed still within the context of the interrupt thread. The softirq is handled in the context where it originated. With force-threaded interrupts enabled, ksoftirqd is woken up if a softirq is raised from hardirq context. This is the case if it is raised from an IPI. Additionally there is a warning on PREEMPT_RT if the softirq is raised from the idle thread. This was done for two reasons: - With threaded interrupts the processing should happen in thread context (where it originated) and ksoftirqd is the only thread for this context if raised from hardirq. Using the currently running task instead would "punish" a random task. - Once ksoftirqd is active it consumes all further softirqs until it stops running. This changed recently and is no longer the case. Instead of keeping the backlog NAPI in ksoftirqd (in force-threaded/ PREEMPT_RT setups) I am proposing NAPI-threads for backlog. The "proper" setup with threaded-NAPI is not doable because the threads are not pinned to an individual CPU and can be modified by the user. Additionally a dummy network device would have to be assigned. Also CPU-hotplug has to be considered if additional CPUs show up. All this can be probably done/ solved but the smpboot-threads already provide this infrastructure. Create NAPI-threads for backlog. The thread runs the inner loop from napi_threaded_poll(), the wait part is different. Since there are now per-CPU threads for backlog the remote IPI for signaling is not needed and can be removed. The NAPI for backlog can always be scheduled as it ends in waking the corresponding thread. Since "deferred skb free" use a similar IPI mechanism for signaling, it is also using the backlog threads. This makes NAPI threads mandatory for backlog and it can not be disabled. The other visibile part with RPS (or backlog usage in general) is that it becomes now visible in `top' while earlier it would remain unaccounted.

On PREEMPT_RT this means softirqs, which were raised in a threaded interrupt (at elevated process priority), would not be served after the interrupt handler completed its work but will wait until ksoftirqd (normal priority) becomes running on the CPU. On a busy system with plenty of RT tasks this could be delayed for quite some time and leads to problems in general. This is an undesired situation and it has been attempted to avoid the situation in which ksoftirqd becomes scheduled. This changed since commit d15121be74856 ("Revert "softirq: Let ksoftirqd do its job"") and now a threaded interrupt handler will handle soft interrupts at its end even if ksoftirqd is pending. That means that they will be processed in the context in which they were raised. Unfortunately also all other soft interrupts which were raised (or enqueued) earlier and are not yet handled. This happens if a thread with higher priority is raised and has to catch up. This isn't a new problem and the new high priority thread will PI-boost the current sofitrq owner or start from scratch if ksoftirqd wasn't running yet. Since pending ksoftirqd no longer blocks other interrupt threads from handling soft interrupts I belive the warning can be disabled. The pending softirq work has to be solved differently. Remove the warning and update the comment.
