[PATCH net-next 0/4] net: polish skb defer freeing

[Eric Dumazet <eric.dumazet@gmail.com>]

From: Eric Dumazet <edumazet@google.com>

While testing this recently added feature on a variety
of platforms/configurations, I found the following issues:

1) A race leading to concurrent calls to smp_call_function_single_async()

2) Missed opportunity to use napi_consume_skb()

3) Need to limit the max length of the per-cpu lists.

4) Process the per-cpu list more frequently, for the
   (unusual) case where net_rx_action() has mutiple
   napi_poll() to process per round.

Eric Dumazet (4):
  net: fix possible race in skb_attempt_defer_free()
  net: use napi_consume_skb() in skb_defer_free_flush()
  net: add skb_defer_max sysctl
  net: call skb_defer_free_flush() before each napi_poll()
