Subject: [PATCH net v2 1/2] net: napi: add completion with an ordered IRQ mask callback
Date: Sun, 15 Nov 2026 15:12:45 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <tencent_2A5F8EBA9EC78CA99CD080386A68EE90B506@qq.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <tencent_AA4F39DA7ADE330C721C03AAA832B92DD608@qq.com>
napi_complete_done() can clear SCHED, arm the watchdog and return false
when deferring hard IRQs. A false return therefore does not guarantee
that the caller still owns NAPI. Masking interrupts after this return
can overwrite the interrupt state established by a successor poll.
Add napi_complete_done_with_irq_mask() with a mask callback that runs on
false-return paths before ownership can be handed off. The callback
must be non-sleeping, idempotent and leave NAPI state unchanged, since
a state-update retry may invoke it more than once.
Keep napi_complete_done() as a wrapper without a callback, and inline
the shared implementation to eliminate the callback path for existing
callers.
