Subject: [PATCH 4.4 13/20] mlx4: Invoke softirqs after napi_reschedule
Date: Thu, 16 Feb 2017 09:53:43 -0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20170216175300.073894039@linuxfoundation.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20170216175259.514980415@linuxfoundation.org>

4.4-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Benjamin Poirier <bpoirier@suse.com>


[ Upstream commit bd4ce941c8d5b862b2f83364be5dbe8fc8ab48f8 ]

mlx4 may schedule napi from a workqueue. Afterwards, softirqs are not run
in a deterministic time frame and the following message may be logged:
NOHZ: local_softirq_pending 08

The problem is the same as what was described in commit ec13ee80145c
("virtio_net: invoke softirqs after __napi_schedule") and this patch
applies the same fix to mlx4.

Fixes: 07841f9d94c1 ("net/mlx4_en: Schedule napi when RX buffers allocation fails")
