Subject: [PATCH 40/49] tuntap: disable preemption during XDP processing

From: Jason Wang <[email-masked]>
Date: Sat, 24 Feb 2018 11:32:25 +0800

[ Upstream commit 23e43f07f896f8578318cfcc9466f1e8b8ab21b6 ]

Except for tuntap, all other drivers' XDP was implemented at NAPI
poll() routine in a bh. This guarantees all XDP operation were done at
the same CPU which is required by e.g BFP_MAP_TYPE_PERCPU_ARRAY. But
for tuntap, we do it in process context and we try to protect XDP
processing by RCU reader lock. This is insufficient since
CONFIG_PREEMPT_RCU can preempt the RCU reader critical section which
breaks the assumption that all XDP were processed in the same CPU.

Fixing this by simply disabling preemption during XDP processing.

Fixes: 761876c857cb ("tap: XDP support")
