3.18.27-rt27-rc1 stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Sebastian Andrzej Siewior A softirq on -RT can be preempted. That means one task is in __dev_queue_xmit(), gets preempted and another task may enter __dev_queue_xmit() aw well. netperf together with a bridge device will then trigger the `recursion alert` because each task increments the xmit_recursion variable which is per-CPU. A virtual device like br0 is required to trigger this warning. This patch moves the counter to per task instead per-CPU so it counts the recursion properly on -RT.
