Message-ID: <1423177094.31870.93.camel@edumazet-glaptop2.roam.corp.google.com> Date: Thu, 05 Feb 2015 14:58:14 -0800 From: Eric Dumazet <eric.dumazet@...il.com> To: David Miller <davem@...emloft.net> Cc: netdev <netdev@...r.kernel.org> Subject: [PATCH net] net: use netif_rx_ni() from process context From: Eric Dumazet <edumazet@...gle.com> Hotpluging a cpu might be rare, yet we have to use proper handlers when taking over packets found in backlog queues. dev_cpu_callback() runs from process context, thus we should call netif_rx_ni() to properly invoke softirq handler.
