I would say that having hard irqs disabled is a strict requirement, as
per the debugging test in netpoll_send_skb_on_dev():
WARN_ON_ONCE(!irqs_disabled());
If you want to add the same check to netpoll_send_udp(), that's fine.
But what isn't fine is adding all of this conditional locking, we want
->poll_controller() implementations to be able to depend upon the IRQ
environment they execute in, otherwise every single implementation
might need to have ugly conditional locking as well.
