From bd4ce941c8d5b862b2f83364be5dbe8fc8ab48f8 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Benjamin Poirier Date: Mon, 6 Feb 2017 10:14:31 -0800 Subject: [PATCH] mlx4: Invoke softirqs after napi_reschedule 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") Cc: Eric Dumazet Signed-off-by: Benjamin Poirier Acked-by: Eric Dumazet Reviewed-by: Tariq Toukan Signed-off-by: David S.
