Jason Wang 23e43f07f8 tuntap: disable preemption during XDP processing
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.

Linux kernel
============

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
