From 83223c8a8a1601f6287b0469d9484984758a8cdb Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Mikulas Patocka Date: Fri, 3 Jul 2009 08:30:10 -0500 Subject: [PATCH] net: NOHZ: local_softirq_pending with tickless commit b6ecb93388d2dea47182a7afe3a4f4de80a6d0e6 in tip. On one of my machines with tickless kernel and plip I get messages : NOHZ: local_softirq_pending 08 always when using plip (on other machine with tickless kernel and plip I get no errors). Thebug happens both on 2.6.21 and 2.6.22-rc1 This patch fixes that. Note that plip calls netif_rx neither from hardware interrupt nor from ksoftirqd, so there is no one who would wake ksoftirqd then. netif_tx calls only __raise_softirq_irqoff(NET_RX_SOFTIRQ), which sets softirq bit, but doesn't wake ksoftirqd. [ tglx: Removed the remaining users of __raise_softirq_irqoff() as well. ] Signed-off-by: Mikulas Patocka Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar Signed-off-by: Thomas Gleixner Signed-off-by: Paul Gortmaker --- net/core/dev.c | 2 +- 1 files changed, 1 insertions(+), 1 deletions(-) diff --git a/net/core/dev.c b/net/core/dev.c index 07b9c01..99ba080 100644 --- a/net/core/dev.c +++ b/net/core/dev.c @@ -3130,7 +3130,7 @@ out: softnet_break: __get_cpu_var(netdev_rx_stat).time_squeeze++; - __raise_softirq_irqoff(NET_RX_SOFTIRQ); + raise_softirq_irqoff(NET_RX_SOFTIRQ); goto out; } -- 1.7.0.4
