[PATCH net-next v2 1/2] lockdep: Introduce in_softirq lockdep assert

From: Yunsheng Lin
Date: Fri Nov 20 2020 - 22:10:44 EST


The current semantic for napi_consume_skb() is that caller need
to provide non-zero budget when calling from NAPI context, and
breaking this semantic will cause hard to debug problem, because
_kfree_skb_defer() need to run in atomic context in order to push
the skb to the particular cpu' napi_alloc_cache atomically.

So add the lockdep_assert_in_softirq() to assert when the running
context is not in_softirq, in_softirq means softirq is serving or
BH is disabled. Because the softirq context can be interrupted by
hard IRQ or NMI context, so lockdep_assert_in_softirq() need to
assert about hard IRQ or NMI context too.
