Currently arm64 supports per-CPU IRQ stack, but softirqs
are still handled in the task context.

Since any call to local_bh_enable() at any level in the task's
call stack may trigger a softirq processing run, which could
potentially cause a task stack overflow if the combined stack
footprints exceed the stack's size, let's run these softirqs
on the IRQ stack as well.

Hi Will,

Are we good to merge this patch? Or if there is anything else I need to
do, please let me know. :)

I'm expecting Catalin to pick this one up for 6.1.

Oh, I see. Looking forward to this.

Thanks a lot.
Qi
