[PATCH net-next 04/24] net: Use nested-BH locking for napi_alloc_cache.

From: Sebastian Andrzej Siewior
Date: Fri Dec 15 2023 - 12:11:35 EST


napi_alloc_cache is a per-CPU variable and relies on disabled BH for its
locking. Without per-CPU locking in local_bh_disable() on PREEMPT_RT
this data structure requires explicit locking.

Add a local_lock_t to the data structure and use local_lock_nested_bh()
for locking. This change adds only lockdep coverage and does not alter
the functional behaviour for !PREEMPT_RT.
