generic: 6.6: replace (broken) downstream patch with upstream solution
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
Our downstream patch "net/core: add optional threading for backlog processing"
has been broken with the switch to Linux 6.6.
Replace it by backporting the now available upstream solution.

Subject: [PATCH 1/4] net: Remove conditional threaded-NAPI wakeup based on
task state.

A NAPI thread is scheduled by first setting NAPI_STATE_SCHED bit. If
successful (the bit was not yet set) then the NAPI_STATE_SCHED_THREADED
is set but only if thread's state is not TASK_INTERRUPTIBLE (is
TASK_RUNNING) followed by task wakeup.

If the task is idle (TASK_INTERRUPTIBLE) then the
NAPI_STATE_SCHED_THREADED bit is not set. The thread is no relying on
the bit but always leaving the wait-loop after returning from schedule()
because there must have been a wakeup.

The smpboot-threads implementation for per-CPU threads requires an
explicit condition and does not support "if we get out of schedule()
then there must be something to do".

Removing this optimisation simplifies the following integration.

Set NAPI_STATE_SCHED_THREADED unconditionally on wakeup and rely on it
in the wait path by removing the `woken' condition.
