Subject: [PATCH 11/15] net: optimize napi_threaded_poll() vs RPS/RFS
Date: Wed, 14 Oct 2026 02:02:27 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <d125f9f5c1328c2f4b96e613b4b8ad76837e58dc.1791912669.git.wen.yang@linux.dev> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <cover.1791912669.git.wen.yang@linux.dev>
From: Eric Dumazet <edumazet@google.com>
commit 87eff2ec57b6d68d294013d8dd21e839a1175e3a upstream.
We use napi_threaded_poll() in order to reduce our softirq dependency.
We can add a followup of 821eba962d95 ("net: optimize napi_schedule_rps()")
to further remove the need of firing NET_RX_SOFTIRQ whenever
RPS/RFS are used.
