Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.

The interrupt service routine registered for the gadget is a primary handler which mask the interrupt source and a threaded handler which handles the source of the interrupt. Since the threaded handler is voluntary threaded, the IRQ-core does not disable bottom halves before invoke the handler like it does for the forced-threaded handler. Due to changes in networking it became visible that a network gadget's completions handler may schedule a softirq which remains unprocessed. The gadget's completion handler is usually invoked either in hard-IRQ or soft-IRQ context. In this context it is enough to just raise the softirq because the softirq itself will be handled once that context is left. In the case of the voluntary threaded handler, there is nothing that will process pending softirqs. Which means it remain queued until another random interrupt (on this CPU) fires and handles it on its exit path or another thread locks and unlocks a lock with the bh suffix. Worst case is that the CPU goes idle and the NOHZ complains about unhandled softirqs. Disable bottom halves before acquiring the lock (and disabling interrupts) and enable them after dropping the lock. This ensures that any pending softirqs will handled right away.
