    net: provide generic busy polling to all NAPI drivers · 93d05d4a
    Eric Dumazet authored
    NAPI drivers no longer need to observe a particular protocol
    to benefit from busy polling (CONFIG_NET_RX_BUSY_POLL=y)
    
    napi_hash_add() and napi_hash_del() are automatically called
    from core networking stack, respectively from
    netif_napi_add() and netif_napi_del()
    
    This patch depends on free_netdev() and netif_napi_del() being
    called from process context, which seems to be the norm.
    
    Drivers might still prefer to call napi_hash_del() on their
    own, since they might combine all the rcu grace periods into
    a single one, knowing their NAPI structures lifetime, while
    core networking stack has no idea of a possible combining.
    
    Once this patch proves to not bring serious regressions,
    we will cleanup drivers to either remove napi_hash_del()
    or provide appropriate rcu grace periods combining.
