====================
Avoid local_irq_save() and use napi_alloc_frag() where possible
The first two patches remove local_irq_save() around
`netdev_alloc_cache' which does not work on -RT. Besides helping -RT it
whould benefit the users of the function since they can avoid disabling
interrupts and save a few cycles.
The remaining patches are from a time when I tried to remove
`netdev_alloc_cache' but then noticed that we still have non-NAPI
drivers using netdev_alloc_skb() and I dropped that idea. Using
napi_alloc_frag() over netdev_alloc_frag() would skip the not required
local_bh_disable() around the allocation.
v1…v2:
- 1/7 + 2/7 use now "(in_irq() || irqs_disabled())" instead just
"irqs_disabled()" to align with __dev_kfree_skb_any(). Pointed out
by Eric Dumazet.
- 6/7 has a typo less. Pointed out by Sergei Shtylyov.
- 3/7 + 4/7 added acks from Ioana Radulescu.

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.
