Subject: net: use netif_rx_ni() from process context
X-Git-Url: https://git.karo-electronics.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=91e83133e70ebe1572746d1ad858b4eb28ab9b53;p=linux-beck.git

net: use netif_rx_ni() from process context

Hotpluging a cpu might be rare, yet we have to use proper
handlers when taking over packets found in backlog queues.

dev_cpu_callback() runs from process context, thus we should
call netif_rx_ni() to properly invoke softirq handler.
