    generic: 6.6: replace (broken) downstream patch with upstream solution
    
    Our downstream patch "net/core: add optional threading for backlog processing"
    has been broken with the switch to Linux 6.6.
    Replace it by backporting the now available upstream solution.

+Subject: [PATCH 1/4] net: Remove conditional threaded-NAPI wakeup based on
+ task state.
+
+A NAPI thread is scheduled by first setting NAPI_STATE_SCHED bit. If
+successful (the bit was not yet set) then the NAPI_STATE_SCHED_THREADED
+is set but only if thread's state is not TASK_INTERRUPTIBLE (is
+TASK_RUNNING) followed by task wakeup.
+
+If the task is idle (TASK_INTERRUPTIBLE) then the
+NAPI_STATE_SCHED_THREADED bit is not set. The thread is no relying on
+the bit but always leaving the wait-loop after returning from schedule()
+because there must have been a wakeup.
+
+The smpboot-threads implementation for per-CPU threads requires an
+explicit condition and does not support "if we get out of schedule()
+then there must be something to do".
+
+Removing this optimisation simplifies the following integration.
+
+Set NAPI_STATE_SCHED_THREADED unconditionally on wakeup and rely on it
+in the wait path by removing the `woken' condition.

+Subject: [PATCH 2/4] net: Allow to use SMP threads for backlog NAPI.
+
+Backlog NAPI is a per-CPU NAPI struct only (with no device behind it)
+used by drivers which don't do NAPI them self, RPS and parts of the
+stack which need to avoid recursive deadlocks while processing a packet.
+
+The non-NAPI driver use the CPU local backlog NAPI. If RPS is enabled
+then a flow for the skb is computed and based on the flow the skb can be
+enqueued on a remote CPU. Scheduling/ raising the softirq (for backlog's
+NAPI) on the remote CPU isn't trivial because the softirq is only
+scheduled on the local CPU and performed after the hardirq is done.
+In order to schedule a softirq on the remote CPU, an IPI is sent to the
+remote CPU which schedules the backlog-NAPI on the then local CPU.
+
+On PREEMPT_RT interrupts are force-threaded. The soft interrupts are
+raised within the interrupt thread and processed after the interrupt
+handler completed still within the context of the interrupt thread. The
+softirq is handled in the context where it originated.
+
+With force-threaded interrupts enabled, ksoftirqd is woken up if a
+softirq is raised from hardirq context. This is the case if it is raised
+from an IPI. Additionally there is a warning on PREEMPT_RT if the
+softirq is raised from the idle thread.
+This was done for two reasons:
+- With threaded interrupts the processing should happen in thread
+  context (where it originated) and ksoftirqd is the only thread for
+  this context if raised from hardirq. Using the currently running task
+  instead would "punish" a random task.
+- Once ksoftirqd is active it consumes all further softirqs until it
+  stops running. This changed recently and is no longer the case.
+
+Instead of keeping the backlog NAPI in ksoftirqd (in force-threaded/
+PREEMPT_RT setups) I am proposing NAPI-threads for backlog.
+The "proper" setup with threaded-NAPI is not doable because the threads
+are not pinned to an individual CPU and can be modified by the user.
+Additionally a dummy network device would have to be assigned. Also
+CPU-hotplug has to be considered if additional CPUs show up.
+All this can be probably done/ solved but the smpboot-threads already
+provide this infrastructure.
+
+Sending UDP packets over loopback expects that the packet is processed
+within the call. Delaying it by handing it over to the thread hurts
+performance. It is not beneficial to the outcome if the context switch
+happens immediately after enqueue or after a while to process a few
+packets in a batch.
+There is no need to always use the thread if the backlog NAPI is
+requested on the local CPU. This restores the loopback throuput. The
+performance drops mostly to the same value after enabling RPS on the
+loopback comparing the IPI and the tread result.
+
+Create NAPI-threads for backlog if request during boot. The thread runs
+the inner loop from napi_threaded_poll(), the wait part is different. It
+checks for NAPI_STATE_SCHED (the backlog NAPI can not be disabled).
+
+The NAPI threads for backlog are optional, it has to be enabled via the boot
+argument "thread_backlog_napi". It is mandatory for PREEMPT_RT to avoid the
+wakeup of ksoftirqd from the IPI.

+Subject: [PATCH 3/4] net: Use backlog-NAPI to clean up the defer_list.
+
+The defer_list is a per-CPU list which is used to free skbs outside of
+the socket lock and on the CPU on which they have been allocated.
+The list is processed during NAPI callbacks so ideally the list is
+cleaned up.
+Should the amount of skbs on the list exceed a certain water mark then
+the softirq is triggered remotely on the target CPU by invoking a remote
+function call. The raise of the softirqs via a remote function call
+leads to waking the ksoftirqd on PREEMPT_RT which is undesired.
+The backlog-NAPI threads already provide the infrastructure which can be
+utilized to perform the cleanup of the defer_list.
+
+The NAPI state is updated with the input_pkt_queue.lock acquired. It
+order not to break the state, it is needed to also wake the backlog-NAPI
+thread with the lock held. This requires to acquire the use the lock in
+rps_lock_irq*() if the backlog-NAPI threads are used even with RPS
+disabled.
+
+Move the logic of remotely starting softirqs to clean up the defer_list
+into kick_defer_list_purge(). Make sure a lock is held in
+rps_lock_irq*() if backlog-NAPI threads are used. Schedule backlog-NAPI
+for defer_list cleanup if backlog-NAPI is available.

+Subject: [PATCH 4/4] net: Rename rps_lock to backlog_lock.
+
+The rps_lock.*() functions use the inner lock of a sk_buff_head for
+locking. This lock is used if RPS is enabled, otherwise the list is
+accessed lockless and disabling interrupts is enough for the
+synchronisation because it is only accessed CPU local. Not only the list
+is protected but also the NAPI state protected.
+With the addition of backlog threads, the lock is also needed because of
+the cross CPU access even without RPS. The clean up of the defer_list
+list is also done via backlog threads (if enabled).
+
+It has been suggested to rename the locking function since it is no
+longer just RPS.
+
+Rename the rps_lock*() functions to backlog_lock*().

-Subject: [PATCH] net/core: add optional threading for backlog processing
-
-When dealing with few flows or an imbalance on CPU utilization, static RPS
-CPU assignment can be too inflexible. Add support for enabling threaded NAPI
-for backlog processing in order to allow the scheduler to better balance
-processing. This helps better spread the load across idle CPUs.
