Subject: [RFC PATCH 1/1] Softirq:avoid large sched delay from the pending softirqs
Date:   Fri, 17 Jul 2020 02:37:53 -0400
Message-Id: <1594967873-29522-1-git-send-email-qianjun.kernel@gmail.com>

From: jun qian <qianjun.kernel@gmail.com>

When get the pending softirqs, it need to process all the pending
softirqs in the while loop. If the processing time of each pending
softirq is need more than 2 msec in this loop, or one of the softirq
will running a long time, according to the original code logic, it
will process all the pending softirqs without wakeuping ksoftirqd,
which will cause a relatively large scheduling delay on the
corresponding CPU, which we do not wish to see. The patch will check
the total time to process pending softirq, if the time exceeds 2 ms
we need to wakeup the ksofirqd to aviod large sched delay.
