napi_schedule() is expected to be called either:
* From an interrupt, where raised softirqs are handled on IRQ exit
* From a softirq disabled section, where raised softirqs are handled on
the next call to local_bh_enable().
* From a softirq handler, where raised softirqs are handled on the next
round in do_softirq(), or further deferred to a dedicated kthread.
Other bare tasks context may end up ignoring the raised NET_RX vector
until the next random softirq handling opportunity, which may not
happen before a while if the CPU goes idle afterwards with the tick
stopped.
Such "misuses" have been detected on several places thanks to messages
of the kind:
"NOHZ tick-stop error: local softirq work is pending, handler #08!!!"
For example:
__raise_softirq_irqoff
__napi_schedule
rtl8152_runtime_resume.isra.0
rtl8152_resume
usb_resume_interface.isra.0
usb_resume_both
__rpm_callback
rpm_callback
rpm_resume
__pm_runtime_resume
usb_autoresume_device
usb_remote_wakeup
hub_event
process_one_work
worker_thread
kthread
ret_from_fork
ret_from_fork_asm
And also:
* drivers/net/usb/r8152.c::rtl_work_func_t
* drivers/net/netdevsim/netdev.c::nsim_start_xmit

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 reStructuredText 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.
