Subject: [PATCH] net: page_pool: try to free deferred skbs while waiting for
pool release
The NAPI defer list can accumulate no longer used skbs, which can be reused
during alloc. If this happens on a CPU that otherwise does not do any
rx softirq processing, skbs can be held indefinitely, causing warnings
on releasing page pools.
Deal with this by scheduling rx softirq on all CPUs.
