[PATCH net-next] tcp: do not block bh during prequeue processing

2016-04-27 Thread Eric Dumazet
From: Eric Dumazet AFAIK, nothing in current TCP stack absolutely wants BH being disabled once socket is owned by a thread running in process context. As mentioned in my prior patch ("tcp: give prequeue mode some care"), processing a batch of packets might take time, better not block BH at all.
