net: Remove preemption disabling in netif_rx()
1)enqueue_to_backlog() (called from netif_rx) should be bind to a particluar CPU. This can be achieved by disabling migration. No need to disable preemption 2)Fixes crash "BUG: scheduling while atomic: ksoftirqd" in case of RT. If preemption is disabled, enqueue_to_backog() is called in atomic context. And if backlog exceeds its count, kfree_skb() is called. But in RT, kfree_skb() might gets scheduled out, so it expects non atomic context. -Replace preempt_enable(), preempt_disable() with migrate_enable(), migrate_disable() respectively -Replace get_cpu(), put_cpu() with get_cpu_light(), put_cpu_light() respectively Signed-off-by:Priyanka Jain <Priyanka.Jain@freescale.com> Signed-off-by:
