The current semantic for napi_consume_skb() is that caller need
to provide non-zero budget when calling from NAPI context, and
breaking this semantic will cause hard to debug problem, because
_kfree_skb_defer() need to run in atomic context in order to push
the skb to the particular cpu' napi_alloc_cache atomically.

So add a in_softirq() debug checking in napi_consume_skb() to catch
this kind of error.

Can't we use lockdep instead of defining our own knobs?
From the first look, using the below seems better than defining our
own knobs, because there is similar lockdep_assert_in_irq() checking
already and lockdep_assert_in_*() is NULL-OP when CONFIG_PROVE_LOCKING
is not defined.

Like this maybe?

Using in_softirq() seems more obvious then using softirq_count()?
And there is below comment above avoiding the using of in_softirq(), maybe
that is why you use softirq_count() directly here?
"softirq_count() == 0" still mean we are not in the SoftIRQ context and
BH is not disabled. right? Perhap lockdep_assert_in_softirq_or_bh_disabled()
is more obvious?

/*
 * Are we doing bottom half or hardware interrupt processing?
 *
 * in_irq()       - We're in (hard) IRQ context
 * in_softirq()   - We have BH disabled, or are processing softirqs
 * in_interrupt() - We're in NMI,IRQ,SoftIRQ context or have BH disabled
 * in_serving_softirq() - We're in softirq context
 * in_nmi()       - We're in NMI context
 * in_task()	  - We're in task context
 *
 * Note: due to the BH disabled confusion: in_softirq(),in_interrupt() really
 *       should not be used in new code.
 */


Also, is there any particular reason we do the "this_cpu_read(hardirq_context)"
checking?

Thanks.
