The idea of moving the napi poll process out of softirq context to a kernel thread based context is not new. Paolo Abeni and Hannes Frederic Sowa have proposed patches to move napi poll to kthread back in 2016. And Felix Fietkau has also proposed patches of similar ideas to use workqueue to process napi poll just a few weeks ago.I'd like to explicitly thank Wei and the reviewers for all the effort done to get this merged! Nice and huge work, kudos on you!
Thank you Paolo! And thanks to all the reviewers!
Thanks! Paolo
