Ong Boon Leong 553290002a xdp: fix xdp_return_frame() kernel BUG throw for page_pool memory model
[ Upstream commit 622d13694b5f048c01caa7ba548498d9880d4cb0 ]

xdp_return_frame() may be called outside of NAPI context to return
xdpf back to page_pool. xdp_return_frame() calls __xdp_return() with
napi_direct = false. For page_pool memory model, __xdp_return() calls
xdp_return_frame_no_direct() unconditionally and below false negative
kernel BUG throw happened under preempt-rt build:

[  430.450355] BUG: using smp_processor_id() in preemptible [00000000] code: modprobe/3884
[  430.451678] caller is __xdp_return+0x1ff/0x2e0
[  430.452111] CPU: 0 PID: 3884 Comm: modprobe Tainted: G     U      E     5.12.0-rc2+ #45

Changes in v2:
 - This patch fixes the issue by making xdp_return_frame_no_direct() is
   only called if napi_direct = true, as recommended for better by
   Jesper Dangaard Brouer. Thanks!

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
