====================
Removing entries from cpumap and devmap, goes through a number of
syncronization steps to make sure no new xdp_frames can be enqueued.
But there is a small chance, that xdp_frames remains which have not
been flushed/processed yet. Flushing these during teardown, happens
from RCU context and not as usual under RX NAPI context.
The optimization introduced in commt 389ab7f01af9 ("xdp: introduce
xdp_return_frame_rx_napi"), missed that the flush operation can also
be called from RCU context. Thus, we cannot always use the
xdp_return_frame_rx_napi call, which take advantage of the protection
provided by XDP RX running under NAPI protection.
The samples/bpf xdp_redirect_cpu have a --stress-mode, that is
adjusted to easier reproduce (verified by Red Hat QA).

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.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.
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.
