If we're being delivered packets from multiple CPUs so quickly that the
ring lock is contended for CPU tries, then it's safe to assume that the
queue is near capacity anyway, so just drop the packet rather than
spinning. This helps deal with multicore DoS that can interfere with
data path performance. It _still_ does not completely fix the issue, but
it again chips away at it.

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.
