syzbot reported a race around qdisc-&gt;qdisc_sleeping [1]

It is time we add proper annotations to reads and writes to/from
qdisc-&gt;qdisc_sleeping.

<title>rfs: annotate lockless accesses to RFS sock flow table</title>

<id>5c3b74a92aa285a3df722bf6329ba7ccf70346d6</id>
<content type='text'>
Add READ_ONCE()/WRITE_ONCE() on accesses to the sock flow table.

This also prevents a (smart ?) compiler to remove the condition in:

if (table-&gt;ents[index] != newval)
        table-&gt;ents[index] = newval;

We need the condition to avoid dirtying a shared cache line.

Before blamed commit, pskb_may_pull() was used instead
of skb_header_pointer() in __vlan_get_protocol() and friends.

Few callers depended on skb-&gt;head being populated with MAC header,
syzbot caught one of them (skb_mac_gso_segment())

Add vlan_get_protocol_and_depth() to make the intent clearer
and use it where sensible.

This is a more generic fix than commit e9d3f80935b6
("net/af_packet: make sure to pull mac header") which was
dealing with a similar issue.

We use napi_threaded_poll() in order to reduce our softirq dependency.

We can add a followup of 821eba962d95 ("net: optimize napi_schedule_rps()")
to further remove the need of firing NET_RX_SOFTIRQ whenever
RPS/RFS are used.

If we call skb_defer_free_flush() from napi_threaded_poll(),
we can avoid to raise IPI from skb_attempt_defer_free()
when the list becomes too big.

This allows napi_threaded_poll() to rely less on softirqs,
and lowers latency caused by a too big list.

kfree_skb() can be called from hard irq handlers,
but skb_attempt_defer_free() is meant to be used
from process or BH contexts, and skb_defer_free_flush()
is meant to be called from BH contexts.

Not having to mask hard irq can save some cycles.

__kfree_skb_defer() uses the old naming where "defer" meant
slab bulk free/alloc APIs. In the meantime we also made
__kfree_skb_defer() feed the per-NAPI skb cache, which
implies bulk APIs. So take away the 'defer' and add 'napi'.

While at it add a drop reason. This only matters on the
tx_action path, if the skb has a frag_list. But getting
rid of a SKB_DROP_REASON_NOT_SPECIFIED seems like a net
benefit so why not.
