When we fill up a receive VQ, try_fill_recv currently tries to count
kicks using a 64 bit stats counter. Turns out, on a 32 bit kernel that
uses a seqcount. sequence counts are "lock" constructs where you need to
make sure that writers are serialized.
In turn, this means that we mustn't run two try_fill_recv concurrently.
Which of course we don't. We do run try_fill_recv sometimes from a
softirq napi context, and sometimes from a fully preemptible context,
but the later always runs with napi disabled.
However, when it comes to the seqcount, lockdep is trying to enforce the
rule that the same lock isn't accessed from preemptible and softirq
context - it doesn't know about napi being enabled/disabled. This causes
a false-positive warning:
WARNING: inconsistent lock state
...
inconsistent {SOFTIRQ-ON-W} -> {IN-SOFTIRQ-W} usage.
As a work around, shut down the warning by switching
to u64_stats_update_begin_irqsave - that works by disabling
interrupts on 32 bit only, is a NOP on 64 bit.

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.
