Since we're already looking at tsk->state, and the wake_up_process() ensures the thing becomes TASK_RUNNING, you could add: static inline bool ksoftirqd_running(void) { return __this_cpu_read(ksoftirqd)->state == TASK_RUNNING; } > + } > } > > /* > @@ -162,7 +165,9 @@ void __local_bh_enable_ip(unsigned long ip, unsigned int > cnt) > */ > preempt_count_sub(cnt - 1); > > - if (unlikely(!in_interrupt() && local_softirq_pending())) { > + if (unlikely(!in_interrupt() && > + local_softirq_pending() && > + !__this_cpu_read(ksoftirqd_scheduled))) { And use it here, > /* > * Run softirq if any pending.
