Dave suggested a while ago (eleven years by now) "Let's make netif_rx()
work in all contexts and get rid of netif_rx_ni()". Eric agreed and
pointed out that modern devices should use netif_receive_skb() to avoid
the overhead.
In the meantime someone added another variant, netif_rx_any_context(),
which behaves as suggested.
netif_rx() must be invoked with disabled bottom halves to ensure that
pending softirqs, which were raised within the function, are handled.
netif_rx_ni() can be invoked only from process context (bottom halves
must be enabled) because the function handles pending softirqs without
checking if bottom halves were disabled or not.
netif_rx_any_context() invokes on the former functions by checking
in_interrupts().
netif_rx() could be taught to handle both cases (disabled and enabled
bottom halves) by simply disabling bottom halves while invoking
netif_rx_internal(). The local_bh_enable() invocation will then invoke
pending softirqs only if the BH-disable counter drops to zero.
Eric is concerned about the overhead of BH-disable+enable especially in
regard to the loopback driver. As critical as this driver is, it will
receive a shortcut to avoid the additional overhead which is not needed.
Add a local_bh_disable() section in netif_rx() to ensure softirqs are
handled if needed.
Provide __netif_rx() which does not disable BH and has a lockdep assert
to ensure that interrupts are disabled. Use this shortcut in the
loopback driver and in drivers/net/*.c.
Make netif_rx_ni() and netif_rx_any_context() invoke netif_rx() so they
can be removed once they are no more users left.

At present, ntb_netdev devices end up under /sys/devices/virtual/net

Right now if we push the NTB really hard, we start dropping packets due
to not able to process the packets fast enough. We need to st:qop the
upper layer from flooding us when that happens.
A timer is necessary in order to restart the queue once the resource has
been processed on the receive side. Due to the way NTB is setup, the
resources on the tx side are tied to the processing of the rx side and
there's no async way to know when the rx side has released those
resources.

It was possible for a synchronous update of the RX index in the error
case to get ahead of the asynchronous RX index update in the normal
case. Change the RX processing to preserve an RX completion order.
There were two error cases. First, if a buffer is not present to
receive data, there would be no queue entry to preserve the RX
completion order. Instead of dropping the RX frame, leave the RX frame
in the ring. Schedule RX processing when RX entries are enqueued, in
case there are RX frames waiting in the ring to be received.
Second, if a buffer is too small to receive data, drop the frame in the
ring, mark the RX entry as done, and indicate the error in the RX entry
length. Check for a negative length in the receive callback in
ntb_netdev, and count occurrences as rx_length_errors.
