We dropped calling process_csb prior to handling direct submission in order to avoid the nesting of spinlocks and lift process_csb() and the majority of the tasklet out of irq-off. However, we do want to avoid ksoftirqd latency in the fast path, so try and pull the interrupt-bh local to direct submission if we can acquire the tasklet's lock. v2: Document the read of pending[0] from outside the tasklet with READ_ONCE.

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.
