net: Use this_cpu_inc() to increment net->core_stats
The macro dev_core_stats_##FIELD##_inc() disables preemption and invokes
netdev_core_stats_alloc() to return a per-CPU pointer.
netdev_core_stats_alloc() will allocate memory on its first invocation
which breaks on PREEMPT_RT because it requires non-atomic context for
memory allocation.
This can be avoided by enabling preemption in netdev_core_stats_alloc()
assuming the caller always disables preemption.
It might be better to replace local_inc() with this_cpu_inc() now that
dev_core_stats_##FIELD##_inc() gained a preempt-disable section and does
not rely on already disabled preemption. This results in less
instructions on x86-64:
local_inc:
| incl %gs:__preempt_count(%rip) # __preempt_count
| movq 488(%rdi), %rax # _1->core_stats, _22
| testq %rax, %rax # _22
| je .L585 #,
| add %gs:this_cpu_off(%rip), %rax # this_cpu_off, tcp_ptr__
| .L586:
| testq %rax, %rax # _27
| je .L587 #,
| incq (%rax) # _6->a.counter
| .L587:
| decl %gs:__preempt_count(%rip) # __preempt_count
this_cpu_inc(), this patch:
| movq 488(%rdi), %rax # _1->core_stats, _5
| testq %rax, %rax # _5
| je .L591 #,
| .L585:
| incq %gs:(%rax) # _18->rx_dropped
Use unsigned long as type for the counter. Use this_cpu_inc() to
increment the counter. Use a plain read of the counter.
