commit88e69af061upstream. The access to page pool `cache' array and the `count' variable is not locked. Page pool cache access is fine as long as there is only one consumer per pool. octeontx2 driver fills in rx buffers from page pool in NAPI context. If system is stressed and could not allocate buffers, refiiling work will be delegated to a delayed workqueue. This means that there are two cosumers to the page pool cache. Either workqueue or IRQ/NAPI can be run on other CPU. This will lead to lock less access, hence corruption of cache pool indexes. To fix this issue, NAPI is rescheduled from workqueue context to refill rx buffers.

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.
