Move ptr_ring dequeue outside loop, that allocate SKBs and calls network stack, as these operations that can take some time. The ptr_ring is a communication channel between CPUs, where we want to reduce/limit any cacheline bouncing. Do a concentrated bulk dequeue via ptr_ring_consume_batched, to shorten the period and times the remote cacheline in ptr_ring is read Batch size 8 is both to (1) limit BH-disable period, and (2) consume one cacheline on 64-bit archs. After reducing the BH-disable section further then we can consider changing this, while still thinking about L1 cacheline size being active.

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.
