The current semantic for napi_consume_skb() is that caller need to provide non-zero budget when calling from NAPI context, and breaking this semantic will cause hard to debug problem, because _kfree_skb_defer() need to run in atomic context in order to push the skb to the particular cpu' napi_alloc_cache atomically. So add the lockdep_assert_in_softirq() to assert when the running context is not in_softirq, in_softirq means softirq is serving or BH is disabled, which has a ambiguous semantics due to the BH disabled confusion, so add a comment to emphasize that. And the softirq context can be interrupted by hard IRQ or NMI context, lockdep_assert_in_softirq() need to assert about hard IRQ or NMI context too.

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.
