Now that we have enabled IRQ stacks, any softIRQs that are handled over the back of a hard IRQ will run from the IRQ stack as well. However, any synchronous softirq processing that happens when re-enabling softIRQs from task context will still execute on that task's stack. Since any call to local_bh_enable() at any level in the task's call stack may trigger a softIRQ processing run, which could potentially cause a task stack overflow if the combined stack footprints exceed the stack's size, let's run these synchronous invocations of do_softirq() on the IRQ stack as well.

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.
