Stream protocols such as TCP can often build up a backlog of data to be read due to ordering. Combine this with the fact that some workloads such as NFS read()-intensive workloads need to receive a lot of data per RPC call, and it turns out that receiving the data from inside a softirq context can cause starvation. The following patch moves the TCP data receive into a workqueue context. We still end up calling tcp_read_sock(), but we do so from a process context, meaning that softirqs are enabled for most of the time. With this patch, I see a doubling of read bandwidth when running a multi-threaded iozone workload between a virtual client and server setup.
