+       while (!list_empty(&list)) {

Maybe do a list_first_entry_or_null here if you're touching the list
iteration anyway?

I can do that.

+       local_irq_disable();
+       list_splice_tail_init(iop_list, &list);
+       list_splice(&list, iop_list);
+
        if (rearm)
                __raise_softirq_irqoff(IRQ_POLL_SOFTIRQ);

Maybe check if we have a non-empty list before disabling irqs?

Which list? the local list? do in case the local list is empty
but iop_list isn't another irq_poll_sched() already raised a
softirq?

Also that list_emtpy check can replace the rearm condition - we only
set the rearm flag if we break with a non-empty local list now.

You're right.
