It's good to have cond_resched() in those places but it must be done
more carefully, as the code path may be called from the non-atomic
context, too.  That is, it must have a check of atomic argument, and
cond_resched() is applied only when atomic==false.

But I still wonder how this gets a RCU stall out of sudden.  Looking
through https://syzkaller.appspot.com/bug?extid=bb950e68b400ab4f65f8
it's triggered by many cases since the end of September...
I did not find useful information from the log,  through calltrace, I
guess it may be triggered by the long cycle time, which caused the
static state of the RCU to

not be reported in time.
Yes, I understand that logic.  But I wonder why this gets triggered
*now* out of sudden.  The code has been present over decades, and I
don't think the similar test case must have been performed by fuzzer.

I ignore the atomic parameter check,  I will resend v2 .   in
no-atomic context, we can insert

cond_resched() to avoid this situation, but in atomic context,

the RCU stall maybe still trigger.
Right, so maybe it's better to have an upper limit for the processed
cells, something like below (totally untested).

Could you reproduce the problem locally?  Otherwise it's all nothing
but a guess...

yes, this is just a guess.  I haven't reproduced locally, limiting the number of cycles is a suitable modification,

but the  MAX_CELL_PROCESSES_IN_QUEUE is an experience value.
