From: Jonathan Lemon <bsd@xxxxxx> On some systems, some variant of the following splat is repeatedly seen. The common factor in all traces seems to be the entry point to task_file_seq_next(). With the patch, all warnings go away. rcu: INFO: rcu_sched self-detected stall on CPU rcu: \x0926-....: (20992 ticks this GP) idle=d7e/1/0x4000000000000002 softirq=81556231/81556231 fqs=4876 \x09(t=21033 jiffies g=159148529 q=223125) NMI backtrace for cpu 26 CPU: 26 PID: 2015853 Comm: bpftool Kdump: loaded Not tainted 5.6.13-0_fbk4_3876_gd8d1f9bf80bb #1 Hardware name: Quanta Twin Lakes MP/Twin Lakes Passive MP, BIOS F09_3A12 10/08/2018 Call Trace: <IRQ> dump_stack+0x50/0x70 nmi_cpu_backtrace.cold.6+0x13/0x50 ? lapic_can_unplug_cpu.cold.30+0x40/0x40 nmi_trigger_cpumask_backtrace+0xba/0xca rcu_dump_cpu_stacks+0x99/0xc7 rcu_sched_clock_irq.cold.90+0x1b4/0x3aa ? tick_sched_do_timer+0x60/0x60 update_process_times+0x24/0x50 tick_sched_timer+0x37/0x70 __hrtimer_run_queues+0xfe/0x270 hrtimer_interrupt+0xf4/0x210 smp_apic_timer_interrupt+0x5e/0x120 apic_timer_interrupt+0xf/0x20 </IRQ> RIP: 0010:get_pid_task+0x38/0x80 Code: 89 f6 48 8d 44 f7 08 48 8b 00 48 85 c0 74 2b 48 83 c6 55 48 c1 e6 04 48 29 f0 74 19 48 8d 78 20 ba 01 00 00 00 f0 0f c1 50 20 <85> d2 74 27 78 11 83 c2 01 78 0c 48 83 c4 08 c3 31 c0 48 83 c4 08 RSP: 0018:ffffc9000d293dc8 EFLAGS: 00000202 ORIG_RAX: ffffffffffffff13 RAX: ffff888637c05600 RBX: ffffc9000d293e0c RCX: 0000000000000000 RDX: 0000000000000001 RSI: 0000000000000550 RDI: ffff888637c05620 RBP: ffffffff8284eb80 R08: ffff88831341d300 R09: ffff88822ffd8248 R10: ffff88822ffd82d0 R11: 00000000003a93c0 R12: 0000000000000001 R13: 00000000ffffffff R14: ffff88831341d300 R15: 0000000000000000 ? find_ge_pid+0x1b/0x20 task_seq_get_next+0x52/0xc0 task_file_seq_get_next+0x159/0x220 task_file_seq_next+0x4f/0xa0 bpf_seq_read+0x159/0x390 vfs_read+0x8a/0x140 ksys_read+0x59/0xd0 do_syscall_64+0x42/0x110 entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe+0x44/0xa9 RIP: 0033:0x7f95ae73e76e Code: Bad RIP value.

Also, save the stopping task number from task_seq_get_next() on failure in case of restarts.
