From: "Jason A. Donenfeld" <Jason@xxxxxxxxx> [ Upstream commit 4005f5c3c9d006157ba716594e0d70c88a235c5e ] Users with pathological hardware reported CPU stalls on CONFIG_ PREEMPT_VOLUNTARY=y, because the ringbuffers would stay full, meaning these workers would never terminate. That turned out not to be okay on systems without forced preemption, which Sultan observed. This commit adds a cond_resched() to the bottom of each loop iteration, so that these workers don't hog the core. Note that we don't need this on the napi poll worker, since that terminates after its budget is expended.
