From: Xuan Zhuo <xuanzhuo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> [ Upstream commit b772f07add1c0b22e02c0f1e96f647560679d3a9 ] When the user consumes and generates sqe at a fast rate, io_sqring_entries can always get sqe, and ret will not be equal to -EBUSY, so that io_sq_thread will never call cond_resched or schedule, and then we will get the following system error prompt: rcu: INFO: rcu_sched self-detected stall on CPU or watchdog: BUG: soft lockup-CPU#23 stuck for 112s! [io_uring-sq:1863] This patch checks whether need to call cond_resched() by checking the need_resched() function every cycle.
