From: Jens Axboe <axboe@xxxxxxxxx> commit fcc926bb857949dbfa51a7d95f3f5ebc657f198c upstream. If the kernel is configured with CONFIG_PREEMPT_NONE, we could be sitting in a tight loop reaping events but not giving them a chance to finish. This results in a trace ala: rcu: INFO: rcu_sched self-detected stall on CPU rcu: 2-...!: (5249 ticks this GP) idle=935c/1/0x4000000000000000 softirq=4265/4274 fqs=1 (t=5251 jiffies g=465 q=4135 ncpus=4) rcu: rcu_sched kthread starved for 5249 jiffies! g465 f0x0 RCU_GP_WAIT_FQS(5) ->state=0x0 ->cpu=0 rcu: Unless rcu_sched kthread gets sufficient CPU time, OOM is now expected behavior. rcu: RCU grace-period kthread stack dump: task:rcu_sched state:R running task stack:0 pid:12 ppid:2 flags:0x00000008 Call trace: __switch_to+0xb0/0xc8 __schedule+0x43c/0x520 schedule+0x4c/0x98 schedule_timeout+0xbc/0xdc rcu_gp_fqs_loop+0x308/0x344 rcu_gp_kthread+0xd8/0xf0 kthread+0xb8/0xc8 ret_from_fork+0x10/0x20 rcu: Stack dump where RCU GP kthread last ran: Task dump for CPU 0: task:kworker/u8:10 state:R running task stack:0 pid:89 ppid:2 flags:0x0000000a Workqueue: events_unbound io_ring_exit_work Call trace: __switch_to+0xb0/0xc8 0xffff0000c8fefd28 CPU: 2 PID: 95 Comm: kworker/u8:13 Not tainted 6.2.0-rc5-00042-g40316e337c80-dirty #2759 Hardware name: linux,dummy-virt (DT) Workqueue: events_unbound io_ring_exit_work pstate: 61400005 (nZCv daif +PAN -UAO -TCO +DIT -SSBS BTYPE=--) pc : io_do_iopoll+0x344/0x360 lr : io_do_iopoll+0xb8/0x360 sp : ffff800009bebc60 x29: ffff800009bebc60 x28: 0000000000000000 x27: 0000000000000000 x26: ffff0000c0f67d48 x25: ffff0000c0f67840 x24: ffff800008950024 x23: 0000000000000001 x22: 0000000000000000 x21: ffff0000c27d3200 x20: ffff0000c0f67840 x19: ffff0000c0f67800 x18: 0000000000000000 x17: 0000000000000000 x16: 0000000000000000 x15: 0000000000000000 x14: 0000000000000001 x13: 0000000000000001 x12: 0000000000000000 x11: 0000000000000179 x10: 0000000000000870 x9 : ffff800009bebd60 x8 : ffff0000c27d3ad0 x7 : fefefefefefefeff x6 : 0000646e756f626e x5 : ffff0000c0f67840 x4 : 0000000000000000 x3 : ffff0000c2398000 x2 : 0000000000000000 x1 : 0000000000000000 x0 : 0000000000000000 Call trace: io_do_iopoll+0x344/0x360 io_uring_try_cancel_requests+0x21c/0x334 io_ring_exit_work+0x90/0x40c process_one_work+0x1a4/0x254 worker_thread+0x1ec/0x258 kthread+0xb8/0xc8 ret_from_fork+0x10/0x20 Add a cond_resched() in the cancelation IOPOLL loop to fix this.
