[PATCH v5 net 3/3] bpf: report RCU QS in cpumap kthread

From: Yan Zhai
Date: Tue Mar 19 2024 - 16:45:53 EST


When there are heavy load, cpumap kernel threads can be busy polling
packets from redirect queues and block out RCU tasks from reaching
quiescent states. It is insufficient to just call cond_resched() in such
context. Periodically raise a consolidated RCU QS before cond_resched
fixes the problem.
