    rcu: Fix soft lockup for rcu_nocb_kthread · dfb704f9
    Ding Tianhong authored
    commit bedc1969 upstream.
    
    Carrying out the following steps results in a softlockup in the
    RCU callback-offload (rcuo) kthreads:
    
    1. Connect to ixgbevf, and set the speed to 10Gb/s.
    2. Use ifconfig to bring the nic up and down repeatedly.

    It turns out that the rcuos callback-offload kthread is busy processing
    a very large quantity of RCU callbacks, and it is not reliquishing the
    CPU while doing so.  This commit therefore adds an cond_resched_rcu_qs()
    within the loop to allow other tasks to run.
