Cpu stall issue may happen if device is configured with multi queues
and large queue depth, so fix it.

that's not "fixing a stall", it is "call the scheduler because we are
taking too long".  The CPU isn't stalled at all, just busy.

Are you sure this isn't just a bug in the code?  Why is this code taking
so long that you have to force the scheduler to run?  This is almost
always a sign that something else needs to be fixed instead.

And same comment on the other 2 patches, please fix this properly.

Also, this is a tight loop that is just freeing memory, why is it taking
so long?  Why do you want it to take longer (which is what you are doing
here), ideally it would be faster, not slower, so you are now slowing
down the system overall with this patchset, right?

yes, it is the similar fix with one for virtio-net

I would argue that this too is incorrect, because why does freeing
memory take so long?  And again, you are making it take longer, is that
ok?

Yes, it may take longer, but I think it's no harms.

As the queue numbers and queue's depth are uncertain, it depends on 
user's configuration. It may take more times in kernel space to free all 
queues without schedule, so it has the risk to cause other task starve

Well that one actually at least describes the configuration:


	For multi-queue and large ring-size use case, the following error
	occurred when free_unused_bufs:
	rcu: INFO: rcu_sched self-detected stall on CPU.

So a similar fix but not a similar commit log, this one lacks Fixes tag and
description of what the problem is and when does it trigger.

> I would argue that this too is incorrect, because why does freeing
> memory take so long?

You are correct that even that one lacks detailed explanation
why does the patch help.

And the explanation why it takes so long is exactly that
we have very deep queues and a very large number of queues.
What the patch does is gives scheduler a chance
to do some work between the queues.

What does "may happen" imply exactly?
was this observed?

Then I would not recommend adding it at this time, as you just slowed
down the kernel for something that no one has reported :(

"may happen" is ambigous.

So is this: "for virtio-net we were getting
stall on CPU was observed message, this driver is similar
so theoretically the same logic applies"

or is this

"the following error occured: ..... "

?

I applied this after tweaking commit log to address Greg's comments.
In the future I expect you guys to do such tweaks yourself.
