Subject: [PATCH net] pds_core: yield the CPU while waiting for the adminq to drain
Date: Tue, 14 Jul 2026 20:14:56 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260714201456.1776153-1-nikhil.rao@amd.com> (raw)
pdsc_adminq_wait_and_dec_once_unused() busy-waits for adminq_refcnt to
drop to one:
while (!refcount_dec_if_one(&pdsc->adminq_refcnt))
cpu_relax();
The refcount is held by pdsc_adminq_post() for the duration of an
in-flight command, which can wait up to devcmd_timeout seconds
(PDS_CORE_DEVCMD_TIMEOUT is 5) for the hardware to complete. cpu_relax()
is not a reschedule point, so on a non-preemptible kernel this loop can
spin on the CPU for several seconds, starving other tasks on that core.
Add cond_resched() to the loop so the waiter yields to other runnable
tasks while it polls, keeping cpu_relax() as the busy-wait hint between
checks.
Fixes: 7e82a8745b95 ("pds_core: Prevent race issues involving the adminq")
