[ Upstream commit d6dbbb11247c71203785a2c9da474c36f4b19eae ]

NAPI threads can keep polling packets under load. Currently it is only
calling cond_resched() before repolling, but it is not sufficient to
clear out the holdout of RCU tasks, which prevent BPF tracing programs
from detaching for long period. This can be reproduced easily with
following set up:

ip netns add test1
ip netns add test2

ip -n test1 link add veth1 type veth peer name veth2 netns test2

ip -n test1 link set veth1 up
ip -n test1 link set lo up
ip -n test2 link set veth2 up
ip -n test2 link set lo up

ip -n test1 addr add 192.168.1.2/31 dev veth1
ip -n test1 addr add 1.1.1.1/32 dev lo
ip -n test2 addr add 192.168.1.3/31 dev veth2
ip -n test2 addr add 2.2.2.2/31 dev lo

ip -n test1 route add default via 192.168.1.3
ip -n test2 route add default via 192.168.1.2

for i in `seq 10 210`; do
for j in `seq 10 210`; do
ip netns exec test2 iptables -I INPUT -s 3.3.$i.$j -p udp --dport 5201
done
done

ip netns exec test2 ethtool -K veth2 gro on
ip netns exec test2 bash -c 'echo 1 > /sys/class/net/veth2/threaded'
ip netns exec test1 ethtool -K veth1 tso off

Then run an iperf3 client/server and a bpftrace script can trigger it:

ip netns exec test2 iperf3 -s -B 2.2.2.2 >/dev/null&
ip netns exec test1 iperf3 -c 2.2.2.2 -B 1.1.1.1 -u -l 1500 -b 3g -t 100 >/dev/null&
bpftrace -e 'kfunc:__napi_poll{@=count();} interval:s:1{exit();}'

Report RCU quiescent states periodically will resolve the issue.
