ifb: fix rcu_sched self-detected stalls
[ Upstream commit 440d57bc5ff55ec1efb3efc9cbe9420b4bbdfefa ] According to the commit 16b0dc29c1af9df341428f4c49ada4f626258082 (dummy: fix rcu_sched self-detected stalls) Eric Dumazet fix the problem in dummy, but the ifb will occur the same problem like the dummy modules. Trying to "modprobe ifb numifbs=30000" triggers : INFO: rcu_sched self-detected stall on CPU After this splat, RTNL is locked and reboot is needed. We must call cond_resched() to avoid this, even holding RTNL. Signed-off-by: Ding Tianhong <dingtianhong@huawei.com> Signed-off-by: David S.
