[ Upstream commit c180188ec02281126045414e90d08422a80f75b4 ]
Commit 7acf8a1e8a28 ("Replace 2 jiffies with sysctl netdev_budget_usecs to enable softirq tuning") added a possibility to set net_hotdata.netdev_budget_usecs, but added no lower bound checking.
Commit a4837980fd9f ("net: revert default NAPI poll timeout to 2 jiffies") made the *initial* value HZ-dependent, so the initial value is at least 2 jiffies even for lower HZ values (2 ms for 1000 Hz, 8ms for 250 Hz, 20 ms for 100 Hz).
But a user still can set improper values by a sysctl. Set .extra1 (the lower bound) for net_hotdata.netdev_budget_usecs to the same value as in the latter commit. That is to 2 jiffies.
