Generally a delayed iput is added when we might do the final iput, so usually we'll end up sleeping while processing the delayed iputs naturally. However there's no guarantee of this, especially for small files. In production we noticed 5 instances of RCU stalls while testing a kernel release overnight across 1000 machines, so this is relatively common:
host count: 5 rcu: INFO: rcu_sched self-detected stall on CPU rcu: ....: (20998 ticks this GP) idle=59e/1/0x4000000000000002 softirq=12333372/12333372 fqs=3208 (t=21031 jiffies g=27810193 q=41075) NMI backtrace for cpu 1 CPU: 1 PID: 1713 Comm: btrfs-cleaner Kdump: loaded Not tainted 5.6.13-0_fbk12_rc1_5520_gec92bffc1ec9 #1 Call Trace: <IRQ> dump_stack+0x50/0x70 nmi_cpu_backtrace.cold.6+0x30/0x65 ? lapic_can_unplug_cpu.cold.30+0x40/0x40 nmi_trigger_cpumask_backtrace+0xba/0xca rcu_dump_cpu_stacks+0x99/0xc7 rcu_sched_clock_irq.cold.90+0x1b2/0x3a3 ? trigger_load_balance+0x5c/0x200 ? tick_sched_do_timer+0x60/0x60 ? tick_sched_do_timer+0x60/0x60 update_process_times+0x24/0x50 tick_sched_timer+0x37/0x70 __hrtimer_run_queues+0xfe/0x270 hrtimer_interrupt+0xf4/0x210 smp_apic_timer_interrupt+0x5e/0x120 apic_timer_interrupt+0xf/0x20 </IRQ> RIP: 0010:queued_spin_lock_slowpath+0x17d/0x1b0 RSP: 0018:ffffc9000da5fe48 EFLAGS: 00000246 ORIG_RAX: ffffffffffffff13 RAX: 0000000000000000 RBX: ffff889fa81d0cd8 RCX: 0000000000000029 RDX: ffff889fff86c0c0 RSI: 0000000000080000 RDI: ffff88bfc2da7200 RBP: ffff888f2dcdd768 R08: 0000000001040000 R09: 0000000000000000 R10: 0000000000000001 R11: ffffffff82a55560 R12: ffff88bfc2da7200 R13: 0000000000000000 R14: ffff88bff6c2a360 R15: ffffffff814bd870 ? kzalloc.constprop.57+0x30/0x30 list_lru_add+0x5a/0x100 inode_lru_list_add+0x20/0x40 iput+0x1c1/0x1f0 run_delayed_iput_locked+0x46/0x90 btrfs_run_delayed_iputs+0x3f/0x60 cleaner_kthread+0xf2/0x120 kthread+0x10b/0x130
Fix this by adding a cond_resched_lock() to the loop processing delayed iputs so we can avoid these sort of stalls.
