[ Upstream commit cd42ba1c8a ]
This came while reviewing commit c4e86b4363 ("net: add two more
call_rcu_hurry()").
Paolo asked if adding one synchronize_rcu() would help.
While synchronize_rcu() does not help, making sure to call
rcu_barrier() before msleep(wait) is definitely helping
to make sure lazy call_rcu() are completed.
Instead of waiting ~100 seconds in my tests, the ref_tracker
splats occurs one time only, and netdev_wait_allrefs_any()
latency is reduced to the strict minimum.
Ideally we should audit our call_rcu() users to make sure
no refcount (or cascading call_rcu()) is held too long,
because rcu_barrier() is quite expensive.
