[ Upstream commit 481a0d7422db26fb63e2d64f0652667a5c6d0f3e ] The loop may exist if vq->broken is true, virtqueue_get_buf_ctx_packed or virtqueue_get_buf_ctx_split will return NULL, so virtnet_poll will reschedule napi to receive packet, it will lead cpu usage(si) to 100%. call trace as below: virtnet_poll virtnet_receive virtqueue_get_buf_ctx virtqueue_get_buf_ctx_packed virtqueue_get_buf_ctx_split virtqueue_napi_complete virtqueue_poll //return true virtqueue_napi_schedule //it will reschedule napi to fix this, return false if vq is broken in virtqueue_poll.

Linux kernel ============ There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at: https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/ There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
