[ Upstream commit eff6d998ca297cb0b2e53b032a56cf8e04dd8b17 ] Limit the maximum number of calls to each tasklet from rxe_do_task() before yielding the cpu. When the limit is reached reschedule the tasklet and exit the calling loop. This patch prevents one tasklet from consuming 100% of a cpu core and causing a deadlock or soft lockup.

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.
