commit 3e61e95e2d095e308616cba4ffb640f95a480e01 upstream. The callbacks processing time limit makes sure we are not exceeding a given amount of time executing the queue. However its "continue" clause bypasses the cond_resched() call on rcuc and NOCB kthreads, delaying it until we reach the limit, which can be very long... Make sure the scheduler has a higher priority than the time limit.

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.
