When removing a cpumap entry, a number of syncronization steps happen.
Eventually the teardown code __cpu_map_entry_free is invoked from/via
call_rcu.
The teardown code __cpu_map_entry_free() flushes remaining xdp_frames,
by invoking bq_flush_to_queue, which calls xdp_return_frame_rx_napi().
The issues is that the teardown code is not running in the RX NAPI
code path. Thus, it is not allowed to invoke the NAPI variant of
xdp_return_frame.
This bug was found and triggered by using the --stress-mode option to
the samples/bpf program xdp_redirect_cpu. It is hard to trigger,
because the ptr_ring have to be full and cpumap bulk queue max
contains 8 packets, and a remote CPU is racing to empty the ptr_ring
queue.

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.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.
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.
