has been resolved:\n\npage_pool: avoid infinite loop to schedule delayed worker\n\nWe noticed the kworker in page_pool_release_retry() was waken\nup repeatedly and infinitely in production because of the\nbuggy driver causing the inflight less than 0 and warning\nus in page_pool_inflight()[1].\n\nSince the inflight value goes negative, it means we should\nnot expect the whole page_pool to get back to work normally.\n\nThis patch mitigates the adverse effect by not rescheduling\nthe kworker when detecting the inflight negative in\npage_pool_release_retry().\n\n[1]\n[Mon Feb 10 20:36:11 2025]
