I am constantly seeing the following warning on Meta's fleet: INFO: rcu_tasks detected stalls on tasks: native_queued_spin_lock_slowpath locked_inode_to_wb_and_lock_list inode_io_list_del evict __dentry_kill shrink_dentry_list shrink_dcache_tree d_invalidate btrfs_delete_subvolume btrfs_ioctl_snap_destroy btrfs_ioctl do_syscall_64 dentry_kill() is the common funnel for dentry teardown: dput(), shrink_dentry_list() and shrink_dcache_tree() all reach it, once per dentry, and its cond_resched() is the only reschedule point on that path. cond_resched() is not an RCU-tasks quiescent state. Use cond_resched_tasks_rcu_qs() so the teardown reports an RCU-tasks quiescent state as it proceeds.
