[ Upstream commit a4837980fd9fa4c70a821d11831698901baef56b ]
For HZ < 1000 timeout 2000us rounds up to 1 jiffy but expires randomly because next timer interrupt could come shortly after starting softirq.
For commonly used CONFIG_HZ=1000 nothing changes.
Fixes: 7acf8a1e8a28 ("Replace 2 jiffies with sysctl netdev_budget_usecs to enable softirq tuning") Reported-by: Dmitry Yakunin zeil@yandex-team.ru Signed-off-by: Konstantin Khlebnikov khlebnikov@yandex-team.ru Signed-off-by: David S.
