Add cond_resched once per task. Signed-off-by: Michal Hocko <mhocko@xxxxxxxx> --- Hi, I am sending this as an RFC because I am not sure this is the best approach to be honest. The customer who reported this issue was not entirely thrilled about testing this so it might be possible that the patch is not sufficient. Details about the workload are not very detailed either. Any comment would be highly appreciated. net/core/netclassid_cgroup.c | 1 + 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+) diff --git a/net/core/netclassid_cgroup.c b/net/core/netclassid_cgroup.c index 5e4f04004a49..7bf833598615 100644 --- a/net/core/netclassid_cgroup.c +++ b/net/core/netclassid_cgroup.c @@ -106,6 +106,7 @@ static int write_classid(struct cgroup_subsys_state *css, struct cftype *cft, iterate_fd(p->files, 0, update_classid_sock, (void *)(unsigned long)cs->classid); task_unlock(p); + cond_resched(); } css_task_iter_end(&it); -- 2.19.0
