[PATCH] blk-cgroup: Use cond_resched() when destroy blkgs

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



On !PREEMPT kernel, we can get below softlockup when doing stress
testing with creating and destroying block cgroup repeatly. The
reason is it may take a long time to acquire the queue's lock in
the loop of blkcg_destroy_blkgs(), thus we can use cond_resched()
instead of cpu_relax() to avoid this issue, since the
blkcg_destroy_blkgs() is not called from atomic contexts.

[ 4757.010308] watchdog: BUG: soft lockup - CPU#11 stuck for 94s!
