Hi, Johannes has noticed few soft lockups when adding a large nvdimm device. All of them were caused by a long loop without any explicit cond_resched which is a problem for !PREEMPT kernels. The fix is quite straightforward. Just make sure that cond_resched gets called from time to time. Could you consider these for merging? -- To unsubscribe, send a message with 'unsubscribe linux-mm' in the body to majordomo@xxxxxxxxx. For more info on Linux MM, see: http://www.linux-mm.org/ .
