Mapping as little as 64GB can take more than 10 seconds, triggering issues on kernels with CONFIG_PREEMPT_NONE=y. ib_umem_get() already splits the work in 2MB units on x86_64, adding a cond_resched() in the long-lasting loop is enough to solve the issue. Note that sg_alloc_table() can still use more than 100 ms, which is also problematic. This might be addressed later in ib_umem_add_sg_table(), adding new blocks in sgl on demand.
