From: Dmitry Vyukov <dvyukov@xxxxxxxxxx>
Subject: kasan: resched in quarantine_remove_cache()
We see reported stalls/lockups in quarantine_remove_cache() on machines
with large amounts of RAM. quarantine_remove_cache() needs to scan whole
quarantine in order to take out all objects belonging to the cache.
Quarantine is currently 1/32-th of RAM, e.g. on a machine with 256GB of
memory that will be 8GB. Moreover quarantine scanning is a walk over
uncached linked list, which is slow.
Add cond_resched() after scanning of each non-empty batch of objects.
Batches are specifically kept of reasonable size for quarantine_put(). On
a machine with 256GB of RAM we should have ~512 non-empty batches, each
with 16MB of objects.
