This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled ext4: add cond_resched() to ext4_protect_reserved_inode to the 4.4-stable tree which can be found at: http://www.kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/stable/stable-queue.git;a=summary The filename of the patch is: ext4-add-cond_resched-to-ext4_protect_reserved_inode.patch and it can be found in the queue-4.4 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. commit 0aab6dfe4fbb5946ad60d17d44809b87c6db0f7f Author: Shijie Luo <luoshijie1@xxxxxxxxxx> Date: Mon Feb 10 20:17:52 2020 -0500 ext4: add cond_resched() to ext4_protect_reserved_inode commit af133ade9a40794a37104ecbcc2827c0ea373a3c upstream. When journal size is set too big by "mkfs.ext4 -J size=", or when we mount a crafted image to make journal inode->i_size too big, the loop, "while (i < num)", holds cpu too long. This could cause soft lockup.
