Subject: mm, swap_cgroup: reschedule when neeed in swap_cgroup_swapoff()
From: David Rientjes <rientjes@xxxxxxxxxx>
commit 460bcec84e11c75122ace5976214abbc596eb91b upstream.
We got need_resched() warnings in swap_cgroup_swapoff() because
swap_cgroup_ctrl[type].length is particularly large.
Reschedule when needed.
