Subject: mm/mprotect: add a cond_resched() inside change_pmd_range()
From: Anshuman Khandual <khandual@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
commit 4991c09c7c812dba13ea9be79a68b4565bb1fa4e upstream.
While testing on a large CPU system, detected the following RCU stall
many times over the span of the workload. This problem is solved by
adding a cond_resched() in the change_pmd_range() function.
INFO: rcu_sched detected stalls on CPUs/tasks:
154-....: (670 ticks this GP) idle=022/140000000000000/0 softirq=2825/2825 fqs=612
(detected by 955, t=6002 jiffies, g=4486, c=4485, q=90864)
