3.18-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Trond Myklebust <trond.myklebust@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> commit 7f1bda447c9bd48b415acedba6b830f61591601f upstream. The commit list can get very large, and so we need a cond_resched() in nfs_commit_release_pages() in order to ensure we don't hog the CPU for excessive periods of time.
