From: Trond Myklebust <trond.myklebust@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> This patch has been added to the 4.1 stable tree. If you have any objections, please let us know. =============== [ Upstream commit 7f1bda447c9bd48b415acedba6b830f61591601f ] 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.
