From: "Paul E. McKenney" <paulmck@xxxxxxxxxx> [ Upstream commit 0a3b3c253a1eb2c7fe7f34086d46660c909abeb3 ] A large process running on a heavily loaded system can encounter the following RCU CPU stall warning: rcu: INFO: rcu_sched self-detected stall on CPU rcu: 3-....: (20998 ticks this GP) idle=4ea/1/0x4000000000000002 softirq=556558/556558 fqs=5190 (t=21013 jiffies g=1005461 q=132576) NMI backtrace for cpu 3 CPU: 3 PID: 501900 Comm: aio-free-ring-w Kdump: loaded Not tainted 5.2.9-108_fbk12_rc3_3858_gb83b75af7909 #1 Hardware name: Wiwynn HoneyBadger/PantherPlus, BIOS HBM6.71 02/03/2016 Call Trace: <IRQ> dump_stack+0x46/0x60 nmi_cpu_backtrace.cold.3+0x13/0x50 ? lapic_can_unplug_cpu.cold.27+0x34/0x34 nmi_trigger_cpumask_backtrace+0xba/0xca rcu_dump_cpu_stacks+0x99/0xc7 rcu_sched_clock_irq.cold.87+0x1aa/0x397 ? tick_sched_do_timer+0x60/0x60 update_process_times+0x28/0x60 tick_sched_timer+0x37/0x70 __hrtimer_run_queues+0xfe/0x270 hrtimer_interrupt+0xf4/0x210 smp_apic_timer_interrupt+0x5e/0x120 apic_timer_interrupt+0xf/0x20 </IRQ> RIP: 0010:kmem_cache_free+0x223/0x300 Code: 88 00 00 00 0f 85 ca 00 00 00 41 8b 55 18 31 f6 f7 da 41 f6 45 0a 02 40 0f 94 c6 83 c6 05 9c 41 5e fa e8 a0 a7 01 00 41 56 9d <49> 8b 47 08 a8 03 0f 85 87 00 00 00 65 48 ff 08 e9 3d fe ff ff 65 RSP: 0018:ffffc9000e8e3da8 EFLAGS: 00000206 ORIG_RAX: ffffffffffffff13 RAX: 0000000000020000 RBX: ffff88861b9de960 RCX: 0000000000000030 RDX: fffffffffffe41e8 RSI: 000060777fe3a100 RDI: 000000000001be18 RBP: ffffea00186e7780 R08: ffffffffffffffff R09: ffffffffffffffff R10: ffff88861b9dea28 R11: ffff88887ffde000 R12: ffffffff81230a1f R13: ffff888854684dc0 R14: 0000000000000206 R15: ffff8888547dbc00 ? remove_vma+0x4f/0x60 remove_vma+0x4f/0x60 exit_mmap+0xd6/0x160 mmput+0x4a/0x110 do_exit+0x278/0xae0 ? syscall_trace_enter+0x1d3/0x2b0 ? handle_mm_fault+0xaa/0x1c0 do_group_exit+0x3a/0xa0 __x64_sys_exit_group+0x14/0x20 do_syscall_64+0x42/0x100 entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe+0x44/0xa9 And on a PREEMPT=n kernel, the "while (vma)" loop in exit_mmap() can run for a very long time given a large process. This commit therefore adds a cond_resched() to this loop, providing RCU any needed quiescent states.
