From: Filipe Manana <fdmanana@xxxxxxxx> commit bb56f02f26fe23798edb1b2175707419b28c752a upstream. Logging directories with many entries can take a significant amount of time, and in some cases monopolize a cpu/core for a long time if the logging task doesn't happen to block often enough. Johannes and Lu Fengqi reported test case generic/041 triggering a soft lockup when the kernel has CONFIG_SOFTLOCKUP_DETECTOR=y. For this test case we log an inode with 3002 hard links, and because the test removed one hard link before fsyncing the file, the inode logging causes the parent directory do be logged as well, which has 6004 directory items to log (3002 BTRFS_DIR_ITEM_KEY items plus 3002 BTRFS_DIR_INDEX_KEY items), so it can take a significant amount of time and trigger the soft lockup. So just make tree-log.c:log_dir_items() reschedule when necessary, releasing the current search path before doing so and then resume from where it was before the reschedule. The stack trace produced when the soft lockup happens is the following: [10480.277653] watchdog: BUG: soft lockup - CPU#2 stuck for 22s!
