The quilt patch titled Subject: mm/swapfile: add cond_resched() in get_swap_pages() has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was mm-swapfile-add-cond_resched-in-get_swap_pages.patch This patch was dropped because it was merged into the mm-hotfixes-stable branch of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/akpm/mm ------------------------------------------------------ From: Longlong Xia <xialonglong1@xxxxxxxxxx> Subject: mm/swapfile: add cond_resched() in get_swap_pages() Date: Sat, 28 Jan 2023 09:47:57 +0000 The softlockup still occurs in get_swap_pages() under memory pressure. 64 CPU cores, 64GB memory, and 28 zram devices, the disksize of each zram device is 50MB with same priority as si. Use the stress-ng tool to increase memory pressure, causing the system to oom frequently. The plist_for_each_entry_safe() loops in get_swap_pages() could reach tens of thousands of times to find available space (extreme case: cond_resched() is not called in scan_swap_map_slots()). Let's add cond_resched() into get_swap_pages() when failed to find available space to avoid softlockup.
