Hi, please let me confirm; is this backport really ok? I mean, should the
cond_resched() be added to btrfs_swap_activate() loop? I was able to
reproduce the same situation:

    $ git rev-parse HEAD
    319addc2ad901dac4d6cc931d77ef35073e0942f
    $ b4 mbox --single-message  c37ea7a8de12e996091ba295b2f201fbe680c96c.1733929328.git.fdmanana@xxxxxxxx

    Hunk #1 succeeded at 7117 with fuzz 1 (offset -2961 lines).

                            ret = -EAGAIN;
                            goto out;
                    }
    +
    +               cond_resched();
            }
    
            if (file_extent)

The same goes for all the other stable branches applied. Sorry if I'm
missing something.

Thanks,
