From 2a1613a586de91457fa93c3e468a6e2438fe52a0 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Nikolay Borisov Date: Tue, 11 Oct 2016 13:55:05 -0700 Subject: ipc/sem.c: add cond_resched in exit_sme In CONFIG_PREEMPT=n kernel a softlockup was observed while the for loop in exit_sem. Apparently it's possible for the loop to take quite a long time and it doesn't have a scheduling point in it. Since the codes is executing under an rcu read section this may also cause rcu stalls, which in turn block synchronize_rcu operations, which more or less de-stabilises the whole system. Fix this by introducing a cond_resched() at the beginning of the loop. So this patch fixes the following: NMI watchdog: BUG: soft lockup - CPU#10 stuck for 23s!
