[ Upstream commit b1779e4f209c7ff7e32f3c79d69bca4e3a3a68b6 ]
A large DMA mapping request can loop through dma address pinning for many pages. In cases where THP can not be used, the repeated vmf_insert_pfn can be costly, so let the task reschedule as need to prevent CPU stalls. Failure to do so has potential harmful side effects, like increased memory pressure as unrelated rcu tasks are unable to make their reclaim callbacks and result in OOM conditions.
