commit 117003c32771df617acf66e140fbdbdeb0ac71f5 upstream.
Patch series "initialize deferred pages with interrupts enabled", v4.
Keep interrupts enabled during deferred page initialization in order to make code more modular and allow jiffies to update.
Original approach, and discussion can be found here: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20200311123848.118638-1-shile.zhang@linux.alibaba.c...
This patch (of 3):
deferred_init_memmap() disables interrupts the entire time, so it calls touch_nmi_watchdog() periodically to avoid soft lockup splats. Soon it will run with interrupts enabled, at which point cond_resched() should be used instead.
deferred_grow_zone() makes the same watchdog calls through code shared with deferred init but will continue to run with interrupts disabled, so it can't call cond_resched().
Pull the watchdog calls up to these two places to allow the first to be changed later, independently of the second. The frequency reduces from twice per pageblock (init and free) to once per max order block.
