From: Pavel Tatashin pasha.tatashin@soleen.com Date: Wed, 3 Jun 2020 15:59:27 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] mm: call cond_resched() from deferred_init_memmap()
Now that deferred pages are initialized with interrupts enabled we can replace touch_nmi_watchdog() with cond_resched(), as it was before 3a2d7fa8a3d5.
For now, we cannot do the same in deferred_grow_zone() as it is still initializes pages with interrupts disabled.
This change fixes RCU problem described in https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20200401104156.11564-2-david@redhat.com
