------------------------------------------------------ From: "Aneesh Kumar K.V" aneesh.kumar@linux.ibm.com Subject: mm/vunmap: add cond_resched() in vunmap_pmd_range
Like zap_pte_range add cond_resched so that we can avoid softlockups as reported below. On non-preemptible kernel with large I/O map region (like the one we get when using persistent memory with sector mode), an unmap of the namespace can report below softlockups.
