memory_hotplug: cond_resched in __remove_pages
We have received a bug report that unbinding a large pmem (>1TB) can result in a soft lockup: NMI watchdog: BUG: soft lockup - CPU#9 stuck for 23s! [ndctl:4365] [...] Supported: Yes CPU: 9 PID: 4365 Comm: ndctl Not tainted 4.12.14-94.40-default #1 SLE12-SP4 Hardware name: Intel Corporation S2600WFD/S2600WFD, BIOS SE5C620.86B.01.00.0833.051120182255 05/11/2018 task: ffff9cce7d4410c0 task.stack: ffffbe9eb1bc4000 RIP: 0010:__put_page+0x62/0x80 Call Trace: devm_memremap_pages_release+0x152/0x260 release_nodes+0x18d/0x1d0 device_release_driver_internal+0x160/0x210 unbind_store+0xb3/0xe0 kernfs_fop_write+0x102/0x180 __vfs_write+0x26/0x150 vfs_write+0xad/0x1a0 SyS_write+0x42/0x90 do_syscall_64+0x74/0x150 entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe+0x3d/0xa2 RIP: 0033:0x7fd13166b3d0 It has been reported on an older (4.12) kernel but the current upstream code doesn't cond_resched in the hot remove code at all and the given range to remove might be really large. Fix the issue by calling cond_resched once per memory section.
