[merged mm-hotfixes-stable] mm-kmemleak-prevent-soft-lockup-in-kmemleak_scans-object-iteration-loops.patch removed from -mm tree

[Andrew Morton]

The quilt patch titled
     Subject: mm/kmemleak: prevent soft lockup in kmemleak_scan()'s object iteration loops
has been removed from the -mm tree.  Its filename was
     mm-kmemleak-prevent-soft-lockup-in-kmemleak_scans-object-iteration-loops.patch

This patch was dropped because it was merged into the mm-hotfixes-stable branch
of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/akpm/mm

Subject: mm/kmemleak: prevent soft lockup in kmemleak_scan()'s object iteration loops
Date: Thu, 20 Oct 2022 13:56:19 -0400

Commit 6edda04ccc7c ("mm/kmemleak: prevent soft lockup in first object
iteration loop of kmemleak_scan()") adds cond_resched() in the first
object iteration loop of kmemleak_scan().  However, it turns that the 2nd
objection iteration loop can still cause soft lockup to happen in some
cases.  So add a cond_resched() call in the 2nd and 3rd loops as well to
prevent that and for completeness.
