Subject: [PATCH] powerpc/mm: Add cond_resched() while removing hpte mappings
Date: Wed, 10 Mar 2021 13:29:38 +0530 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20210310075938.361656-1-vaibhav@linux.ibm.com> (raw)
While removing large number of mappings from hash page tables for
large memory systems as soft-lockup is reported because of the time
spent inside htap_remove_mapping() like one below:
watchdog: BUG: soft lockup - CPU#8 stuck for 23s!
<snip>
NIP plpar_hcall+0x38/0x58
LR pSeries_lpar_hpte_invalidate+0x68/0xb0
Call Trace:
0x1fffffffffff000 (unreliable)

__vfs_write+0x3c/0x70
vfs_write+0xd4/0x270
ksys_write+0xdc/0x130
system_call+0x5c/0x70
Fix this by adding a cond_resched() to the loop in
htap_remove_mapping() that issues hcall to remove hpte mapping. This
should prevent the soft-lockup from being reported.
