If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Wei Fang commit 47be61845c775643f1aa4d2a54343549f943c94c upstream. We triggered soft-lockup under stress test which open/access/write/close one file concurrently on more than five different CPUs: WARN: soft lockup - CPU#0 stuck for 11s! [who:30631] ... [] dput+0x100/0x298 [] terminate_walk+0x4c/0x60 [] path_lookupat+0x5cc/0x7a8 [] filename_lookup+0x38/0xf0 [] user_path_at_empty+0x78/0xd0 [] user_path_at+0x1c/0x28 [] SyS_faccessat+0xb4/0x230 ->d_lock trylock may failed many times because of concurrently operations, and dput() may execute a long time. Fix this by replacing cpu_relax() with cond_resched(). dput() used to be sleepable, so make it sleepable again should be safe.
