[PATCH 6.15 060/192] KVM: Allow CPU to reschedule while setting per-page memory attributes

[Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org>]

6.15-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Liam Merwick <liam.merwick@oracle.com>

commit 47bb584237cc285e3a860b70c01f7bda9dcfb05b upstream.

When running an SEV-SNP guest with a sufficiently large amount of memory (1TB+),
the host can experience CPU soft lockups when running an operation in
kvm_vm_set_mem_attributes() to set memory attributes on the whole
range of guest memory.

While looping through the range of memory setting the attributes,
call cond_resched() to give the scheduler a chance to run a higher
priority task on the runqueue if necessary and avoid staying in
kernel mode long enough to trigger the lockup.
