mm, memcg: periodically schedule when emptying page list
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
mem_cgroup_force_empty_list() can iterate a large number of pages on an
lru and mem_cgroup_move_parent() doesn't return an errno unless certain
criteria, none of which indicate that the iteration may be taking too
long, is met.

We have encountered the following stack trace many times indicating
"need_resched set for > 51000020 ns (51 ticks) without schedule", for
example:

	scheduler_tick()
	<timer irq>
	mem_cgroup_move_account+0x4d/0x1d5
	mem_cgroup_move_parent+0x8d/0x109
	mem_cgroup_reparent_charges+0x149/0x2ba
	mem_cgroup_css_offline+0xeb/0x11b
	cgroup_offline_fn+0x68/0x16b
	process_one_work+0x129/0x350

If this iteration is taking too long, we still need to do cond_resched()
even when an individual page is not busy.
