powerpc/book3s64/hash: Add cond_resched to avoid soft lockup warning
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
With large memory (8TB and more) hotplug, we can get soft lockup
warnings as below. These were caused by a long loop without any
explicit cond_resched which is a problem for !PREEMPT kernels.

Avoid this using cond_resched() while inserting hash page table
entries. We already do similar cond_resched() in __add_pages(), see
commit f64ac5e ("mm, memory_hotplug: add scheduling point to
__add_pages").
