Subject[RFC PATCH] mm/swapfile: add cond_resched() in get_swap_pages()
Date
We found that the plist_for_each_entry_safe() loop in get_swap_pages()
could reach tens of thousands of times to find available space (extreme
case: cond_resched() is not called in the loop). The test scenario is like
commit de1ccfb64824 ("swapfile: fix soft lockup in scan_swap_map_slots")
does. On the other hand, scan_swap_map_slots() needs to reach LATENCY_LIMIT
before calling cond_resched(), so cond_resched() is needed when failed to
find available space to avoid softlockup.
