Raghavendra Rao Ananta 4ddfab5436 KVM: arm64: Reschedule as needed when destroying the stage-2 page-tables
When a large VM, specifically one that holds a significant number of PTEs,
gets abruptly destroyed, the following warning is seen during the
page-table walk:

 sched: CPU 0 need_resched set for > 100018840 ns (100 ticks) without schedule

The warning is seen majorly on the host kernels that are configured
not to force-preempt, such as CONFIG_PREEMPT_NONE=y. To avoid this,
instead of walking the entire page-table in one go, split it into
smaller ranges, by checking for cond_resched() between each range.
Since the path is executed during VM destruction, after the
page-table structure is unlinked from the KVM MMU, relying on
cond_resched_rwlock_write() isn't necessary.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
