Anshuman Khandual abcc786278 mm/mprotect: add a cond_resched() inside change_pmd_range()
commit 4991c09c7c upstream.

While testing on a large CPU system, detected the following RCU stall
many times over the span of the workload.  This problem is solved by
adding a cond_resched() in the change_pmd_range() function.

  INFO: rcu_sched detected stalls on CPUs/tasks:
   154-....: (670 ticks this GP) idle=022/140000000000000/0 softirq=2825/2825 fqs=612
   (detected by 955, t=6002 jiffies, g=4486, c=4485, q=90864)
  Sending NMI from CPU 955 to CPUs 154:

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

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

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.
