Keith Busch eeba1284f3 vfio/type1: conditional rescheduling while pinning 
[ Upstream commit b1779e4f20 ]

A large DMA mapping request can loop through dma address pinning for
many pages. In cases where THP can not be used, the repeated vmf_insert_pfn can
be costly, so let the task reschedule as need to prevent CPU stalls. Failure to
do so has potential harmful side effects, like increased memory pressure
as unrelated rcu tasks are unable to make their reclaim callbacks and
result in OOM conditions.

 rcu: INFO: rcu_sched self-detected stall on CPU

README 

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 Restructured Text 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.
