From 520495fe96d74e05db585fc748351e0504d8f40d Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Cannon Matthews Date: Tue, 3 Jul 2018 17:02:43 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] mm: hugetlb: yield when prepping struct pages When booting with very large numbers of gigantic (i.e. 1G) pages, the operations in the loop of gather_bootmem_prealloc, and specifically prep_compound_gigantic_page, takes a very long time, and can cause a softlockup if enough pages are requested at boot. For example booting with 3844 1G pages requires prepping (set_compound_head, init the count) over 1 billion 4K tail pages, which takes considerable time. Add a cond_resched() to the outer loop in gather_bootmem_prealloc() to prevent this lockup. Tested: Booted with softlockup_panic=1 hugepagesz=1G hugepages=3844 and no softlockup is reported, and the hugepages are reported as successfully setup.
