From 1fdcce6e16c54facc4f0688630d3b9ecfcaa411f Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Michal Hocko Date: Tue, 3 Oct 2017 16:16:23 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] memremap: add scheduling point to devm_memremap_pages devm_memremap_pages is initializing struct pages in for_each_device_pfn and that can take quite some time. We have even seen a soft lockup triggering on a non preemptive kernel NMI watchdog: BUG: soft lockup - CPU#61 stuck for 22s!
