Cannon Matthews 48b019a51a mm: hugetlb: yield when prepping struct pages
commit 520495fe96 upstream.

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.

README

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.
