From f418dddffc8007945fd5962380ebde770a240cf5 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Michael Ellerman Date: Wed, 16 Oct 2019 23:27:32 +1100 Subject: [PATCH] usercopy: Avoid soft lockups in test_check_nonzero_user() On a machine with a 64K PAGE_SIZE, the nested for loops in test_check_nonzero_user() can lead to soft lockups, eg: watchdog: BUG: soft lockup - CPU#4 stuck for 22s!

Instead tweak it to only scan a 1024 byte region, but make it cross the page boundary.
