Paul E. McKenney 0a3b3c253a mm/mmap.c: Add cond_resched() for exit_mmap() CPU stalls
A large process running on a heavily loaded system can encounter the
following RCU CPU stall warning:

  rcu: INFO: rcu_sched self-detected stall on CPU

And on a PREEMPT=n kernel, the "while (vma)" loop in exit_mmap() can run
for a very long time given a large process.  This commit therefore adds
a cond_resched() to this loop, providing RCU any needed quiescent states.

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.
