Shijie Luo af133ade9a ext4: add cond_resched() to ext4_protect_reserved_inode
When journal size is set too big by "mkfs.ext4 -J size=", or when
we mount a crafted image to make journal inode->i_size too big,
the loop, "while (i < num)", holds cpu too long. This could cause
soft lockup.

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.
