From 8e53c073a41795365eb0e47ae23441dc01c70511 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: zhong jiang Date: Wed, 14 Dec 2016 15:04:23 -0800 Subject: kexec: add cond_resched into kimage_alloc_crash_control_pages A soft lookup will occur when I run trinity in syscall kexec_load. the corresponding stack information is as follows. BUG: soft lockup - CPU#6 stuck for 22s! [trinity-c6:13859] Kernel panic - not syncing: softlockup: hung tasks CPU: 6 PID: 13859 Comm: trinity-c6 Tainted: G O L ----V------- 3.10.0-327.28.3.35.zhongjiang.x86_64 #1 Hardware name: Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd.

The patch have been tested and above issue is not appear. Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1481164674-42775-1-git-send-email-zhongjiang@huawei.com Signed-off-by: zhong jiang Acked-by: "Eric W.
