From 2a7a0e0fdc49a08740a69d51ef44ef09763072b0 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Hugh Dickins Date: Wed, 4 Jun 2014 16:11:04 -0700 Subject: mm, memcg: periodically schedule when emptying page list mem_cgroup_force_empty_list() can iterate a large number of pages on an lru and mem_cgroup_move_parent() doesn't return an errno unless certain criteria, none of which indicate that the iteration may be taking too long, is met. We have encountered the following stack trace many times indicating "need_resched set for > 51000020 ns (51 ticks) without schedule", for example: scheduler_tick() mem_cgroup_move_account+0x4d/0x1d5 mem_cgroup_move_parent+0x8d/0x109 mem_cgroup_reparent_charges+0x149/0x2ba mem_cgroup_css_offline+0xeb/0x11b cgroup_offline_fn+0x68/0x16b process_one_work+0x129/0x350 If this iteration is taking too long, we still need to do cond_resched() even when an individual page is not busy.
