Li RongQing d056bc45b6 RDMA/core: Prevent soft lockup during large user memory region cleanup
When a process exits with numerous large, pinned memory regions consisting
of 4KB pages, the cleanup of the memory region through __ib_umem_release()
may cause soft lockups. This is because unpin_user_page_range_dirty_lock()
is called in a tight loop for unpin and releasing page without yielding the
CPU.

Fix soft lockup issues by incorporating cond_resched() calls within
__ib_umem_release(), and this SG entries are typically grouped in 2MB
chunks on x86_64, adding cond_resched() should has minimal performance
impact.

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 reStructuredText 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.
