From: Keith Busch <kbusch@xxxxxxxxxx> A large DMA mapping request can loop through dma address pinning for many pages. The repeated vmf_insert_pfn can be costly, so let the task reschedule as need to prevent CPU stalls. rcu: INFO: rcu_sched self-detected stall on CPU rcu: 36-....: (20999 ticks this GP) idle=b01c/1/0x4000000000000000 softirq=35839/35839 fqs=3538 rcu: hardirqs softirqs csw/system rcu: number: 0 107 0 rcu: cputime: 50 0 10446 ==> 10556(ms) rcu: (t=21075 jiffies g=377761 q=204059 ncpus=384) ... <TASK> ? asm_sysvec_apic_timer_interrupt+0x16/0x20 ? walk_system_ram_range+0x63/0x120 ? walk_system_ram_range+0x46/0x120 ? pgprot_writethrough+0x20/0x20 lookup_memtype+0x67/0xf0 track_pfn_insert+0x20/0x40 vmf_insert_pfn_prot+0x88/0x140 vfio_pci_mmap_huge_fault+0xf9/0x1b0 [vfio_pci_core] __do_fault+0x28/0x1b0 handle_mm_fault+0xef1/0x2560 fixup_user_fault+0xf5/0x270 vaddr_get_pfns+0x169/0x2f0 [vfio_iommu_type1] vfio_pin_pages_remote+0x162/0x8e0 [vfio_iommu_type1] vfio_iommu_type1_ioctl+0x1121/0x1810 [vfio_iommu_type1] ? futex_wake+0x1c1/0x260 x64_sys_call+0x234/0x17a0 do_syscall_64+0x63/0x130 ? exc_page_fault+0x63/0x130 entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe+0x4b/0x53 Signed-off-by: Keith Busch <kbusch@xxxxxxxxxx> --- drivers/vfio/vfio_iommu_type1.c | 1 + 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+) diff --git a/drivers/vfio/vfio_iommu_type1.c b/drivers/vfio/vfio_iommu_type1.c index 50ebc9593c9d7..9ad5fcc2de7c7 100644 --- a/drivers/vfio/vfio_iommu_type1.c +++ b/drivers/vfio/vfio_iommu_type1.c @@ -679,6 +679,7 @@ static long vfio_pin_pages_remote(struct vfio_dma *dma, unsigned long vaddr, if (unlikely(disable_hugepages)) break; + cond_resched(); } out: -- 2.47.1
