From 987d89b6442ba0e0758405f691f227fd564a918f Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Shijie Luo Date: Sat, 15 Feb 2020 03:02:06 -0500 Subject: [PATCH] ext4: add cond_resched() to __ext4_find_entry() commit fd5a0dee55eb758eee4e8db3e26adb89619bc01c upstream. We tested a soft lockup problem in linux 4.19 which could also be found in linux 5.x. When dir inode takes up a large number of blocks, and if the directory is growing when we are searching, it's possible the restart branch could be called many times, and the do while loop could hold cpu a long time. Here is the call trace in linux 4.19.
