[ Upstream commit 649920c6 ] In powerpc servers with large memory(32TB), we watched several soft lockups for hugepage under stress tests. The call traces are as follows: 1. get_page_from_freelist+0x2d8/0xd50 __alloc_pages_nodemask+0x180/0xc20 alloc_fresh_huge_page+0xb0/0x190 set_max_huge_pages+0x164/0x3b0 2. prep_new_huge_page+0x5c/0x100 alloc_fresh_huge_page+0xc8/0x190 set_max_huge_pages+0x164/0x3b0 This patch fixes such soft lockups. It is safe to call cond_resched() there because it is out of spin_lock/unlock section.
