    ipc/sem.c: add cond_resched in exit_sme · 2a1613a5
    Nikolay Borisov authored
    In CONFIG_PREEMPT=n kernel a softlockup was observed while the for loop in
    exit_sem.  Apparently it's possible for the loop to take quite a long time
    and it doesn't have a scheduling point in it.  Since the codes is
    executing under an rcu read section this may also cause rcu stalls, which
    in turn block synchronize_rcu operations, which more or less de-stabilises
    the whole system.
    
    Fix this by introducing a cond_resched() at the beginning of the loop.
    
    So this patch fixes the following:
