Description
Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
mm/swap: add cond_resched() in swap_reclaim_full_clusters to prevent softlockup
We hit a real softlockup in an internal stress test environment. The
workload was LTP memory/swap stress on a large arm64 machine, with 320
CPUs, about 1TB memory and an 8.6GB swap device. The system was under
heavy load and the swap device had a large number of full clusters. The
softlockup was triggered during a stress test after about 3 days.
So, add periodic cond_resched() calls during large full_clusters
reclaim operations to prevent softlockup issues.
Detailed call trace as follow:
