From 09838df9d2ff31252a69a8393ea96a9734eba7e8 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Eric Dumazet Date: Sun, 10 Jun 2012 21:11:57 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] dummy: fix rcu_sched self-detected stalls [ Upstream commit 16b0dc29c1af9df341428f4c49ada4f626258082 ] Trying to "modprobe dummy numdummies=30000" triggers : INFO: rcu_sched self-detected stall on CPU { 8} (t=60000 jiffies) After this splat, RTNL is locked and reboot is needed. We must call cond_resched() to avoid this, even holding RTNL. Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet Signed-off-by: David S.
