From 3cc4a84e026e8d61b7ffe4a7367ed09a555f2c5b Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Eric Dumazet Date: Thu, 3 Dec 2015 11:12:07 -0800 Subject: [PATCH] proc: add a reschedule point in proc_readfd_common() User can pass an arbitrary large buffer to getdents(). It is typically a 32KB buffer used by libc scandir() implementation. When scanning /proc/{pid}/fd, we can hold cpu way too long, so add a cond_resched() to be kind with other tasks. We've seen latencies of more than 50ms on real workloads.
