Nathan Lynch eb327e9863 powerpc/pseries: explicitly reschedule during drmem_lmb list traversal
[ Upstream commit 9d6792ffe140240ae54c881cc4183f9acc24b4df ]

The drmem lmb list can have hundreds of thousands of entries, and
unfortunately lookups take the form of linear searches. As long as
this is the case, traversals have the potential to monopolize the CPU
and provoke lockup reports, workqueue stalls, and the like unless
they explicitly yield.

Rather than placing cond_resched() calls within various
for_each_drmem_lmb() loop blocks in the code, put it in the iteration
expression of the loop macro itself so users can't omit it.

Introduce a drmem_lmb_next() iteration helper function which calls
cond_resched() at a regular interval during array traversal. Each
iteration of the loop in DLPAR code paths can involve around ten RTAS
calls which can each take up to 250us, so this ensures the check is
performed at worst every few milliseconds.

README

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
