John Pittman 120130a757 dm kcopyd: avoid softlockup in run_complete_job
[ Upstream commit 784c9a29e9 ]

It was reported that softlockups occur when using dm-snapshot ontop of
slow (rbd) storage.  E.g.:

[ 4047.990647] watchdog: BUG: soft lockup - CPU#10 stuck for 22s! [kworker/10:23:26177]
...
[ 4048.034151] Workqueue: kcopyd do_work [dm_mod]

...

[ 4048.034233] Kernel panic - not syncing: softlockup: hung tasks

Fix this by calling cond_resched() after run_complete_job()'s callout to
the dm_kcopyd_notify_fn (which is dm-snap.c:copy_callback in the above
trace).

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

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

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.
