Jan Kara 7594dae6cc writeback: Avoid softlockup when switching many inodes
[ Upstream commit 66c14dccd810d42ec5c73bb8a9177489dfd62278 ]

process_inode_switch_wbs_work() can be switching over 100 inodes to a
different cgroup. Since switching an inode requires counting all dirty &
under-writeback pages in the address space of each inode, this can take
a significant amount of time. Add a possibility to reschedule after
processing each inode to avoid softlockups.

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.
