Hello,
In XenServer we have seen the watchdog occasionally triggering during
domain creation if 1GB pages are scrubbed in-place during physmap
population. The following series attempt to mitigate this by adding
preemption to page scrubbing in populate_physmap(). Also a new limit
and command line option to signal the maximum allocation order when
doing in-place scrubbing. This is set by default to
CONFIG_PTDOM_MAX_ORDER.
Thanks, Roger.

xen/mm: enforce SCRUB_DEBUG checks for MEMF_no_scrub allocations
xen/mm: allow deferred scrub of physmap populate allocated pages
xen/mm: limit non-scrubbed allocations to a specific order
