[patch 02/11] posix-timers: Add cond_resched() to posix_timer_add() search loop
Posted by Thomas Gleixner 11 months, 2 weeks ago
From: Eric Dumazet <edumazet@google.com>

With a large number of POSIX timers the search for a valid ID might cause a
soft lockup on PREEMPT_NONE/VOLUNTARY kernels.

Add cond_resched() to the loop to prevent that.
