+Subject: fs/proc: fix softlockup in __read_vmcore (part 2)
+
+From: Rik van Riel <riel@surriel.com>
+
+commit cbc5dde0a461240046e8a41c43d7c3b76d5db952 upstream.
+
+Since commit 5cbcb62dddf5 ("fs/proc: fix softlockup in __read_vmcore") the
+number of softlockups in __read_vmcore at kdump time have gone down, but
+they still happen sometimes.
+
+In a memory constrained environment like the kdump image, a softlockup is
+not just a harmless message, but it can interfere with things like RCU
+freeing memory, causing the crashdump to get stuck.
+
+The second loop in __read_vmcore has a lot more opportunities for natural
+sleep points, like scheduling out while waiting for a data write to
+happen, but apparently that is not always enough.
+
+Add a cond_resched() to the second loop in __read_vmcore to (hopefully)
+get rid of the softlockups.
