+Subject: mm: memcg: fix memcg reclaim soft lockup
+
+From: Xunlei Pang <xlpang@linux.alibaba.com>
+
+commit e3336cab2579012b1e72b5265adf98e2d6e244ad upstream.
+
+We've met softlockup with "CONFIG_PREEMPT_NONE=y", when the target memcg
+doesn't have any reclaimable memory.
+
+It can be easily reproduced as below:
+
+ watchdog: BUG: soft lockup - CPU#0 stuck for 111s![memcg_test:2204]
+ CPU: 0 PID: 2204 Comm: memcg_test Not tainted 5.9.0-rc2+ #12
+ Call Trace:

+ __do_fault+0x4d/0xf9
+ handle_mm_fault+0x1080/0x1790
+
+It only happens on our 1-vcpu instances, because there's no chance for
+oom reaper to run to reclaim the to-be-killed process.
+
+Add a cond_resched() at the upper shrink_node_memcgs() to solve this
+issue, this will mean that we will get a scheduling point for each memcg
+in the reclaimed hierarchy without any dependency on the reclaimable
+memory in that memcg thus making it more predictable.
