Anything that walks all inodes on sb->s_inodes list without rescheduling risks softlockups. Previous efforts were made in 2 functions, see:c27d82ffs/drop_caches.c: avoid softlockups in drop_pagecache_sb()ac05fbbinode: don't softlockup when evicting inodes but there hasn't been an audit of all walkers, so do that now. This also consistently moves the cond_resched() calls to the bottom of each loop in cases where it already exists. One loop remains: remove_dquot_ref(), because I'm not quite sure how to deal with that one w/o taking the i_lock.

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.
