We see reported stalls/lockups in quarantine_remove_cache() on machines with large amounts of RAM. quarantine_remove_cache() needs to scan whole quarantine in order to take out all objects belonging to the cache. Quarantine is currently 1/32-th of RAM, e.g. on a machine with 256GB of memory that will be 8GB. Moreover quarantine scanning is a walk over uncached linked list, which is slow. Add cond_resched() after scanning of each non-empty batch of objects. Batches are specifically kept of reasonable size for quarantine_put(). On a machine with 256GB of RAM we should have ~512 non-empty batches, each with 16MB of objects.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. 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.
