Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
mm/swapfile: add cond_resched() in get_swap_pages()
The softlockup still occurs in get_swap_pages() under memory pressure. 64
CPU cores, 64GB memory, and 28 zram devices, the disksize of each zram
device is 50MB with same priority as si. Use the stress-ng tool to
increase memory pressure, causing the system to oom frequently.
The plist_for_each_entry_safe() loops in get_swap_pages() could reach tens
of thousands of times to find available space (extreme case:
cond_resched() is not called in scan_swap_map_slots()). Let's add
cond_resched() into get_swap_pages() when failed to find available space
to avoid softlockup.
Affected configurations
• linux linux kernel (< 4.14.306)
• linux linux kernel (>= 4.15 < 4.19.273)
• linux linux kernel (>= 4.20 < 5.4.232)
• linux linux kernel (>= 5.5 < 5.10.168)
• linux linux kernel (>= 5.11 < 5.15.93)
• linux linux kernel (>= 5.16 < 6.1.11)
• linux linux kernel 6.2
