[PATCH ipvs-next v3 2/2] ipvs: use cond_resched_rcu() helper when walking connections

From: Simon Horman
Date: Wed May 22 2013 - 01:50:50 EST


This avoids the situation where walking of a large number of connections
may prevent scheduling for a long time while also avoiding excessive
calls to rcu_read_unlock() and rcu_read_lock().

Note that in the case of !CONFIG_PREEMPT_RCU this will
add a call to cond_resched().

[ja@xxxxxx: add cond_resched_rcu to more places]
