[PATCH] coredump: add cond_resched() to dump_user_range
From: Rik van Riel
Date: Thu Oct 10 2024 - 11:39:28 EST
The loop between elf_core_dump() and dump_user_range() can run for
so long that the system shows softlockup messages, with side effects
like workqueues and RCU getting stuck on the core dumping CPU.
Add a cond_resched() in dump_user_range() to avoid that softlockup.
